    Ironhide was not obtained when I took these pics. These are from our old apartment.

    I have been checking over my collection and I need to upgrade some of the boxes, mainly stuff from 84 and 85. They are not bad but not the same standard I want and have the other things in. Also need to change some items here and there like Ratchets roof etc etc. But overall I think I can avrage a C9 on all bots in the collection and boxes around C8.

    Tracks was actualluy my first MIB item I got when I decided to uppgrade to MIB from loose. He is an awesoem toy.

    Damnit EC, just HOW MANY of those Japanese pieces do you have in your collection? And I thought you were a US Boxed Collector all this while!

    So why not get the reissues? You can save some money and have the best of both worlds.

    Perfect timing. I just completed the Maximus Trinity today when Brave arrived on my Canadian doorstep. Hope to have them all at the same address one day.

    heroic_decepticon I would offer to trade my house for your TF collection but I don't think that would be a fair trade for you.

    Very flattered.
    Have looked at your collection pics. Impressive stuff, I like that you focus on pre rubs for the 1984 line :D 

    thanks!

    Thanks. I don't know why but even when I was a kid I never liked the rub signs. When I first starting collecting this time around I was only intending to get MIB figures from the '84 line but now that I'm into it I seem to be wanting them all with their boxes. I've been thinking about what I still want to get for my collection. Maybe if I write it here that'll make it "real". lol.

    Definitely want
    Shrapnel, Kickback, Bombshell, Blitzwing, Astrotrain, Reflector, Grimlock and *sigh* Fortress Maximus.

    Would like to have
    The other Dinobots, Devastator, Bruticus, Superion, Soundwave's other cassettes, more minibots, Metroplex.
