^ Amazing, truly amazing! 

Love the collection and the sheer un-cluttered feel to it.

 

brry-icy, that is one amazingly well displayed collection. Outstanding work mate!!

 

Bryce...just wow. The Powermaster group shot followed by those collection pictures...wow, glorious bro, glorious. Congratulations!

All the best
Maz

 

@brr-icy... Looking good.  

 

Sweet pics Bryce! I love the Decepticon Powermaster picture with the black background. The colors on them match so well. I have Darkwing and Dreadwind but sadly lack Overlord. Who is the Autobot in that pic?

 

Doubledealer. As the name implies he's a Decepticon spy amongst the Autobot ranks. He has a secondary 'Robot' mode which is a Decepticon eagle of some sort.

iDD

 

That is a fantastic display. Nice and spacious so you can really see and appreciate everything.

 

Incredibly jealous right now Brr-ice

 

@brr_icy: Goodness gracious!  :

 

thanks a lot guys, i wasn't completely happy with some of the shelves, so as it seems to be my habit, i posted pics of everything, went and bought risers and did the final adjustments to the displays.

i'll keep the repeats out of the post, but these are all the updated shelves:

Overviews:











Shelves I adjusted:

Con Head and Targetmasters, they'll be expanding to the bottom empty shelf once i complete the set:



Autobots:

Wanted to see Jetfire and Superion better:



This shelf was the biggest offender before, couldn't see chromedome and highbrow well



Think Landcross will fill this shelf out nicely  



looks less crowded overall i think



and just because i got another pretender today:



now i'm content with that room lol

 

Those rock, thanks a lot buddy!

I can't argue with that  

 

I was wondering; what G1 toy is most efficient at using all of it's accessories?

I mean, you're often left with spare parts no matter what mode you transform it to, so which TF most effectively uses all or most of those parts in all modes?

Fort Max for example may not use all of his accessories, but with all the storage compartments, you can at least chuck most of them in those. Apeface's shield and gun can be attached somewhere in vehicle and robot modes but not in gorilla mode. Well, you probably can, but it's gonna look pretty dumb.

in b4 someone says Sky Lynx  

 

Cool. Though I see you're in Sweden, I noticed you noted just two on that list with UK prices. I was doing US prices because most of the pictures out there were the US and that was the easiest market to track. I also took some notes on adjusting for inflation from (84-90) to compare prices to present dollars.

 

Brr-icy. On top of your Page 705 pics, it looks like some of the boxes have price tags on them. It looks like a... yellow tag on Scattershot? and a whitish tag on Wheeljack if I'm reading them correctly. Might you post closer pics or just report on the store and the price? Same goes for the... red tank thing Micromaster box.

It would be great seeing the Decepticon Headmasters & Targetmasters when their rosters are complete as well as the Pretenders. I don't like the direction they went in with them, but it would still be cool seeing them all together or fully profiled (robot mode, vehicle mode, shell) in high-quality images.

Nice picture of Omega Supreme & Sky Lynx. It looks like Omega Supreme is petting Sky Lynx like a pet and Sky Lynx likes it. A boy and his dog, scratch that, a giant robot and his giant pet robot bird/lynx thing.

It's funny seeing how small Megatron is compared to his gun-toting counterparts (Shockwave, Galvatron, Sixshot).

Runabout/Runamuck... interesting. I never noticed their headrest and the backdrop behind their legs were distinct colors (black car has gray, white car has red. Sorry, I get their names/colors mixed up). Their hood also have a different colored rectangle in them.

Mindwipe always made me think of the other black & brown Takara/Hasbro villainous bipedal bat- Blitzkrieg Bat from Battle Beasts (that quasi-affiliated toyline). BB came out in 1986 IIRC vs. Mindwipe's 1987.
Battle Beasts Series 1
(Blitzkrieg Bat is #12)

Doubledealer visually looks like a mashup between Onslaught and Hot Spot/Defensor. His color scheme makes him look like an evil Autobot (kind of like in the cartoon how Wreck-Gar & Junkions looked like ancient-styled, rusted Decepticons). The shoulder cannon seems to harken back to several 1984 figures (Soundwave, Sideswipe). Which leads me to...

IIRC, Doubledealer was a Mercenary. In terms of packaging, he's a Decepticon (wasn't there a similar issue with Zodac in He-Man? He was officially Neutral, but because of wanting to avoid making things complicated, they made him a hero?) but in terms of what he is, he sells his services to either side. In that concept, he might be a disloyal Decepticon, loyal to only himself. His robot mode was an Autobot and was used to interact with them whereas his buzzard mode was what he interacted with Decepticons. Each Powermaster was loyal to their respective causes and was unaware Doubledealer was playing both sides.

 

Epic shot!

 

These are some of my all-time favorite G1 Decepticons. Nice shot man.

 

Question, how much would a loose working radio with that red Frenzy on the front be worth? It functions, has the Decepticon cover, but no headphones at all.
