    Cubex Huff. I transformed him into bot mode very carefully, just once. He's been sitting happily on my shelf ever since.

    I had two figures in my first order, ToyWorld's second-run of Hegemon and Unique Toys Mania King. Still have both.

    You know, I got them around two years ago, then didn't buy another 3P toy until this year, but just this year I've bought all five Feral Rex guys plus Catilla, all five M3 guys plus the DMY upgrade kit, all five Ordin guys, the Quantron gift set, Fansproject's Sigma L, the five Warbotron Bruticus guys, the four available Guardia guys, plus I got the Uranos guys in a trade and bought the Wing of Uranos upgrade for him.

    I checked out the x2 set as I hadn't actually heard of it before. It's nice, but I'm just not paying $80 plus shipping for an upgrade set. The only set I've seriously considered is the PC-07, the one with the guns and the elbows. Maybe reprolabels, but $32 before shipping for stickers is just way overpriced to me. I can get an MP KO for that. If I could get elbows, guns, a cab for mixmaster, some stickers, and some devy upgrades altogether for around $30-$40 max shipped I'd look into it. Until then it, while very very nice, just seems overpriced to me. But thank you for the recommendation, and I'm glad you like it!

    Mine was only bought at the start of this year. It was MMC Salvia Prominon.

    It's amazing.

    I've been collecting MP for less than a year and my first 3P figure was Appolyon. If a better Megs comes along I will likely replace him on the shelf but will display him in gun mode.

    I have a GTX 970 myself, and I'd say that you made the right decision.

    Fansproject City Commander, and yes, I still have it, although it has been relegated a bit since the arrival of MP Ultra Magnus.

    My first was either igear's Generations Kup heads or the Headrobots Blood kit. Whichever came out first. I still have both!

    Dude! Same starting point for me as well :) 

    Over 25 years out from Transformers, had some G1 toys as a kid in the '80s. Green Giant right around this time last year was my first purchase and it got me hooked. I only even looked at GG because I saw an article about new, larger, more detailed Devastators hitting the market (Hercules and Green Giant) and Devy was always my favorite as a kid. In the past year since GG arrived, I've amassed quite a little collection, mostly 3P but also a lot of Combiner Wars and a few other HasTak figures including a couple MPs, and still have a bunch of things on pre-order including the rest of ToyWorld's Constructor MP-scale Devy. Planning to slow down significantly by the end of the year though. :)
