    Scoria and Quakewave are still my representations of those characters on my shelf. They're just that good IMO.

    The I gear MP seekers with the hip kibble fix. Had the cone heads, Thundercracker, and Sunstorm. Just a couple lingering now. Formative times in my collecting habits.

    iGear Weapon Specialist. I remember being so psyched about an Ironhide that transformed into a robot that looked like what I saw in the cartoon. Of course, he’s long been relegated to a box in my storage unit since MP Ironhide came out.

    I guess that it depends on the definition of 3P.

    My first non-TT official was a purchase of a YES Model YM-02 (Thundercracker) and BB7 Skywarp. These are kind of 3P but more KO.
    After that was FT Spotter (Reflector).

    The FP Bruticus Crosfire Upgrade kit, waaay back in 2011 or so before I quit collecting for a couple of years. Then it was Terminus Hexatron Continuum, who I got for Christmas in whichever year he was released. The first one I personally spent money on after I started collecting again was Carnifex though.

    Maketoys Trash Talk and Cogwheel. Still love these guys, that face sculpt on Swerve sold me then and still brings a smile to my face.

    Perfect Effect Reflector was my first 3rd Party purchase.

    I eventually sold him and then bought him back once I realized he was perfect for my legends display. :)

    I feel like this is like the 3rd iteration of this thread, but am too lazy to look.

    WST Snarl was mine. It was crap. For a long time I only picked up stuff like Reprolabel sets.

    Then I picked up DX9 Speedoo and Guartinel. I got hooked and preordered the Ratchet/Scrouge set and the IF Blaster, Windblade and Ultra Magnus.
