Have you ever gone through your house, and found TFs in a cupboard or some where and you forgot you placed them there? "I never knew I had these!":eek:

Then you keep finding more as you go along in your hunt lol:o:p

Perhaps just getting old.....lol

Whats been the best TF find in your own premises or car etc that you didnt realise you had?

not that i had not realised i had them, but quite often i go 'wow i forgot i had this/these guys' its always fun, a bit like when you find money in your wallet you forgot you had :)

Nope.

I've always organised and tried to keep track of my Transformers. Made my first collection list in 1985 on our Commodore 64! :) It was so simple then -- just made it on a word processor program - only had 5 columns: name, faction, function, motto, sub-group. From 1984-87 I displayed my Transformers on top of a set of chest drawers, then in 1987-88 I started displaying them on bookshelves.

Just found a Alternity Convoy sitting MIB behind a few Iron Man figures on my DVD shelf. Completely forgot that I had the bugger!

I once found a Titanium Bumblebee at the bottom of a Myer bag in a pile of other bags. Had forgotten it and had purchased another one.

When sorting through some stuff recently I found Action Master Blaster and Soundwave and didn't remember I owned either of them.

No. Alzheimers runs in the family but as long as I keep drinking my Brahmi tea I'll be juuuust fine.

I'm terrible for this.

I've bought figures/busts and only realised later that I already owned them. :mad:

I'm also constantly finding something I'd forgotten I'd bought.

Most recent one was the Palisades Soundwave statue. Totally forgot about it.

Was talking about how I may want to grab one, then while looking through photos of my top shelves, what did I spy?

:(

Like Goki I keep my collection super-organised and record what I have in a spreadsheet. 99% of it is on display in my collection room, a room that I had built specifically for my collection. That doesn't stop me from dreaming of opening up a cupboard and finding a Fort Max tucked away. I can still dream :)
