Hey Guys,

So, well I'm new here as you can tell. Bit of back story: I collected transformers when I was younger. Mainly G2 and Beast Wars stuff. I got as much G1 stuff as I could get my hands on, but it wasn't a lot. Regardless though, was still a couple of hundred figures... which I sold off in my later teen years. I do my best not to regret this *cries a little*.

When the Second Transformers Movie came out (ROTF) I started picking A couple up such as; The Gigantic Devastator, Bumble Bee and a few other dribs and drabs. I Just kept a few of these on a shelve that I couldn't stop looking at every day for a couple of years. I then stumbled into the Reject Shop a few months ago and found 6 Different RTS deluxe class transformers for $10 each and hooked myself.

Since then I got back into collecting and started buying up what I could find locally. And of course a few nice online purchases.

The Road so far:

Sorry for the shoty quality, took them with a phone :D But you'll get the idea.

As for now I'm hunting some Generation, Prime and FOC figures. With a decent chunk on layby at the moment I need to pickup soon.

Look forward to chatting and finding out the goodies this forum has to offer.

Tip for opening carded toys: use a hobby knife or box cutter to cut open the bubble. That way you can remove it without ripping the backing card. :) I wish Hasbro would use taped on removable bubbles like TakaraTOMY does. So much more collector-friendly!

Sadly it looks better than it works. Great for looking at the moon though, that's about it :(

There are actually a few that I didn't open for a while. I let them sit in the dustiest place I could find in the house to gather as much dust as they could... and you know what, the outer package just fell right off. I read something about doing this years ago and thought I'd give it a try. I only done it on the ones I had double of. But I'm surprised it worked.

Using a knife might be a faster (and more hygienic) way of opening carded toys IMHO. :) :D Wait... you buy everything in double$?? Wow! :eek:

Sadly not everything, just every now and then when they're cheap.

BBTS for the bigger ones, Ebay for the little ones :). At first I was planning on getting one cube per bot in my collection but after the collection grew and grew and grew... I kinda scrapped that idea :o:o :Dand just got a lot so i can use it for dioramas and play too hehehe

That's awesome :D didn't even know they sold things like that.

They do, it's in their 3rd party companies section. BBTS usually runs out quick with these cubes so if you spot them dont umm and ahh if you want them, grab it :D:D they won't last I can guarantee you that. Primus knows how many times Ive had to look at other sites for em cubes coz BBTS stock runs out in just a day. They usually sold for US$15 for a packet of 12. You can also get them from Atomic laser but I haven't ordered from them. According to fellow OTCA member Bruticus it takes months for the order to arrive when he did coz I think they are made to order now.

Thank you :D

Autobot and Maximal all the way. I've always been an Optimus fan, as for figure. Not to sure yet. I've not got myself any MP's yet, but right this second I'd probably throw it on my Armada Unicron :D How about yourself?
