Hi everyone!
New member here. At least, I think I'm new. Maybe I had an account here years ago. Maybe I didn't. What are birds? We just don't know.
Anyway, I'm in WA and I've been "into" Transformers since I was kid in the early 90's subsisting on repeats of 80's cartoons and the old "Classics" and "European G1" toys from those days. I still regret not picking up Thunder Clash and Clench when I had the chance.
I've been what I would consider a semi-serious to serious collector since I was about 15 (I'm now 26). Though I'm not sure how serious a collector of toys really has any right to be, but there you go.
Been rekindling my interest in G1 recently by trying to piece together the remaining bits I need for my Scramble City combiners, only to find it seems to be a thing to charge exorbitant international shipping rates on eBay for ever the tiniest things. I couldn't believe people asking $30 to ship a Menasor waistplate from the US! :eek: Maybe some local folks can point to better places for that kind of thing. :)
So... I guess that'll do for an intro thread.
