Heya! I'm another Death Valley boy (shout out to Liege) who's been a TF Loser for way too long & blown way too much on them as I can care to remember.
Thought I'd give you a brief history of my relationship with TFs.
In the late 80's, I was at a giant Garage Sale where I found a junker Blue & Black transforming jet (Dirge) but because he was ready for the scrapheap, I left him behind.
A year or so later, My mum bought me 4 micromasters which I took to school to show off. I only came home with 2 them & then somehow I lost the other 2 as well - as you do.
Sometime during 2001 (when I was still at uni) I bought a RID Prime & Magnus and when I tried to combine them - I realised I was a sap & put them away.
Halfway through 2005 I saw Energon Unicron in a local David Jones & picked him up. This was followed by Energon Landmine in an Uncle Petes, Energon Galvatron in a TRU & then I was hooked. I seem to pick up TFs going through one line at a time and only get what I want. I can't wait to get my hands on TFTM incinerator, Stockade, Big Daddy & the Scout Repaints. Following that - Classics 2.0 (Universe) is definitely in the firing line.
I'll be posting pics of my humble collection in a bit (the ones that are out on display that is) & my latest acquisition.
Oh & one more thing, these are the only TF related things that survived my childhood.
The Bowls I can remember having forever but the Audiotape story book I only found a couple of months ago at a garage sale I had where I sold all of my Stars Wars lego for $520 - Woo Hoo! Anyway, you reckon the bowls & book (I have no idea what happened to the tape) may actually be worth something?
