How many Transformers do you have? (over 1000)

[GoktimusPrime]

Only people who have participated in the main survey poll (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=4972) and voted "1000 or more" are eligible to partake in this poll. As with the main poll, you must count your Transformers according to the Universal Counting Method (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=217).

Thank you.

:eek: Are you a Predacon or Maximal 1Orion2many????:D:p

Have you tried categorizing the ones you brought after the 1000 mark into "TF Faction";) and/or "TF Series";)

Sorry Goktimus prime if i am not allowed to reply here...and if this dosn't help you 1orion2many.:o


(And just in case Gokitimus Prime you have questions these answer :p:):D


yes, i voted in the right poll :p which wasn't this one sadly :(:o )
and I think i can say Yes to I know The Universal Counting Method which basically is:

"Anything with the Transformers name that is from Hasbro/Takara "or otherwise licenced by ether/both of them" that can configure from a "Alternate Mode" to "Lowest" able complete robot mode "and" can fully Transform as was originally designed to do.:rolleyes::p i think )

Anyone can post here - but yeah, only those who have 1000+ (UCM) in their collection are eligible to vote. :)

I have always been curious as to how you guys with 1000+ TFs manage to own so many? especially UCM 1000+ transformer toys?

Surely there must be a large portion of your collection that you dont really like but have bought at the time to complete a set or it was on special etc...
or do you guys like them all??

good job anyways, but i just wanted to ask...

[GoktimusPrime]

For me it's because I've been collecting Transformers continuously since 1984. So basically it's taken me a quarter of a century of constant TF collecting to build my collection, which means that yeah, generally I do get to enjoy them because it's been a gradual process of accumulation rather than say going insane on eBay over a short period of time.

Maximal Dinobot:D, You obviously never seen my pics of the disaster room lol. It's in Grapples artistic creations somewhere and it has got a lot worse :D

[GoktimusPrime]

I categorise mine by series. My collection is displayed by series and my database is also sorted accordingly.

I'd pretty much +1 what Gok said. I've been doing it since they came out in 1984, and apart from a brief pause in the early to mid 90's (which is why my collection has very little G2) have been collecting pretty much constantly.

[Jhiaxus]

I haven't counted mine in a while, or using the universal counting method. So 2500 is my estimate. It's probably closer to 3000 at the moment, but... ehn. 2500 will do.

And in reply to bruticus' query, well its not that hard to manage IF youve got your system instated already all you do is add every figure you buy at the time they arrive. It would be hard if you dont have the spaceand is storing them in boxes coz obviously youve got to figure out where to place these boxes and also labels, which box a new figure be dumped in, which ones to take out for a small display and also if you wanna play with em its kinda troublesome getting em and putting back but, if yuove got a room designated for em, and they're all displayed out in the open like mine its easier.
One drawbackfor mine is the domino effect of my display coz even with a room for em, you can only have so much vertical display space. and it can get crowded still coz I arrange the shelves that there be space in the middle of the room to allow as a play space enough for at least 3-4 people depending how large these people be:D
