I didn't bother bringing my old thread over as it's of course quite dated now, so I'll start another:
So here's the desk in my home office:
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/collection1.jpg
So, in greater detail starting from the left are what I refer to as the Movie's quasi-cast members (characters whose alt mode appeared in the film). Jolt is also here as I opened him this morning. The latest acquisitions usually hang out in this area for quick transformations while working on the MacBook.
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/collection2.jpg
I've got the row of the complete set of Movie scouts (except for Crosshairs on display elsewhere) hanging out behind the laptop. Sort of related to these, I have all but the latest Movie legends still packed away from my recent move. I might swap this back row with the legends from time to time, but I should really just find another place for them.
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/collection3.jpg
Far right on the desk, are all of the Classics Voyagers to date. I think these three as a group could be my current collection favorites.

Next is the bookshelf from top down. We start with Universe Devestator and then the Movie and video game Decepticons.
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/collection5.jpg
Next down are the Movie Autobots followed by my little G1 shelf. I've only started collecting in October and as I'm sure most of you know, collecting G1 at this point in time is expensive, so I've just been grabbing ones which were childhood favorites, specifically one or two from each wave that I was in to. The Protectobots are a new edition and I intend on getting all of the other Scramble City gestalts.
Next down I have a near complete Classics Collection, just missing Games of Deception. Also, Cliffjumper is elsewhere, MISB.

At the base of the bookshelf is my randomly acquired $40 Fortress Maximus. While it's just a body, my goal is to trade it for a Metroplex in excellent condition. PM me if interested. I'm in no rush to do this and am waiting for the right deal, as if I don't get it, being stuck with a $40 Fortress Maximus ain't such a bad thing. (no longer true :))

Lastly, is the reason I was motivated to whip out the camera and do this in the first place. The "I'm-not-an-MISB-colletor-Wall" :D
To clarify, in the top right sector, I have doubles of the figures I love from the movie: Ironhide, Longarm, Bonecrusher, Landmine, and Bumblebee '08. Now, while I try to avoid repaints, I got G1 Starscream and G1 Jazz price matched and quite cheap so I rationalized the decision to collect a complete MISB set of G1 Movie repaints. First Strike Optimus Prime should complete this run and is already en route. I also have some other Movie figures that I'd prefer to keep MISB. I have an opened version of every mold here, so can't justify opening these: Screen Battles, Crosshairs and Evolution of a Hero.
In the far right sector, I have my Classics doubles and Cliffjumper. Jetfire's really the only intented double. I grabbed the Starscream Value Pack because I thought my current Starscream was bunk, but I fixed it. I figure that Starscreams are a bit hard to come by due to the desire to repaint the remaining seekers cheaply, so I'll just hold on to that for a bit. I have a random set of Cybertron mini-cons awarded to me by lhec at the last meet, and my son's first MISB Transformer, Cyber Slammer Bumblebee.
Bottom left is some extras that I'm trying to get rid of (PM me) or saving to exchange for Premiums: Leader Megs, Ironhide, Camshaft, Stockade and Final Stand. Next to those is my "To Open Queue". Basically they're the three reamining Walmart Allspark Deluxes that I'll take my time enjoying to open.
In the middle we have a bucketload of Cliffjumper upgrade kits for the Melbourne crew, and then a bucketload of Deluxes I've acquired for others. I doubt they'll mind me sharing which for: Overcast and Landmine for Goro, Jungle Bonecrusher for Iceburn, Cliffjumper for Demonac, and a full set of the Walmart exclusives for STL.
