G'day all. Came across this board earlier today and though it was a fun place so I decided to join up. Good to see there's lots of other Aussie Transformers fans. ;)
Bit about me:
Am 26 years old and have been a long-time Transformers fan since the 80s. My interest in Transformers generally pertains to G1, Beast Wars and RiD. I don't hold any of the other incarnations in as high regard, except for Armada and the live-action movie, both of which I despise.
I started recollecting Transformers recently and only have about 50 items in my collection right now (but it will eventually grow bigger over time), most of which I keep MISB/MOC. My most prized Transformers item is the MP04 Conoy, which I got from Target like some of you here did.
I'm also a big Voltron fan and collect Voltron items as well, which presently outnumbers my Transformers collection. My prized Voltron items are the 19 original pencils I have from the Devil's Due Voltron comic. Most of the pencils are EJ Su works, which are fantastic.
As I prefer Voltron over Transformers, Voltron tends to take priority over Transformers when it comes to collecting.
Some of my other interests include:
-- bike riding (except during magpie season as I get attacked too often)
-- the Christopher Reeve Superman films. The first Superman film is my favourite movie of all-time
-- martial arts
-- video editing
-- watching DVDs
-- listening to the soundtracks to Superman I-IV (the "Superman -- The Music" boxset), Supergirl, Star Wars, and Masters Of The Universe (the 2-disc set from La La Land Records; I was one of the lucky 150 customers to get a Bill Conti-signed copy)
