Help Tiby REPRESENT on ABC Collectors!

Thanks everyone! This is really helping! Some great ideas there! Keep 'em coming!

I can't quite remember how the show found me, but I think they contacted griffin looking for people with large collections. They definitely are hooked on the MP05 thing though. Crazy stuff like that is always newsworthy.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Definitly push the gun mode cause and point out how rediculous it's size is and that all we really do need are bright end caps/barrels on them.

As for lines, I'd go with prime and bumblebee from g1-classics-movie-animated.

But me personally, I'd take g1 jetfire and classics jetfire. :)

Oh yea, take some same universe/henkeis and show people the superior difference between the two in henkeis favor.

Yeah, pretty much. griffin then recommended some of us with large collections to the show. They contacted me back in late 2007/early 2008 but I declined.

Having seen Tiby's collection I know that it'll absolutely kick the socks off the last TF collector who appeared on the show! ;) (video)

Ask ABC if you can keep a recording of the ep that you'll appear in!

I second this one. Take Pretender and AM Bumblebees too.

Ooh! And Slumblebee. :)

4. Older ones and newer ones to show the difference.
5. Both 'Bots and 'Cons.
6. Boxed items if possible (I am a TF Emancipator but I have a few boxed ones)
7. I need to be able to carry them to Tassie.

I need to have the list sent to them asap and discuss it with them this Thursday, so any urgent help is appreciated!

Thanks everyone - I hope I don't disappoint the TF community!

2.) Wouldn't be too hard really. I personally think the BWs show characters had a great range of colours.
3.) Movie Ironhide, Cybertron Evac, Henkei Prime or MP-04
4.) G1 Prime and MP04
6.) Japanese items like Galaxy Force/Henkei and a Botcon exclusive like Airrazor or Astrotrain. Maybe show off how Takara items are better packaged and easy to open while Hasbro is often bundled with twist ties. Sounds like fun.

Wait... Tasmania?! Dude! You got to bring BW Snarl and/or Bound Rogue!! :D

Def. bring animated and talk about how TF toys have change over the years

Talk about how Beast Wars differed from the traditional vehicles

Talk about Henkei :D and how characters from peoples childhoods are given a modern update

There are too many good toys to be left out. But one toy you must bring is G1 Optimus Prime, he's waaaaaay too iconic to not take to the show. :p

...and don't forget Time Warrior. You can wear him on your wrist if you don't have luggage space. ;) If you don't have Time Warrior perhaps griffin would be willing to donate his to me so that I could lend it to you for the show. :D :)

Talk about how binaltech asterisk was intended in Japan for "Mature Adult collectors" :D:D and had them long bioorganic tongue's to capture prepubescent looking girls :p
