I have been rather lucky when it comes to my holy grail.

Fortress Maximus, thank goodness for encore
Bumper/Bumblejumper, I managed to get it for $100

My next holy grail, is the complete G1 collection which is only 5 figures away. After that it will have to be X-9 Jaguar
Then SG 2008 Box set (only need Op, SS and Jazz)

as a Masterpiece collector. Hotrod/Rodimus prime

TT or hasbro ,even the B variant if i could but would prefer the normal colours.

i would to love be able to set up my figures to re-create the matrix hand over scene from the 80s movie but i just cant find one without impossibly expensive shipping

there's a bunch of rodimus's (rodimi?) floating around on the web atm try ebay? that are supposedly official product that have had there joints fixed and are being sold without a box might be a good way to pick one up if you don't mind the missing box

ebay isnt an option for me (we blacklisted it as a way to not be broke) and it was the first hard unchangeable rule I set when i decided to start collecting

Mistake, ebay can get some absolute bargains from time to time where all else fail. As much as it is a place where there are scalpels , there are the occasional people who just sell off items reasonably.

Example, my takara sunstorm was purchased at $145.
That's cheaper than rrp

Ha, I tried to connect with zone and operation combination but I cannot bring myself to take that step. Some days even masterforce is a stretch. I will continue to buy the same G1 items, upgrading every little scratch and flap crease. Till all are gone!

Yeah i can see where your coming from. A big part of it for me was when i stumbled across some japanese g1 items in a shop in HK on my honey moon (had no idea what they were). This re-ignited the tf spark for me and i think that thrill is there everytime i see japanese g1 toys
