    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

    Come on... That's rubbish what if that was a final piece of your collection at a nice price?

    I know what you are on about for ebay and yes I accept that it's no longer a good place to buy stuff but there are so many things not just toys alone that are ahead than what you can be paying.
    Like anything I would do my homework before I buy from ebay.

    But of course if this is your own oath you taken personally to enjoy collecting what you are collecting, I guess that's that. I can understand if it's a sort of a challenge that you stick by it.

    I have my ultimate goal and holy grail as a collector: Transformers Animated Voyager Thundercracker. I know there are only a few known to exist, but it's my dream to get one someday.




    Just so beautiful.

    That toy comes from a utopian alternate universe where Animated never ended and people can eat rainbows.

    I ordered one of my holy grails, the Botcon set Dawn of Future's past and Darksyde Megatron & Waspinator set.

    I got it from the TFCC archive sale today.

    Aside from one or two packaged samples, it doesn't.
    Looks nice though.
