The Elite
Who are your favourite toys? By this, I don't mean the ones you hold in high esteem. I'm talking about the ones that you constantly leave out to fiddle with, the one that always gets played with that little bit more than the rest. So that excludes childhood favourites/character preference. For instance, I love G1 Sunstreaker, Bludgeon, Thunderwing and Sideswipe but I sure as hell rarely even play with them. They're no fun.
My elite are:
- Classics Skyfire: (whatta surprise, huh?):
- TFM Voyager Ironhide
- Galaxy Force/Cybertron Evac
- Galaxy Force Autovolt/Cybertron Crosswise
- Animated Cybertron Optimus Prime
- TFM Longarm
- Henkei Optimus Prime
- Botcon 2008 Starscream
- Superlink Bruticus Maximus
- Henkei Megatron
- Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus
Of the lot, Classics Skyfire is bloody killing me. He's over at lcz128's joint for an upgrade and I haven't been able to play with him in a few days. Seriously contemplating grabbing one of my spares and opening him! The other one I love to bits if Bruticus Maximus. Great mold, great gestalt. Friggin' awesome toy.
I should mention what started this thread too. Per nigglin' from Demonac at our hunt one week ago, I was hassled about how many doubles I had. I started working through the list to get an idea of how many doubles I had. And then I started noticing a trend: the vast majority of toys I had multiples of were among my favourite toys to play with.
Sure, there were the odd exceptions like G1 stuff that came in different packaging/quality but most of the new MISB stuff I have are of now what I term "the elite" of my collection.
Oh and in case anyone's curious about my extras count:
- TFM Longarm (x4)
- Classics Skyfire (x5)
- TFM Ironhide (x4)
- Classics Prime (x2)
- Botcon 2008 Starscream (x2) : (when the spare arrives)
- Galaxy Force/Cybertron Evac (x3)
- Galaxy Force Autovolt/Cybertron Crosswise (x2)
- Animated Cybertron Optimus Prime (x2)
- Henkei Optimus Prime (x2)
- Henkei Megatron (x2)
- All Henkei's to date: Mirage, BB, Starscream, Grimlock (x2)
- Classics Grimlock (x3)
- Alternators Hot Rod (x2)
- BT-08 Meister (x2)
- TFM Landmine (x2)
- TFM Bumblebee Camaro 2008 (x3)
- TFM Leader Optimus Prime (x2)
- TFM Voyager Ratchet (x2)
- One spare set of all G1 Minibots
- x20 G1 toys including cassettes and first and second year cars or new packaging (Encore/TFC/Hasbro Commemorative etc (too lazy too list)
That total brings my double count to 66 if we count the first as a unique figure and only count the others as doubles. The only ones I don't have of the Elite that I feel compelled to find one of now are Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus and Bruticus Maximus. Spares of those would be lovely. (
