You guys can stop whining about being late starters, I was only born in '85!

I got my first figures of my own in '89, Breakdown and the Air Patrol Micomasters. Transformers were always on my want list, but I was more of TMNT kid, so I got those instead.

Then bought myself some Turbomasters and Predators in 1992, and they were the last figures I bought until a Uni mate of mine got me really interested in Transformers in 2002, and I started collecting in late 2003.
