Hi all.
Just signed up and wanted to say a quick hello to everyone.
I have been into TFs since I first picked up (G1) Sideswipe in 1984. I used to have quite a nice collection, but in high school (being way too cool for kids toys) I gave nearly all of them away. Yes I regret this now.
(Casualties included G1 Mirage, Reflector, Blaster (plus steeljaw, eject, rewind), G1 Skywarp, Slugslinger (TM), Misfire (TM), Pointblank (TM), Shockwave, Kup, 1/2 Computron, (G1) Bruticus, to name a few).
Nowdays my collection is alot smaller. (Will post some photos in the appropriate thread later). Currently only about 40.
I am currently repainting my G1 Sideswipe. He was in pretty bad shape & I never had any plans to ever get rid of him. Will post b4 and after pics later.
While I'm here I have a few quick questions for anyone interested:
1. Why is it the universal standard to display your TF collection in robot mode? (Is this solely because they take up less space that way?)
2. Should I sell my G1 Bludgeon? (Pathetic toy & I dont much like it)
3. How long does a Repro labels order take to arrive?
4. If BW Injector is one of the greatest all time peg warmers, why can I not buy a complete one anywhere?
5. When we count our collections, are we allowed to include those that may or may not belong to our kids?
Look forward to snooping round the boards.
Cheers.
Some answers
1. Well yeah- they tend to take less space , hence more figures can be jammed in a shelf. Also you get to use/display their weapons which often gets left out when in Alt mode... but its really up to the owner as I display most of mine now in their alt mode ( mostly G1) as space would allow.
2. If you do I'd gladly take him off your hands hehehehehe. BUt seriously ... you might wanna reconsider! I for one AM DYING toget my hands on one. The toy itself is of less value if you dont particularly follow Bludgeons part in the TF lore (comics) His character has been focused on by Simon Furman from an obscure toy into a uber cool character, hence he is WORTH KEEPING in your collection...
3. AFAIK 2 weeks.... although Ive only had my order "ride" with someone elses... thats usually the case I hear from them, probably ask member Kup...
4. NOt sure, was he even released in mass quantities here? I couldn'nt answer this one as I am not much into BW... again ask the beasty boy/girl collectors here...
5. There is a universally, democratic counting system implemented for the members here of the board... but its in an old thread from the old board... better ask Goktimus Prime for a link ( im too lazy to find it , sorry) or better yet the officiality of your "case".
there hope that answers your question.... and If you still deceide to get rid of your Bludgeon , hope you give me first dibs hehehehe, seriously!!!!!!
