Boy, that escalated quickly

Welcome Kitty. Great to read the enthusiasm in your posts. Reads like a kid in a candy store.

Keep an eye on the sales board if you decide to try and fill out your collection from the back catalogue. There are often some great bargains.

Welcome to the plastic crack addiction

Oh this is nothing, I collect Lego. And before that action figures (up to and including fancy stuff like Hot Toys) and before that Warhammer 40k. Honestly the fact that I'm limiting the Transformers to Siege-but-only-the-ones-I-remember-from-the-cartoon-but-not-the-movie-or-season-three is so much progress.

What Lego themes were you collecting?

Fun story about that, it's not just a Buffy reference (I mean Tara's my personal deity, but not only that) - back at uni (USyd) a bunch of us used to go down to the nearest gamer cafe every Friday for a couple of hours of Medal of Honour (I think? Many WWII FPSes have come and gone since then, but I think that was the one at the time), and we were always in the French town map and I'd always pick the female resistance fighter as my character. Since MKF had that exciting bit involving the French Resistance in her backstory (that got skipped over) that's what I always named her, and Miss Kitty Fantastico has been my default game/forum/anything online name ever since.

(I did find Aimless BTW - Kings only had Blowpipe, but Hobbyco had some. Godzilla was a lot of fun.)

But then you're missing out on the fantastic Skytread (Flywheels), the best Siege figure so far.

At the moment Star Wars, Marvel/DC, Minecraft, Harry Potter, and Skylines are the ongoing ones, but there's bits and pieces of pretty much everything from 2007 onwards; the 80s stuff from childhood isn't assembled, but it's all there in the storage units, along with dismantled newer sets I've decided not to keep on display, for when I need parts to work on something. I can't list it all, we'd be here for days: highlights include Voltron, Death Star 10188, Destiny's Bounty (the movie one) and the Temple of Airjitsu, Emerald Night, the Simpsons house, Medieval Village, Imperial Flagship, Helicarrier, the Executor, WALL-E, both Ecto-1s, most of Middle Earth, the Sea Cow, and a MOC I believe is unique in the world as the only Lego Buffy the Vampire Slayer Star Wars model, Tara's hotrod Y-Wing. Literally a room full.

But then you're missing out on the fantastic Skytread (Flywheels), the best Siege figure so far.

I was tempted for a moment, owing to him being in 'City of Fear', but I never had his toy anyway. There are a couple of post-stuck-in-the-desert-in-the-80s bots I'll be getting since I did have their original toys - Mindwipe for instance, and Misfire and Aimless (I'm planning to swing by Kings Comics after work, on the way to Godzilla, to see if they still have Aimless's Siege pack), and Cloudburst, probably a few more I'll remember when I see them.

Yep, inner child still going strong. Kind of sidelines my outer adult most of the time.

I'm probably not going to be going back in time in a big way - I'm happy I've still got my Slag (there's a few other odds and ends from the intervening years in storage boxes, I must fish them out and make a headcount sometime) but I don't know that having the others again would really give me anything I'm not getting from the Siege boys and girls.
