    Default What's ONE collecting tip you would give to your young self?

    If you could send just ONE message back to yourself when you first started collecting Transformers as a child, what would that message be?

    Mine would be to treat my toys like vampires and keep them away from sunlight.

    Don't waste money on crap like the Bayverse lines. I remember when the first movie toy line came out in '07, I got "over-excited" & bought one of each character. A few years later, I asked myself "Why did I buy all these hideous things?" & ended up donating them all to charity.

    From 2021 me to 1984 me: "Don't fret too much. One day they will make Transformer toys that look and move just like the characters on your favourite TV show."

    Have a defined focus on what you are collecting. It's no good going after everything you like the look of. If you do that you will soon run out of space and have more in storage than on shelves.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
