Milestones
Well with the acquisition of this special guy from jgon (thanks) about a week ago I've realised that I've reached a milestone and completed the goal of my collection for this year (which was stated in the 2007 wrap started by Griffin nearly a year ago).
That was to get all Tf's up to and including 1986. Although I am cheating in that I count my first (of two) Ruinations as Bruticus and I don't have mailaway Cardasher. But hell...close enough is good enough for me.

Congrats DD!! so whats next year goal then?
My Fort Max was more of an accomplishment (OMFG thanks again jgon!!!) and grail than a milestone as such.
2009 goal is to complete 1987. Sure I'm 22 years behind schedule but like my wife says of her cycle, 'better late than never'.Originally Posted by loophole
25 to go and looking optimistic from the start.

I have been after that guy!
Anyway after I got Fort Max and all the effort associated with him, no milestone has been able to match in significance.
Now I just collect and go after Holy grails. The latest Holy Grail for me is Carnivac.
Congratz on reaching you milestone BTW

My G1 1984-86 collection is only complete in terms of cartoon characters.
My main priority from this era would be the Deluxe Insecticons. Second priority from that would be the Mini-Spies. I'd like to get Time Warrior but I doubt I'd ever find it for a price that I'd be willing to pay(so I'll have to work on convincing griffin to give me his
<jedi.mind.trick>).
Other stuff from that era that I don't have but are low priority for me would be:
+ Mini-Spies
+ My First Transformer (car)
...and there's some other stuff from that era that I don't really care about, like Latin-American Transformers, Tyco cars etc. Meh.
My current holy grail is finding an Animated Blitzwing that doesn't have either a busted wing-peg or brittle canopy tabs. I'm on my fourth Animated Blitzwing toy so far after refunding/exchange 3 previous ones because of those defects.

I've hit my 2008 milestone goal of The Games of Deception box set.
May 2009 bring me LioKaiser!

Excellent Mr Digger. May we all celebrate by you gifting me with a galaxy commander.
Or sell me one in exchange for a secret of the lego-universe.
As long as my current financial situation continues, may 2009 bring me G1 shockwave and predaking.

Even a non-busted one isn't worth the effort you've been going to!My current holy grail is finding an Animated Blitzwing that doesn't have either a busted wing-peg or brittle canopy tabs.

I agree... if this one turns out to have weak canopy tabs then I effing give up. I'll just never transform it fully into tank mode. *massively.deep.sigh* (-_-)

I have a song stuck in my head by an Artist called Nelly.
"Its getting hot in here! So take take of all your...."
Milestones, mine are quite lame actually. I just wanted the 3 MP Seekers this year. I did achieve one of every alternator mold however, thanks to dirge. (I nabbed his Nemesis Prime, Roller has taken it hostage, *sigh* hehe)
I haven't tried to collect G1 because the price for me would be prohibitive, and my g1 collection is really small so my starting point is really low. I just collect vicariously thru you guys!
MEGATRON Without PRIME is like Bacon without Eggs.
