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.Originally Posted by jaydisc

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.

I have actually paused my G1 collection. The poor exchange rate has made many figures cost prohibitive specially when they are 'regular' G1s and not heavy hitters. I still need a few accessories but the exchange rate has also hurt that as I would be paying the cost of a retail deluxe to import just a small gun.

I was fortunate to achieved many of my 'Milestones' while the dollar was high and that was getting the expensive figures such as Fort Max, Scorponok, Trypticon and others. In that I count myself very fortunate.
Now I am concentrating on the newer releases which are not as cost prohibitive as G1 such as Universe and Henkei. Masterpieces are not exactly 'cost friendly' but because they are a single spaced out releases, they happen to be more manageable than the randomness of finding G1s on Ebay.

My milestone for this year was achieved when I finally got hold of a complete in box Metalhawk, I was like a kid at Xmas when this one showed up in the mail

Metalhawk? Awesome!My milestone for this year was achieved when I finally got hold of a complete in box Metalhawk, I was like a kid at Xmas when this one showed up in the mail
I have been wanting one since I saw Dirge's but I am not sure if its worth it given that I have other G1 figures to get. Its certainly the best Pretender released in G1.
