Looks like we're on a collision course with destiny!
And u know what's worse? Ever since Griffsterooney's banner about 25 years, I've been thinking about all the ways I can try and celebrate the 25th anniversary.
One idea I had was to go and buy 25 toys that are my favourite 25 toys again and then set aside a display for them to call it my 25th Anniversary display.
(And no, I'm not trying to find more excuses to buy duplicates!)
Well, maybe...

Actually I gotta give a bit of credit to the egomaniac, STL. When I started collecting again in late '07, I only intended to get movie cast, but I saw a Classics Jetfire and thought it was rare so grabbed it thinking someone here would want it. STL convinced me to keep it and open it. I've had a [non-sexual] crush on Classics Jetfire since.![]()
you can blame Bartrim and Dirge for inspiring me to join these boards, direct your feedback to them.

I have also been inspired to do things from this board both directly and indirectly but when it comes to being inspired at matching someone else's collection count? Never.
I will never reach the same amount as Griffin's even if I suddently win 50 million dollars. I am not interested in collecting every toy from every line while Griffin collects all. We are different types of collectors with different goals and viewpoints.
Hehehe dunno if it's a good or bad thing.. but to:
- Icy(Bro) for making me a mostly MISB Collector!
- STL for making me buy doubles! Just the extra one to open!
- theDamned for "teaching" me how to stick TFs on the wall!
- JayDisc for making me crave Botcon Games of Deception Set and now other Botcon sets as well (or maybe I was just trying to use him as an excuse.)

My son is taking over all my TFs!![]()
i've got to thank to the regular post of acquisitions and especially collection pics of fans that made me buy what i mostly have today especially when i had no urge to even get Star Wars or even Marvel Transformers... followed by other merchandises
Got to also thank most Melbourne fans here (jay, STL, Demonac, TheDirtyDigger, Paulbot, JuzMel, lhec, blackie, Golden Phoenix) for being great buddies, not forgetting people from other states like (liegeprime, kup, dirge, griffin and Kyle) too for helping me acquire some of my most precious collections.
Lastly, i was also inspired by my childhood friend (Max) whom i guess have stopped collecting TFs due to a change of hobby and love for his car in Singapore more than anything.
Yeah, some good reminders here.
A tip of my hat (or a wag of my finger) to The Damned, Iceburn, Mel and Heroic for giving me my appreciation of packaging.
Also, similar to Mel, I thank Dirge for my motivation to acquire Games of Deception and my future desire to own LioKaiser
And to Tober for revealing to me the Japanese Dino cassettes.
