Over the weekend I won 2 auctions.
1. Beast Wars Grimlock with Backing Card
2. Beast Wars Video Repaint Razorclaw with Backing Card
When these items arrive in the next fortnight, I'll have finished collecting Beast Wars figures.
I'll have them all, with packaging, and 100% complete.
None of the Fox Kids junk or the Mutants of course, who would want them. But all the normal run figures.
It's been a hell of a ride.
However, I thought I'd reached this point before. Back in the day, I only sought out the 30 character figures from the show. But once I reached that goal, I was saddened by the fact that I'd never actually seen all of the figures, even in my days of trading and selling. Figures like Bonecrusher, Manterror, Transquito, all the ones I'd avoided I ended up seeking out and now own and am proud to do so. I even dabbled in some of the Japanese stuff, outside of an X-9 Ravage.
So am I really done? Will any of us really ever be done?
I look at the Henkei versions of Cheetor and Dinobot and think 'maybe one day'. My decision would be spurred on of course if a voyager size Rhinox is released in the same line. But after those 3, would I be done again?
I look at my HH Rhinox statue and am sad that it's the only one of its line to be released. Will someone have the balls to release a set of statues like it? I sure hope so.
I have no doubt that I will still stalk eBay religiously, I've been doing it for too long to stop, it's just a force of habit, but what I'll be looking for exactly is beyond me.
Just thought I'd share some thoughts.
