Your vote on my acquisition of the year ~~

[5FDP]

An easy vote - Goodbye Megatron giftset

(I suspect only Hursti will be that familiar with the blog! ).

Hey! I have your blog bookmarked

[heroic_decepticon]

strange, I have done a Poll for this but I can't seem to see the results....

I have chosen for my top 5 of your acquisition....
for me I go for the pretender lot in 1 go as #1 coz as much as it is rare to find Galaxy shuttle (2nd in line)- you had to do something to it to make it minty... too much work for something so expensive whereas the pretender lot may be something you do find every now and then but not in that complete all accessories goodness and ready to enjoy and lots of figures means lots of play!! And knowing your standards these pretenders would be quite minty looking as well, no paint chips on the shells ( most of em suffer from that) nothing broken or missing. Black zarak would be third in my list only as it's hard to find complete, unbroken and expensive as, but yeah after seeing rampagesss make his own, he's lost his charm for me- he can be easily "manufactured" (read:KO'd) now with less the GPS threat hehehe. 4th would be Dinoking giftset. Lastly would be Raiden

I like the reasoning you have behind your choices!

Gee I wonder which I voted for?

Which one? heh.

Yessir! You would have seen the barrage of new posts yesterday then...

PS: I have updated the link for Ravage & Rumble in the first post. The entry and write up can be seen here.

I have indeed read quite a bit of it and it's a thoroughly good read - you do excellent write-ups Heroic and the photos are exceptional, truly good reference pics that's for sure , mind you I only figured out how to post comments a couple of weeks ago though.

I don't know much about vintage pieces and I don't think I can truly appreciate how rare these items are having only started the journey of TFs. I won't vote due to my lacking in this department.

But hypothetically, IMO it has to be ravage/rumble or perceptor- and my thinking is that it is just rare to find MISB/MOSC of vintage stuff (assuming). I think those 2 items give me the most awe when I looked over them, considering their age, the fact they are sealed and the box/card is so pristine.

Also taking into account your personal story regarding the ravage/rumble- I think that's the pick I would go for.

I voted for Minelba/Shuta together. Individually rare pieces & centrepiece characters of perhaps the best G1 Transformers cartoon.

Thanks Hursti!

Thanks gdmetro! It is certainly difficult to find sealed G1 TFs nowadays since its almost 20 odd years after they have been released. I'd say that a sealed Ravage/Rumble is probably more difficult to find in good condition than a Perceptor.

I could have almost guessed that would be your vote!
