Your vote on my acquisition of the year ~~

[heroic_decepticon]

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.

Thanks Hursti!

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.

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

I could have almost guessed that would be your vote!

I'm not really into all of those Japanese Tf's cause i have never seen many of them before and therefore they have no sentimental value to me, but that Browning is absolutely beautiful. I just read your blog page on him and was just wondering if you have a robot mode piccy available (preferably next to Megatron).
Anyway to answer the post, Browning is my choice. That piece is just stunning.

Browning was a hard one to find, but I got help from a fellow member here.

I can arrange for pics of Browning, but it'd be next to "Goodbye" version of Megatron cos I don't have my other G1 Megatrons here with me in HK.

It's really not all too surprising that the Japanese stuff got the highest amount of votes but I'm glad to see that Ravage and Rumble made the top 3 here anyway.
Looking forward to your 2010 end of year write-up dude.
