    Its funny, I thought I got over it a long time ago, yet it still seems I didn't. Its true that you never get over your first love. But I suppose it could down to the fact that she never really apologised for what happened, and I never forgave her. I don't particularly care much anymore. At least I have some fuel for the fire that is my lyrical inspiration

    I think it would be the kind of thing where if you didn't have anything or hardly any you'd come home and be like "don't you just sometimes wish you had something there to fill the space"

    WTF?!?

    I am getting to the homestretch when it comes to finishing my G1 collection but it seems that the figures which I thought would be the easiest (cost wise) are turning out to be the more dear!

    I have pretty much all the toys that have appeared in fiction (comics and cartoons) which I thought would have the most demand such as the Geewhuns, Bludgeon, Thunderwing, Dreadwind&Darkwing, etc and as a result, I went for them first BUT it seems that teh more character obscure stuff is turning out to be much more expensive to get!!

    Why do people need to snipe stuff like the Micromaster Anti Aircraft set with over US$100? and why is Vroom get sniped wth US$140? Why do people want these toys at such high prices when many haven't even appeared in fiction and they are not that rare since they keep appearing on ebay and going for the same outrageous prices.

    These toys are what supposedly "Ruined Transformers Forever TM" as in Pretenders, Micromasters and Action Masters so why the high demand and ourageously high snipes on such obscure characters?!?!

    /Rant

    Feel better now

    Vroom has always been expensive (for at least a decade anyway) - he's hard to find complete and seemingly not produced in large numbers to begin with. I think there are two factors at play and it's actually related to the fact that they "rooined" Transformers "foreffer!!!"

    1.) In later years of G1, individual Transformers were produced in much lower numbers than those from 1984-1986 because the line was less popular and they were selling so many fewer units.
    2.) Geewun! fans have finished their 1984-1987 collections by now and so they have to start buying the very toys they've spent years disdaining.

    You'll get those toys eventually, Kup - good luck!

    I've pretty much given up on Ebay altogether as the recent popularity of Transformers has driven asking prices through the roof.

    I'm fortunate though as I am not a 'completionist' in the true sense of the word e.g. attempt to complete various lines and / or series. To me, my collection is complete as there are very few figures out there, if any, that I still want (not including future releases like Animated Arcee). Sure, there's a couple that I would like to have, but they are waaay out of my price range and I need to be realistic in that I have bills to pay and a family to look after.

    My target was to have all the ones I needed (yes, that's right... 'needed' not wanted ) by the end of 2009. With the high prices of today, I feel sorry for the true fan that has been collecting for years and is unable to reach their level of completion.
