My best story would have been late last year when I struck up a conversation with my neighbour about Transformers. He had no idea that I collected them (despite it being fairly common knowledge in my street).

He said to me that he kept all of his childhood Transformers and they were all in a box in his garage.

Trying to hide my excitement, I asked if I could have a look at what he had. He came back with a large box and handed it to me. He said 'take whatever you want' (dangerous words).

When I opened the box it felt like Xmas 1985 all over again. Without going into all of the detail, the one toy that stood out the most was a G1 Reflector - complete, with all accessories, and in mint condition!

I ended up offering him some money to ease my conscious. Best day of my life - but don't tell the wife that
