Hi guys and gals, just found your forum while searching for some different transformers figures and what not the other night.
after a bit of a search through the info you have i thought i would join up and hopefully I can contribute and be a frequent member of your forum.

Now to the introduction i suppose......i am 28yo and from Adelaide and has been a huge fan of transformers since gen1. as a child my grandfather spoiled the hell out of me by taking me to kmart whenever i saw him to buy a new toy. Usually that would mean a new transformer but i loved most of the great toys from the 80s like heman, voltron, dinoriders and m.a.s.k but transformers were always my fave

Once I grew a little older I decided to sell off my very large collection of transformers to fund my new love......video games. this i am still kicking myself for but hey what can i do, im sure you guys have hundreds of the same stories haha.

Now to the present. i re-bought a gen1 optimus prime about 15 years ago and decided to start collecting optimus primes (along with all sorts of other non transformers figurines) I have roughly 20 optimus related figures/statues along with various other transformers ive found over the years. i haven't ventured too far into the Japanese convoy/optimus' but if i find something for the right price i will snap it up.

Although i would love to attempt to complete the whole gen1 series i think its a pipe dream because i have too many hobbies/collections to begin with as I'm heavily into comic books, arcade machines, vintage video game consoles not to mention other action figures and figurines.

if people are interested i will post up some pictures of my transformer collection along with my other figures and what not. just gotta find my camera.

anyway i think my introduction is long enough so i might sign out.

Cheers,
Osty
