Just a quick introduction...

Greetings and Welcome to OZformers!

I must say, that's a pretty concerted effort to of acquired all those figure by 1999 - Must've been one hell of a hard decision to part ways with them in the end.

Please do consider posting some pics of your collection here, as Verno has mentioned; We love to peruse other's collections.
Also like Verno, I too am very curious as to what the TF tie-in to your wedding was as one of our other members who recently tied the knot also employed a little TF love into his celebrations.

But now for the questions:

• Who's your favourite character?
• Who your preferred faction?

Thanks all for the welcome.

Was relatively easy... being in high school in the late 80's meant most of my friends had lost interest in their collections but they were still tucked away in boxes in their bedrooms. They were happy to part with them for a couple of dollars. The holes I managed to plug through and after uni via a second hand toy store here in Brisbane (though it was a bit pricier) - the owner took my want list and gave me a call when ever he tracked one down.

Getting rid of them wasn't that hard at the time due to other priorities - I regret it a little now. I think its the hunt I enjoy so I get to do that all over again.

There were 4 elements - not cake toppers (they were Lego!). I'll post pictures, once I get them sorted (along with my collection) but were essentially:

• WST Bumblebee included in my wife's homemade flower and button bouquet (one of the buttons was in the shape of a bumblebee which gave us the idea).
• My groom's party button holes were homemade flowers but with Kreons as the centres.
• Our gift table was marked by a 275% scale model of G1 Prime where his trailer was our card box.
• And my speech included reference to the cartoon and particular green and purple gestalt - I won't elaborate on that any further.

• Who's your favourite character?
• Who your preferred faction?

I can make a case for any number of characters depending on my mood but the first TF I remember enjoying as a distinct character was Gears - I still have a soft spot for the tough, grumpy little guy.

No real preference for faction but probably Autobot...

Getting up pics will be my goal for the coming weeks.

Wow - so you must still be in the honeymoon period then.

Gears is awesome.

Yeah, that does give away the timing a little... they were only just available here in time for the big day!

Gears is awesome.

...so's that picture! Sideswipe seems to be partaking in some Mr Miyagi styled training there on himself.
