I have no doubt there are bigger collections out there, but given the reactions I’m not surprised they keep them private.
OR maybe Transformer fans generally stop counting their collections after a while, because there's no point, and it's just a pain in the butt having to keep track of everything we have.

Thing about Transformers (to me at least), is that it's not a competition about who collects the most toys. That's not what Transformers is about. People buy Transformers because they like the look and feel of the toys, their engineering, and the characters they represent. I don't think I've ever met a Transformers fan who set out to have the biggest collection by buying a trolley full of bad toys they don't like, just for the sake of growing the collection.

I think most fans buy Transformers because they want to experience something fun and different, not just for the sake of having. That's why toy reviews exist. If Transformers was about achieving quantity over quality, we'd be indiscriminately buying more bad toys without questioning their quality.

Just my 2 cents on the matter.
