I'd uncover the display and sit and stare. That phase didn't last long enough. Now I admire loose toys on various home surfaces because I have so many damn Animated and Valks!<br /><br />All the best<br />MazMazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887074236416592668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-46920121632605577182014-07-24T10:19:52.000+01:002014-07-24T10:19:52.000+01:00i think for me, i am enjoying the hobby a lot more...i think for me, i am enjoying the hobby a lot more now that 90% of the core G1 pieces are on display loose (and some boxed). Often times, i just sit in a comfy chair, sip some coffee and stare at the TFs. i don't even touch them much. <br /><br />Makes the hobby all worth it.<br /><br />(and then I write a bit in my spare time, haha)Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-20620465022399926942014-07-24T01:13:23.646+01:002014-07-24T01:13:23.646+01:00Haha one true plastic love, I should clarify :D An...Haha one true plastic love, I should clarify :D And anyway, they pre date her by 2 years at least!<br /><br />Yes agreed, there's too much product and too much fandom, it's very rare that we can sit down and reflect and take stock.

Love the reminiscing. Sometimes, I think that we are collectors do too little of that (and think too little about the future direction of the collection)... such that when there is doubt, just buy everything!Evil Autobothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01201308619800105567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-59550183393734262482014-06-06T10:42:36.434+01:002014-06-06T10:42:36.434+01:00Oh hehe nice touch with Bumblebee, then.
No mate...Oh hehe nice touch with Bumblebee, then. <br /><br />No mate, that's MOST of my collection in those 2 cabinets. The only things not in there right now are my Binaltech, childhood G1, reissue Valkyries and the Animated toys that just arrived.<br /><br />The minibots I have you can see in that first picture. The carded Ceji Joustra DIaclone ones bottom left and the Spanish KOs in the right cabinet. I have one yellow Mexican "Tailgate" too. I've written about a lot of minis, but I've never considered myself a minibot collector, they almost always get sold.<br /><br />All the best<br />MazMazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887074236416592668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-86405337017817097512014-06-03T14:23:59.605+01:002014-06-03T14:23:59.605+01:00haha you noticed the gold Takara Bumbeblee, why wo...haha you noticed the gold Takara Bumbeblee, why wouldn't I use the Hasbro version? it would blend in better with the surrounding Hasbro toys, I wanted to show the irony of Captain Funzone having a nice clean sparkling new car. Notice him admiring it, since in the cartoon it was a running gag that his vehicle was totaled so many times<br /><br />you mean part of your collection right?, do you write in your ebay listings, 'Transformer comes from a smoke-free, pet free home but toy has been kept in infant daughters playroom' :)<br /><br />Also it would be big news on the internet if you got a new detolf haha :), also what mini-bots do you have these days, dont see you displaying them.burntrollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174456773151895960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-91087787263312422852014-06-03T13:30:35.644+01:002014-06-03T13:30:35.644+01:00Oh I certainly didnlt think you were making light ...Oh I certainly didnlt think you were making light of it, was just saying it's far more fun to read about it than live through it :D<br /><br />For Animated, I have a disgustingly sickening feeling that i get at the start of every new adventure. Full Metal Completist. And I really don't want that, having like 5 different Voyager primes is completely not the way I want to go. So I will aim for one of each character, but getting all class versions, settling for the variant I like the best in each character/class.<br /><br />TFCC Slipstream, I think i would not be able to pass that off as Animated personally. The best part about the clones is that they are virtually identical :)<br /><br />You do know my collection is housed in my daughter's playroom, right? Haha sneezing and farting is the least of my collection's concerns!<br /><br />That is an astoundingly nice display of Animated you have there...very impressive. I see a Takara BB in there!<br /><br />All the best<br />MazMazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887074236416592668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-50384072677472488092014-06-02T13:17:36.961+01:002014-06-02T13:17:36.961+01:00I don't mean to joke or make light about you s... I don't mean to joke or make light about you selling nice items from your collection, I meant to say I enjoyed those post because there was always something you could relate too as a collector, also it gave you an opportunity to share something I wasn't familiar with.<br /><br />Im interested to see what items you will add to your animated collection. At one point I was buying everything Animated , legends and activators due to frequent discounts at the chain stores. Eventually I culled the collection down to save on space but it was important to me to encompass all different types of toys into that collection. I dont mean to show-off but here is my old display https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicelybaked/5410281978/sizes/l<br /><br />I skipped on the Starscream clones, Takara Hydro-drive BB and Wingblade Optimus, I felt I could do without them. I think about purchasing them sometimes but its not necessary. What do you think of TFCC Slipstream, I am still undecided on whether if its really an Animated toy.. Also consider the Bumper Battler, the sound quality and voice lines are awesome. Also thinking about it I don't know what production samples I would acquire if given the chance, If I choose one it would have to be Voyager Starscream as that character model was inspired by Macross.<br /><br />Reading all the things you would like to purchase is crazy, I would hate to sneeze or pass gas in a room filled with all those toys.<br />burntrollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174456773151895960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-70851604993117233842014-06-02T11:31:01.105+01:002014-06-02T11:31:01.105+01:00Animated is completely wonderful, and I find mysel...Animated is completely wonderful, and I find myself concentrating entirely on it now, and it really helps that sealed figures can be had for less than £10 in the case of deluxes and Activators.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words, I can;t say it makes for as pleasurable writing when I speak about what I've sold, it;s a reminder that I wasn;t able to find an alternative solution to whatever crisis was unfolding at the time in order to be able to keep everything I've had. Had I never sold anything, I could be so much more proud of the collection I'd have today instead of all the nice things I helped add to others' collections that weren't gifts!<br /><br />Busty beauties, can't say I came across any of them in my collecting, but demons I could write a book on ;)<br /><br />Bromances are mandatory for any who post comments on this blog. Consider yourself bromanced.<br /><br />All the best<br />MazMazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887074236416592668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-59560343511019475502014-06-02T08:44:26.943+01:002014-06-02T08:44:26.943+01:00I have to hand it to TF Animated I owe it for maki...I have to hand it to TF Animated I owe it for making me the TF collector that I am today, that was brought on by the TF movies which I also enjoyed. Its great someone with your depth of knowledge can appreciate the many facades of the TF universe. If only Beast Wars got some love from you haha.<br /><br />You been a great influence Maz, when you reminisce and write about toys no longer in your collection, it makes for great reading :D. Wouldn't be fun if you never sold anything :) . I too have embarked on a dream, at the end hopefully there will be treasure, there will be many demons to fights along the way, hardships I will need muster inner strength for, I will encounter many busty beauties but I know the journey is more important than the end. I think putting too much effort in achieving everything is wasted energy, but I know you have your priorities sorted. <br /><br />"Good things come to those who want them for the right reason"-anon, and I cant wait for new discoveries and sharing this journey with you through your blog and website. Haha this sounds too much like a bromance....<br />burntrollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174456773151895960noreply@blogger.com
