ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[SurlyJ]

You're in a Transformers thread! You can't expect support here for your decision to sell Transformers. Talk about it in a HT Marvel thread and you'll see the opposite reaction

Lol, I know. But hey, it's only all happening because I want the ultimate optimus prime!!

Not Toy related but I had these arrive today...



I won them both on Ebay for less than new & neither have been touched.
I was bidding on Volume 1 of the IDW Collection as well but that finished at more than I can buy it for on Amazon so was glad I didn't get that.

Now to start getting the rest

It's always nice to get a decent result on ebay.

My G2 Sideswipes arrived from Kapow today....with coins!

I wasn't expecting that as Tigertrack didn't have one so it was a nice suprise.

I haven't transformed either of them yet but the Lamborghini looks soooo nice in black and the weapons are nicely done, the sword can be held by the Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon which is an awesome bonus

EDIT
I've now transformed one and I think the new face sculpt and the spiky shoulder wheels of doom really make him stand out, looking at the G2 artwork he should also have a bandolier so there's room for a 3rd party company do that.

The handle on the gun with the check pattern on it is a bit too chunky so you can't close the hand all the way without it untabbing but it's still possible to get him holding it OK. The other gun and the sword fit in his hands very well.

It's also possible to clip the two guns together to form a supergun and I've currently got mine displayed like that with the sword in the other hand.

After 4 uses the mold seems to be holding up well, all the joints are OK and there's no paint issues to speak of.

Overall I'm satisfied and I would be open to getting further G2 variants if they happened.

Picked up my TFs last night and was going to remove them from the shelves to get used to having them, but as soon as I touched them, I didn't want to get rid of them lol. I rearranged them a bit and will marinate on keeping them or not a while longer. Still going to get that Ultimetal for sure, but just may have to fund it some other way... Probably partially with those marvel subcast statues which I've been keen to dump for a while... Really just like the wolverine.

That goaliebot looks cool! You've got a great collection of the main MP's that I'd honestly keep. They can easily compliment the centerpiece Ultimetal Prime if you are still keen on getting him. Maybe sell off the 2 Feral Preds if you're not going to complete them.

I just looked up the Ultimetal Prime and man that thing is a beast!! $800-$1000 is a lot of cash, but the 2 bottom TF shelves could probably fund that bad boy if you needed to.

I'm happy to see plans for more Dinobots! Scoria looks great and Slag was my favorite Dinobot so he's a must-buy. I'm planning on getting Grimlock--i just don't know which version to get. I held off getting him because I didn't want to start another collection if it wouldn't be a complete set. With all the new pics and teasers coming out it looks like I don't have to worry anymore. I'm planning on displaying the masterpiece figures in robot mode with their WST versions in dinosaur mode.

Thanks! A great customizer from tfw2005 did the goalie bot for me for a very reasonable price. He worked on it for nearly a year, on and off, and we went back on both on design for months. Really happy with how it came out. Turns into a zamboni, but I'm terrified to transform him and never have!

I found an Ultimetal optimus for $830 shipped, and I tallied up the average price for my TF collection and without counting the goalie bot (which I have no idea how much it would sell for... Probably a lot, I doubt there is another goalie transformer in the world lol), and those 3 shelves are worth about 1500 give or take 100. The bottom two shelves would easily fund it and i might do that because I go back and forth on Rex. I don't think i could sell giant though. Really love him.

 

[SurlyJ]

This guy really is awesome. Crude, but amazing. The rough style really works for it I think.

I think it's best that you keep the stuff that you have an attachment to. As much as I love all the MP's that I've collected so far (with the exception of Rodimus of course), there would be 2 that I would absolutely never sell off. The MP01 and MP05. They are totally outdated compared to the recent MP's for sure. But MP01 got me back into the collecting game. And that moment of finally having both G1 Optimus and Megatron on the same shelf brought out the kid in me.

If they announce an Ultimetal Megatron before an official MP, TFW is probably gonna go nuts.

Oh wow, the Stanley Cup actually lights up! Very cool custom! I think saw someone made a Toronto Maple Leaf goaliebot as well, but this one looks way cooler. The crude styling makes it look like it has seen its fair share of rubber, especially on the pads.

Oh cool, I'll have to look for this Maple Leafs custom.

Yeah, I asked the guy to make the pads look like they had seen a lot of pucks and hits. Gave him images of the glass when pucks hit it to go off.

The LED in the Cup he just added on his own because he is awesome and felt like it.

I wanted something to protect and also display the collector cards for the MP Transformers, and found out about the Ultra Pro magnetic card holders! They are bloody AWESOME!!! I bought the 55pt thickness ones, and they fit great (I think the 35pt would be good enough though). Love how they look in them, and now I can look at them without worrying about damage!

 

[Hydeous]

Looks great!

But mine will prolly just stay inside the box as I have limited space on my display and right now Im starting to ran out of room. Never thought Id have such problem.

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Yeah!!!! First teaser pic for MP-21 Bumblebee finally released on Shogo Hasui's twitter feed!!! Cant wait to see more!!!

 

[karamazov80]

Awesome. Very excited about that one.

 

[thecorsair]

koolkollectibleskhai,
They look decent. I may have to look into getting some of those card holders myself.

Based on that teaser MP Bumblebee looks good, no real suprise considering it was Shogo Hasui who designed it.

 

[DPrime]

Good ones to keep! Those T-800s will probably also be two of the very last HT figures I ever consider getting rid of.

Yeah, they would be very nice one-off pieces in any collection, even if you didn't have any other 12" figures at all!

So yeah... 'Bee silhouette looks good.

So it's a buy, then?
