I was planning to post this thread by the end of december, but I just couldn't find the time to do it. But it's better later than never ever, so here it is: How did your collection do the last year? What did you get from your want list, and what's missing yet? What the priorities - Transformers wise, I am aware that in real life we have bigger concerns! - are?
I'll show my most remarkable finds - I don't remember any year better than 2005 - again, Transformers wise!:
Apart from Megatron and Jetfire, Bumblejumper has to have been one of my most wanted and accomplished targets of 2005. This is a Brazilian isssue in white - I am aware of a blue, yellow and green versions ofthis model from Brazil; only one scratched from the list...
I went to get the extremes. First, I'll show this TRU Bluestreak - sorry, I don't buy the name "Silverstreak", as the oldtimer I am! -. I was very reluctanct to reissues, but this one, albeit recognized as the weakest adaptation, has good things. I just added metal foil to its face and set. The best it's the price you pay for a MIB figure - very convenient compared to a vintage Bluestreak in similar condition.
In the other side, I got this Diaclone Ironhide - pictured with a regular TF version - and I love it. I have to get the accesories, but that's a different story... And I like it the way it is by now.
And last, but not least, is this Cyclone by Gakken. It's the small one - I have already the red version and this week I'll be getting the blue one, but hey, that's already 2006.
For this year I expect to get more Autobot cars. I really hope TRU releases all of them, hence they will be more affordable, he he. Also, more former Microman figures - but I suppose a Reflector within my limits will have to wait.
So, come on. Show your most featured finds of the last year! And yes, also what are you looking for - you never know!
It works fine for me.
