Greetings all

Post by greatshot »

Hi all, greetings from the netherlands (yes Cliffjumper, you were correct 8) ).

Let me introduce myself, my name is robin. Been collecting again since 2004. General interest is g1 transformers and.. macross/robotech.

Started when I found my old transformers at the attick when I was moving out. So I had an display cabinet in my livingroom with a defensor, roadbuster and 2 terrocons.

Because this wasn't filling up the space.. slowly I started buying more on the local market. Joined 2 dutch transformers messageboards and then they poored in like crazy. Eventually looked outside the netherlands and started buying in the US, japan, asia etc etc. At this moment its unique when I find something of my interest locally..

Since about 1,5 year ago my interest switched to japanese g1 transformers. This year I was quite bussy on my victory collection, which grew fast (much 2 fast!). At the moment I am 2 dinoforce members short on completing my victory collection.

Other interest is the scf figures. I am missing 13 of them for completion.

Allready started on zone, and return of convoy toys. :shock:

My macross collection isn't that big, it's still growing but at a much slower rate. Mostly due to their huge pricetags (i know, sounds weird when you look 4 sentences back.. all about priority and budget). :wink:

Really dont know if its allowed, but here are some of the most recent pictures of my collection.

Good old times, 1 display cabinet

Then you buy a second, and a 3rd. And currently it's this big

sorry for the size of the pictures, they are big (just like joey the cat :lol: )

Joey the cat, last picture, under the table :lol:
A 5kg british Shorthair cat (looks alot like heatcliff) who sometimes fights with fortress. Fortress isn't that big of a warrior :P

They are :( , I cant fit all of my collection in the 3 cabinets.. A part of my collection is stored in boxes.

Currently I am designing a custom cabinet which can hold the big ones like brave and fortress. These cabinets arent for sale (dimmension wise), so I have to build that one by myself.

Anywayz, welcome to the boards, :wink:

And BTW, I introduced your character in the RPG as a Non-Playable Character that I would use from time to time, so let me know if u wanna participate in the RPG, so I won't use him, randomly, :P
