Ummmm.... Take those 2. Buy 2 More. Then 2 More. Repeat that for roughly two years. And we'll be even... For G1. But then, I'm a nutter job.

20 YEARS LATER.... well, if you eat, sleep, and breathe transformers, you'll wind up like me. HUNDREDS of the damn things, and not a penny to your name

Welcome aboard Darkeagle. We're glad to have you. Check out the toy review section for collections. Trance's store here offers great transformers for sale and he is way more trustworthy than most ebay sellers. Good luck on your collection. My G1 is nearly complete as far as the us releases go.

Welcome to the forums! We've got a great group of people here and were all a little bit nuts when it comes to transformers.

@ Dark_Eagle52 - the members of TFL are mainly from the US and UK (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but there are members from all over the world; Australia, Belgium, Canada, Norway and Sweden to name a few.

You can always check Metro's completeness in TFL's own archive. Metroplex and all his accessories are pictured here!
