Still deciding, but it will definitely be the hard heroes and G2 stuff. Not all of G2 just a few pieces. There are always the statues and stuff and the books.

I guess the old saying is true.....


IT NEVER ENDS!

Exactly how many is that Commander, I only ask because Derrick is trying to do the same and, with all that lot, he must be somewhere near.

I have to agree with Goldbug on this one. I thought I was only going to collect the ones I wanted. Turns out the ones I wanted are still rolling in taking complete control of my room and beyond.

Tell me about it Dinobot! Mine are housed in our enclosed car garage, b/c there is no room in the house for them. The only thing I don't like about them in the garage is their exposure to heat during the summer and cold in the winter!

During the summer, I keep the garage door cracked and the back door from the garage to the backyard propped open to keep a breeze going to cool down the garage. I've even been known to run fans on the cases to cool them down!

you're in texas, so i believe the heat, but how cold can it really get there?

Well, I dont know how cold it gets where Sentinel is, but since our states border each other, Oklahoma has reached -19 degrees before. Thats without the wind chill, which drops it way farther. I think last year we had a few days in the -24 degree area. The wind really sucks in the winter.

Do you have all of them Sentinel?

Yes CM! I even have some varient colors of the G1 mini cars like Cliffjumper and and Bumblebee. The U.S. G1 collection was my very first priority as I started my collection of them back in 1984-1987.

As for the winter weather...I agree with Dinobot. The wind is the main ingredient for our colder temps. :wink:

I did get him for $150, which was alot less than I expected to pay. This means I have all the U.S. G1 transformers! Only need a bout 10 accessories to complete them but the bots are all there. I will get pics up once Scourge gets here!!!
I got a sealed TM Scourge a few years ago for a little more than you paid. I still have him.
