BREAKING NEWS!!! a shelf holding the vast majority of my collection gave way today. it is a sad, sad day for the world of transformer collecting. early indications are that there were no fatalities or serious injury but it is yet unknown as to whether there were any minor scratches, cuts, bruises to any of the unlucky robots involved in this tragedy. The load on the shelf is not thought to be a factor as it is advertised to be able to carry 200lbs. Blame is being placed on the incompetentcy of the erector of said shelf for using wood screws that were not long enough in drywall. more on this story later on

UPDATE: i am in possesion of a list of recorded injuries sustained during the reccent shelf collapsage.
Movie Jazz box, corner slightly bent
Starscream protoform box corner slightly bent
Ramjet classic delux left leg joint loose
Jetfire classic delux both back armor guntips stressed slightly
considering the number of robots involved in the accident, approximately 25, i am suprised and somewhat fortunate that the casualty list has been kept to a minimum. 5 G1 robots inc. two insecticons were involved and escaped shaken up but unharmed. Everyone that suffered injuries are easily bought again for regular prices cause local stores still have them.
one word....PHEW!!!

i think im gonna buy a shelving unit that stands by itself rather than risk a hanging shelf again.
my apartment is above a vet hospital where my wife works and as soon as it happened she phoned up cause she heard a huge crash...she knew what it was straight away.
i got lucky

Long haul did commander. He is the only constructicon that can't build anything.

It must have been. He should have left it to scrapper or Hook. Tho Hook would probably take forever.
