the trailer is hot, but you're right .. the cab looks like doody. For a mere 5 inches tall, this dude is super detailed. For $45, I'm getting one without a doubt.

I really need to get one of those mini Galaxy Convoys sometime. :thinking:

Since I'm running out of room, I need to do something about it. Here are my options:

A. Sell off some TF's (doubles, etc.)
B. Sell off some other toys making room for more TF's
C. Keep buying toys and not worry about the space issue.
D. Empty out my wife's cabinet for her collectibles and put my stuff in it.

I'm having the exact same problem. My closet is full, my shelves are jammed, and stuff is now sitting on the floor. I stacked everything I know that won't warp (alternators), energon stuff, but others ... I can't (long box reissues)

I was thinking about heading to Ikea and looking for wall mounted shelves. If I can run a shelf close to the top of my wall, the length of a wall ... I can put bookstyle reissues on it.

In your case, I'd look into doing something like Monk has. Sure it'll cost a bit, but it is a solution. Selling doubles won't get you very far ... selling other toys is good, only if you don't like them anymore. :happysad:

What doubles do you have? I know I have doubles you're looking for...maybe we can trade.

I vote for option C. Option D would be good, but then she'd kill you.

we're at

3 Vipers: Sideswipe, Dead End, Sunstreaker
3 Jeeps: Hound, Swindle, Rollbar

at least put a different f'ing head on it. Why not make Ricochet an RX-8? In G1, he's a repaint of Jazz anyways.
agreed.. it's a bit much. makes me reconsider my original thought to stick with only the G1s. :hs:

My solution doesn't last long if you keep collecting. You'll just run out of space again on your shelves.

I think your best bet would be to have a Christmas blow out and give away your collection to the good folks in this thread
