Yeah, I ordered mine while I was in Scotland for a year. Had it sent (along with my 2 other mail order guys..can't remember their names, but they were spring loaded cars..I think and an autobot watch) to my grandmother who then mailed them all to me in Scotland.

Damn, those were some fun days. I'm still Tivo-ing Transformers shows and have been buying the toys for my nephews and friend's kids.

However, no money to spend on toys with my BIG toy in the garage.

Everyone needs at least one AFA graded item on their shelf.

I'm looking to part with an AFA graded item. Any takers? h:

wait ... when they AFA grade a boxed reissue, they like to mount it opened so you can see the toy inside ... imagine your Prime box wide open .. .that's the size you'd have to pay for.

I'm guessing closer to $150 or $170 for it to be graded.

That's not right. Holy crap.

There's much worse than this dude. I'm trying to find the guy who had the entire 84-88 G1 series MISB C9 condition.


That guy's collection would be so much cooler if the room that it was all in wasn't a pit.

That guy would be a god. MISB TF collection of that age and condition is unheard of.

The guy who's collection you posted earlier...that guy has a problem. I was looking at the random mountain of stuff next to his computer...DVD sets, bubble alternators, GI-Joe, Anime, it's just too much. It looks like he can't step away from a Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, or specialty store without buying something.

I know we're all a bit nuts about our TF collections, but that guy with the "all over" collection, in a heap, molding away in the basement has a real problem.

It's not a collection at that point, it's a spider and vermin breeding ground.
