The only Cybertrons I have are the “homage” figures. Downshift (Wheeljack), Smokescreen (Smokescreen), Excellion (Hot Rod), and Armorhide (I consider him Pipes or even Huffer).
I collect mainly G1. The Hasbro and Takara reissues, the Classic series, and a few exceptions like Universe Ruination (Bruticus repaint). Also the G1 and WW titaniums.
I think at this point, I qualify as “Batshit Insane”.
so I, uh, had an important meeting the other week. And I didnt feel I was properly psyched for it leading up to it, so the morning of the meeting I popped in “Code of Hero”
the rest…is silence
If you have a Galvatron Cybertron, I’ll gladly buy it off you.
I’m a casual collector as well. G1s, Alternators, MPs, and Classics.
I started collecting G1 again back in 97-98 and it wasn’t bad. Prices are crazy nowdays for vintage Transformers though. I recently started completing a G1 Scorponok and so far I’ve got over $200 in it and it still isn’t complete. At first I thought maybe it’s because I’m buying most of the parts individually, which is usually a bit more expensive, but after checking up on figures I bought a few years ago it seems like the prices have almost doubled.
I collect G1, MPs and Alts, and a few classics as well. But the ones I look for the most are the JPN exclusives and rare pieces.
I’m loving the 6" Titaniums more than anything else right now, even the Classics line. Speaking of which, it’s a shame that it is over already. They’re were so many others that deserved Classics treatment.
So angry.
I’m going to see the Movie when it’s out in July…I only have the Transformers Season 1 & 2 on DVD, Now Season 3 & 4 are too expensive
I hear ya, it cost me probably about $300 for all 5 sets, used!
I bought Season 1 & Season 2 Part 1 when it come out…I got lazy to get the rest, Now I regret it…$70 No thanks…
$70? Shit. I’m glad I got them all day 1.
I wanna collect Transformers too! =(
Bring lots o’ money then, Shade. It’s an expensive habit.
Me, I’m a casual collector only buying the things I see that I really want. G1’s are restricted to the main players with random others mixed in. I refuse to collect them all, that’s just insane. I wanted to have a complete collection of Alternators but that stopped at the point that Hasbro started repainting every single character like three times already. I passed on all of Beast Wars with exception of the Primal/Megatron TRU exclusive, I skipped all of RID except for Prime/Magnus (still one of my favorites ever), and the only thing I bought from Armada was Unicron.
I don’t care for Classics and don’t get me started on that shamble called Cybertron. What I’d like to start buying are the Takara reissues but they too damn expensive. Megatron cost me $90.00 and Starscream was $75.00, too much IMO but it was better then trying to get them on Ebay.
Hmm classics Jetfire in the re-run… well at least the toy was cool to begin with.
The Botcon sets are completely sold out.
this has NEVER happened before.
well, there goes any chance I might have of affording one.
oh well, I just want the seekers, anyway, and if I’m making good money (as I hope to be doing soon), I would still pay 70 bucks apiece for Thundercracker, Dirge, and Thrust.
still want the repainted MP 03 Screamer? Well look what I stumbled upon here

thats 80 bucks ON TOP of the figure. Better off doing it yourself for under 10 bucks. For 80 bucks you could have a whole other figure.
…and I wouldn’t trust Age3+ with my money anyway. People on other sites that I talk to regularly have had problems with ordering from them and not hearing from them for months or never receiving their items at all.
