Survivors – Part 2
Landfill (present) and Air Raid (The only TF that shop in Cyprus had that year)
“What we do in life echoes in eternity” – a great line from a great film. While “What we experience in childhood echoes through adulthood” is a slightly less profound quote, especially when measured in the context of toy collecting, it is still a huge part …

Even More News To Me
A tremendous mistake
The passage of time continues to bring us brand new discoveries in the vintage world of Transformers and pre-Transformers collecting. We’re nearing the 30 year anniversary of the first release of The Transformers, and we’ve already surpassed that mark for Diaclone and Micro Change, and despite those milestones this amazing hobby and area of toy collecting still present gems, gifts, mysteries and …

Is It Conceivable? – Part 5
Apparently, this IS conceivable
Some of us have dreams when it comes to toy collecting. Complete a collection of variant minibots, own a particular sub-line of pre-Transformers, have a graded sealed collection of G1 across a few years of release or a run of Japanese exclusive Transformers, those are serious ambitions but to some reasonable degree they are – according to and as defined by …

Intermission ~ 12 Months Back – Part 1
Nowadays, quite a catch
Does a collector ever lose their touch? By taking a 4 year break, I would be walking back into a very different collecting landscape full of new high-rollers with established contacts and sources hoovering up the best that eBay and the forums have to offer. What could I possibly expect to achieve considering the fact …

French Connection
Kickback. Kickback. Kickback to where you once belonged
Hasbro and Takara, two names of toy manufacturers that are synonymous with the global success and lasting phenomenon that is The Transformers. Takara’s designs and Hasbro’s marketing helped ignite the fire that still burns within all G1 Transformers collectors. Hasbro-Takara are the Lennon-McCartney of our collecting passion. However, any serious Beatles aficionado will tell you that George Harrison …

Intermission ~ 4 years away
Shining Ultra Magnus - needed a voice
In 2007 I left the Transformers and pre-Transformers collecting game and community again for the second or third time (I lose count). This almost always involved a fire sale of some sort, exchanging rare and hard-earned variants and centrepieces for significant amounts of money to set me on my way in the direction of newer and more appealing pursuits. …

Mexico Revisited
Mas...MUCHO mas de lo que ves!
Sure, we’ve been here before, and sure we’ve talked about some of the wacky things that Plasticos Iga did with the Transformers brand south of the border, but as with any good holiday destination you’ll never see it all in one visit. Because of that, we’re back in Mexico to have a look at a few more intriguing and unique …

The Appeal Of Pre-Production – Part 2
Fantasyformers
Hot Rod was meant to be pink? They actually MADE a grey Astrotrain? What do you mean Alternators Jazz was supposed to be a Porsche?! Having begun to explore the appeal of pre-production items in the later Transformers universe last week, this week sees us go back even further in time before G2 and delving into …
