Thanks my bud, I love the CHUGS/Classics...but really need more, like, wheeljack, turbo tracks, Wheelie, Smokescreen, Galvatron, Cyclonus, ROTF Bludgeon (think a friend has him for me)...and a few more, but i like to think i'm atleast half way there on them
I enjoy the modern era design on TF's and Joe's. It's a different breed but more closer to the G1 line then say bayformers and such!
You should see my GI JOE collection, Vintage figures and Modern Era...I could take picks and send along if your interested in a peep!
Love that collection as well
And as well as the Lord of the Rings figures that came out from 2001-2004. Man I have almost all of them in packages. My belief is you need to open the package (Keep it safe and secure with paperwork and all the twist ties and box them up to take care of them, just as much as a the figure. I don't have the massive belrog, My fave...but I do have 75% of that line or more, i think it's close to 90%...just need a troll or two, A horsse and rider or two, the Big Sauron figure, with the Big Treebeard (Have his smaller version and it's so awesome)...I grew up reading the books since 6th grade, once a year every year....my collection of books is massive as well, not to mention all my comic books, stuff that started my into comics with the early Todd Mcafarlane amazing spiderman....TF and GOE...as well as some awesome other work, my fave artist are, Batman's Greg Capullo, Superman: Unchained Jim Lee (book just started a moth ago)...Robert Atkins, Larry Hama, and a ton of TF illustrators!
I'm king of the geeks around my parts, have been for years! and I love it! ehehe
Now your collection is a kicker!
