Brag about your collection here:

I'll let somebody else go first.
sertile
You already did a pretty good job in your Ricochet post.

Atually, my complete set of Takara Collection Reissues isn't too high on the list of my most brag worthy stuff. Its just my favorite and what I collect before all else.
THE STIG
my walmart is 24 hrs... i know when they put stuff out. i usually beat out the scalpers. i have home court advantage lol.
OptimusTarzan
I don't have any particular piece or set that would claim me bragging rights. Maybe the number of pieces in my collection or the fact that most of them are MISB I can brag about.

I have around 450-500 transformers with only 30-40 opened.

I have orginal G1s, G2s, the complete collection of RID with doubles and triples of some figs, complete collection of Armada with some doubles, Various Hasbro and Takara reissues, most of Energon, and every mold of Binaltech/Alternators.
thecasualoblivion
I have:

1. Takara Masterpiece Convoy
2. Reissue Predaking
3. Complete set of World's Smallest Transformers, with all chases including the new wave with Hot Rod, Thundercraker and the Anime Trailer.
4. E-Hobby Exclusive Black Rodimus, Crystal Rodimus, Sunstorm, Anime Bluestreak, Anime Astrotrain, Crosscut, and others less noteworthy(Don't have all of them).
5. TV Magazine Exclusive Superlink Black Rodimus and Flame Convoy.
6. Original G1 Devastator, in good condition 95% complete.
7. Superlink Shadowhawk Cosmo-Type(limited edition blue Energon Divebomb)
8. Complete set of Takara Transfomers Collection, including Megatron.
9. All Alternators starting with Smokescreen up to Shockwave(they call it Shockblast). Also have Binaltech Yellow Tracks, Red Meister, Smokescreen GT, and Overdrive.
MasterOfPuppets
Poop on a stick.






Ok I don't really have anything special to brag about except maybe all Alts up to Shockwave + BT Red Meister, MP-01 and maybe a non reissue G1 Megatron 100% complete...
Cloudimus Prime
hmm...rather sensitive topic eh? lemme try...

As of now, I've got all Alternators unique molds (#1 Smokescreen to #13 Wheeljack + BT-07 Smokescreen GT) and all official release of Smallest Trasnformers.

All new stuff, nothing much to really brag about tounge1.gif
Drewbie
The best I can offer is alts through Ravage and an 95% complete RID collection.


And an original Blot, the most sought-after G1 toy.
Calcifer
I have... (Drumroll!)

MISB 1986 Cyclonus, I opened it instantly and misplaced a sticker and I'm proud of it.

Flash Leo Convoy, who is very blingbling.

A MISB/MOC Defensor, who underwent the same treatment as Cyclonus, only with sweatier hands.

A Takara reissue Sideswipe which I tried to sticker whist heavily influenced by stuff I can't say here. For the record, it didn't really turn out that good.
Protoform X
ummm i dunno...do my
84% complete BW set
75% complete BM set
100% complete RiD set
100% Complete Armada Set
and 92% complete Energon set

everyone collects diffrently, so not everyone is "jelous" of someone else, so the bragging doesnt bug them
JaviSRK

I hate you..lol j/k

Seriously, I wish I had the money to buy everything I wanted. Heck, I can't even get all the Alts I want.

I guess the coolest thing I bought recently was Shockblast. I just HAD to get him when I saw him and Swindle outnumbered by an army of Windchargers at Target. optimuslaugh2.gif
Sentinel
It is surprising how many people have all the WST. I also have them all, minus one very difficult to find WST Cliffjumper. But on to the other stuff:

100% Complete Beast Wars
100% Complete Beast Machines
99% Complete WST
95% RID (minus the beast that I already have through BW and BM)
All the Alts/BTs up through Overdrive, including Zoom Zoom (waiting on BT Shockwave, haven't even seen Alt Shocks yet though)
MP Optimus
MP Ultra Magnus (caved when I saw a decent price)
Brave Maximus (plus the two big guns)
Fully functioning and in great shape G1 Shockwave
Absolutely pristine and totally complete G1 Omega Supreme (no corrosion whatsoever and also had unapplied stickers that I took two hours putting on)
Complete G1 Jetfire
Waiting on an X-9 Ravage/Jaguar from Beast Wars from Singapore

Those are all the braggable ones, but here are the ones I like which a lot of people probably have:
All the G1 Dinobots, minus Swoop
Takara Re-issue Prowl, Jazz and Starscream
Most of the G1 mini-bots (90%)
Complete G1 Devastator
Astrotrain and Blitzwing (love those triple-changers)

FYI, a whole bunch of these I just bought, so they aren't pictured in my collection that is up here, I have to take more pics I guess.

EDIT: Crap, hit the wrong button and didn't even know it, sorry for the double post

Victorysabre
Hmmm, my toys to brag about...well I have alot of TFs in general, but my most precious ones would be my Victory Sabre, my Mint on sealed bilingual card (english and french) Ratbat/Vampiro and Frenzy/Frenetik, my original card board display stand from when TFTM was first released on VHS, complete Jetfire, Blackarachnia resin model kit from Japanese toy show, Japanese exclusive recolor Auto Micron team from Micron Legend, Metroplex Junior...Oy, I dunno. I'm not at my house to look at said collection right now.
OldSchool80sKid
The fact that I bought around 95% of my vintage G1 collection off the shelves in the 80's and did not break, abuse, or lose pieces to them.  I actually paid for most of them with the money I made off my evening paper route.  I bought the few G1 boxed toys in my collection when the owner of the comic store told me that I should keep the boxes because they added value to the toy the way a good cover does to a comic.  So, I went out and scoured mom and pop stores and scrounged up a few goodies.   thumbsup1.gif
Starscream the great
g1 defensor (still need combiner parts) and g1 menasor and reissue predaking

cmdrjanjalani
Hmm... I don't have a lot of fancy-schmancy exclusives, but here goes:

- Takara Masterpiece Prime (extremely rare now and 50% more expensive then when it first arrived)

- TFC #0 Convoy (Probably the hardest Prime reissue to find, with the exception of the absurd $1000 Lucky Draw stuff, costs triple or quadruple the original SRP)

- TFC #10 Soundwave (Double the price and extremely hard to find as well)

- K-Mart Energon Checkpoint and Prowl (I don't know how hard to find it is in the US, but it's impossible over here in the Philippines)

- Energon Ultra Magnus and Beachcomber (I had no idea they were so rare, so I got lucky for getting these guys pretty cheap)

Some stuff I'll be bragging about soon.

- Superlink EX-01 Buildron
- Superlink EX-02 Paradron Medic
Rapid Run
mmm. well, I don't have that  mcuh,  I have all a complte colletion of RiD, and Armada, I have a reissue soundwave and megatron, and a g2 megs, %100 complete, and also a g2 prime %90 complete.

I think before anyone  says they have a 100% complete collection of any thing, we should define complete? is this limited to show characters? line packages,...as in the energon or beast wars line...? .....molds & remolds.....variants ect....?

I my self have almost the entire beast era line excluding lucky draws......for now.  My personal definiton of complete means every mold, paint job, and variant. even if there are no paint diferences, i'll collect all the japanese show characters for beast wars. I would for beast wars returns, but they are way too expencive and i have no room; so i'll just stick to the show accurate repainted version. the leaves aproximately 4 or 5 to go.  i think i'm only missing 2 beast era figures (the bm che and mechatron repaints), bw2 maximal ship and the volcano playset; and i am including the deployers, vehicles, microverse and convention exclusives. i don't think i'm gonna get the japanese mini primal or egg beasts.
des_yeo03
For mi is up to date collection of Alternators latest being Wheeljack and TFC collection latest being #18 Soundblaster....Nothin much compared to the peeps here... redface2tf.gif
Knightsword
well for me it would be two complete G1 Jetfires (save for one gun clip), Omega Supreme, Defensor, Superion, Menisor, Bruticus, and Devastator. And from Car Robots/RID Brave Maximus (now with guns and a Grand Maximus Cog).
Hot Rod
I'm that guy from nantucket

oh and i have some cool TFs and stuff
DjinniMan
As far as TFs go, my sole claim to fame is the Sam's Club exclusive yellow redeco of RiD Optimus Prime.

Hey, ya gotta start somewhere! optimuslaugh2.gif

as of right now i'm at an average of 3 tf items a week, a new watermark for me. At this rate i will break the 1K mark for my Transformers around X-mas time of '05!!!!
Cliffjumper69
Well, I'm 21 now and when I was a kid my Mom was a manager at  the local Zellers and I had all the origional G1 Transformers. My (A$$HOLE) Dad one day decided to throw them out. (all of them) The worst thing is he threw out my origional G1 Fortress Maximus.  rumblecry.gif 
To this day i can't understand how you can throw out a 2.5 foot tall toy.


So now i have over 450 Transformers and my collection contains,

20th Aniversary Masterpiece Prime MIB
G1 Omega Supreme MIB
G1 Defensor (mint no box)
G1 Perceptor MIB  
G1 Soundwave MIB
G2 Megatron MIB

Those are the Transformers I own and like to brag about! clap.gif


To all the people I talk to about my collection, and all the people who say,
"It's a waste of money, I say, "It's an investment!"  optimuslaugh2.gif
Bainreese
Ok...this is where it's at.  Post your rarest Transformers Toy.  Doesn't matter the generation.  If it is rare(Never mass produced) or a hard to find variant that you are proud of...post it here.

Pics are great,...but not a must.

I won't be posting anything because I'm not doing this so I have a forum to brag about something I have.  I just want to see what kind of rare finds the good folks here at TFans have been able to grab.

I didn't really consider the Binaltechs to be "rare", but if that is the case, consider my collection to be very "rare", since I have all the Binaltechs up to Grimlock, including variants, except for Blue Tracks, though that may be resolved imminently. Then I also have MP Convoy, and soon MP-2 Magnus.

And, most rare toy of them all, presumably because all other copies of this toy have been ritually burned, trampled, eaten by the dogs, scrapped, or otherwise destroyed: Wheelie.
Agent TMan
Is Transmetals 2 Blackarachnia  rare?
