I was wondering if you know anyone who has the most TF.
Alpha_&_Omega
hard to say if your talking a bout sheer volume of figs,.......not counting repaints, counting only tfs, all toys included or mass of plastic it could go to a couple different people.
Wallas
I think it could be Lukis Bros from unicron.com, guy who makes tfu.info and Remy Rodis from TFkenkon.com- they have very big collections...
astrotrain-hk
Yeah, Luki bro got an awesome TF!!
Sangron
certainly not me...redface2tf.gif
astrotrain-hk
Me either......
Tripredacus
Lio Kaiser from Allspark and his brother DJ Soundwave. They have nearly everything, and extras of things you wish you had one of.
ErikB
i have a lot, but i'd say it's only a 5-6 on a scale of 10 (i've seen collections of thousands!)
Hot Rod
autobotmaximal's collection is fierce
Lord Madhammer
I win the prize for smallest collection. I could take my TFs through the "ten items or less" lane at the store.
OMEGAPRIME1983
I would have to say that its either Sangron's or DJ Soundwaves collections.... have you looked at theirs?? OH MY GOD!! I wanna go over to their houses to ste... er play around with theit TF's. Just kidding guys, I wouldnt steal them.
SGC Gaiares
I don't want to sound arrogant or full of hot air, but I think my collection could qualify as " a big one"
Cabal
Mine's big in numbers thinks to owning nearly every Micromaster.

Yea Lio Kaiser had every US release and most of the others ones, he had over 1000 TFs not including doubles (as of 2001-2.) They also collected other stuff and I think their toy total was between 10-12,000, and this was about a year ago!

Also Skywarp TPK (aka Predaking) has the most (Energon) Terrorcons. He was at 78 in December 2004.

Elvin Pena has the most Optimus Prime/Convoys.
I'd like to think I have the most basic G1 Insecticons. I have 17 with 2 more on the way, but I don't know.

Who has the most Jumpstarters?
VGMStudios
2 of my friends have almost every TF ever made..they have been collecting since 86...So I think that qualifies as a BIG collection!! smiletf.gif

VGM out...

great collection optimuslaugh2.gif i only collect MIB stuff...expect your pics bumblebeetounge.gif
Maximo Prime
I just crossed 600, TF only.  (Don't collect anything else, toywise)
My collection of various Primes/Megatrons is closing in on 50.
Sangron
I have a good MIB G1 collection only.
Lord Madhammer
I just don't understand how it's possible to amass collections this large. How do you pay for all this stuff?
The Diesel
I have a sh*tload.  (Wasted a bunch of $$ too)  I only have pictures here of my original G1 collection though.

He didn't have pictures online I don't think. I know he did post pics at one time of his GI Joe collection. Like they had a legion of Vipers. You'd have to go to Allspark and PM him I think. I can't do that tho.

I figure I would be over 2000 toys if I didn't stop collecting for 2 years and didn't get rid of most of them. If I didn't stop collecting those 2 years, I would probably have nearly 700 or 800 TFs, based on how much I had bought previously.

I'm humbled, but I'm pretty sure I stopped collecting for too long for mine to be close to the size of a lot of these folks. So many years missed. A lot of people were collecting the whole way through and also have many resources that I would love to have. If I had a friend with an online store, things would be so much better. tounge1.gif
Thad_theImpaler
I wish I could remember who had it, and they had posted it somewhere here, but he had well over 1000, and all MIB.... 'cus I remember ripping him for not opening any of 'em....

I'll keep looking.

Edit:  Found it... his name was the Pogoman... unfortunately none of the pix are showing up anymore icon_sad.gif

My collection hit 1314 figures today.  I know there are bigger ones out there, but mine is up there.  Unfortunatly I'm being made to box most of them up and put them in storage in the basement.  Can't wait to have my own place

Amen brother!

Why it seems that Rubbermaid Totes have gone up since I last had to buy them?  They cost like $12 now and last time I bought them they were only $7.

more toy collectors...more totes being bought...demand goes up...so does the price icon_wink.gif lol

well i stopped collecting G!...just wastn enjoying collecting junk.. i do however have all of Energon, RID, Armada, 80% of Universe, 96% of BW/BM
and  up to date on Galaxy force...im at about 617 figures
Bizzmoff
I wish I could stop collecting - help me please rumblecry.gif

I'm not a completist or anything but I just want the figures that are for sale around me. I've got a bunch of 84-87 toys (Reflector, Shockwave, Monstructor, Piranacon), most of MW, most of RiD, 99% Armada (need the Costco Prime), 99% Energon (need UM), most of Universe, all the Alts (except Tracks), a few Cybertron toys and some G2 and BW thrown in.

The only imports I have are the 5 Micromaster combiners and Brave Max. I just don't have the money to buy BTs and other imports plus the US stuff.
Alpha_&_Omega
as far as i know my beast era collection is probably among the largest as its 100% complete (includes all remolds/retools/repaints/releases made after bw except for those damn lucky draws.). but i'm pretty sure elvin pena's colletion of Primes is the largest prime collection i've ever seen. he even has most of the lucky draws i need to complete my bw collection.
Jaguaratron
Not me, I turn around my collection fairly regularly and go for uniqueness over quantity icon_wink.gif
tentagil
Mines tiny in comparison, though i have most of the G1 Combiner sets along with my other fav G1s Soundwave, Shockwave, Blaster, and beachcomber:)  Nothing MIB though.  Never understood buying something your not gonna play with.

Find pogoman over at the www.adctalk.com boards - I think there's a link on his profile there.  He's the original MISB king!

so great.1314 figures.huge collection of you.you can make box for your figures.but room is the big problem
JustLOKIPLVY
I don't think I've even rounded out at 200 yet including minicons. redface2tf.gif  I only got back into collecting just before Armada started up so I've missed out on a lot. Now I'm mainly collecting what's recent though I have no objection to picking up old Universe shelfwarmers. thumbsup1.gif

hell-fired collection. yep seen b4
Edgewise
My collection's at 1000+, Soundwave/Liokaiser there are certainly high for pure toy collections, but for strictly TFs you also need to mention the Hartmans.
rodimusconvoy
Pogoman and Starscream49 from TNI both have big collections.  Pogo is a MISB collector as I have understood, hes a cool guy.
Backfire
Did anyone mention Tony Preto? 

I have a pretty big collection, but most of my stuff is loose. 
Have just about ALL the G1 stuff, 3/4 the diaclone collection. 
I'd say most of the UK exclusives, and most of the Japan G1 exclusives.
all the BW and BM, cept for the new botcon exclusives and Antigony (have her box and card though, and is really the only one I kinda miss not having)

If I ever get my own place and make my DREAM collection room, I'd like to thin out the herd, and drop some series I don't really care for. 

Alt/BT, Action Masters, G1 and related Diaclone, gestaults, cities, movie characters and a couple other lines top my NEED list.  Throttle bots and stuff just kinda taking up space. 

I'd like to see this broken down into who has the biggest:

Rare Japanese exclusive and (weird) collection (for anything unusual like obscure model kits, or things most US market collectors never heard of)

Fakes, counterfits and or knock offs.  Some hate them, I like them, seeing like a fake G1 Optimus, twice his normal size just makes one go WOW only if...

Related series, like Brave, or GGG.
