People who have sold all or most of their TFs

Ya know thats the thing.. if people are buying transformers for 'collectors value' and never sell it off.. what would be the point in amassing a collection? Thats where MISB people confuse me.. open yer damn toys or sell em all.. its not like they'll be worth that much as an inhertiance to your next of kin in your passing or anything..

 

Obiviously the above statement tells ya what side of the fence I'm standing on.

 

I don't doubt my time as a 'serious collector' will come to an end.. (as far as I'm concerned those days are becoming numbered even now) but the collection itself will probably be with me for awhile. I just won't be adding anything to it.

 

MISB for value is indeed stupid. I never really got what the whole 'boxed'-thing was about untill I saw board member Megatr1n's collection pics. It's like walking in to a TF-toystore. And it looks super-sweet. So I'm planning on keeping the pretty boxes (Like Takara stuff) and putting the TF's back in them for display. Not all of my collection, but parts. I will however continue to open the boxes for fiddling. They are meant to be played with after all...

Mis read what you said, my bad..

Yeah I keep my TAK boxes and reissues only because it helps me keep my G1 guys parts all in one spot.. also handy for packaging them away when the time comes. But things like A/E/C I don't really keep in boxes. :thumb
