Holy God Primus! That is great to hear, Erium. I think you chose a great time to get into Transformers. There are many collectors who need to sell their stuff to pay bills, and having active collectors to support them is a win win for everyone.

You know what I didn't even think that they might be doing that. If I order anymore I'll be sure to order from US sellers and not the chinese figure vendors (a lot of really good deals to be found buying from Chinese eBay sellers, I've gotten a few MISB legit non-rodimus masterpieces for insane low prices there only downside is shipping time). I am a guitar player/collector as well and I know the value of selling your collectibles to people you can contact later if they eventually want to sell it back to you. Heck a lot of the local guitar economy works like that lol, its like one big never-ending swap meet and that way you never completely lose things you're attached to. I am glad to help out my fellow transformers fanatics.

It has actually started my collection. I retired from my career with the state prison system due to COVID19 and got a massive 10 year retirement check. So the first few days of being home I watched the 1980s transformers movie again. This sparked something in me, being a transformers fanatic as a child, and so now I have nothing to do all day but surf eBay for deals and rare transformers. I mainly just collect all the versions and releases of my favorite character Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime but I have acquired a few other really cool pieces. Of course I've also spent a ton, but I've had a blast.
