Maybe the next pilgrimage should be at Oak's house instead of HQ

^Agreed!

There's some wonderfully weird and whacky stuff coming out for Transformers nowadays. Here's a 2 foot tall Unicron head:

Pretty cool.

Some new pics of Masterpiece Ultra Magnus, including transformation and comparison with Rodimus:

If you're a SERIOUS Transformers collector you need to have an endless flow of available cash.

Yep, getting expensive by the year. Super cool stuff though, so I'm not complaining. I wouldn't be surprised if Tomy Takara goes crazy one day and introduces an "Ultra Masterpiece" lineup with $2k figures made up carbon fiber, titanium, etc. parts.

That would be cool.

There's so much on the list! The end of the year Masterpiece run is about to begin, Wheeljack then Bumblebee then Ultra Magnus all must have for me. I'm really liking the 2014 SDCC Hasbro Sunstorm MP, beats the Takara by far in my opinion (which doesn't happen often), I might pick that up. Then there's leader class Jetfire in about a month. Also looking at a 3rd party Predaking that's about to complete release soon. Too much, and so little $$ to go around, haha.

Sounds expensive. Good luck on the upcoming purchases. A great list of stuff.

I picked up the Hasbro Sunstorm MP last week, and it is very cool. The horizontal stabilizer keeps popping off when transforming (which drives me crazy), but it does look very nice displayed.

I somehow forgot this was in my garage. G1 Skywarp Commemorative Series IV Classic Re-Issue from 2002. Not super rare or anything, but still cool none the less. It'd be nice out and posed.

Man, there's a Transformers treasure trove between your garage and your parents' place! Congrats on the good find!

Nice find on that Skywarp!

Oak do you have Sunstorm displayed in jet or bot mode? Wondering how much of a pain he was to transform if you have him in bot mode.

Sunstorm's in robot mode. He actually isn't that bad to transform. Same as Star Sream and Acid Storm, of course. Pretty intuitive, but parts keep popping off (mostly the Stabalizer, but the right wing pops off on occasion as well.....and the fingers.....can't move the figures on the left hand without them popping off, probably due to poor QC).

I got ya, thanks for the info. I may wait for the TRU run later this year, maybe some of those kinks will be worked out. I may get itchy before then though, haha. They definitely did an awesome job with the paint app details.

Here's some randomness before I left again.

This was actually my first Transformer. I remember buying it and being in complete awe...

Love all of it, especially Punch/Counter Punch!

Thanks.

I always seem to remember as I'm leaving. There is still more G1 goodness in that room...

Looking forward to seeing even more of these finds.

3D Light FX says they're coming out with Transformers light fixtures (more adult definition of "night light"):

My boy just drop down jealous of your collections, Oak! ...and he said " Everything is awesome!"

Posted this before, but I imagine the images are long gone



and I need to find my McDonalds Pancake transformer

and I need to find my McDonalds Pancake transformer - Dann

Lol, I have the pancakes, fries, big mac, and shake. It's 2different series I think because some are dinosaurs and some robots.

Got a milk carton too, but all it does is fold the head and feet inside, so I don't think it counts.

Thanks to you and your boy, Theo!

Here's what $13k will get you in the world of Transformers:
