After starting to collect Transformers in May 2018, I have finished my collection. This is largely due to the supportive Cybertron.ca community that provided me with tips and bots and helped me stay within budget.

Attached are photos of what you helped me wrought! Guns were largely removed due to kids in house.

It's a small collection limited to 2 Detolfs that with a few exceptions targeted season 1 and 2 G1 characters. That was when I caught the cartoon in Hong Kong in '86/'87 before moving to Canada. Yes, we were late in HK and I missed the movie/transition to season 3. I didn't find out Optimus was killed until about 1988-89 when I saw the movie for the first time (and it still scarred me).

Many thanks to you for helping me complete this collection. I couldn't have done it without you!

I do have a spare CW Prowl and looking for a CW Breakdown so I can eventually do custom CW silver/red/black Bluestreak and Sideswipe.

3 of my Walmart microwaveable lunch boxes were sacrificed for the display (1 is lifting Sky Lynx).

Especially after we put the kids to bed, sit down, look at the collection and say, "Ahhhhhh!"

I noticed the 'lifts' as well, helps him align with Metroplex.

Beautiful collection OldOfflineMan!

It isn't easy completing a collection.
One of the greatest difficulties is defining one's collection!
Congrats, OldOfflineMan! Looks fantastic!!

Thanks! I didn't notice the heights of the bots are now the same. The reason why Trypticon is wearing those shoes is because that's the only way I can think of to get him to fit in a Detolf. :)

Thanks. It was even more difficult when my wife took a look and said, "Those robots look so cramped in there. Are you sure you won't need more Detolf's?"

It took much will power to say no.

Nice collection! What motivated you to end it with whats displayed instead of growing it?

Thanks. My wife and I agreed from the start that the collection will be small due to our current life situation and what we hope to instill in our very young kids.

If our situation changes, my collection may as well.

If it wasn't for the generosity and kindness of the people on this board, I wouldn't have been able to finish this given the budget and time that I had.
