ATTN: TF thieves in Toronto

[SlapDash]

Hi all,

Some sad and anger-inducing news: my storage locker (among others) here in Toronto was broken into and while the back crushing comics were left alone, the perps absconded with plenty of boxed MP scaled Transformers and more.

I know this will probably amount to nothing, but if anyone comes across these guys all as one big set for sale, then I would be suspicious:

FansToys Swoop/Soar
FP Slag (Diaclone metallic)
FP Sludge (Diacone metallic)
Planet X Vulcan/Grimlock (metallic)
Planet X Snarl (Green metallic)

MP Takara Star Saber (with upgrade kit)

Toyworld Hardhead
Toyworld Jazz

XTB Arkose G2 Beachcomber

And some Mainlines:
Gen selects G2 Megatron
TR Overlord
Thrilling 30s Sandstorm
Legacy Cosmos
Legacy Pointblank

Vintage Pounce & Wingspan

...and that's all that I've discovered missing so far. Good times. Thankfully most of my collection is still intact, but it still sucks that I lost some of my fave pieces that were only gonna be there temporarily.

Happy Wednesday all. - SlapDash / Mike

I'm really sorry to hear this. If these things do show up on like Facebook Marketplace as a big lot, do you want to be notified, or are you just going to let it go?

Mike, when I used to rent a storage locker, the insurance was mandatory.

Is that the case with you? Are you able to file a claim? Unless it's the wild West with your storage locker company, I probably wouldn't bother with these guys anymore.

Personally, I'd love to be notified just to check out the posting. I know where all the dings on some of my boxes are.

Just discovered also missing, and likely purloined:

POTP
Evolutions Optimus Prime (with Orion Pax)
Punch / Counterpunch
Darkwing & Dreadwind

UNITED
Autobot Tracks

MP Rodimus Prime (TRU exclusive, no-trailer, targetmaster, evolves-from-Hot Rod version)

XTB Toro/Cliffjumper

Newage Soundwave/Scaramanga

FansToys/RP Acoustic (Sound)Wave

MFT Octane/Poison
MFT Astrotrain/Iron Sky

SG Optimus (Earthrise recolour)
Inferno
Trailbreaker
SG Ratchet (Earthrise recolour)
Core Megatron
Siege Thundercracker
Siege Sideswipe

I'm not sure if I'm bummed out or thankful that I kept good inventory and pictures of everything. What a day.

I should clarify - this is the storage locker INSIDE my condo building near the parking levels. And yeah I've got insurance, though I'm fairly sure some of the stuff is priceless / irreplaceable in the sense that some were gifts with sentimental value attached.

Sorry to hear, I hope you can get some justice.

Sorry about your loss. Did they go after your locker because they knew what was in it or just random? Will keep an eye out for any "lots" if that helps

[skrilla 88]

1) Did you contact the popo?

2) Did you contact Management?

3) Ask if you can check cameras... if you can

4) This probably won't help but keep an eye on Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, Craigslist and all the other classified ad sights.


Sorry for your lost.

Sorry to hear about this....if you know of the collector and TF weapons designer Azim Venksta, he also had this happen to his collection at a storage facility a few years back. I'd recommend contacting him for some advice perhaps? Which storage facility/what part of town did this take place in? Did you file a police report?

sorry to hear this man - i hope someone can help you out and will be on the watch for listings on your goodies.
