Collection Archive is Up!

What's the point of a blog if it can't be used as reference material?

I've never collated all my collection pictures in one place until now. Come with me on a journey through time, starting way back in 1985 up to present day exploring how my collection has grown, changed and evolved over the years.

This archive details my collection in just about every stage of my life, shown through pictures that I had to dig deep to find (many on film!)

You can get to the Archive at the link across the top anytime or just check it out here!

Botcon 2001...How does one begin an Obsession?

To say that Botcon 2001 was the beginning would be misleading at best. I mean, I still to this day vividly recall obtaining my very first Transformer when I was still only five years old and carrying it with pride through my father's restaurant.

Now whether that is a real memory or something that has been conglomerated over the years I can't say. But while that might have been the beginning of my relationship with these little plastic toys, Botcon 2001 was the event that changed that relationship forever.

Starting from Scratch...almost

When one sells their entire collection and then decides they want to start again, where do you start? Do you try to obtain everything you let go of, or do you explore new opportunities?

This is the question I find myself facing.

The G2 Stunticons - A Grail Like No Other

Upon coming back to this blog and looking through the last series of posts, I’m actually amazed I never took the time to sit down and chronicle what had to be one of my biggest successes as a collector in my history.

Finding and purchasing a set of carded G2 Stunticons.

Transformers ONE

This isn’t going to be a movie review, because I don’t do those. But more like a retrospective, now that we’re about a year post-release of what I consider one of the best Transformer movies produced.

IT NEVER ENDS!!

When Simon Furman penned those words into Transformers #79 I imagine he had no real idea of how they would continue to resonate through the fandom for decades to come and in some ways define what Transformers means.
