Howdy! - City Commander - 09-09-2010 11:45 PM

Howdy folks! I'm new to this here board, but not to the UK transformers community. Some might know me from Seibertron, or perhaps tfw where I'm Master Blaster, but y'all can call me MB Big Grin

My primary objective in coming here was to see if any of y'all needed anything I'm selling, since I'm downsizing my collection to just the important stuff so I have more space. Things won't be up long on account that I'm off to uni again next saturday, so will need to pop things on ebay this Sunday.
But still, take a gander! Not everything will go up on ebay, and I'll be able to sell what's left again when I get back home come Christmas.

So without further ado, my sales thread!

Welcome aborad fella!

So tell me, this is essentially a UK tf forum right? I'm impressed to see you guys still soldiering on, there doesn't seem to be much UK tf love any more...

Not exclusively UK, there are a few lurking around from parts unknown but it is UK based.

Yea, some of us are die-hards, or stupid, I'm not 100% sure what.

Except for the occasional forgotten figure, Hasbro UK have got better at the distribution in recent years.

Wotcha! Glad to have you aboard!

I think you're right - I'm certainly not 'feeling the love' at the mo... I think what keeps us here is the good company to be honest!

Tis true, Brits are always the best laugh! Big Grin

Probably just too many lines going on at once recently, Energon and Cybertron got pretty awesome distribution from what I remember. And the retailers certainly seem keen on HFTD and Generations! I'm reading about brilliant stock for the early waves across the board so far.


I used to be a die-hard, now I think I'm stupid. Trying to cut the so-called fat from the body of my collection cos it's just too big. Even my alternators are getting sold off. Not that I can complain, if they all sell that's about £270 I'll have made, pretty much pays for MP Rodimus and Protector.

I've always fancied listing my collection but never done it, so I'll do it now! Would be wise to create a figure/parts database for everything I guess.

Beast Wars

Optimal Optimus
Transmetal Depthcharge
Transmetal 2 Tigerhawk
Universe Cheetor (still haven't quite decided on what Cheetor would best represent the character in my collection...)
Transmetal Rattrap (I've given him a pistol from a oversized KO Towline I bought at poundland years back. Actually looks like the show gun!)
Fuzor Silverbolt

I did buy TFA Black Arachnia to go with them, but she's too tall...and still trying to find Henkei Dinobot. Still hoping that we get some Rhinox love in generations. The Japanese Telemocha figure is nice but too small/kibbly.

Movie

Buster Optimus Prime
Voyager Premium Ironhide
Deluxe Ratchet
08' Camaro Bumblebee
Sideswipe
Jolt

Massively cut this collection down to core figures, sold off about 8 figures. Don't like the twins, and pretty sure I won't be buying any more figures for this collection.

Animated

Battle begins Optimus Prime
Earth Ratchet
deluxe Bumblebee
leader Bulkhead
ninja Prowl
samurai Prowl
Jetfire
Jetstorm
Ultra Magnus
Sentinel Prime
Jazz
Blurr
Rodimus Minor
Longarm Prime
Arcee
Black Arachnia
Wreck Garr
Grimlock
Swoop
Slag
Megatron

Not interested in paying £18 odd for Ironhide, just doesn't look great. Was tempted to sell this lot off, but I'll wait a few years til they're worth something.

CHUG

Voyager Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Cliffjumper
Mirage
Sunstreaker
Sideswipe
Henkei Ironhide
Henkei Ratchet
Prowl
Smokescreen
Bluestreak
Energon Downshift (Wheeljack obv)
TFCC Nightbeat
Jetfire
Inferno
Silverbolt
Powerglide
Energon Strongram (acting Brawn)
ROTF Beachcomber (acting Beachcomber)

Energon Omega Supreme
Rotf Superion + Crossfire addons
City Commander + white Magnus
Cybertron Evac (acting Sandstorm)
Defender
Universe Roadbuster
Drift
Energon Terradive (acting Topspin) [planning to use Breacher as Twintwist]
Botcon Kup
Classics Hot Rod
Energon Arcee

Everything Else

20th Anniversary Optimus Prime
Cybertron Vector Prime
Titanium Rodimus Prime
Energon Windrazor
Energon Landmine
Energon Bulkhead
Universe Overload
Armada Unicron
Cybertron Primus
RiD Optimus Prime
Armada Optimus Prime
Armada Final Battle Optimus Prime
Alternator Optimus Prime
Classics The battle begins Optimus Prime
Cybertron Optimus Prime
Energon Optimus Prime + Wingsaber


Besides that, it's everything in my sales thread! So my displayed collection numbers about 80 figures on shelves and cupboards, and then probably somewhere around that again in sales items.

I know this thread is useless without pics, so we'll see what the week brings photo-wise Wink

Shmax.com is good for that. I used to have a spreadsheet, but moved over to Shmax.
