How did YOU start?

I used to want to build on the G1 reissues... get the figures that I never had as a kid, but the problem is if it isnt a reissue, then it is probably from ebay.

Transformer prices on ebay are currently through the roof on most stuff that isn't reissued. Then there is also the fact that even though an ebay seller says "perfect condition, etc" they are usually far from it - leaving you massively dissapointed! I even went down the ko route for superion and menasor - £100 plus for each on ebay in okish condition. Both ko's for under £100.

Then you realise that classics are actually better toys and better representations!
