Hi all! I was just wondering, after all this time, who has the biggest G1 collection in the UK? And...who has the collection with the most rarest G1 items? I'm guessing The Moonies, Ras and Spacebridge come into the equation. Anyone know? And does anyone have a number count too? Thanks TT

The Spacebridge has more items then us I'd say, though Starscream (Starscream and the Jets) has a huge G1 collection also.
We got another 19 figures today in the post, via several cheap Yahoo Japan auctions.
Our figures, according to our list (it may be out of date) is
G1 Autobots 276 G1 Decepticons 224 G1 Cybertrons 77 G1 Destrons 21 Beast Wars Maximals 55 Beast Wars Mutants 4 Beast Wars Predacons 50 Machine Wars Autobots 4 Machine Wars Decepticons 4 Beast Wars II + Neo Cybertron 33 Beast Wars II + Neo Destron 39 Beast Machines Maximal 29 Beast Machines Vehicons 16 Beast Wars Returns Cybertrons 1 Beast Wars Returns Destrons 0 Car Robots Cybertron 37 Car Robots Destrongers 3 Robots in Disguise Autobots 21 Robots in Disguise Decepticons 17 Armada Autobots 18 Armada Decepticons 19 Armada Mini-Cons 86 Collectors Edition Cybertron / Autobots 55 Collectors Edition Destron / Decepticons 36 Universe Autobots 18 Universe Decepticons 23 Energon Autobots 32 Energon Decepticons 23 Energon Mini-Cons 7 Cybertron Autobots 29 Cybertron Decepticons 30 Classics Autobots 115 Classics Decepticons 18 Alternators Autobots 23 Alternators Decepticons 9 KissPlayers Autobots 5 KissPlayers Decepticons 3 Robotmasters Cybertrons 11 robotmasters Destrons 13 T.H.S Cybertrons 2 T.H.S Destrons 0 Titanium Autobots 2 Titanium Decepticons 2 Movie Autobots 26 Movie Decepticons 24 Soft Autobots 2 Soft Decepticons 0 Super Collection Figures Autobots 105 Super Collection Figures Decepticons 54 WSTF Cybertrons 12 WSTF Destrons 7 EZY/Legends of Cybertron Autobots 0 EZY/Legends of Cybertron Decepticons 2 Robot Heroes Autobots 4 Robot Heroes Decepticons 4 Sports Label Cybertrons 1 Sports Label Destrons 1 Music Label Cybertrons 0 Music Label Destrons 4 Revoltech Cybertrons 1 Revoltech Destrons 0 Chrono-q 6 Myclones 12 Testshots 34 TF Models 10 Decoys 66 Misc 2 JRs 8 Doubles 74 Non Official 103 Hard Copy 3 TOTAL 2055 ---------------------------
I'm still compiling another list of who we keep where, which will be used to compare against this list, in case we are missing anyone. We just bought 9 Micron Legend Minicons who we do not know who they are - so we'll be calling on Phill's experties there.
As for rare stuff, there's no question ... Raz. Paul (Spacebridge) would be next, though he sold some of his rarebits recently.
Our only real rare G1's would be the two unreleased SHBMs, hardcopy Mindwipe, Hardcopy Highbrow (complete with head, which has not been photographed yet).
We have a few unreleased G2.
Regular releases. Well we have every US/UK character, have done for several years (2001 I think it was) and most Japanese exclusive characters, including Micromasters. There's only one exclusive mould that we've not got. Dariu. Other than that, there are several recolours (Artfire, the original Six Wing, Doubleclouder, Guard City, Battle Gaia, Buster, Hydra and the white Headmaster heads oh and Twincast who I forget about since we have the e-Hobby one). I'm not including Juniors, I know technically they are gen1, but they're kind of a subline.
Today's haul included :-
- Rabbicrator (Rabikuuruta) complete with VHS of Zone (sealed) and Pencil board. (He's the blue recolour of Skystalker) - Super Car Patrol (the recoloured Sports Car Patrol).
I guess it's a matter of asking someone to name a G1 toy / character, and then I can check if we have it or not.
*updated as I found 12 toys not on the list and others on the list but not included in the totals*

Doubles - actual doubles - such as we have 2 G1 soundwaves, 3 AM Bombshells (each one a variant) etc.
Non-Official - things like our fake "Prehistory Dinobots", "Knockoffs" and I think we've also added Micromen (Laser cycles), and custom repaints.

Alternators Autobots 23 Alternators Decepticons 9 KissPlayers Autobots 5 KissPlayers Decepticons 3 This is the section that worries me... I thought I had all the Alts but your count makes 32 of them where as I have only 27 Does your count include BT's as well or have you got something else included in there? I have BT-18 which is plastic so an Alt in everyway but series number. Also, Kiss Play deceps? Are these from the Position and Spark series?

Looking at what Moonbug posted, he has the BTs and Alts together. We only have a few alts, most of the toys we got as BTs so never picked the Alt versions up

Yeah, we've not seperated them on our existing list, though we should do no our next list - sorry.
We only have 11 Alternators in truth.
Yeah the Decep kiss players are Glit, Stardust, Zangetsu

No not really, it was just the way it was put you seemed to be implying that your collection should be bigger.
