Who Has The Biggest G1 Collection in the UK?

[TransatlanticToys]

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

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.

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*

Hi,

Explain these ones;

Doubles 74 - Are these actually double or variation painted figures?

Non Official 103 -

Thanks

TT

[Moonbug]

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.

[Xbot]

wow what aHUGE collection! I only have 355 TF's and I'm in the uS

[Rev. Mirage]

And your location means what exactly?

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?

[Minion]

I can almost hear the panic in Cake's typing

[Caken Lagann]

Hey! It's not panic...

Juat a passing interest in how that quantity was worked out.

Honest!

[Transformers At The Moon]

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

[Moonbug]

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

well the thread asked "collection in the UK" I was just pointing out to the new member that I was in the US so I wouldn't count.

What's with you Rev? That's 2 threads you jumped on me? Did I arse you or sommit?

[Rev. Mirage]

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

[Starscreams Ghost]

his collection should be bigger

but he spends all his money on games instead..........
