I started collecting Transformers in 1984 and have continued to continuously collect Transformers ever since. I currently have 1425 Transformers in my collection... which I think is not bad for someone who doesn't have an eBay account (so yeah, most of my Transformers are purchased from good ol' brick and mortar stores).
Been a fan of Beast Wars since the beginning. Anyway, other people describe me as a walking human Transformers encyclopaedia, so feel free to pick my brain with any questions (I love playing Transformers trivia games 
).Anyway, they say a picture tells a thousand words, so...
