I hope the Cyclonus/Hound/Cheetor wave arrive before the sale ends!

Stealth Bumblebee, it is a well done repaint, does not look as bland in my opinion, and has the battle mask head. Overall it is a very well done package, the colors accentuate the mold very well.

Premium is good enough for me, but I really like Stealth. A black-molded Stealth with the older head would be perfect.

Premium is my favorite of the Concept BBs. They should've done him that way the first time around.

My first transformer(s) was a 2 pack of the tapes The bird and a robot.
What really got me into transformers was beastwars. |

My first transformer I got when I started collecting as an adult was TM Primal. I was at a TRU with a friend of mine, who had been collecting for awhile, and I saw Primal on the shelf. Awesome figure. I bought him and hadn't looked back.
Little later down the road, the same friend told me of this wonderful site called eBay, where people had been putting up a lot of G1 figures. Well, that was it, I was hooked, there was no stopping me. |

My very first Transformer was one of the Generation 1 toys. Skywarp I think was the very first, Optimus Prime was another of the original collection. Still got them both though I've had to repair them and replace the odd part here and there.
And yes, it did influence my collection. I grew up with toys low on articulation, but big on "personality" and "design". My most treasured items in my collection, my Braves, have minimal articulation, but bucketloads of coolness in the design. My other love right now, Transformers Animated, is filled with endless personality in the designs. I generally find myself more drawn to a cool design with some sort of quirk to it than to anything mega poseable. Though I'll be honest, I've nothing against poseability and I do enjoy sticking my toys into different action poses. |

My first TF ever was Trailbreaker. I don't know if he necessarily influenced my collection so much as got me started down a dark road of compulsive buying. Well, for my parents back then anyway. Now, it's my wallet that's feeling the pain.

My first toy was Guard Star from Brave of the Sun Fighbird (semi TF like line). I never completed Guardion or Super Guardion so Now I absolutely love collecting Combiners (Even got Super Guarion now). My favs are the ones that dontcombine in the conventional 'one becomes body and four others becomes limbs' ones like RiD Rail Racer.

I have no idea what my first toy was, but the first I remember getting is Powermaster Optimus for my 3rd birthday. I love toys that combine, baseformers and small "in-scale" bots too. Most of my collection is combiners (Braves/Transformers/other combining robots) and micromasters/minicons, so in a way I guess Prime did influence it

My first was G1 Megatron, After the discovery of ebay, reacquiring him pretty much got the collecting started.

Reprolabels.com is a good place to start. They've got both 'Bot and 'Con versions available for G1 and G2, plus Beast Wars and even Unicron(!).

They are good quality and work well, from what I've heard. I have nothing but good things to say about Reprolabels, I have gotten lots of their sets over the years, and the quality is top notch.

I would say no. I would suggest that they be stored in a constantly cool environment. If you store them in an environment that is hot/ humid or that varies per season it will effect the paint on the figures.

No, they don't. I keep my stored toys in a closet, each in a Ziplock bag, and stored in a rubbermaid tub. Some of them have been there for a few years, and are perfectly fine.
Don't put them in a basement, though. The humidity can get to them. I ruined a few carded figs and toy boxes that way
