I first started collecting Transformers a few months ago with the release of the MP Grimlock. That bought back grand memories of my childhood and the Transformers that I used to have. After doing research, I noticed how many recent transformers from G1 that had been released and looked pretty cool so I started buying those. I started to not find any new Transformers around anywhere as the stores were not getting them or teh scalpers always got to them. Being an avid comic book reader and marvel collector when I was a kid, I started to take a look at the Marvel Universe figures and immediately fell in love with the small scale which allowed me to display them without taking up a lot of room and the detail on such small figures. This has led to picking up Marvel Legends, DC Universe, and other various toy lines.
Im not a completist or have OCD but I do like having each piece that I find to be unique or remind me of a character that I remembered watching on cartoons or reading in comic books.
All in all, when I joined the military, my parents decided to sell off or get rid of a lot of my childhood toys that were boxed up or still in my room and having this new collection of new and improved figures makes up for that disappointment of losing all that I had.
