"Role Call!"

Picked up these guys in 1994 and now...I seem to forget who they are! One is Mirage and one is Prowl...can ya figure out which is which?

As of right now this is all the Transformers I have. Hopefully more will be on the way...if there IS a God...and I think there is.

"Small But Powerful"

Well, I don't know how powerful he was, but Bumblebee has been a mainstay of the Transformers legacy for over 20 years, partly due to his unwaivering loyalty to Optimus Prime. Even though he wasn't the bravest...or the toughest...or the smartest...or the biggest...geez, why did we even keep this guy around? Because he got along with Spike. And let's get real...isn't that what is most important?

Bumblebee Back
Really enjoyed his role in the new movie. Now that we have established who the Transformers are and how they got here, the next step is coming up with an even more complex storyline and introducing some new characters. My picks would include:

Hound Inferno Shockwave Mirage Brawl

"Bond...James Bond..."

I'm pretty sure I would enjoy the earlier Bond films but I didn't get into them until I saw The World Is Not Enough back in 2002. Great story, great gadgets, and of course, great car.

This car is the largest of my collection, so of course it required more photos to capture its detail. I have a few more cars I will work their way on here...soon...

"The Only Mercedes!?"

Yes, believe it or not, this is the only Mercedes model I have in my burdgeoning car collection. I believe my mom brought it back from Europe years ago but for some reason it got tucked away with some other things.

I really like the lines and moulding alongside the doors and trim. I have, I think...seven or 8 more cars I wanna get on here. I haven't bought anything new in a while partly because the stores close to me have been sold out of a lot of the neater things. They always have crap in stock but the ones people actually...you know...BUY? Never around.

"Oh, Magnum..."

...was how Higgins always paged his favourite detective. I never watched this show when I was younger but now in reruns it seems to hold a subtle charm. First of all, living the high life in Hawaii is always boss. Second...the car. No one made Ferrari's cooler then Thomas Magnum.

"What's The Number for 911?"

Ha ha...that joke never gets old does it. I had a red Porsche but one of the headlights got lost. So this one is the only mint one I have.

"And Dreadwing Was His Name-O..."

Found this guy at...KB Toys back in 1994. I don't see him too often but I'm sure he's out there. He can also turn into a tank bu I couldn't get him to look just right.



By far this is the biggest one I own, but maybe some of the movie toys could surpass him. I just have to open them up first.

"Mutants...In The Box..."

What's that? Only TWO X-Men out of their original packaging? Well, to be honest, there are so many of them I wouldn't know what to buy and what to pass on. But here are two I managed to preserve:




Are there more on the way? Who knows...I don't really see them in the store anymore so it may be a while. I did hear about a Magneto movie being formed, so it could happen!

"From The Batcave..."

...can sometimes turn up a treasure here and there that you didn't even know existed but you sure are glad you paid attention! Bought these couple of years ago and for some reason I never got around to posting them to my other site so why not now ya know?



I already have another Batman like this but this one just seems to be a little darker and, dare I say it...a little meaner.



I was going to collect the entire set until they kept releasing more and more and more of them so I had to really think about which ones I wanted. Since I had Superman I knew I just had to have this guy as well.

So far what I have left is mostly cars and stuff...but it is a LOT!

"Did Someone Say Milk"?

I sure did! Found this guy at you-know-where along with some other unusual vehicles, all of which will make their way on here.







And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a craving for some chocolate milk. I wonder why...

"Empire State Building?"

Well, maybe. The Empire certainly tried to defeat the Jedis during the ordeal that was the Star Wars universe. Whiel they certainly came close, there truly was no cigar. Let's meet the bad guys:

















Now that the war has subsided, let's try to move our attention to where it belongs...which is...where?
