And man, with the introduction of new Transformer toys and such with the big movie bang and all that good stuff...

Ive probally bought 10 or 15 new Transformers...

And man are the Japanese smart or what?

The Transformers "Masterpiece" series is just insane.

Ive had the Optimus Prime one for some time. I didn't realize it was part of a bigger series in Japan. There are approx 7 Masterpieces available. 3 are repaints which I wont get of the 3 pictured above... just dont have the pockets to shell 300 bucks for the same stuff just different colors... haha

And the other one is a full size trailer for Optimus Prime which I found....

Stuff is amazing!

:)

I know no one cares, but to see such amazing technology put into toys is amazing...

    Leave Sid alone. Some of you guys are much older than Sid and still play with toys -- Xbox and Playstation.

    hehe...

    I do gaming too -- TF collecting is actually a pretty big thing. There are ALOT of MSIB collectors out there with collections of THOUSANDS of Transformers. Mostly consisting of the original G1 releases.

    The Masterpiece series is a small run series and in 10 years will be worth much more than their asking price. Some already go for several hundred...

    So, while it is a "toy", it is also a collectors piece -- but I doubt I will ever sell them... :)

    Not in the cards as I received a speeding ticket a few months which really put a hurt on me in the way of a schedule, money, and thrill of driving :(

    Ill make it next year, Im sure.

    Cool Hobbie/collection. I like the Starscream. Looks like it came off the movie set.
