I've been meaning to ask a question, but can never remember. What defines Siege for your collection, Doc? Where do you draw the line for your completionism?
Only things released under the Siege banner, or all siege originated molds, no matter what line they're released under?

I was originally going for all Siege and toys released with Siege moulds ie in Selects, etc as much of the latter just feels like 'more Siege toys there wasn't room for at general retail' rather than a distinct line of its own. However, not all of it is actually available (ie the Skywarp) set and some of Selects is hard to find or just too expensive for my budget.
So I decided to call it a line at general mass retail releases that were sold with the Siege logo on their packaging (or re-released as identical toys in Earthrise). There are also store exclusives that are sold under the Siege name I just can't get.
So if I can get Singe then general mass retail Siege is 'complete'. I will still try to track down Siege exclusives and Select toys that use Siege moulds from time to time but I know I will never be able to get them all!

Selects Smokescreen, Lancer and Nightbird in the post! Nick has found Singe!
That will do for a few months.

I saw this 7 minutes ago and Skywarp had already sold. Thanks anyway!  -Ralph |

Ah well, they'll hopefully pop up more frequently if folk replace their Siege ones with ER. Will shout if I see another.

Thanks to Nick, Singe is here. Rung is in the post from ID so regular retail Siege is COMPLETE.
Hoping the Japanese release of Skywarp will be easier to get than the Hasbro one!!!
It's not over yet...

I'm still holding the rainmakers and soundblaster if you want them.
Though I did come close to opening them a while back.

Oh, great!
I hadn't wanted to bother you what with there being a pandemic and lockdowns and the like.
I'll still take them off your hands though I am moving house this month so things are a bit crazy until early September!

He has something, just like Rotorstorm.
I think those two, Zetar and the tapes are the favourite Selects I have so far

I've never seen the tapes available anywhere!
I want a Wingthing to with Soundblaster, and the two faux powermasters wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks to Phil, Takara Tomy Mall Nemesis Prime is here!
This means that now only the following elude me:
-Rainmakers 3-pack
-Decepticon Phantomstrike set (Skywarp and his Battlemasters)
-Micromaster Mega Value 10-pack
-35th anniversary Voyager Soundblaster
The first can be solved with the reissue. Hell will freeze over before I can get the second and third on that list!
BUT!
Do I now have to include the following for full Siege completion also???
-Premium Edition Optimus Prime
-Premium Edition Megatron
-Voyager Soundblaster with the Mercenary faction logo
-Shattered Glass Megatron
-Shattered Glass Jetfire
-Shattered Glass Starscream
-Battle Across Time Sideswipe
-Netflix Red Alert
I think I have the other releases of toys which reuse Siege moulds that have come out?
Does it ever truly end???

I need to get a package to send off over there (to dezzah I think without checking).
While the rainmaker set is no small undertaking, I also still have the 35th Soundblaster, which is much easier to stick into another package.
If you want to coordinate something with him about shipping.

Many thanks for your offer! I shall have to politely decline as my current financial situation due to covid is rather poor.

I thought Battles Across Time Sideswipe was the new Earth mode version?

Post by The Doctor on Jul 9, 2021 22:10:36 GMT
Yes but as it is a remould of a Siege toy does it count as Siege?
