Focus!

[grahamthomson]

Ah, strictly retro.

I do still hope for more Reissues down the line.

[Philip Ayres]

Yes please. Finish the 84/85 cars, do Targetmasters Blurr & Artfire. And HEADMASTERS!

Ohh, Headmasters, yes!

Brave Max is my only Headmaster at the moment. I would love a Reissue Chromedome.

[Shockprowl]

Well, I'm in a Marvel moment at the mo, very much enjoying the Universe line. Also recently filled a couple of holes in my the small DC collection that I've been after.

Transformers wise, it's all Classics, baby! (Generations/Reveal the Shield- whatever the line is called these days!) And I always keep my eyes and ears open for any upcomming Masterpieces.

[grahamthomson]

You might like to know that Takara is planning a Police Car Giftset for the Masterpiece range.

There's Streetwise, Stakeout, Goshooter and Road Police.

What?!

A light-hearted jest, I think, rendered cryptic by the constant state of culture shock that is communication in a text-only medium. Or an attempt to make Shockprowl explode. Or both.

-Nick

[The Doctor]

I almost exploded.

Misfire! Misfire!

I don't really bother going on the look-out for certain ranges and waves etc. I just pick up what I like the look of and I usually only pick up TF toys at AA and never anywhere else.

My plan was to make Shockprowl explode. All over his computer screen.

Sorry, Ralph!

Last night I dreamed of the entire Masterforce range re-done for the Reveal The Shield range.

Yessss

Legends Megatron as Browning! Without his dinky orange safety cap, for preference!

[Shockprowl]

HA HA! My plan to use Doc' as a Human-Prowlnewsexploderisk-shield worked!!!



*SPLAT!!!*




Damnit!

[grahamthomson]

A new Legends version of Browning would be amazing.

[Hero]

Browning either remake or reissue would be amazing

[grahamthomson]

We'd all* have to promise not to shoot each other for at least three months for a Reissue Browning to be released!

*The entire population of Earth and its satellites.

[Shockprowl]

To quote the mighty and I'll wager beautiful Pinwig from a previous thread.

What are the Open Wounds of your Transformers collection? The Painful Holes, the Gaping Voids, the Annoying Absentees, the Irritating Spaces on the Shelf? Either existing toys, or toys you ache for.

Share your pain, Brothers!

[Shockprowl]

For me, the focus is on the 'New MP'. For the Love of Peter make a new Masterpiece Megatron!!!!! COME ON!!!!! I am also desperate for a MP Jazz. And the upcoming MP Wheeljack. MP Ratchet would be nice as well. My New MPs, my flag-ship collection, are heavy on the 'Cons, and I'm desperate for some more Autobot cars, with Jazz (Prowl's pal) most urgent.

A set of 'Classics' Terrorcons, 1 Ultra, 4 Delux. Their style would be half G1, and half a more beasty Beast Hunters look. Abominus having a more beasty face. You know, big teeth 'n' that.

Another finger in the ribs are the fact the 'Classic' Strike Planes are too small at Delux. I have learnt to live with this, but it aggravates me still, like an open wound.....

I have also never owned a G1 Shockwave, but have owned a grey 'Shackwave', so that's not too painful, but I'd like to scratch that itch one day.

So, mainly modern problems in my TF collection.

[legios]

I have to say that I came in to this thread expecting to have one or two things that I feel greatly saddened that I haven't owned. But now I start typing I find that really there isn't anything. There is lots of stuff that I have looked at and thought "I'd really like that" - like MP Generation Two Sideswipe, and Masterpiece Thundercracker. But actually, the fact that space and finances haven't allowed doesn't seem to concern me too much. Go figure.

Things that haven't been made:

Classics Starscream in G2 colors
Classics Blurr
Classics G2 Sideswipe (botcon custom class figure doesn't count)
DoFP Terrorsaur
DoFP Tarantulas
DoFP Scorponok
Classics Dinobots

I'm sure there are others, but I don't usually feel that way about transformers. So many G1s have been made that there are no real holes in my collection that irritate me the way they do others. I'm stretching the list by adding sideswipe and blurr on it. G2 Scream, the dinobots, and the predacons do irritate me, though.

There are dozens in my DCUC, though. TF, not so much.

Things that HAVE been made, but I missed-
DoFP Megatron
DoFP Waspinator
Tigatron
Gasskunk, Slapper, Darkscream
Skid-Z, Towline, Windsheer, whomever the other decepticon
Break

There are others, but thats what's off the top of my head.

[Bogatan]

Week after week I looked at certain Actionmasters and for one reason or another didn't get them (thanks Micromaster HQ)25 years later I still dont have AM Shockwave or Devastator amongst others.

The first time I went on holiday to the US was 1990 meaning I just missed out on all the great non UK released toys, but I did see the Pretender classics sans pretender shells, which were a K-Mart or Walmart exclusive I think. I didn't get them. For some reason I've always wanted a set.

Until last year I had all the G2 gobots except for Optimus and Megatron. Very annoying especially as it was the only Optimus Prime I didn't have at the time (obviously ignoring the vast assortment of variants)

I had the Beast Wars 10th anniversary Primal and Megatron boxset in my hands in TRU in 2006, but thought it was too expensive so put it back.

The Christmas I got Dreadwind and Darkwing only to find both boxes contained Dreadwind. Back Darkwing went and it was well over a decade before I got another, but it wasn't really the same by then.

[Jim]

Fingers crossed, last night I secured a TFC Prowl reissue on eBay, thus closing a long-open wound.

I have never owned an original Dinobot (please, please, please Takara let AOE nudge you to some reissues).

I have never owned a complete set of one of the Special Teams (I particularly wanted Superion as a child).

I would have liked to own a Headmaster from new; I have a couple of vintage loose ones but it's not the same as getting that box as a kid.

Can't think of much else, really; there's a few things I mildly regret not picking up but nothing I'm actively hunting or aching for. When Prowl gets here I'll be deleting my only remaining eBay saved search for a Transformer.

Hmmmm.

Sunstreaker and Wheeljack
Huffer, Gears, Warpath, Seaspray
Dinobots
Headmasters
Clones
Monsterbots

[Marc Graham]

Saw Overlord in Woolworths....
Wanted him, but knew it would take a long time to save for him and I knew that the Transformers comics had been cancelled so I just didn't feel the bug to acquire him.

Regret it, because I don't have him even now, but mostly because I think its a toy that would have been amazing play value as I was light on Decepticons and Powermaster Optimus prime dominated all battles in my toy universe

Dawn of Future Past. Botcon 2006, also referred to as Pre-beast.

[Shockprowl]

At the time (think I was 15 or 16), I regreted not buying the Classic Pretenders when I saw them in a shop. Bought a load of Action Force instead. The AF figs were great, but a short while after I wished I'd got the Pretenders. Now though, I've moved on from G1 figures I think. So I'm ok!

[The Doctor]

Now that I have moved on most of my collection and am content to both own a smaller set and also to admire from afar I have to say I have no open wounds as such. I was able to own for a time most of my 'must have' Transformers though it is a shame I never had a set of the original Decepticon Predacons and I am a bit sad that I missed out on the FOC Wreckers. I would still like to get the latter set at some point now that I have space for them but I wouldn't be upset if that never came to pass.

A Wreckers set you say.

You are welcome to mine if you want, as I was planning on moving it on anyway.
