This site is dedicated to an era that defines a generation. An era of imagination and creativity, an age of robotics and the theme of man vs. machine. Not only are the g1 Transformers one of the most commonly known toys throughout the world, they are also the most commonly reproduced and imitated series to date. Transformers themselves are a recreation of a pre-Transformers "Diaclone" series of toys made in Japan. Some see these figures as mere children's toys, however, in my opinion they were the beginning of a creatively engineered toy that expanded the minds of adults and children alike. I credit much of my inspired imagination to Transformers and other such toys as Lego, two things which I plan to share with my children. Aside from being extremely fascinating toys, what makes Transformers truly collectible is their steady increase in value. Either to regain memories of innocence, indulge in an appreciation, or to invest in an ever growing stock, the generation 1 line of Transformers is where it's at. Please take the time to educate yourself using this website and capitalize on such sections as "How To Spot A Knock Off"  At the age of 3 About Me... I acknowledge myself as being one of the largest collectors around. Owning almost all of the g1 collection, with only but a few left to acquire. My father started me on this conquest at the age of two. Probably buying them to compensate for his own lack of toys growing up and his like for them, I was spoiled with transformers, gi joes and lego. The other toys got all mixed up, but the Transformers were the ones that I took care of. He bought them mostly at garage sales and where ever he could find them, leaving me to figure them out all by myself and to determine which parts went to who and what. I knew most of their names from the cartoon but for the ones I didn't, I would make up. My father would use them as bribery or gifts. Stocking up on a bin of Transformers sometimes and using them as payment for going to work with him. I think that's mainly the reason I treat them as trophies today. Some, such as a complete Jetfire, I had to work an entire month for. Don't get me wrong, a month for a Jetfire?... I was a kid, what did I know (I wasn't complaining). Today, I own his old painting company and still have a special appreciation for Transformers and sometimes find me rewarding myself. I began to constantly upgrade my collection. Buying better ones to replace the ones that were beat up. I started to educate myself on parts and pieces, names and condition. I didn't know what to do once I got close to completing the series, so began to expand to headmasters and targetmasters. Then I found myself with the most prestige figures but without boxes. So I started buying collections, acquiring boxes and boxed figures. Throughout my obsessed journey I was left with many doubles, triples and unique pieces. I've even had to purchase Gi joes, Star wars, Centerions, Robotech and tons more just to get that one Transformer or collection that I wanted. Take a look at "Gallery And Items For Sale"
