So I thought folks here if anywhere would appreciate this... My co-worker/friend's mom has to sell her house (she's dealing with a medical issue and having a large home with multiple levels is not the best) and thus all of the stuff he had in storage has to go. He called me because he knows about my collection and he asked if I wanted some SW and Transformers stuff that he was just going to toss. I said "sure, if you're just planning on throwing it out". I expected him to show up with a couple of plastic bags of worn out stuff that I'd have to pick through to find one or two pieces that are salvageable for my vintage collection (and G1 collection as he's roughly my age)...
Here's what he dropped off (in a couple of massive bins)-- I didn't bother taking pictures of the G1 stuff as I already quickly went through it and catalogued it (I've now got three Soundwaves and two Optimus Primes and Megatrons to name just a few):
I counted-- I only had (before) 32 of these ones (when ROTJ came out I was already heavy into G.I. Joe and my $$ went there... I never had many ROTJ vintage figs... now.. )
Same group-- different perspective...
Anyway, I was sad to be missing on all the fun at SDCC but my inner Geek just perked up. Thought there might be a few folks here who'd like to see my surprise Christmas in July. Now-- to catalogue everything.
