Random Thoughts - Why do we collect? An honest confession

Random Thoughts - When I started back in 2009; I would never thought that toy collecting was considered a hobby. I bought my first leader class Starscream for a reason to decorate my room and thought it would look cool on my computer desk. I was always the gaming geek at heart. If I was a collectors back then like I am today; I would have a huge collection of toys (not specifically Transformers) right now. Luckily I was not. I do have a special place in my heart for toys such as Transformers, Macross and recently Gundam since I was a kid. Here is my honest confession.

Random Thoughts - Return of the Masterpiece

Since third party companies are racing and eager to bring up their not-G1 characters (and a hefty price tag); fortunately Takara Tomy has heard the fan cries. Yes, the masterpiece is back and at a steady flow compared to the last decade. And since my cousins is collecting Seekers only Masterpiece; I decided that I will go all out for Autobots instead (I do miss out on a few masterpiece such as Rodimus, Red Alert and Tigertrack). There were also times that I wished I had the Hasbro Soundwave. First it was Sideswipe and the rest just followed quietly. Will I review all of those masterpiece? That will be answered in due time. But since there is a lot of You...
