  1. Oh my gosh. My Ratchet arrived today. I now have every Transformers Universe (2008) Deluxe. All the Deluxes. All of them.

      1. @pony He was literally the last toy from that toyline that I didn't already own. Now I do. It is the sweetest.

        1. @thelastgherkin That sounds like a sweet collection.

          1. @pony That makes three entire lines that I've completed. Technically four, but I don't count ones that are still in progress. ...I need to update my spreadsheets.

                  1. @pony That's a ballpark figure. I'd have to do a proper census to verify that number, like today I found that I'd missed off two that I bought... six years ago? Also there's the fact that most of them are in storage and half of them are at my brother's house.

                    1. @thelastgherkin they are one of the coolest toys from my childhood.

    2. @thatonestocking You did! Brave Maximus and all his bits and bobs.

    3. @thatonestocking That little dude is called Plasma. The head comes off the large one to turn into a robot, and Plasma forms that robot's head.

    4. @thatonestocking There's only probably like, ten of the gold ones in existence.

    5. @thatonestocking Oh, right! Gosh, no wonder I can find hardly any information about it. That's gnarly.

    6. @thatonestocking Suddenly I am even more in awe of it.

    7. @thatonestocking What's more, even without the gold chrome this thing would cost like $1200. Imagine the price WITH chrome. Insane.

    8. @thatonestocking Nah, I'm reading up on it, and it turns out the guy just had a vintage one in his possession that he asked a company to chrome for him. Everyone on the internet was like, WAIT, DID TOMY FIRE UP THE MOLDS TO MAKE THIS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN USED SINCE 1988?! Then they were disappointed because there wasn't a reissue of the original toy.
