I regret having to have to sell my pieced together Fort Max. I put around a thousand into it and only got $450.00 out of it.

Who is that other person on the show? He has a punchable face.
I traded away a sealed grand Maximus for a goodbye Megatron. Don’t really regret it but financially do.
when I first started collecting I would piece together all my G1 figures. I found it was always more expensive than purchasing a complete figure. Although its far more rewarding knowing that you are adding to number of complete transformers in existence.
you can try.
but you’d just punch Jim Black
I related to what Don said about selling stuff you’ll never be able to get back. I sold my Botcon 06 Megatron last year to help pay for my real-life ROTF Jolt (an actual Chevy Volt). It was a hard decision because I’ll never pay what it would take to get it back, but I’ve been ok with my decision for over a year.
All my G1 collection…….????
Stuff I picked up for crazy price that I never thought I’d get: Sealed X9 Ravage and Botcon 95 Packat in box with comic for $75 together :O
Hey Bret, I just wanted to thank you for helping me complete about 20 g1 figures. I was the guy who couldn’t find you at TFcon Toronto. Thanks again bud!
So Bret likes to be stalked for sales.
stalk me!!!!
I dare you!
I was talking about that Sergio kid. Don’t think he said he single word during the broadcast
We need a lab where you send in a shaving from the missile and we can do a ful spectrographic test on the missile color as well as a full chemical breakdown of the mixture in the plastic.
50/50/90…. 50 percent chance of being right, 50 percent change of being wrong…. and 90 percent of time you pick the wrong one.
Does it help if Sergio is texting me?
Watching after the live broadcast. Good discussion. This summer, I found a G1 Slapdash at a flea market and it took me a short while to find all the bits to piece together. The thrill of finding the figure and building it makes it a personally fulfilling addition to my collection.
Part of the hunt!
One of my favorite power master
Pieced together 99% of my US g1 collection, paid probably 50% of value on it as a whole. Pieced together a victory Leo from just the body, same with black zarak, roadfire, some parts for grandus, etc. Never paid over eBay prices for anything, $32 mib snapdragon, $600 mib black zarak, $27 springer, etc etc etc
Your exactly right. Same for me in some cases even less than 50 percent. It
