I want to let all my followers out there know that I now own the rights to Transformaniac.net and Transformaniac.com. Whatever one you type in will now bring you to my website. 
I gotta give it to Godaddy, they alerted me immediately when then domain name was coming up for auction. I jumped on that faster than wheelie can talk! Also, with the great news I decided to change up the site a bit. My Japanese cheerleaders with GT-R Optimus and Saber are now the cover page. I do own Megatron but didn't make it into the photo....just yet. With my new camera, I CAN NOT wait to get some hi-res pics up!

Below are the real cars that are inspired by the alternity line that Takara produces.

Oh masterpiece transformers have you changed my life entirely! I do and will own every one EVER made until the day I'm buried with them. No joke. Since 2005 I've been collecting these massive, perfect articulated, G1 replicas. I do not own MP-01, he was released without his trailer. I'm so glad that I waited because 3 years later he came with his cab. I started with MP-02, Ultra Magnus. I remember when I took this guy out of his box, weighed a ton! Talk about loving  plastic crack! I was nearly in tears...a dream come true of something that I've owned for 20 years has been tripled in size and weight! Now we are coming up on getting the real Ultra Magnus that comes with his trailer and attaches to him like the G1 version. 
Since that day MP-02 thru MP-19 are spread out in "The Vault" posed, tall, and ultimately amazing, unlike their G1 companions. Of course MP-20, 21, and 22 are on pre-order. Wheeljack, Bumblebee with spike in his exosuit, and Ultra Magnus.
Now that I've taken this completely off topic, let's get back to what this post is meant for.

REPROLABELS.COM is the BEST place to get stickers for your old or new transformers.
I've decided that my masterpieces needed an uplift. They just weren't G1 accurate enough to satisfy my needs. This is years later in case you've wondered. I've accepted them for who they are and let them be until Sideswipe, Prowl, and Bluestreak came into the mix. Incredible! Pictures definitely do justice to them. I highly recommended anybody that wants to give their masterpieces an uplift, do buy the stickers. To make them even more accurate to my collection. I bought the rub signs that they also sell. Couldn't tell the difference if you tried....Pictures up very very soon.

I've been searching my house for weeks and weeks to take pics of my little plastic obsession. Now that I have a baby in my life, she has taken up the entire house. It's unreal how a 10lb precious little mini-me can take up and need so much space. Especially, since I'm living in a decent amount of square footage! The dark non-finished basement is always a place to go. It doesn't sound as bad as I just described it but it's no place you want to be for a long period of time. Old table from the dining room (we used to actually eat at a table) has become my setting up point for taking pics. We've recently acquired a new Nikon SLR camera for our little daughter (Evil laugh). Thank you little miss Char!! I'm still learning and messing around with the setting. Better backgrounds will have to be the next step in this voyage of plastic picture taking. Right now lets just concentrate on the high-res and angle shooting.

Waiting oh so patiently for the triplets to show up at my front door step. Yesterday was that day! Now I don't own the original one (Gnaw) for some reason. He's only one of 7 transformers that I am missing to complete  my 84' to 86' collection.  I do not have pics of them just yet. Finding the time to setup and take pics has been a real hassle to me and I'm hoping I get that chance soon. I've been slacking severely in this dept.! 
The box definitely suits who these little voracious creatures, swimming in the water with their beady eyes glowing! If you ask me, very, very creepy! As far as the toy it's self: Absolutely great! igear did a wonderful job of making them G1 perfect! They transform pretty simple. The detail could use some repro stickers as there is no decepiticon symbols anywhere. Obsessed with stickers these days! Like the original, the tail becomes a chain and ball. They come with guns, yup, I said guns! There is a large gun and a small gun.
So far from what I've been seeing out there, this 3 pack is the best made toys. I highly recommended if you are a transformaniac like me!

I want to let you guys know that I will be back to posting regular posts in January.  I've had a lot going on the past 6 months. My collection definitely didn't stop though. New and new crack keeps coming in that have been piling up in "the vault"  I've also been working on revamping the site. Best of all, me and my wife are proud to say that we have a baby girl coming to us in Feb 2014!! Life doesn't end but slows down significantly. I will still make it a point to post more and consistently next year. Last but not least, my room needs a little rearranging cuz I'm finally running out of room! Nothing major but enough that things have to move from place to place. Until then Have a nice and safe holiday and Happy new year to you all!!

My poor civic was just costing me too much money and I had to trade her in. I don't know if a lot of you give your car a name because I do. My civic's name was Amber. The new an improved car of mine is now an SUV and her name is Veronica. Don't ask me why but there is something about "stripper" names that I just love! Of course I will be putting on the decepiticon symbol that I made several years ago. BUT the best part of having a new car is the new tech equipment that comes with it. I can sit here all day and tell you but it's not the point of my post. With my new vehicle you can have wallpaper as your screen. You can upload any image that is .jpg and is 1920x936. Here it is...

Of course everybody that I know, knows that I am obsessed with Transformers. You want to get me anything for whatever occasion it may be, get me something with Transformers. My brother and sister-in-law decided not to buy me something but to actually make it! When you look at this, you'll probably think that they bought it somewhere. NOPE! I've been watching them make these for other people (not Transformers related) and it is incredible!! I can't believe they took the time to make me this string art Autobot symbol! Thank you guys! I love you to death!! 

It's hanging on "The Vault" door before you enter...

Last week I received my two GT-R's that I have been patiently waiting since the first day I saw them! Let me tell you that it is NO comparison to Hasbro. I wish I had a little more money in my pocket because I would buy all my toys from Takara. They have the most amazing quality and detail I've ever seen for Transformers! Not only that, they use metal!!! When you pick one of these guys up you really feel that you have a nice piece of collectors item in your hand. You just want to buy more of them! I HIGHLY suggest that if you love the Altenity line from Takara that you have to get one of these. A little on the pricey side but it is well worth it! The Japanese anime girls are pretty cool but nothing that I'm in to. In the pic here is Optimus Prime and Saber.

Arrived Saturday was my Kreon Micro-Changer Series 02 - Case of 24 Blind-Bagged Figures!! They include:
Bulkhead
Scourge
Blight
Arcee
Acid Wing
Veichon
Hardshell
Powerglide
Perceptor
Lugnut
Hoist
Groove

Since I got a pack of 24. I'm selling the rest of them on Ebay. If you do the math. I get to keep 12 figures and you get to buy 12 figures. You are guaranteed 1 of each. Trust me I made sure the numbers are all there. I don't know if any of you figured it out but it is VERY easy to know if you aren't picking duplicates.
