Yeah I posted about them a while ago when I mistook the shells for being the original ones, they're pretty huge Honestly I'm still kinda surprised the Dinoforce never got brought over to the US in some form or another, especially after Jurassic Park made dinosaurs super popular again

They're back up for preorder at TFsource (and Showz.) I own and love Chigurh. Shuttle mode is kind of stubby and there's a single partsforming panel with the rear of the train/shuttle booster/top of his torso but robot and train mode are both excellent.

I'm seeking some advice. Personal issues in my life are making me financially strapped at a time when I CANNOT be, so I'm thinking of selling a lot of my toys that are basically in a storage bin in an attic anyways. What do you guys recommend for the best strategy in doing that? Most of the ones I'm considering selling aren't opened, they've just been put in boxes while I've moved from place to place. So I'm sure those boxes have taken some hits, but nothing catastrophic. I have to inventory and assess, I know that, the rest I'm unsure about. The ones I'm referring to are the original Toys R Us re-issues of the G1, some of the old Classics (think Bumblebee with the skidoo attachment era), and perhaps some Animated toys. Other than just taking stock of what I have, what would be the best route to price, sell etc... Thanks guys, life sucks.

Sell them on eBay, Facebook, SA Mart, ask the local hobby or comic shop - it’s a bit of work to liquidate your collections. If you take pictures people will buy them here

If you need to get rid of them quick, look for the low end of the average prices for SOLD listings on ebay(it's a search option) and aim for a tiny bit under that. Or offer free shipping but go for a little bit under the general price + shipping totals for those items on ebay. Sealed transformers tend to go relatively quickly for older stuff, especially at a cheaper price than most other listings. If they are sealed in the box and in good condition without any blemishes you need to have in the photo or something, you can cut down on work a good bit by googling stock photos of the in-box sets and set it to high resolution results, then just repost them into your listing's gallery.

I'll start the catalog process and the picture process and go from there. I'm not a fan of ebay, but desperate times... thanks all of you btw

Ebay despite its flaws is still an extremely effective method of offloading nerd poo poo for maximum gain. The fees can pile up if you sell a ton of stuff and forget to pay them, so keep that in the back of your mind if you male hundreds or thousands of dollars in sales, you'll be paying a solid 10% of that in fees at least.

How do you forget to pay them? You have to have a Paypal account and they automatically bill you for those owed fees.

You withdraw everything from your account and spend it on more robots and then oh poo poo they ding you for it when you're between paycheques, and of course you don't have any savings to fall back on because you're a grown adult buying children's toys what could you possibly know about sensible financial planning.

I mean, I guess. But they just pull from your bank account which puts you further into the red.

Look guys I don’t think we need to start talking about finances in the toy collection thread; the only logical conclusion is we all freak out about the jacuzzi(s) we could have bought ourselves by now if not for the sweet sweet high of toyformers

I put together a mostly seasonal display all along the bottom row of the detolfs composed of CHUGs and man, I don't like how crowded it needs to be to fit them all. Now I have to tear it all apart again.

Got the TF Legends Big Powered. Roadfire is a neat retool of the Twin Twist/Topspin mold, Sonic Bomber is Misfire and Dai Atlas is leader Sky Shadow/Overlord except he can't split into two things and he has outrageously hollow legs but he's rad. I definitely prefer the smaller two , but Dai Atlas isn't bad.

Gewalt isn't the worst. But the FT one is on the horizon so it's worth waiting to compare them. For how down I am on some FT releases, at least they're correcting some missteps. Hoodlum is getting a new release that fixes the chipping problem.
