<br />
It took me about five weeks to do, but that's about normal for me due
to work and other more important things when I get back home. <br />
<br />
While most people just enjoy BotCon for a week, I do these write-ups so that it is li<span class="text_exposed_show">ke
living it for 5-6 weeks, while processing photos, typing up pages from
my notes and listening to the audio recordings to complete my archive. I
end up remembering the Convention better in the process, and have it
there to relive in the future.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Initially, I wasn't thinking I would
go this year, but hearing about it being the last one (again), I
committed to going to my 16th BotCon. Being so late to commit to it, I
wasn't able to give myself much time away or save up much money, so it
was only 5 nights in America this time, and very little spending money
(once I had to spend almost all of it at the Club Store).</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> It was a
great time this year, with friends, guests, and of course all of the
Transformers... with a few sad moments for many of us old timers.</span><br />

It is Display Case 23 (which no one seem to notice was skipped), and it
is my first action figure toy love before Transformers - Masters of the
Universe.<br />
I never owned any of them as a kid, but I remember playing with other
kids' MOTU toys before I got my first Transformers toy in 1985.<br />
There was just something about the He-Man toys with all their
accessories, plus the melding of medieval swords with technology and <br />
magic, and the mini-comics that came with the toys that captivated my
imagination. Later when I grew up, I hunted down as many as I could of <br />
the original series... and a few of the more interesting ones from the
newer series of toys, with particular interest on the toys of characters
that never had toys before.<br />
<br />
Thankyou for viewing this presentation, and I hope it was worth it. If you missed anything, <a href="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/collection.html" target="_blank">the collection can be found at this website</a>.<br />

Display Case 35, containing fan-favourite Masterpiece toys, both
Japanese and Hasbro, from 2003 to 2015.<br />
As much as I love collecting these toys, they have been getting very
expensive in recent years, especially the limited edition figures,
resulting in me having to skip a number of the ones I wanted because
they just aren't worth the price.<br />

TOTAL TOYS FOR THIS DISPLAY CASE - 53griffinofozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08398766339639592747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994808805508641705.post-59115687383586345202016-01-02T01:24:00.002+10:002016-01-02T01:24:39.601+10:00My 30 years of Transformers - Conventions and Collectors FairsTomorrow we get back to the Final Five Display Cases, but today, after
detailing my main interest yesterday of collecting the toys, I want to
detail the other major interest of mine with Transformers - Conventions.<br />
<br />
Dedicated Transformers conventions have a number of elements that draw
in Transformers fans, including the guests (including voice actors of
our favourite characters), presentations/panels (sometimes with toy
reveals), activities, a chance to cosplay, trading in a dealer room, and
meeting up with friends and fellow fans.<br />
<br />
In Australia we don't have regular dedicated Transformers Conventions,
so for us fans to experience some or all of those elements, we either
have to travel to another country that has a dedicated convention, or go
to a generalised scifi/fantasy convention here that rarely has any
Transformers elements (sometimes there is a Transformers voice actor and
some people selling Transformers toys).<br />
<br />
In the last 20 years there have been many localised fan meets organised
through the Australian fan community, and with a number regular
collector fairs in some cities, we've seen some of them become catalysts
for some decent turnouts of fans to those meets.<br />
My very first meet with other fans was in January 1997, in Sydney, which
is in another state to where I lived. It was only about four or five
of us, but it was great to finally be spending several hours with a
group of Transformers fans, instead of with just one.<br />
<br />
In about 2001 Australia had what I think was our first annual
scifi/fantasy convention start up in Sydney (Supanova), which later
expanded to six cities a year, and now has competition from another
company (Comic Con) that also does five cities each year.<br />
The Ozformers club had a booth at the 2003 Supanova convention, to show
off the toyline to others, and see if there was enough interest to host
our own Transformers convention.<br />
(photo is not mine)<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/2003sn.jpg" /><br />
<br />
We did get a fair bit of interest, but it wasn't until 2004 that we saw a dedicated convention, which was done in Sydney.<br />
(photo is not mine)<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/oc2004.jpg" /><br />
<br />
A second attempt was made in 2006 in Sydney, but administrative issues
meant a very small turnout, making it little more than a presentation of
a Transformers collection and a couple of toy dealers.<br />
(photo is not mine)<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/2006otc.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Since then I've been pretty keen to travel around the country to attend
meets, and go to collector fairs... as well as the occasional scifi
convention if there was a significant voice actor to make it worth the
admission fee and $50 autograph fee. <br />

<br />
But like most fans back then (1990s & 2000s), BotCon would be the
ultimate goal. Back then it was one of those things that almost every
Transformers fan had on their wish-list if they could afford it, and for
me, once I got a taste for it in 1999, I just kept wanting to go back,
as often as possible (only missing 2006 BotCon and 2004 Official Con).<br />
<br />
I had first heard about the annual BotCon Transformers convention in
1995 just before the second one, and from that time I was following them
with keen interest for four years before I was finally able to go to
one... and it was worth the wait.<br />
That first one in 1999 was in St Paul, Minnesota (America), and from a
combination of it being my first long-distance trip as well as it being a
last minute decision to go after getting a full time job, I only
booked flights and accommodation for three nights (in Friday, out
Monday). Looking back, that was way too short, and I wished I had
spent an extra day or two in St Paul, especially with Mall America
nearby.<br />
As it was, I arrived just as the registration check-in was starting on
the Friday afternoon, so I lined up for that before checking into the
hotel across the road. Meanwhile on the Monday, I had to leave for the
airport by mid-morning for the flight home.<br />
One of the things that made it such a memorable experience was the
kindness of other fans... mostly from the novelty of meeting an
Australian in person. I was only the third Australian to go to a
BotCon, so it was still a novelty. (even at BotCon 2015, I saw an
Australian attendee being a novelty to a number of people on one of the
pre-Con tours)<br />
One of the first people I met at BotCon 1999 was Tony Buchanan. At that
time he was producing a printed monthly fan magazine called
Auto-Update, and he had been sending me copies of his publication in
exchange for copies of the monthly Ozformers Club newsletter. Tony
introduced me to a lot of the significant people in the fandom, many of
which I remained friends with for as long as they were still into
Transformers or attending the conventions.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc1999.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The next five Hasbro endorsed annual Transformers conventions (named
BotCon or the Official Con) had other Australians attend, which brought a
new dynamic to the experience. I had someone to relate to that I
often knew already, and as time went on, I would take on a role of
guide for other Australians.<br />
That brought us to 2004, the year of two Transformers Conventions, and I
chose the BotCon one, because at that time it looked like it was the
last one, and the Official Convention would be around next year for me
to attend (so we thought at the time).<br />

<br />
The sudden end to the Official Convention license-holder in 2004 meant
that that wasn't going to happen, and until Hasbro announced a few
months later that a new company had the convention license (Fun
Publications), I was resigned to not going to any more.<br />
Finding out about the new business and it being instructed by Hasbro to
take on an advisory council (that had some people on it that were my
friends or I knew of well), I went to the 2005 BotCon and it was still
pretty good. Different, but good.<br />
<br />
(BotCon 2005)<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc2005.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I missed the 2006 BotCon due to funding an Australian Convention, but
the next five years saw a growth in the numbers and fan support of the
current BotCon convention organiser. 2011 looks to be its peak of
popularity before the decline of sales and attendance (according to
statistics of pre-registration and at-show toy quantities and sales,
with 2011 being the last year they sold out of everything and 2012 being
the last time they sold out the boxsets during pre-registration,
prompting a reduction of toy numbers since 2013).<br />
The quality and features of the convention itself is still as good as it
ever was, with guests, panels, Hasbro presentations, and special
activities spread over five days for me to want to keep going back, but a
number of issues that occurred outside of the Convention (that I won't
go into here) has unfortunately meant that the support for the
Convention has become a casualty. BotCon as a brand is still iconic,
but at the moment it is not the "must do" event for Transformers fans
like it was during its first 15 years.<br />
I love going, but it isn't as much fun having less and less old friends or Australians going each year.<br />
<br />
(BotCon 2011)<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/botcon/bc2011.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Each BotCon I rate with a score across 10 categories, and from that my
three best BotCons were 2004, 2009, 2011... while my three least
favourite BotCons (and Official Cons) were 2003, 2012, 2015.<br />
<br />
It's now been 10 years since we last tried to have an Australian
Transformers convention, so maybe this year would be a good time for
another attempt, especially with the 20th anniversary of the Ozformers
club this year. Something I'll have to look at soon if I want to do
something about it before the end of the year.<br />
<br />
I could literally go on for weeks about my BotCon adventures, so for

a short break before getting back to the final five Display Cases.
Instead of photos and details of an individual Display Case today, I
want to give you a quick look at the history of my collecting over
those 30 years.... including some of my earliest collection photos,
from 15 years ago.<br />
<br />
For the first 13 years I never thought to document my collection with a
camera. I didn't even keep written documentation for the first 8
years, because even though my first Transformers toy was in 1985, I
didn't actively collect or hunt for Transformers toys until 1992,
prompting me to keep lists of the toys some time in 1993.<br />
<br />
These are the earliest collection photos that I can find.<br />
From April 1998 - a single display case, that would be changed
periodically to feature current or favourite toys. On this occasion I
had the Beast Wars toys on display, with an Optimal Optimus toy that was
donated by Hasbro Australia for me to give away in a competition for
the Ozformers Club... which was an amazing gesture from them (and a
tease for me, as I didn't get one from the store until a little later).<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/1998-04s1.jpg" /><br />
<br />
From July 2000 - Another single display Case that would only feature current and/or favourite toys.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/2000-07s1.jpg" /><br />
<br />
March 2001 - the first ever photo of my entire collection which would have been close to 500 at that time.<br />
If you look at the first image like a Clock, the 1984 toys are at 12.00
and you go around clockwise for each following year. So 1987
Headmasters are at about 3.00, the Pretenders are at 6.00, G2 at 9.00,
with the rest of the "clock" being Beast Wars, and in the centre is
Beast Machines and BotCon toys.<br />

<br />
November 2004 - Moved into a new house with plenty of display room, the
first thing I did when I unpacked was put all the toys out in one spot
to see how it all looked. There were just under 1000 toys at this
time.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/2004-11r1.jpg" /><br />
<br />
December 2005 - I now had Display Cases for the collection, and at this time I had just eight of them. <br />
(this is Room 1 of the current collection, which has the big Optimus Truck in the middle of the Room)<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/2005-12ar1.jpg" /><br />
<br />
September 2006 - A third wall of Display Cases were now needed, with 11 Display Cases at this time.<br />

first room with 14 Display Cases. Each year from here I would average
2-3 new Display Cases, filling out the first room by the end of 2010,
while looking like the second room will be full in 2016.<br />

<br />
Collecting during the 1980s.<br />
My first love of action figures was in about 1984-1985, and it was for
Masters of the Universe. But I never got a MOTU toy as a present or
owned one as a kid, so my collecting attention was instead focused on
something else that I got first - Transformers.<br />
As noted previously, my first Transformers toy was Beachcomber in November 1985 for my 10th birthday.<br />
I think that this was the first time that I had ever seen a Transformers
toy because I was just so attached to this awesome toy, that I told my
parents that it was now all I wanted for any future gifts. (not that I
got many more, but most birthdays and Christmases in the next three
years included a Transformers toy)<br />
To me, Beachcomber was the best Mini-Bot I could have received, as it
had four moving limbs, rubber wheels, and most importantly, fairly
accurate humanoid proportions (something that most Mini-Bots didn't
have).<br />
A month later for Christmas I received Seaspray and Blitzwing... giving
me months of play, by having two small Autobots and one powerful
Decepticon for them to overcome in many battles.<br />
During the seven years of the Original Series (later called Generation
One by fans, and then officially), I didn't end up with very many
Transformers toys (only 32 in 7 years), so I had to rely on a dozen or
so comics, several episodes on a single video cassette (taped from
Saturday Mornings), and those magnificent yearly toy catalogues that
came with most of the boxed toys. I think I studied those catalogues
more than my school work, as I could name and describe all of the
toys... but wasn't doing much better than average with my school report
cards.<br />
I was lucky to come across another Transformers collector/fan at the end
of 1986 while at a Motel, who had a huge collection of toys, comics
and cartoons on tape. Every few weeks we'd be at one or the other's
place, playing out massive battles in the backyard... setting up bases,
taking turns to pick toys for our teams, and playing out their
techspec abilities and special weapons.<br />
It was also that friend who told me about the 1986 Transformers Movie
screening, which we went to see during the Christmas holidays.
Unfortunately he moved away around 1990, and I lost track of him. <br />
<br />
<br />
Collecting during the 1990s.<br />
The original series had ended by 1992, and here in Australia we started
seeing European Transformers (which we didn't know at the time were
anything different to the previous "American" Transformers). The
appearance of the gold box Classics and regular visits to a large flea
market, had me suddenly collecting a lot of the Original Series toys
that I had been dreaming about from the toy catalogues from a few years
ago.<br />
In that first year of Flea Market finds and in-store Classics (1992) I
had more than doubled the amount of toys collected in the first seven
years.<br />
A steady amount followed for the next three years, getting to almost 200
toys and finding another Transformers Collector/Fan along the way, but
then in 1995 my whole Transformers World just exploded. At my
University I found out about the internet... and even though it was
still in its infancy when it came to Transformers information, there was
already a decent community of collectors from many Countries, and a
growing archive of collector information.<br />
Most of the action was through a newsgroup called alt.toys.transformers
(which later spawned 5 or 6 sub-newsgroups), and a small number of
websites that hosted what was currently known about Transformers toys,
cartoon and comics.<br />
From that new world of fan interaction I found about a dozen
Australians, and many of us felt like we were the only fan out there
before we came across the internet and the online fandom. One of the
first Australian fans I came across online (goes by the name of dirge)
is still a close friend today, 20 years later.<br />
In late 1996, after a year of interacting with Australian fans, I
proposed starting up a news mailing list to the other Australians, and
everyone I asked were keen... which led to the creation of a monthly
newsletter that had its first issue in October, and the creation of an
Australian Transformers Club that was given written authorisation by
Hasbro Australia to call ourselves a Club. (I later dropped the "Club"
from our name when an Official Club was started in 2003... to prevent
confusion by fans, and avoid any demands to not call ourselves a
Transformers Club by the Official Club.)<br />
We started out as the Austrans Club, but it was changed shortly after to
Ozformers, so that we wouldn't get into any trouble from the Austrans
transport company for using their trademarked name. <br />
It's amazing to realise that 2016 is our 20th Anniversary, making us one
of the longest running Transformers fan communities/Clubs... possibly
second only to Transmasters, which started in the early 1990s (if it
still exists now).<br />
But the big thing that got me most excited in the mid-90s when I first
got onto the Internet was hearing about the annual BotCon Transformers
Convention in America. When I first got onto the Internet around the
middle of 1995 the second BotCon was about to start, and each year it
would get more and more exciting, hearing about what happens at the
event... wishing that I could go one year.<br />
1999 was the year I was finally able to afford to go, and it was better
than I had expected or imagined. It was a very quick two and a half
days for me, but nothing at the Convention itself had me disappointed or
regretting going.<br />
By the end of the decade I was at just over 400 toys, thanks mostly to a
renaissance of sorts with Beast Wars that saw many like me get back
into collecting current-release toys again.<br />
<br />
<br />
Collecting during the 2000s.<br />
The start of the new decade saw a couple of hits to my collecting and
hobby. The first was Beast Machines, giving us many unusual or
uninspiring toys. The second was the end of my time on the
alt.toys.transformers Newsgroup after 6 or 7 years.<br />
After a steady growth of online Transformers fans that the Newsgroup
could no longer cater for, we saw very early in the decade the rise of
website based messageboards. They not only competed with each other,
but with the long running alt.toys.transformers Newsgroup, because it
couldn't really evolve to compete with the fancier messageboards that
had better features and frills.<br />
On the plus side, we also ended up having a few Australian based
messageboards before we got halfway through the decade, and I was
managing to get to BotCon each year since that first one in 1999...
allowing me to catch up on a lot of toys not released in Australia, by
getting to American retail stores, and the convention Dealer Room.<br />
We also had a couple of Australian Conventions, in 2004 and 2006...
although the 2004 one was the much better one. I sacrificed going to
BotCon in 2006 to fund a Transformers convention, but failed to deliver
something respectable due to the logistics of a long-distance event
(always start out with something in your own city first, to get the feel
of it before trying something long-distance).<br />
At the 20 year point of my hobby (2005) I had managed to rocket past
1000 toys, with over 12 hundred by the end of that year. We were
getting a lot of toy product coming out each year now (like Armada and
Energon), and I was able to afford to hunt down all of the Original
Series Transformers toys from Hasbro (America) that weren't variants.
The "holy grail" to many fans at that time was one of the last Original
Series Transformers toys I ended up acquiring - Fortress Maximus, in
2006. All that was left after that was a couple of Minispys, one of the
My First Transformers, and the Time Warrior watch... all of which were
bought by 2007.<br />
2007... the year that it all changed for Transformers and its existing
fans, thanks to a big budget movie. The Brand was now mainstream,
bringing us a massive amount of toy product, and a large number of new
people who were now fans or had a passing interest in Transformers to
find out with some surprise, a little more about the pre-existing 23
years. (I had someone yesterday trying to tell me that Transformers was
only about 10 years old, not knowing anything before the 2007 Movie)<br />
At the end of the decade (2010), thanks to a good job with lots of
over-time work, I had 2800 Transformers toys in the Collection at the 25
year mark, which was over double the amount from the 20 year mark.<br />
<br />
<br />
Collecting during the 2010s.<br />
The last five years have seen so many toys being released that my annual
collecting amounts have been record breaking, resulting in passing
milestones very rapidly...<br />
<u>2010</u> - 378 toys (passed 2500 toys)<br />
<u>2011</u> - 469 toys (passed 3000 toys)<br />
<u>2012</u> - 422 toys (passed 3500 toys)<br />
<u>2013</u> - 560 toys (passed 4000 toys)<br />
<u>2014</u> - 606 toys (passed 4500 toys)<br />
<u>2015</u> - 384 toys (passed 5000 toys)<br />
Despite the drop in toy numbers this year (2015), it was this year that
saw the toyline that I've had the most enjoyment with since Animated
and Classics in 2010 - Combiner Wars. The Deluxes were a bit simpler,
but that's what made them more fun for me, as it meant that I could
play with them more without needing to spend ages Transforming each
toy. With each new team (including the awesome Devastator), I was
transforming them multiple times between each of the modes, and their
combined mode.<br />
Since Robots In Disguise was a bit of a letdown (limited Decepticons and
most were gimmick toys), the Generations Combiner Wars were the
highlight for the year, and I can't wait for more in 2016.<br />
<br />
I could go on for days about the highs and lows of my 30 years of
collecting Transformers toys, but I think that will be all for now...
before I bore people too much with too much endless text.<br />

Tomorrow I should be detailing the history of my biggest/favourite
element of my Transformers hobby, besides collecting toys - Conventions.<br />
Then it is back to the final five Transformers Display Cases... and maybe a bonus item after that.griffinofozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08398766339639592747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994808805508641705.post-18551135791298884172015-12-30T21:46:00.000+10:002015-12-30T21:46:00.516+10:00My 30 years of Transformers - Display Case 34Today is Display Case 34 (of 37), spanning 11 years of Alternators,

break from the regular toy shelves, by featuring the Display Cases
that contain non-toy Transformers things... plus, two new panorama
photos of the two toy rooms.<br />
<br />
First up, Display Case 19, which is a BigW store display for the 2011
Movie, which contains the three years of SDCC GIJoe Transformers
(2011-2013) and empty packaging.<br />
The Optimus truck store display is entirely cardboard, and Hasbro
produced them for the various BigW stores around the country. I tried
to secure one from four different stores, and only one store ended up
contacting me to come and get it when the promotion was over.
Unfortunately, this was a smaller BigW store, so they only had one
Trailer portion - most stores had two, to give it a full trailer. (mine
looks a bit like a deformed toy, like Botshots or Q-Transformers)<br />
<br />

Eyes & Baroness plus Ravage, Blaster & 3 cassettes <br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
TOTAL TOYS FOR DISPLAY CASE = 13 <br />
<br />
<br />
Next is Display Case 20, which is actually two Display Cases, but since
they only contain comics, CDs, DVDs, books and boardgames, it wasn't
necessary to have them fully documented as separate Display Cases.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/c20.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Top of display case - empty packaging. <br />

<br />
And finally for today, the two new panorama photos I took on the weekend.<br />
These are small versions, as the full-size versions are rather large... but can be accessed <a href="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/r13.jpg" target="_blank">here for Room 1</a>, and <a href="http://www.toycollectors.com.au/collections/griffinofoz/r15.jpg" target="_blank">here for Room 2</a>.<br />
