My Hobby History - Part I

Hi there.. juz wanna try out my 1st blogging.. out of boring sunday morning.. how to start eh.. hhhmm.. let me c..

let me start wif my past time hobby.. collecting figurines namely The Transformers figures..
i started out to love this figures when i was a small kid.. that time our local TV station did aired the Generation 1 Transformers series every week. So, every week i catch up wif that show and never miss out any single episode.. the best thing was u had the chance to win some TF figures by participating a contest which will be asked rite after the TF show ended.. i did try a couple of time.. but wif no luck, my name wasn't announced everytime i waited for the host to say out the weekly winner... ever since then i tried to own my TF figures by purchasing it from the departmental store.. one of the figure i bought.. actually not i bought.. it was given to me by my uncle when i followed he and his family to Fajar Supermarket (now is known as The Store). lucky me, he offered me to choose anything that i wanted during the shopping.. without having 2nd tot.. i landed my hand on the transformable helicopter robot called Rotorstorm from the G1 series

Rotorstorm is a European exclusive Transformer Turbomaster that wasn't released in the US until it was repainted as Machine Wars Sandstorm and Universe Whirl.

If i am not mistaken, this figure was cost around RM24.90 at that time, but if some one would like to own this pearl now.. the price will be easily reach RM300.. madness.. but that's the value of G1 TF because they are no longer in production , so the older the TF series is, the more expensive it would be. frankly speaking, some collector insanely jack up the price 5 or 10 time higher than the retail price... but sad to say, once this figure used to be in my room.. now.. dunno gone to where ad... must been 'donated' to my cousin or end up in the rubish bin.. can't remember...
Another old figures that i owned before is from the G1 series also..called Blitzwing.. the triple changer.. can change from battle tank to aeroplane and robot mode...

And the last figure i had was a transformable aeroplane in yellow color.. but i dunno what was the name.. it seem like i cant find the pic anywhere in the TF fandom site.. nvm.. i think that's all i like to tok about my hobby history.. will continue later on when i have some free time to review more on my current collections...

To be continued in Part II
