I’ve known this for a while now, but Shout! is releasing the 25th Anniversary “Matrix of Leadership” Edition Collector’s Set! Set for Release on Oct 20th!

I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. As a kid I wanted all of these on VHS (!) so I could watch them over and over. I taped many TV eps from back in the G1 and G2 days. I was bored enough some time last year that I watched some, and what I’ve come to really treasure from the TV recordings are the commercials during the TF broadcast. Those are priceless. Maybe one day I’ll rip them and post over on Youtube.

But I’m getting off topic. Having a complete collection of G1 TV eps is a dream come true. Read here for all the juicy details. Asking price for the set is a little high, but I think it’s well worth it.

All TransFans mobilize and get his now… Transform and Roll Out!

Welcome to my Blog, Transformers Roll Out!  This is the very first post.  As a longtime Transformers fan and collector, this blog serves both as a homage to my favorite toys of all time and an update on what I’ve been doing as a TransFan.  Some items I have planned for this blog includes toy reviews, TF news, where I’ve been shopping, deals that I found, pictures of collections, and thoughts about life as a TransFan.

First on the agenda… Transformers is nominated for the National Toy Hall of Fame for 2009.  I think TFs winning this should be a no-brainer.  I don’t know who makes up the competition, but c’mon.  What other toyline has such a dedicated following, even after 25 years? Read here.

That’s it for now, but until next time… Transform and Roll Out!
