Ever since I was a wee little boy, I was fascinated by collectibles.

I have my family to blame. They are all collectors in some way.
My sister's old dollar notes and stamps, my parent's vodka collections and my brother's museum of toys.

These have always inspired me to start my own collection someday.

2007 was the year I started collecting toys. It was around that year that Transformers came out. Watching the big ass robots in the big screen blew my tiny mind. I instantly became a fan of the movies.

I was 10 years in age. So what does a kid wants after something they enjoy? Toys. Begged my parents for the biggest and baddest transformers toy but it was expensive as @$!#. That's when something caught my eye, a small tiny transformers that cost around $10 (Autobot Jazz). Bought it. Awesome.

There is one that I really really wanted but it was sold out everywhere, Bumblebee.

Visiting toy store once a week hoping to spot that legendary toy. But couldn't find it. Until one day, while walking through Toys R Us. I saw it. However it come as a set of 6. (Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Jazz, Starscream & Barricade). My parents knew how must I wanted them so they got it for me. In a snap of a finger (more like swipe of a card), My Jazz have some new friends.

I guess the experience of not able to find bumblebee on the day of release somehow scarred me. After every release of a new Transformers movie I will buy Bumblebee in a heartbeat. No second thoughts.

I have almost all different versions of bumblebee. Did not bother with the new ones, their build quality became shit and every other bumblebees are just simple repaints. It's disgusting

I also start saving up for bigger versions.

Collecting all this Transformers bought me tons of joy. And it introduces me to a whole new hobby. A very expensive hobby.

I started collecting other Toys, Figurines, Models.

Gunplas, Funko Pops, Model cars are just some of the items I am proud to own.

It all start with the transformers toys. That's why they are all my precious and will have a special place in my heart.
