Gray's Matter - "It's the end of the road, Galvatron..." (Justice Gray's blog)

Those of you who know me fairly well are aware that I have a very large collection of Transformers. By very large I do not mean "relatively sizable"; by very large I mean "quasi 40 year-old virgin". Originally, I shared my office with the Transformers and all was harmonious. However, marriage and Mrs. Loquacious' return to school had created a bit of a problem: there was no longer room for both Mrs. L and I to do our work. There would be space at the other desk for her laptop, which would allow us to work together - but that would mean the Transformers would need to be placed elsewhere.

Either the Transformers needed to be moved, or Mrs. L needed to be moved - the classic impossible decision.

After realizing I probably couldn't keep Mrs. L in our storage room for very long before she would need food and water, I began packing up part of my glorious collection of nostalgia. But before I started packing them away, I took some photographs for posterity:

Sad, tragic times indeed. (And yes, for those wondering, that is a giraffe Transformer in the left box. They made some crazy stuff in Japan.)

Oh man, that is awe-inspiring. I don't believe your wife didn't let you keep that. Seriously, those transformers would look amazing beside the good china when the in laws come.

Ever thought of selling them? I'm actually collecting transformers right now.

Collecting Transformers == a terribly worthwhile hobby!

I've thought about selling them a couple of times - but I still have residual scarring from when I sold my original Predaking for $10 at a garage sale...
