Dabbuu, that's an incredible collection to look through. Does anyone have that cassette put to mp3 format? I had no idea that existed.

I was wondering the same thing. Is it a book-on-tape or what?

[lhssenior]

I've got one but still have it sealed. If I win the one currently on eBay I am willing to open it if someone has the capability to copy it to digital format, taking one for the team if you will. If I had to guess it is terrible and sounds ridiculous but that's just based on the era haha!

p.s. - this means if people want to hear it, please don't bid it up to high as I'm not willing to pay through the nose to rip it open If anyone wants this for their own collection, I'm not going to put up much of a struggle.

Nice! Where did you come across your yellow and blue drills? I still need those two elusive pieces!

I still need those two bastards myself. Not willing to pay a $G though. I will always kick myself in the ass for trading my yellow drill to roland13

[Red Marauder]

Nice set of drills. And you don't hear that said very often.

[lhssenior]

Indeed, that blue one sure is pretty

I've got two each of all the others but have never even seen a blue one up for grabs anywhere before!

It is so cool to see such nice sets and pieces. Thanks guys!

It's threads like these that make me want to take everything out of storage... stack it up, and get a photo to post

Top 10 BB/LB collector LRG members in no particular order due to secrecy of complete collections.
A few more collectors I'm not aware of their collections enough to warrant inclusion.

I Haven't made it onto the top 10 list yet. May take me quite a while yet.
If anyone is disappointed in making the list I can help you out.

I wonder how many are in Japan. There must be several sets there...

[TOPHER]

One collecter from Japan told me BBs weren't
very popular when he was in gradeschool.
Maybe years later that generation realized
that BBs were cool and started collecting them now.
Or collecting them to make a profit knowing there
is an American/global demand for them??
Guess I'm one away(missing #110)from being 12th on that list.

I recall a few members within the last 5 years who completed 112 sets. It seems once they traded and got what they wanted they left the forums. We'll never really know if they still have their pieces or sold them off. My guess is there are way less then 20 112+ sets out there complete with weapons. There are some very close sets augmented with extremely rare pieces too.

In the end, you gotta do it 'cause you gotta do it! I think adding something unique to a collection is way cool; having complete SDs, Jump Ups, boxes, MOC sets, War Monsters/bootlegs, Greeks, premiums, rare vehicles, etc.

There are more then 20 complete 112 sets.
I would go as far to say there are 40-50 complete 112 sets worldwide in collectors hands.
I'm sure their are several dozen or so collectors in China & Japan that due not frequent our English speaking forum.

What puts people collections over the top is the unique pieces you stated.
Even including your amazing Custom SD set. I bet it would fetch quite a price if auctioned.

[JonnyPac]

Yeah, I'm sure you are right...

There is also a lot of action on the Facebook Les Dragonautes (battle beasts)fan group. I see all kinds of cool things pop up there, but I can't read it in French. Trumanshower is among them.

For sure... I have not considered selling them though!
