On this episode of TransMissions Extra!, we explore the collector phenomenon. We’re all subject to it to varying degrees with varying things (including Transformers). Is it a fun hobby and a healthy lifestyle or just a slippery slope away from being on the next episode of Hoarders? Darryl, Yoshi, and Charles talk about their collections and why they collect. Let us know in the comments what you prize most in your collections! Enjoy another installment of TransMissions Extra!
What is TransMissions: Extra!?
We usually spend the first 30 minutes of our TransMissions Skype call talking about other random topics before we record the main show. TransMissions Extra! is a more organized discussion of these topics recorded into a short podcast of its own. We hope you enjoy TransMissions Extra!

I have to admit I am bad a pulling a “Shelton” right now. As you guys know I collect nothing but the Transformers comics. My collection is sitting at 975 right now. Some of them are mulitiple covers and some are multiplies of the same issue. Mostly ones I like a lot and wanted a extra copy or two. I also have been currently looking at getting the 2nd and 3rd prints of some series. Mostly the original G1. Though I have been concentrating one getting more issues of issue 1. That is including the 2nd and 25th anniversary printings. I know is is kind of bad of me to be this particular, but to be honest it helps me. I mean this in the way that I have sever back problems. I had to have back surgery a about 3 years ago now and the surgery went fine though I have lost feeling in my left foot and have some nerve problems and muscle spasms because of it. Though this was to be expected. The surgery put metal screws and bolts in my lower back and helps me to walk .I had to have this done due to my last 3 disc were degenerating and my last disc L5 was already 65% gone from what the doc said. It did help though I have been having more issues over the last year.
Collecting comics and Transformers seems to help alot because it help me to focus on something. Being I can’t run or anything really physical it helps. Though the downside is I can’t play or run with my 2 little girls and it absolutely breaks my heart that I can’t do that stuff with them. The times I can I am normally have so much pain meds in me it crazy.
I also love listening to you guys week to week. Something about your show helps as well. I think it mostly the comradery you guys guys when it comes to Transformers. I honestly have only 1 maybe 2 others here in my area who share the love of TFs. Those being a fellow collector and my oldest daughter who is just getting into liking it thanks to Rescuebots.
To this I just want to say thanks for such a great show guys!!! And please keep up the great work.
