Nice! Snowcat rules! Even with its dodgy, just-begging-to-be-broken design, it's still a classic. Here are mine. I still need a Tiger Cat to replace the one i lost in my youth. I have TF Frostbite ready to go!

Love em!! Super white. When I was a kid I would think how cool it would be to drive around my neighborhood with my friends in one. Ha.

One of my favorites back when I was a kid.

Mine too. This, cobra wolf, Cobra rattler, Vamp II. That’s my fleet. 

It’s been awhile since I bought any VALIANT. It still amazes me how reasonable the prices are on these books. I always come back to my first comic love. 

Haha. Merman is the best. When I was looking to get one, his face had to look good.

Florida real estate is starting to become eye opening.  Our neighborhood went from $250K a few years ago for a 3/2/2 to over $400K now.  If people keep moving down (as all demographic reports say they are) and we start to see California prices here, I will sell, move up a few states in the SE, buy a house for cash,  get a job at Barnes & Noble, and live happily ever after. 

I’m in the same boat. My wife and I bought our house the last week of 2012 and the value has exploded in my area. As you say, time to sell and move a couple states up, buy a new ocean front condo for cash and fade off into the sunset. If I can sell my whole comic collection at once too! Well then that would be nice.

Great looking set up!
 

Not sure if it's complete, but this checklist at Transformerland may give you a head start. I've used them a lot in the past for IDing parts for Transformers. As for value, nothing here, but I'd recommend using this list to find the ones you're interested in, and do a search on ebay for completed listings. That's usually the best way to gauge general value these days. Good luck!

Thank you and thank you. 

I need some advice/knowledge about Battle Beasts. I have two book cases in my cave. Each has four shelves. I am dedicating each shelf to a toy that I played with as a kid. I have one shelf left and I want to display some Battle Beasts. I do not own any currently. Here is what I know about them so far. They were produced in Japan in the mid 80’s and distributed by Hasbro here. I know there are three series and an extra series called laser beasts. There are a ton of them. Outside of Wikipedia, is there a place to see all the options? Which ones have value or rarity? Here are a couple pics of my displays I’m working on.

Depends which one you really want. If you want the first in book (aside from 300) then get the 299 so long as the label says Venom Cameo.

Personally, as it's gonna be slabbed and I wont (be able to) open the book I'd go for 316. 1st cover and great to look at.

And then Lethal Protector #1

Agreed. I think 316 is the book. Especially graded. Hedge your bets and just get 252,298,299,300,316, and SW8.

Haha. Gotta have a 9.8 and NM raw as a backup

Different strokes for different folks. I have never understood the attraction of NASCAR; I know it is VERY popular, but I don't understand why.

As to the Beatles, if you can't find at least one Beatles song that you like, I just don't know what to say to you.

Haha. For sure. And I like a couple Beatles songs in reality. I’m gonna give the FF an honest try again. I think next up are issues 50,55,72. They are just too important to ignore.

That's Blasphemy!  JK That is an amazing cover and presents very well, love the reds!

Thanks. It looks like a new comic off the rack. Bright and glossy.

I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when @KirbyJack reads this post.

Ha. I have tried many times to get into Fantastic Four. My favorite characters are Cap and Wolverine, so I love Avengers and X-men. I know I should like them but I just can’t get there. Kinda like NASCAR and the Beatles. 
 

Avengers 4 CGC 9.6

Hulk 181 CGC 9.8

GSX1 CGC 9.8
ASM 129 CGC 9.8

I think I could get all these with that type of money. 

Rai 0. It has a first appearance of a major character, a cool cover, and almost every character from the. VALIANT universe. 

Came in today.
