Master Collector was the monthly newsprint classified ad sheet from Fun Publications. All members of the Official Transformers Collectors' Club received a subscription to Master Collector as part of their membership. The bulk of each issue was given over to classified ads from private and professional toy sellers, largely G.I. Joe and Transformers. Full-page print ads also promoted current Hasbro toys, toy dealers, and various club-exclusive toys, like the forever-lingering Decent into Evil box set.
Every other month, the Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club magazine was bound between the pages of Master Collector.
Fun Publications released Master Collector in print from 1993, until January 2010, when print publication ceased with Volume 18, issue #1. It will be replaced by an online auction system, which experts expect to be "like eBay was fifteen years ago". Despite Fun Publications now printing 66% less material, and halving the amount of postage they do, and charging members to use the upcoming online auction site, club membership costs have not gone down! Isn't like funny like that?
