Does anyone know how/where to find those Fun Publications comics with Nexus Prime?

The first reported retail sightings of Transformers: Classics came in around late September/early October 2006.

Happy 10th anniversary!

Transformers: Classics was a filler line, designed to bridge that gap between Transformers: Cybertron and the 2007 movie franchise.  Its popularity was unprecedented, and since then we’ve had a number of large heritage toylines, most recently Combiner Wars and Titans Return.

Classics’s 10th anniversary means a lot to me personally as well.  I was gifted Jetfire for my birthday in 2007.  He was my first toy as an adult collector, and the bug that bit me to complete the rest of the collection.  I remember sitting in an internet café in 2007 or 2008 getting excited over the then-upcoming Universe toy reveals.  An imported Henkei Megatron was one of the first things I ever ordered by myself over eBay.  I still have the order confirmation email from 2009 when I finally found Optimus and Grimlock.  I had the full roster of new molds (a mixed Classics and Henkei collection) before I ever had my own personal computer.  These are toys that saw me transition into adulthood.

Here’s to ten years more!
