    I wait 3 days. If I still want it, I buy it.

    I usually go with my initial impression based on seeing a decent set of pictures or actually looking at one in a store.
    Popular forum opinions don't influence me in the slightest and if I decide something isn't worth my money then there's little chance of me doing a U-turn.

    My method is simple:

    1. Is it a favorite character of mine?
    2. Do I like the way it looks?

    you too! jk, but is it just me or does Starscream seem to threaten you into taking him home??? (holds cannon to her head) -be quite organic, and clear a nice space on your shelf. I need a take off platform, and a nice room of my own-

    Exactly This. I check out reviews of figures im interested in, but sometimes i see something in person and i buy it just because im curious.

    I generaly like the biggest TFs i can get. I only bought rotf Soundwave because... well he's Soundwave.
    I also look for good poseability. Soon I'll just be buying all I can get my hands on for a huge MISB collection.
