I went in to buy one Deluxe and got Bumblebee, Barricade, Leader Optimus and an Optimus keychain.

My Bumblebee was defective so I went to return it and I got Voyager Starscream and Blackout and Robovision Optimus Prime.

My wife was like "You have to be kidding me."
However I am going to send her the picture Sami posted to show her how much I wanted to get.  

 

I try to pace myself too. Thought for a while I was going to go crazy on Bumblebee stuff this summer only to realize there were only a few toys of him I really wanted so I'm sticking to those. Honestly, I think I'm going to avoid the toy stores for a while until I know '08 Bee is out. I don't want to be spending the money I've set aside for certain figures I KNOW I want only to walk in to TRU or Target when I know they're not there and be tempted to walk away with something else instead. So until the ones I really want come out I 'll just play with the ones I already have. Besides, how else am I going to save up for MP Megs, Screamer, and Skywarp.

 

Yeah, erm, pacing....

I've spent close to $280, which got me the following -

Movie Deluxes
-74’ Bumblebee
-Jazz
-Brawl
-Barricade
-Bonecrusher
-Wreckage

Movie Voyagers
-Blackout
-Ironhide
-Ratchet
-Starscream
-"Robovision" Optimus Prime

Movie Leaders
-Optimus Prime

Movie Scouts
-Hardtop (Target exclusive)


Real Gear Figures
-Longview
-Booster X10
-Zoom Out 25x
-Speed Dial 800
-Spy Shot 6

Other
-Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet (Cullen version)

So that's about 18 figures and 1 novelty item. Aside from one or two more of the movie scouts, Deluxe '08 BB, the Real Gear watch TF and some of the Robot Replicas thats all I really plan on getting.

Besides, it's all that my wallet will allow. It cries.

 

i know a place near me that will have transformers monopoly

 

I bought Ironhide, Blackout, Jazz and Starscream, my friend picked up monoply 3 weeks ago lol
I want at least 1 of each tf in the movie, have leader megs on order

 

ive overspent a bit too, oh dear.

now i will have to offer teh buttsecks to pay for botcon excusives.

.....anyone?

 

Hmmm let me think. Mmm, nnnnnnno.


I figure I have spent about $200. Not bad, I feel like I got a lot of stuff for the money.

 

i'm at...150 i think. prolly get prime blaster after this. then some TF books.

waiting for cullen helmet to show up. dammit!

p.s. pm me for teh buttsecks*

*not really

 

No regrets ever! At least when it comes to Transformers!  

 

Not even Armada Sideswipe?


Anyway, I feel that the movie figures I've gotten so far are worth every penny.

 

Maybe not for you.

In some ways, I'm still paying for BotCon 2002. Yikes.

 

Yikes indeed. I feel for you, really. I hope your future gets more profitable.

The only TF that came close to regret was BM Nightscream, but at least I bought it second-hand. I've since learned to appreciate even him.

 

Dear God man! Have you lost ur mind?!?! Did you leave money for food?!?

 

More than enough. Thank you for your concern.

 

I got 4, In the 3 days they've been out!

Barricade, LOC-Movie Jazz, Ratchet, & Booster x 10!

 

Looks like you fell victim to that old "your face will freeze like that" saying.  

 

lol at backscatters pic in the aisle

oh man i just picked up some more, think im at 200 now. halp!

 

Yeah I didn't pick up Ratchet. Now that I have read some good reviews, I might pick it up this week, Swindle too. I am waiting to take my daughter, she wants me to get Ratchet, she calls him "The Mystery Machine Transformer".

 

That's crazy talk

 

Dam did some of yall win the lottery or something.

BB '76' ,BB'08',Ironhide,Jazz,Swindel and Leader Prime are all I care for in this line.About $100 tops.
