I bought Alt Dead End today BECAUSE IT WAS THERE!

 

THIS! I found him once,and passed on him to get Shockwave. Then I found the same one,but only had 10 bucks,so I got Dotm Jolt. I haven't seen him(or SW for that matter) since

 

I bought Gen. Kup just so DOTM Megatron could have a shotgun.

I have always wanted a Restraining Order Scorponok (Stalker Scorponok) just because of his name though...

 

I bought the poor Stalker Scorponok because he was shelfwarming Bi-Mart.

He's a great figure, and I don't regret buying him.

 

Also for future reference, "because Vangelus told us to" isn't a stupid reason at all.

 

Really? Do we really need a "reason" to buy toys?   Last night I was bored so I started trawling Ebay - I ended up buying a bunch of SW Lego sets & SW Mini-figs. Just keep burning that money...  

 

reason 1: color. i will automatically have to own any TF that is green. i knew nothing of acidstorm but saw there was a green starscream, and thus had to own it. same with hailstorm. and G2 dinobot whose name i cant recall.

reason 2: felt sorry for poor toy that has been on shelf forever. although some of my best purchases have been pity ones. i <3 terradive now. and the PCC too.

reason 3: the toy told me to!

 

I've gone though this as well, but one of the ways I've been able to fight it is by telling myself that by leaving it on the shelf, I'm in turn making that toy available to someone who might actually want it.

Not that there's anything wrong with swinging the other way, but you know. Options are good.  

 

Hasbro MP Rodimus for the Targetmaster Offshoot.

Wasn't sure on the "Masterpiece" as well... While the design looked pretty good, I never cared for Rodimus... and I heard a little about his fragility.

Now I just find Rodimus irritating to look at. Watching peaugh's usual optimistic review didn't help at all. Every other sentence of him saying "be careful" is well warranted. The damn thing looks like he's about to break just by looking at him funny.

 

I wanted extras/doubles of figures to bring into work (mostly Cyberverse). Only problem is, everyone at work is a damn klepto so I haven't actually brought any figures to the office at all yet. XD

 

Thought movie figs would look good with my chug figs... stupid

 

You should like, get a really big one & glue him to your desk. Then, chain a bunch of your little ones to that guy (sort of like they're on a leash). That way, you'll have functional security that'll hopefully repel the kleptos.

 

I once bought the Leader Nightwatch Optimus Prime because his colors were the same as that of the logo of the company I worked for then. I had him solely to stand on my desk and hold my business cards. Less than a week someone had stolen him but left the business cards on my desk.   It was the most expensive business card holder I ever bought.  

 

Yeah, they could've at least taken a business card while they were at it...

 

I bought Ejector because he was a toaster.
I've never seen a toaster that looked like that.
I could have just bought a 12 pack.

 

Exactly! lol.

 

Ejector is a toaster. End of story. Everything else I've carefully considered before I bought it.

 

RTS Deep Dive: Because my fiancee grabbed him and wouldn't let him go until I pulled out my ATM card.

RTS Strafe: Because I felt Sunspot needed a buddy.

 

Oh, and Wreck-Gar (Both Animated and Classics): Weird Al. Hell yeah.

 

Oh, forgot DOTM Wal-Mart exclusive Sideswipe: Because, even though I already owned ROTF Sideswipe and ROTF Swerve, anything with that garish of a color scheme belongs on my shelf. Same reason I bought Terradive at first, too.
