    I'm 17...starting senior year of high school tomorrow(I feel old...), so Transformers may get on the back-burner for a while due to senior dues & whatnot.

    I'm 24, and started with the third party stuff when Warbot Defender was still about $80. There's no way I can truly afford every single item out there, but then I don't want them all. As for the ones I can manage to get? It helps to an extent when a movie line is out, especially when it's stalled. Nothing against movie toys, as I have and like quite a few of them, just when there's nothing new to buy in stores there's nothing new to buy.

    What? So when G1 happened you must have felt like we all do now with 3P happening.

    Yes, I was wondering why they were making my Diakron figures in the wrong colors and without drivers.

    29yr old. I am a Heavy collector or 3P and classics. Because as a child my parents didn't have much til I was a teen and just getting back into TFs but then Beast Wars were in full swing. Now I can have my fav characters with either Hasbro or a 3P company making them.

    But for the next foreseeable time 3P will be getting most of my money.

    Pretty much took over where alternators left off.
