Where are the real fans?

I keep hearing some say that theyll only get certain characters and skip on the others and that they dont like how one looks so they wont get it. Cmon, if your a die hard fan, you get everything you can. I for example am going to get not only the toys but also the bike, bed set and maybe the trunks for the future kiddo I have. Die hard fans are supposed to want to have a complete set of what ever it is. I used to pass on some stuff especially with the Beast Wars line and I regret it now.

I'm sorry but I'm no turbonerd and don't plan on wasting money on things I don't want regardless of completion or not.

If I don't like it, I'm not going to buy it. Simple as that.

I also have other obligations in my life that preceeds toys as well.

I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title.

dont try to define what a "real fan" is. its a stupid thing to do.

a person who owns one transformer can be just as hardcore and die-hard of a fan as someone who has the entire G1 series MISB and loose and every show character signed by their respective US and Japanese voice actors.

some people choose to take it to a different level than others. it doesnt make them more of a fan or anyone who doesnt share their same views on collecting less of a fan.

Uh uh...the measure of a true fan is not in how much money spend for Hasbro. To call someone or yourself a 'true fan' is both pointless and meaningless.

Edit: listen to Razor and Val, bringing out the 'true fan' card is the easiest way to be universally hated on this and any board.

Michael Bay may not have raped my childhood, but I think he may have molested it.

So somebody that only saw the original series and never paid attention to any other TF series and goes to see the movie is just as a die hard fan as one that can tell you the shoe size of every autobot and decepticon?

Is being a die hard fan something to be proud of these days? I take that as a sign that they have no life outside their hobby.

Seriously who are you or anyone else to judge who or what is a fan is or isn't?

We've seen far too many of these "Holier than thou because of _______" threads.

It gets old really fast.

But what does that have to do with spending money on every piece of merchandise without consideration?

Well, every one is a die hard fan of something and that doesnt mean that their lives stop because of that hobby. *Its very closeminded to think that* And this thread can only get as ugly as people want it to get. If the supervisors think it will, then go ahead and close it as I was just wanting to get input and boasting from those that are fans, not dismissive and condesending comments from those that are haters.
