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. |

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. |

#3 | | I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title. Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 11,724 Location: Lansing Michigan Collection Count: 486 News Credits: 2 | 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. |

Join Date: Jul 2004 Posts: 9,350 Location: the filthy nasty dirty south...BR, Louisiana Collection Count: never have bothered to count | 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. |

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

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. |
