    I really enjoyed doing the "How much are you spending in 2014" thread, what the heck? Let's have another one!

    I know it's a bit early, but still, close enough.

    I spent under $300 of my own money last year, and I'm curious to see if I'll spend more or less this coming year, since there's no movie toys, and I really only want Bee from the RID2 line.

    Drastically reduced from my 30th anniversary celebration binge, something close to $5000+. This year No 3rd party, no movie verse, no retro collecting and no expensive imports, ie TakaraTomy. What I will be collecting is Hasbro Combiner Wars, and the Masterpiece line. So I'm hoping for a year that is under $1,000 as my resolution.

    Wow, that's some impressive self control. Wish I could say the same about this past year, but I played catch-up on the MP line so there's no way I can.

    As for next year, I don't even want to think about the number. Thus far, I have MP Skywarp pre-ordered, and if the rumors are true about an MP Ironhide and Ratchet, I'll be getting them too. Also, combiner wars looks amazing, so that will be on my radar. Needless to say, I'm sure my sanity will be questioned by those closest to me.

    Oh, wait, it already is!

    When the regular Combiner Wars hit retail I plan on getting all of the following.

    CW Superion Set about $100
    CW Menasor Set about $100
    CW Voyager Optimus Prime $25
    Leader Thundercracker about $45
    Leader Megatron about $45 (not sure which version of G1 deco or Armada)
    Masterpieces $? (will have to wait and see what they have)
    RID 2015 Grimlock $? (any size they come out with)
    RID 2015 Dinobots $? (I seriously doubt Hasbro only plans to do just Grimlock)
    The Rumored Leader Ultra Magnus $45? (not sure if this is just somebodies idea of a joke)


    As for the rest of the RID2015 line I have 0% interest in getting anything else,the line is just plain at best like Playskool versions.Finally it depends on what they reveal at ToyFair and Botcon.

    So far from whats been announced I plan on getting CW Superion, Menasor, Powerglide, Bombshell, Windcharger, Huffer & Blackjack and RID Strong Arm...and with later waves to include the Protectobots and my usually 3-4 picks from the Botcon offerings...I'd say around $600 or so...that'll obviously change once more is announced...rumored Constructicons and Ultra Magnus would take me up another $200 or so...

    [EDIT] Will likely be hunting down the TF Adventure versions of Bombshell & Shrapnel...as well as BH Dreadwing...

    2015's spending will depend on what ELSE is announced. But so far:

    $220 - Completing Warbotron Bruticus
    $450 - Completing UT Abominus
    $200 - Completing TFC Defensor
    $150 - Appolyon
    $190 - Soar
    $180 - Sever
    $85 - Invisible
    $35 - Warden add-on
    $110 - SXS Blurr
    $155 - Dx9 Astrotrain
    $235 - Gattaiger chogokin
    $50 - TFCC Carzap
    $80 - TFCC Krok
    $25 - CW Optimus
    $80 - MP Exhaust

    Right there I'm at about $2300

    So depending on what else from my wants we see it's already an expensive year...hoping for announcements and/or pre-orders to open on:

    CW recolors...we'll see what I end up getting (likely the Autobot recolors of the Stunticons and I hope we see a Decepticon version of Superion)

    Somebody to announce Liokaiser, Pirranacon and Raiden

    Toyworld - finish their Throttlebots and continue their Headmasters with Highbrow, Apeface and Snapdragon ($600ish)

    Fansproject - The rest of the Stunticons in G2 colors, The Diaclone Kingdam homage as well as Headmasters Siren, Minerva. Squeezeplay, Fangary, Horri-Bull, ($900ish, but realistically no way we see more than 1 or 2 of the Headmasters...so likely $600 IF they give us the rest of the Stunticons)

    Fanstoys - MP Sludge ($200ish)

    Maketoys - Monstructor ($400ish)

    Igear - Their seekers retooled as the Predators & Cyberjets ($600ish)

    (*IF* all those get released this year I'm looking at another 2000-3000...)

    Appolyon - paid.
    Soar - paid. (technically this year but I won't get him till the end of Jan)
    Exhaust - paid.
    Saber - paid.
    Sever.
    Wardog.
    Spinout.
    Whatever MP is announced.

    Technically half of my current list was paid for this year and I only know the cost of one of the figures I know I want. I'm sure there will be some surprise announcements that'll need to be added too but it's an odd situation.

    If everything on my 'want list' comes out in 2015, and nothing new is announced that I want, I'll be spending roughly $1500 assuming each of these items costs ~$100:

    FansProject Function X5, X6, X7, X8, LER03, LER04, LER05, LER06, Quickswitch
    MMC Felisaber, Seraph Prominion
    Unique Toys versions of Sinnertwin, Hun-Grrr and Cutthroat
    PE Deathstalker, Warden upgrade kit

    However, I think it's highly unlikely all of those things will be out next year, especially all of the FansProject items. I think a more realistic estimate is probably $950, which assumes two FP Headmasters, two FP Dinobots, FP Quickswitch, MMC Felisaber, the remaining UT Ordin components and the Warden upgrade set.

    I don't usually keep an annual Transformer budget, but for 2015 I might have to. Looking back at 2014 I think I definitely overspent: Ten Age of Extinction toys, eleven Generations Thrilling 30 toys and most recently three Robots in Disguise Warriors. Really though I'm holding out until Toy Fair 2015 in February when we'll hopefully see the third wave of Combiner Wars; I'd like to see if the rumours on the boards about Titan Devastator, Leader Ultra Magnus and Deluxe Prowl and Ironhide are actually true before I set the year's budget.

    I'm undecided about getting the full Aerialbot and Stunticon teams (I'm really only interested in the Stunticons becasue I like Motormaster and Dead End's alt modes), plus there are still a fair few toys from other lines I'm still searching for (Age of Extinction Voyager Hound and Takara Movie Advanced Dino) or waiting to become available (Movie Advanced Stinger).

    Both Hasbro and taktom femme bots are definites. Maybe some cw stuff, maybe brainstorm if I can find him out in the wild. I'm sure there will be some Kronoform and g1 action that comes along. I can't imagine spending more than $500. Those days are long gone.

    Probably no more than $200.
