    Since we're in the final month of 2015 and preorders for 2016 pieces are amassing, I figured a 2016 Spending Thread was probably needed. I didn't see one created, so my apologies if there already is one.

    I've given up trying to budget out Transformers purchases. Instead, I've decided to just focus on specific lines and pieces. My main focus is Masterpiece and that will be be my sole line for 2016. I'm also focusing on finishing up my TF and Animated collections this year, along with collecting pieces of specific characters (Swipe, Jazz, Sunny and a few others).
    Extra funds have been put aside for any extra goodies; like QT, a couple Combiners and a few 3rd party.

    So far, I've managed to stick with my plan.

    January

    MP Ironhide
    QT Ironhide
    QT Jetfire
    CW Smokescreen
    LG13 Megs
    MP Acid Storm

    February

    MP Hot Rod (x2)
    MP Ultra Magnus
    CW Leader TC
    TT Sprung
    MP Sunstorm

    March

    MP Shockwave
    MP Ramjet
    E-Hobby Deadlock
    MP Tiger Track
    TAV Fixit

    April

    MP Ratchet (x2)

    May

    MP Wheeljack
    TAV Dogfight vs TAV Runamuck
    LG Skids

    Since I really don't consider the QTs major purchases at 11.00 a pop, I have only 2 big purchases outside the MP line (SpinOut and the TAV 2 Pack, which I'm buying soley for Runamuck).

    I haven't spent anything in 2016 yet... ;) 


    ...although I do have a few preorders that aren't due until then.

    Well, I was originally going to go light on Titans Return but the siren's call is making me rethink that. Definately getting Galvatron and I am up in the air on Sentinel... I love the Prime Legacy but I also know this mold will get an Astrotrain redeco... but Astro has never had a special place in my heart. Onslaught will be here before 2015 so he doesn't count but I am getting Sky Lynx to finish up my own Sky Reign custom (made up of Lynx, First Aid, Rook, Alpha Bravo, and Prowl).

    After that it depends what new things we get.

    So far,

    UW-05 Convoy Grand Prime
    UW-06 Grand Galvatron
    CW Sky Lynx + CW wave 6
    3P Predaking
    MT Quantron re-release

    and misc 3P upgrade kits.

    I have absolutely no interest in Titans Return, outside of Galvatron. Still leaning heavily towards Mania King.

    mania king is great you should pick it up

    I don't know how much i'll spend since I don't know a lot of whats coming out in 2016

    i'm not picking up many of the titans return line, I am the odd ball that prefers g1 headmasters. I don't have room for a fort max, so I wont be getting that. I do know I am getting sky lynx, the 4 different "just the heads" and a bunch of 3rd party stuff (PLANET X DINOBOTS YO!!!!)and the combaticons, prolly the takara version though.

    I spent about 2K-2500 this year, i'll probably spend about 1200 next year.

    I'm seriously tired of the 1986/movie characters, so with Titans Return indicating more 1987/88 characters - Hardhead, Skullkruncher and PMOP already looking great - I am saving up for potential Horrorcons and more "Powermaster" characters.

    I'm undecided on Titan Wars...have to wait and see what they show at Toy Fair and what holes I have in the collection for TW to fill...

    3rd party is pretty much FP Highbrow, TFC Liokaiser, TFC Piranacon, the rest of Dinoking, Spinout...we'll see how much that jumps but for now that's it.

    Then there's my kaiju stuff and the wallet crusher as X-Plus rereleases Space Godzilla, Titanosaurus, Rodan, Mothra, Baragon, Kiryu, and Biollante at the very least (Still hoping for Megalon!)...not including their monthly regular Ultraman and Godzilla offerings...

    I started tracking my Transformers purchases in 2013. My total expenditures for the year amounted to over $6500.
    In 2014, they exceeded $7000.

    Last year, my total came to $8167.

    How much will I spend this year? :eek:

    2016 looks like it will be another expensive year!

    CW Sky Lynx, G2 Superion, G2 Menasor and hopefully G2 Defensor. Maybe G2 Bruticus (may just stick with FOC G2 Combaticons)
    Titans Returns Fortress Maximus (and all the 3rd party upgrades for it)
    TR Galvatron, Powermaster Prime, Sentinel Prime, Horribull and Squeezeplay (even if the latter two are just the heads)
    TCC Subscription Service 4.0
    Fansproject Browning II (Highbrow) and their Apeface and Snapdragon. The rest of the Saurus combiner (Dinoking). Maybe FP Monstructor
    TFC Hades (Liokaiser)
    TFC Poseidon (Piranacon)
    MMC Carnifex (Overlord)

    I've also put off getting Unite Warriors Devastator, MP Road Rage, Planet X Vulcan (FOC Grimlock) this year because of too many Christmas purchases but plan on getting them next year.
