Well guys,here we are 6 months into 2016 and I have figured up how much I have spent this year,and this is with tax and shipping included,also this is just for the first 6 months,not the last 6.So my grand total for everything including 3rd Party TF's is: $1671.48 Now you ask what I have spent that much on,well the short answer would be Singles & Doubles on Masterpieces,Unite Warriors,Combiner Wars,& 3rd Party TF's (mostly MP Style). Alas I have not counted the stuff I have not gotten yet like FT15 Willis (Hound) or UW07 Bruticus x2,those will count for the last 6 months.But I will say the last half is shaping up to be Brutally Expensive since there are about 50some figures I have preordered at different site,compare that to half that for the first 6 months.God This Hobby Is Expensive.
Okay guys,this is now my Last 6 Months List of everything I plan on getting.Oh and this is an ongoing list,so its subject to change. Takara Unite Warriors Bruticus Set X2 $135 each = $270 Takara Unite Warriors Computron Set $135 Hasbro Combiner Wars Victorion Set $100 (already have 1 set) Takara Legends Fortress Maximus X2 (1@ 227.50 & 1@ 230.00)= $457.50 Hasbro Titans Return Wave 1 Case of 8 Deluxes $135 Hasbro Titans Return Wave 2 Case of 8 Deluxes $130 Hasbro Titans Return Legends Wheelie X2 $13 each Hasbro Titans Return Titan Masters X1 of each Wave so $44.00 for 8 Masterpiece MP11NT Thrust $180 Masterpiece MP32 Optimus Primal $120 Masterpiece MP33 Inferno $?? (undecided if I'm gonna get him or not) Masterpiece MP34 Cheetor $?? (release date unknown) FansToys FT15 Willis (Hound) $95 FansToys FT08 Grinder (Grimlock) $200 (date under scrutiny since people are saying Spring 2017) So with that done,my total for the last 6 months comes to $1892.50 not counting shipping,oh and taking MP33,MP34,FansToys Grinder into account that total may be more or less depending on release so between $1600 to $2000.This is one expensive year to be a Transformers Fan.
I'm suprisingly not straying too far from my 2016 budget plan. So far this year, I've bought/preordered: MP Ironhide QT Hide QT Jetfire MP Hot Rod (2) MP Ultra Magnus (my 2nd) MP Shockwave MP Ratchet (2) Deadlock MP Wheeljack (my 2nd) LG Skids LG Sprung QT Ratchet G2 Superion Thrilling 30 Jetfire Prime Dark Energon Knockout RiD Slipstream and Jetstorm Spinout UW Devy MP LoudPedal GT J4ZZ MP Delta Magnus MP Red Alert+ LG Fort Max MP Inferno Unicron Sunsurge I also plan on preordering MP Cheetor, when he goes up. Still may pick up Victorion and Bruticus.
So far I've bought this year... CW... Onslaught, Shockwave, Deluxe Groove, Wheeljack, Hound, Smokescreen, Trailbreaker RiD15... Fracture, Quillfire, Thunderhoof And while I did place the order last year I've so far gotten Needlenose, Ruckus, Spinister, & Windsweeper from Fun Pub as well as Ramjet.

I can't believe how much I've spent on transformers this year. Combiner Wars and sales really skyrocketed my spending. Combiner Wars really opened the floodgates though. I also purchased my first masterpiece figures this year, after many years of holding off. - CW Bruticus with Shockwave and the PE kit - UW Devestator (on sale) and the DNA upgrade kit - CW Groove (retail price, whew!) - Takara CW Ultra Magnus - MP-12 with coin (ebay) - MP-28 with coin - MP-25 with coin (on sale) - CW smokescreen, Hound, Trailbreaker, and Wheeljack (as a set off ebay. Think I paid 65 for all four including shipping.) - The reprolabels sets for those 4, b/c most of their decos suck, and got the 1 cent set for MP-28. Although, I don't think I'll be using the Hot Rod stickers. - Bought a bunch of stuff off shapeways for Carry and cloud Rodimus (guns, spoilers, wind vanes, etc). - TR Wheelie - TR Rewind Upcoming Purchases: Titans Return Rodimus (whichever version of him looks better) Hasbro MP-10 (cheapest I can find) The upgrade kit for Takara Magnus I may get the takara version of TR Blurr, Chromedome, and Brainstorm. Maybe. Doubtful.....I'm not a fan of the headmaster gimmick. Never was. These dudes do look good though. Now, if I only had the room for all these guys.....
Now that almost everything everything due to be released in 2016 has likely been revealed, I figured I'd total up my expenditures: MP Ramjet - $180 MP Shockwave - $160 5x PE sets - $165 LG19 Springer - $45 MP Hot Rod - $75 TG29 Sandstorm - $39 Gen Jetfire - $35 Gen Sky Lynx - $35 MP Ironhide - $90 CW Wave 6 - $66 MP Ratchet - $90 2x UW Defensor - $320 TAV Bombshell - $16 TAV Shrapnel - $16 2x UW Bruticus - $270 2x TR Scourge - $38 LG21 Hardhead - $36 LG22 Skullcruncher - $36 LG23 - Galvatron - $45 2x UW Computron - $270 LG25 Blurr - $30 LG26 Scourge - $30 LG27 Blaster - $75 LG28 Rewind - $18 LG29 Wheelie - $18 LG30 Weirdwolf - $36 LG31 Fortress Maximus - $230 MP Thrust - $180 MP Inferno - $140 LG32 Chromedome - $40 LG33 Highbrow - $40 LG34 Mindwipe - $40 LG36 Soundwave - $90 LG39 Brainstorm - $46 LG40 Astrotrain - $46 Total: $3086
