How do you buy your figures? loose but complete, MISB or MIB do you keep them in box? Do you buy them incomplete.

Personly if I buy a transformer it has to be complete or I won't buy it. Unless I buy it very cheap.

It depends. If the price is decent, I might as well go for MISB/MOSC if I can. Loose & Complete is ideal, but I could really care less about Energon Stars or Cyber-Planet Keys/Force Chips. So if they're missing those, no big deal.

That said though, I buy most older figures for bashing purposes and don't collect G1 figures specifically.

It depends on what I want it for. Most of what I buy is stuff that's just coming out in stores, so MIB, but I wanted a G2 Prime w/trailer to display (like the black trailer), so I bought the cheapest non-broken one I could find. No fists, guns, box, or instructions, but that wasn't what I was after. I wanted one to sit on my shelf without having to worry about damaging an expensive old toy.

As I only collect G1 or G1 reissues it's pretty simple for me:
Original G1 - loose/complete
Reissues - MIB or MISB
My Mate just said he "cant deal with that now!!"

I usually aim for TFs that are new in stores. I will buy the occasional loose or MIB/MISB TF from a fellow board member, though.

Thanks SmokescreenGT for making this sig!

I usually go with whichever one is cheapest. Sometimes I may want them complete, but its not always a dealbreaker.

I don't care as long as it complies with these:

1. Must be complete (if it's missing a missile I don't really care or instructions).

2. Must be in decent to mint condition.

If it complies, I'll buy.
