    And yet instead of the SMART thing and saving up money for the video game, you're going to keep blowing it on figures you don't really want? Sounds to me like you are more for instant gratification with your money, even if it's not really what you want, rather than being patient with saving your money by doing other things that don't cost money (like, oh I don't know, watching stuff on youtube or maybe even improving on your English a little?) so that you CAN buy what you want and get the most for your money.

    You have two dogs, yet you say you will get bored because you can't buy some stupid toys. Did the idea of ever "playing" with your dogs instead of relying on proverbial plastic crack ever come to mind? You're already probably paying a good amount towards keeping those dogs healthy and happy, having fun by playing with them doesn't cost any extra money.

    Obviously. He's too busy spending his money on toys he doesn't like instead of food, so rather than stop buying toys he'll have to eat the dogs.

    And instead of saving up the money, you're just going to blow it on crap you don't want, and then you complain about not having enough money to buy the wii game for some reason? How can you NOT be making that connection? If you don't like the Prime toys, it should be a great time for you because then you can instead save up the money you WOULD have spent on toys on the video game you want. And what can you do while you wait to get enough money to buy a new game? Here's a novel idea: play with the TF's you already have! They are TOYS they are MEANT to be played with. The only reason you should NOT be able to do this is if you are a sealed package collector, and somehow I doubt that is the case.

    But you are making it an excuse to try and justify your choices, which is just as bad.

    i do play with them

    My dad and mom are the ones that buy the Food, im not that old, im still a teenager

    Okay, you did not say that before. You just said the Prime toys looked "meh" to you, but you did not mention that one or two of them looked good to you, so we could only assume you meant the line as a whole. But the main problem is that you still want to buy toys you aren't totally thrilled with the looks of, and the fact remains that you shouldn't really be buying toys you aren't totally thrilled with because that's money wasted when it could have gone to something else. Like a new wii game.

    The dog thing was meant to be a joke.

    Then saying you get bored because you can't buy NEW toys is a lame excuse, especially when you're talking about buying ones you're not thrilled with. You don't need to constantly keep buying new toys to enjoy the hobby. It's okay to buy the ones you actually LIKE and legitamately want, such as Bumblebee and Megatron, but simply wanting the others regardless of your own personal opinions of them but because they're Transformers is a waste of your money.

    You should flip a coin and let it decide what you're going to do, since this poll is 50/50 and this thread is going in circles

    It would seem kind of odd that you would be buying figures that you don't want. That what be like me buying My Little Pony toys. Of course you may get something you did not want that much at first. But you might end up loving them.

    So In turn, I would advise you to buy what you want most, not something that you want just because. :2c:

    I doubt you do. I'm not saying that you're lying. I'm saying that someone lied to you.

    Pull yourself together.

    Don't waste your money. If you were out on your own in the world and spent money on stuff just because you want the thrill of having something new, then you'd be broke real fast. Just wait for your Mirage.

    Buy them all even though you don't want them and never watch the show even though you have absolutely no reason not to, and make sure you keep asking our opinions on the matters without ever actually listening to what anyone has to say.

    No. It's not a big deal at all. You're talking about $10-$20 toys, which is nothing more than throw away money, and if you're in a position where small purchases like these ARE a big deal, then you've got more problems to dig into than which toy to pick.

    Just cause you do not like the look does not mean to pass on the line. Hell getting a couple in hand could change your mind on the entire line.

    Please ask your parents to seek help for you. There is no shame in this, to see a problem and do what it takes to fix it. You are foolishly spending your money on stuff you're not even sure you'll like. as you grow, and are responsible for your own finances, a plastic addiction like this can cripple you.

    Well, seeing as how you like playing your Wii but you say games are too expensive - just plop the money you have set aside for some figs bit by bit for a new game.

    Hand it to your parents and tell them not to give it back to you until you have enough for a game. Considering how much you plan on spending on figs you should have a new game in your hands in no time.

    Got to be a better use of your money than buying figs just to scratch some itch. And yeah, you need to address that itch by talking to a professional, someone who will help you refocus on healthier habits.

    Every single Transformers Prime character they make a toy of gives me chills. Because they all have had enough development or exposure on the show for me to really care that they get toys.

    There is a legitimate troop builder in the Vehicon.

    Not sure what your seeing, but other than the entertainment pack deluxes. The rest of the line has really jumped some engineering hurdles. Transformation is the special feature. Why complain.
