! But that is a damn good haul with some real choice pieces.The way I shop now is totally splurge-centric. I came back from Botcon with about seventy figures but I'd only bought one or two a month for most of the year. I hate paying postage and when it comes to G1 figures I like to inspect figures rather than rely on ebay. My next big splurge will be BOTs or CONs or Auto Assembly, whichever is the next TF convention I get to, and I imagine that will be very trade-heavy.

| Decepticon General  Join Date: Oct 2011 Posts: 1,959 Location: New Jersey Collection Count: Enough to make a girl go crazy | I splurge once a year, my Birthday. Nobody has a clue as to what I want or even how to go about finding it so I just buy all my own gifts. Other then that, I keep my figures at roughly 1 to 2 a month. |

| Insecticon Join Date: Apr 2012 Posts: 931 Location: Sacramento, CA, USA News Credits: 4 | I just ended my splurge mode actually. If you look at my collection (in signature), all of that was purchased or received from trades since early April. It's a bittersweet feeling. You get what you want, but you're left with an aching wallet. Personally, I'm an impatient person and I try to get what I want as soon as I reasonably can since I'm going to end up getting it anyway. |

| Advocate for GoBot Rights  Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 3,671 Location: Where distribution doesn't suck, apparently Collection Count: Nearing the 400 mark! | Once in a while, I splurge. It's a fun release. Sometimes it's random, when I have a lot more money after paying bills than usual, or when I have a good run of eBay sales. I also always plan a splurge around Comic-Con, though even then it's not all that big of a splurge.  Quote:

I have summoned you here for a purpose. Nobody summons Megatron. Then it pleases me to be the first.
I just bought Giant  |
