Completists? -From small subgroups to entire lines-

What particular group of transformers brings out the completist in you?

Note:
We already know completists make up the minority in this hobby.
So please, no bashing the practice, and no need to mention that you are not a completist. Thanks

I'd love to collect all the CHUGs stuff.

I try to get as much Classics stuff as possible.

G1 and G2 for sure

Right now, I'm trying to complete the Hasbro/Takara Mini-bots.

My dream is to have a complete set of the Antex, Estrela, IGA, Lynsa and Rubiplas versions.

G1 (and some G2), Godaikins, and CHUG

Construction-based TFs, particularly Movie-style Decepticon ones.

None. I started this post with Masterpiece but ended up changing it because of the stupid repaints.

I was a completist with the Powercore Combiners line, but I have a rule when it comes to collecting; "Purchase no recolors until all primary molds have been acquired." Unfortunately, by the time I was able to acquire Waterlog, Skyhammer, and Heavytread the recolor 5-packs were no longer readily available. I pretty much just gave up after getting Heavytread. So now I'm down basically every recolor in that line. I don't even have Windburn and Steelshot, despite the two being at both Toys R Us' that I frequent. If I hit the lottery I'll go back and hunt for the recolors. Maybe I should play the lottery.

Financially it's just not feasible to buy up a whole toyline for me, though I came close for the PCC line and I've bought all the PRIDE stuff so far. I am a big sucker for sublines though, like combiner teams, dinobots, wreckers, Autobot elites, etc. if I can find a subtheme in a toy line I'll buy up everything that fits it.
