    so far i've bought:
    commander bulkhead $12
    commander predaking $12
    legion twinstrike $6

    that's $30 so far. i plan on getting voyager and commander shockwaves ($37), legion soundwave ($6), and the other four terrorcons ($24). that's another $67, so a total of $97.

    this is an expensive year for me... and that's not counting movie stuff to catch up on. i might get MP acid storm too.

    to recap, retail stuff is either $97 or $167. movie stuff... god knows how much more that'd cost me.

    to be honest i have no idea...

    but so far i have purchased:

    Hasbro MP10 Optimus Prime
    Takara MP starscream (MP11)
    Takara MP sideswipe
    Takara MP Red alert
    igear UFO (cosmos)
    igear Hench (brawn)
    Yomg Wheelie
    Fansproject "not" Chromedome
    G1 MIB Overlord (jap)
    G1 MIB Raiden (jap)
    G1 MIB Superion (jap)
    Takara MP soundwave
    TFC phantom
    TFC Eagle

    a lot of misc G1 acessories/boxes.

    pre-ordered/to be bought soon:

    I'm nowhere near where I want to be with my collection. I've still got under 80 (give or take) figures and not many of my top wants, yet. I keep myself in check mainly by buying only what I really want. If I don't really like the figure I don't buy it.

    But just for fun:

    UPDATED - 10/3
    $162 - Hasbro MP Prime
    $15 - Alt. Silverstreak
    $7 - Cyberverse Prime Megatron
    $35 - Revoltech Bumblebee
    $10 - RID X-Brawn
    $15 - FOC Starscream
    $18 - Animated Blurr
    $22 - Blitzwing (tripplechanger)
    $22 - Springer (tripperchanger)
    $45 - MP-17 Prowl

    Total: $351

    Update on me, pretty lenient months with more leniency on my wallet later on.

    January: MP Soundwave with shipping...around 160 USD
    [on order with other stuff paid for in december]

    February: I think nothing

    March: absolutely nothing thanks to HLJ not filling my orders for the cassete 2 packs

    Early April: Autocracy TPB, around 20 USD

    May to August: Quite probably nothing, my orders are for MP Prowl and Streak only.

    Then you have to add or subtract, whatever floats your boat, the money I'm making by selling off everything I own besides few MP figures...

    and I think I've made about 5 times what I've paid for until august :p

    So far I've spent about $240, all of it on 3rd party products. I'm not sure about how much I'll be spending for the entire year, though, as I tend to buy things as I want them since I never, usually, want too much. I want MP Prowl and Bluestreak and I have my eye on some 3rd party stuff. That's about it for this year.

    Bought a Shadow Strike Bumblebee the other day in TJ Maxx. Have FE Bee and never bought Hot Shot, so that is the only version of that mold I have. Up to $243 now.

    As a result of last year's almost ridiculous overspending on 3P products and late year Takara MPs I decided to set myself a far more sensible budget of only £550 for the year and as a result of this new found discipline I've managed to blow through that by april on pre-orders at Kapow alone and i havent fighured out if I going to want to shoe-horn Fort Max in there too. So well done me.

    Strangely Hasbro have only gotten £30 of this haul for the upcomming Springer. If I evr come across a Soundwave in the wild they'll get some more but that's likely going to be it for the company that actually invented the Line.

    Well I started to keep track and after I seen how much I've spent so far I deleted the excel file, I think I'll be better off not knowing the total for the year :)
