= $98. hopefully only around 30 more and i can trade for the rest.

 

I just got MP-12 Sideswipe today and Voyager Grimwing. I'm at $662 now.

 

I'm not too sure but give or take I figure this much with the following ones I am gonna get or try to get,final price depends on that.

FOC Grimlock paid $20
BH Voyager Predaking paid $23
Generations Springer paid $23
Generations Blitzwing paid $23
BH Voyager Optimus paid $20
BH Voyager Ultra Magnus paid $20
FOC BBTS Exclusive Ruination Set paid $50 I think
Upcoming Generations Titan Metroplex $110
Upcoming Generations Sandstorm $30
Masterpiece Soundwave if I can find him $120
BH Ultimate Predaking $60 also if I can find him

And that's pretty much it for my TF Spending this year,so in total I say $470 not including tax or shipping cost.

 

um...started collecting Victory, Zone, etc this year, and wanting to complete us g1 as well, so it'll be expensive. keeping up with show character mps as well

 

I don't even want to think about it. The below is what I've purchased YTD, all MISB.

Not much. The only things that interest me so far are:

Beast Hunters Black Convoy
MP Acid Storm
MP Soundwave
Fans Project Last Chance
Fans Project M3
Gen Rhinox
Gen Waspinator
Gen Armada Starscream

 

I'm currently budgeting out about $350 / month on toys, and it gets spent. With all the third party stuff and MP toys, it goes quick. I'm buying very little of Hasbro's normal retail stuff - but that's only because there's not a lot in the Generations line. Granted, stuff like Metroplex takes a big chunk. Beast Hunters has been very sparse.

 

For me it was:

Encore Fortress Maximus
Hasbro Springer
Hasbro Blitzwing
Hasbro Sandstorm
Deluxe Kickback
Deluxe FOC Starscream

Pre orders and hopeful purchases

MP Soundwave
Generations Metroplex

 

yup!

 

I just pre-ordered Ultimate Predaking this morning. My grand total for this year is now $751.

 

I was trying to pace myself, but that went to crap. I have sold of quite a bit and put that back into my collection in various ways, so the net amount isn't nearly as ridiculous as the gross amount. The customs are what chew through the cash, but they sure pop!

 

I have no ideal right now untill I add it up in dec of what all I have bought for the year.

 

A number I don't want to think about.

Compounded by the fact that this year was my first Botcon...

 

So far I've bought Springer and Blitwing. I'm holding off on Grimlock for right now.

 

During the first two weeks of July, I have bought Grimwing and Voyager Springer, which makes my total TF spending for 2013 currently at $ 378.51.

 

Ok, I guess now is a good time to have an update in my 2013 first half expenses:

HTML:

3 x Cyberverse Toys     US$  30.00
1 x Fortress Maximus    US$ 627.99
2 x EZ Exclusive Toys   US$ 110.00
1 x Energon Driller     US$  60.00
3 x Deluxe Vehicons     US$  90.00
1 x Voyager Thundertron US$  57.26
----------------------------------
                Total:  US$ 975.25

All those values are with shipping and taxes when applicable (Fortress Maximus is a good example of how much taxes and shipping can make this hobby so expensive). My original plan for this year was to buy only FM and some Cyberverse toys. Seems that I was weak and bought a lot of more things.

And now waiting for Generations Metroplex...

 

Damn straight. My latest BBTS PoL that landed yesterday:
Subtotal $1,032.45
Tax $0.00
Shipping $132.49
Total $1,164.94
And I still got another pending pile sitting for around $305.

Soooooo close to completing my G1 collecting goal, about 6 figures plus a few random parts to go. Getting married in September, hope to finish things off at TFCon so I can be completely done with vintage stuff. Unfortunately there's still a f*ckload of new stuff on the horizon:
-Generations/FoC [Sandstorm, Metroplex, Trailbreaker/Hoist, Thundercracker, Skywarp, umm...what else was announced at BotCon? Skids, Swerve/inevitable-Gears-repaint]
-TFPrime [still need: Skyquake, Ultra Magnus, at least one version of Predaking...on sale]
-Kreo [combiners]
-MPs [TRU Soundwave, Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokecreen, Wheeljack, Bumblebee]
-third party [Hexatron, MMC not-Predaking, remainder of FP's Menasor, FP's Brainstorm & Weirdwolf, maybe Quakewave]
-still on the fence w/ Encore Fort Max since I already own a MIB original

GAH it never ends!!! #plasticcrack
