    Hardly anything, as I've not been interested in anything Hasbro has to offer.

    I want FOC Grimlock, and I may or may not end up with a few 3P figures....but that's about it.

    Only thing I'm committed to are any & all new Masterpieces, a few older Encores & Classics/Universe that I still need, and maybe FOC Grimlock.

    I would obviously like more G1 Generations figures as well to help complete the collection, but I'm not holding my breath that Hasbro/Takara will finally give them to us... or that they'll be normal sized and good quality if we do get them.

    ^This. Thanks to the new MP line & the reissue of Fort Max I've finally been able narrow my focus. I'll be buying less this year but spending more.

    That's a great idea, too. If we all do that, it could save this thread from becoming a "megathread"... I've updated my post on the first page to reflect today's purchases.

    Not much. I'll be getting my hands on MP Soundwave & all his cassettes - and that's about it. My original Fort Max is in excellent condition so why would I want another one? - & frankly I just don't have the room. The rest of this year's figures do absolutely nothing for me. Maybe it's time I started doing some saving? Good luck with that! :lol

    Sticking to a LIST this year, try I mean really try. I have been selling stuff because I just really want to narrow down what I have. I have also gotten back into hunting and fishing, something I havent done in years, and man compound bows gotten expensive, and just picked up a new rifle this weekend. This is why Im making a list and sticking to it.
    1. Fort Max
    2. FP Menasor
    3. 1 of the Predakings, waiting to see which 1 I like the most
    4. Non TF is the Sideshow Snake Eyes
    and maybe the BBTS Omega Supreme, havent really decided on that one yet.

    45 for Soundwave and his minions. I'm guessing the same price for Blaster and his little buddies, plus 100 for BBTS Omega Supreme... So between 190 and 200 this year. 215 if I find Kickback.

    Dude, those are all January releases. Are you quitting cold turkey at the end of the month?

    Unless they come out with some mind blowing non-FoC Generations releases, I sure am!

    It's going to depend on the number of Masterpieces they release :)  Soundwave and his minions already make a big dent. Plus Red Alert and Starscream which I've just ordered to catch up. I don't think I'll bother with the earlier masterpieces, except Grimlock who I've already got.

    Although I have to say, the APS movie models are currently calling to me... better to wait for the fourth movie though I think.

    So, probably about £600 - 800. EEK.

    Hah my spreadsheet doesn't collate the data that much. I can find out but it would take a while.

    That's your prediction for this year? $12,000 USD?
    That seems awfully high, but not by any means the highest estimation so far...

    I expect to spend about $10,000 less than you do, but that's a conservative estimate; in fact, based on what I've spent in the last four days alone, I'm likely to exceed $30,000 at this rate! :eek:
