    This year, I'm attempting to stay around $100 per month. It's only January 22, and I'm already over that limit by a couple dollars. I started a spreadsheet to keep track for the first time in over 20 years of collecting, and it really shines a light on how much I spend. I've already got February slotted for iGear's MW's at $76 so that leaves me with $24 to play with. March has Mech Ideas' not-Jumpstarters at around $75. April will see my pre-order for the other 2 MW's at another $76. I'm hoping at that point to get Voyager Grimlock and the Club Sub fees will fall due at around $120 apiece. So, now I realize how much I actually spend and most of it goes to pre-orders. So crazy, this hobby, and that's not even counting any Joes that hit when the new movie drops. Jesus.

    Gives me something to do on New Years Eve before the partying starts. This is just Toys, not counting all the stuff I'll spend on TF2 and other games.

    January:
    BH Wheeljack: $16 TRU
    BH Lazerback: $8 TRU (BoGoH)
    FE Bulkhead:$26 TRU

    Best, most concise post so far. :thumbs2: 

    $100 a month? Good luck with that, man.
    I'm having trouble keeping it under $1000!

    Things have slowed over the past two weeks, but I'm still over $670 already...

    ...and my card is about to be hit with Arms Micron Wildrider, Rumble, and Frenzy, Generations Onslaught, Brawl, Swindle, Vortex and Blast-Off, and Masterpiece Soundwave.

    If FansToys' QuakeWave or ToyWorld's Aurora make their release dates, I'll be way over-budget for January...
    And that's already assuming PlanetX's "Genesis" will be delayed until sometime next month. :redface2:

    I would guess the minimum would be £2,400 but in all likelyness its going to be well over 4K.

    hopefully stay under the $500 limit. It should be easy since I only buy Hasbro USA stuff, and only new releases!

    Not as much as last. After MP-13 and his cassettes drop, I'd like to go on a yearlong break on the high-end stuff. I'm kind of tired of having something in my POL every month. I'll take my chances on buying some highly anticipated 3P and MP figures when perusing the secondhand market down the road.

    US$ 30,00 -> Three Cyberverse Prime toys at local retail
    US$ 329,99 + shipping + random and weird import taxes-> Fortress Maximus

    And... probably that's all for this year. If we have some new Animated toy I will buy it.

    I'm not even going to predict my spending...especially not with the possibility of more Mp's after Prowl and smokescreen being released, Pus the chance of a impulse buy at TRU

    I'm gonna aim to spend no more than $300 on official purchases, and to make my first official 3rd party purchase this year, if any wow me enough.

    EDIT: I'm also up to $32 with having bought FOC Kickback and Starscream last week.
