I have to say for me 2013 represents a year where I cannot see how I can continue to pursue G1 and pre-G1 variants like I have been doing for the last 2 years due to the need to address grown up money stuff, but this has annoyingly coincided with an inexplicable appreciation of upcoming 3rd Party toys in me (and I have fought this!) and of course the beginning of a series of Autobot Car Masterpiece figures, all of which I am depriving myself. Although it's not everyone's cup of tea I think the Transformers GT line is something I could really fall in love with too...and let's not even go anywhere near the reissue Fort Max and possible recolours/exclusives or whatever else they have planned for Encore/Ehobby... This is a bad time to have to direct funds away from the hobby... All the best Maz
unfortunately I can't be so optimistic about 2013 with half the shops shutting. ok HMV is still going. just & the UK is heading for. or in. a double dip recession
