I save money by focusing only on 1984-1985 G1 TF releases in the Masterpiece style. I have to save money somehow as MPs aren't cheap, nor the 3P versions and I'm on a tight budget. But it helps that I was never a fan of the stylistic changes that came about with the 1986 animated movie and season 3 onwards. So, gimmie a complete collection of the Ark Autobots and Decepticons, along with their Season 2 reinforcements and I'm in heaven!
