    For me it's getting selected siege and all studuo series at the right budget. After last year's gamble, just try sell off some stuff to make money for spending this year and let the paychecks grow and not touch them.

    Just keep up with new releases and plug away at my legion/original legends/original cyberverse collection, as usual.

    Not too much. Getting an IKEA shelf for a better display and hoping for an MP Hound release in 2019.

    Mine was sort of last minute because I just realized how close I was, but I want to have something close to a complete 84-85 Autobot Masterpiece cast by the end of the year. I took a quick look around after I bought Savant and realized I was only missing Hoist, Perceptor, and a few of the Minibots before I have everyone. I'm probably gonna use the Planet X Perceptor for a stand-in until an official one comes by (because Tesla is impossible to come by) and I just ordered Artifex, so as soon as I get Powerglide, Cosmos, Seaspray, and Warpath I may be...done with Masterpiece collecting for a bit?

    I want to complete G1 Series 1 and Series 2 (84-85). I need about 20 figures, vintage releases in good condition. Completing these two series would be huge.

    I wanna complete the lost light crew. I have many of the main characters, but I need some third party to make a rung, nautica, pipes, ratchet, riptide, a more accurate chromedome and nightbeat. I plan on picking up mmc thunderclash and roller relatively soon.

    Day to day is easy, but I say something like I need Megatronia to balance out my collection... That's when things go bad.

    Turn my closet into a display with built in shelves and good lighting for my Masterpiece and TFPrime collection.

    I've got a fairly decent Lost Light crew, though I'd live a Rung to go with it. I've got a couple of the Scavengers, and would like a Grimlock to go with them; maybe the Lost Exo Realm Severo. If the price is right.

    My main goal this year is to buy some more Decepticons! The Siege line looks promising for that, hopefully get Soundwave and some seekers.

    Honestly...I think my main goals for 2019 would be to buy less Transformers, and sell off some of them...And so far that I've found this to be very...VERY DIFFICULT...
    That and to eventually get Predaking. Lol!

    To summon up enough courage to start selling off the early parts of my collection that no longer fit - my UW Superion, CW Defensor, and a solitary Jetfire.

    Get more Studio Series, and some select Siege figures.
    Completing the 07 movie cast and getting the Constructicons is a must!

    I guess my goals might include...

    - Finally replacing the G1 Powermaster Optimus Primes I've had over the years; this figure holds alot of sentimental value for me, specifically associated with my dad...

    - Getting MP-36+...after ignoring this figure since its announcement and subsequent release, it's caught my attention in a big way. I'm just overwhelmed by the nostalgia I experience it each time I see it...

    - Replacing the Masterpiece Hot Rod 2.0 I sold awhile back. I'd settle for the Targetmaster version, but I'd really like to get the original back...

    - Completing my Combiner Wars Aerialbots, Stunticons, and finally get the Technobots. I know that's a pretty tall order, but if the opportunity arises, and I can afford it, I'd like to get these...

    - Finding Siege figures; this one's a given, I guess...

    - Get any re-issues I can find/afford, especially Optimus...


    Now...off to gofundme.com and/or play the lottery so I can afford it all. (lol)

    Complete the 1984 cast of G1 figures. I am slowly but surely getting there. So far I have Optimus, Bumblebee, Starscream, Trailbreaker, and Wheeljack.

    1. Finish off the Power of the Primes Dinobots and Terrorcons.

    2. Obtain Studio Series figures from Bumblebee and the first movie that I don't have (might wait on Dropkick and Shatter, depending on whether they do jet Shatter and how car Dropkick turns out)

    3. Get MPM-3 Bumblebee. I'm not a big Masterpiece collector, but perfect version of favorite character...

    4. Build up my G1 originals in Generations form. I have Bee, Prowl, Jazz, Mirage, Brawn, Windcharger, and Starscream. I would LOVE to get Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Shockwave, Soundwave, and Megatron from Siege.

    5. ???

    6. Profit.

    Hoping to lay my hands on as many Iron Factory figures as I can... old and the new ones due out. I'm getting out of Masterpieces, my last one will be MP44 to replace MP10. And Beast Wars Megatron.

    Also, Siege pickups... it's a great line I'm happy to support.
