    Complete? Wait until you get the one-in-each-mode scratch...

    MP S1- content with current characters out, but would pickup a taller Cliffjumper and a nice individual bot constructicons.

    MP S2- Need Protectobots, 20” defensor, and autobot tapes. Content with the current figures out. Maybe fembots.

    MP S3- Need 20” computron, 20” predaking, 20” abominus, runabout, and Runamuck. Content with current characters out. Would think about a larger skylynx.

    MP S4- Less nostalgia, would finish the headmasters and not care much about the rest.

    My collection is based solely on 'cool toys', irrespective of size, series, complexity etcetera. As a result, it'll never be complete.

    My MP collection won't be complete until someone finally gives us Runamuck and Runabout!
    20200906_140726.jpg

    Zeta Unicron has been preordered and will cover that spot. Other than that I work with a lot of stand-ins: Most of my combiner teams are CHUGsterpieces and some MP 3P figures are not perfect represantations with minor issues. I'm actually quite happy with many of them but wouldn't mind better versions of Cliffjumper, Blitzwing, Goldbug, Devastator, Springer...

    I basically have two G1 based collection. One based on Masterpiece and one on Classics.

    They're different parts of the mythos. Basically, Masterpiece is 1984 (season 1) plus some figures from 1985 (the carbots, Aerialbots and Triple Changers). A very arbitrary divide, I'll admit. That makes the Classics based series everything beyond (thus some of 1985 all the way up to 1991 -- and beyond if I want to add a G2 character).

    For my Classics based collection there's no limit. Everything goes. If I like it, I can add it.

    Masterpiece is more limited. With the Autobots I'm still missing is a good Trailbreaker (MMC is the best looking, but not a good figure; the others are too big -- and he needs to have a toy head), and Cliffjumper. And for the Decepticons Blitzwing (Gewalt is awsome, but too big). That's all.

    (But truth be told, seeing the upcoming classics figures I'm sorely tempted to get rid of many of my MP's and start anew with wfc/classics, in which case it's still a long road..)

    ZILCH / ZERO -> DONE

    my collection is actually complete now since i got FT Dunerider.

    i will add or remove things to it time to time, if i want and can at the time around release, like for example, new compact bot / alt mode FT figures that are really cool. Such as FT Smokey / FT Spindrift 2.0 / FT Trailbreaker / FT Soundwave / FT Astrotrain and Ocular Max Autobot Tapes are example of compatible figures i may or may not add to my collection, if i can at time of release.

    None are needed, and i dont have to have either of them, so my collection is now always complete, and trying to reduce all other collections at this time. My hope is for 3 shelves on a billybee ikea case.

    Heh, complete? My sole criteria is, "does it look cool to me"? Then I'll get it.

    I’m g1 through the start of season 3 because that’s where I stopped watching. So the original headmasters are my book end.

    My collection won’t be complete until fanstoys stops making figures that swap into my collection. The only representation of figures in my collection I’m missing are

    -the protectobots
    -I just need 1 quintison
    -I just need 1 sharkticon
    -then the last headmasters from fanstoys, the alligator one. I can live without brainstorm

    Priority? Just Soundwave.

    Still would like? Predaking, Broadside, Cyclonus, and Blitzwing.

    For me my MP collection is the least important collection of mine. It's just the characters I consider the most important to my childhood. I'm more concerned with my CHUG collection or figures that I just like to fiddle with.

    I'm a 'Best of everything' guy. I am confident that nothing is going to come out that I like better than MP44/36, Studio Cell, Jabber, KFC wreck-gar, V2 Bumblebee etc. so I bought them. But I am playing the long game. Like waiting for XTB springer, and not buying any of the hot rods/rodimus currently on the market- I still believe someone (probably TT) will come up with one in the next couple years that is better than what is currently out there. like I would buy Hoodlum, but the shoulders are just the wrong shape, even with the hinge improvement, I know it would just annoy me if I bought it for the sake of completion.

    My MP collection is complete for representations of season 1-2 and The Movie as far as I'm concerned. I'm stopping there. (not saying I didn't or wouldn't grab a season 3 that looks cool on clearance, just that I don't NEED it)

    I am going to get:
    FT Astrotrain, last 2 FT Aerialbots

    If I had to pick some that "need" replacing, I'd get a new Cliffjumper and Runabout and Runamuck if someone ever made them.
