    I guess? I dont plan on replacing the characters I already have, I'm pretty happy with the collection right now. Then again, theres always going to be a new Optimus, Bee, Megatron etc so I may swap out if I deem them worthy.

    Yup, even if I don't plan on buying figures I enjoy the window-shopping aspect, picking up any I see that I like. Etc.

    As long as they continue exploring non-G1, I'll be in (MSRP allowing). If the rumors are wrong and it's back to leaning hard/exclusively on G1, I'm out.

    Gimme some UT, Animated, and especially some RiD. But the more G1 there is on the shelf, the less I'll be buying.

    I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'll be trimming my spending a good bit.

    I was here before WFC and I’ll be here way after.

    That said, if it maintains the current bland character selections, decreased quality, and a pursuit of screen accuracy (to the toys detriment), I won’t be buying as much.

    Sure. I’m still on board for Kingdom, I’m only picking up the G1 figures and anything else that jumps out at me. I imagine I will continue to do that with the next line.

    I won't be all in like WFC, I'll be a lot pickier, but the idea of getting definitive takes from all continuities is awesome!

    I hope someone can cure Hasbro's Animated related amnesia in the next few years (especially since next year is the 15th Anniversary)

    I'm hoping I can do the same, but who knows.

    I swore I wouldn't be getting the Fossilizers, and here I am looking forward to Wingfinger.

    Definitely still on board, but at this point of getting near perfect CHUG versions, I imagine my collecting will involve more ad-hoc purchases rather than buying nearly every wave of WFC Siege and Earthrise. So I imagine the next line purchases will look like my kingdom purchases.

    I don't see this as a bad thing as it let's me concentrate on premium figures like the inevitable Three Zero G1 themed live action movie figures.

    Need my photo real G1 Ironhide, Optimus, Prowl (if in the new movie), Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockwave.

    Definitely. I only got into collecting fairly recently, around the beginning of WFC. Sure, most of the G1 characters I've wanted I have, or at least the 84-85 guys, and I'm planning on having next year as a year for me to snag most figures I couldn't get my hands on this year due to budgeting, but I'm all in on Beast Wars. And I'd pretty much get any good looking Decepticon from Armada or Prime on sight. Might even snag a few 'Bots as well if they look fun enough.

    Yes with an asterisk. I'm mostly only interested in characters I don't have. If it's a remake of someone I have I might get them if they're really good looking. For example the rumored upcoming Menasor - while I admit the stunitcons from CW aren't perfect, I don't want to recollect all the combiners, especially if they aren't compatible with the CW versions. Of course we have no idea what the new Menasor is going to look like or be compatible with, but I'm fine with the ones I have already. New Needlenose or Pointblank? Yes please. New Megatron / Prime / Bumblebee / Soundwave / etc..? They're going to have to be beyond amazing in order to make me want to upgrade the great ones WFC gave us.

    I've barely been on board WFC. The only bit I really like is the Weaponizers and Fossilizers because they presented a new play pattern. I really don't care about the nostalgia-bait apart from getting big chunky new Dinobots without having to blow $200+ a pop for 3P. If the modular bots aren't replaced with something equally fun, then I'm only here for the rest of the Dinobots.

    I would like to see better combiners where the combined modes actually stand and do not fall over themselves. Ratchet those joints properly. Other than that, I am out pretty much unless I see BW, RiD2001 and UT get some decent figures beyond what is already known/rumored. I would be okay with some updated Animated and RiD2015 toys as well. I can take or leave Prime. I hope Planet X continues their FOC figures.

    If things match up well aesthetically with WFC in the next line then I'll probably still collect, but I don't see myself collecting quite as much as I have been since Combiner Wars started.

    I'm always game to see what comes next. WFC has treated me well, but I collected well before it and I'm sure I'll collect after. But I am hoping for some more separation of lines and honestly less volume of product release, it's been so much to keep up with the past couple of years that I'm actually hoping I don't like the immediate post WFC followings so I can take a break.
    So hopefully they come out with a few I can live with skipping. I've ben craving Classics Beast Wars for years and got that, and most of the G1 Classics guys I wanted updated got them, so I'm covered with things I've been actively wanting. So time will tell, I'm sure I'm still in to some degree, we'll see how much they get me for!

    Not really interested in any of those UT and Prime nobodies we are rumored to get, but if there's still interesting G1 stuff coming and Transmetals, I'm in.
    Love the prospect of accurate G1 combiners.
    As long as accuracy is the name of the game, I'll buy lots.

    I have (or have preordered) most of what I want, so I’ll likely be scaling things down. That’s not to say I won’t buy anything in new lines. If the odd figure takes my fancy, why not?

    I'm excited for the leaked new G1 figures in the new Generations line and in SS86. I've been getting the BW Kingdom figures too, as my son loves the show even more than G1. It's a fun way for us to spend time together!
