I am not a completest collector. I can totally live with that. I didnt even get most of armada. I do like cybertron a lot more and that makes it hard to stop buying but witha baby on the way i am trying to only get homages and ones that rock my world. But i understand how you feel. but i also feel since ive allready spent the money on the ones i have i dont want to get rid of them.

 

My current sale is more for "I don't really use these anymore, they're in boxes, i should get rid of them." While there are some I'll miss, I haven't touched them lately (not even display) and I'm getting older. I won't collect as much now and I could probably make more on selling now than much later.

Plus, I'd hate to move all of them >_<

 

Buy what you like. If you buy something, and dont like it ...then sell it. Just be careful you dont end up regretting it. I have done that before.

 

I have already sold of all Armada , RID, Energon, I hade all toylines complete. The only thing that is not G1 I buy are the occasinally Bruticus repaints but I doubt Ill see a new one anytime soon.

 

Since I'm getting married in a few months, I have a few pieces I am thinking of selling (X9 Ravage, a few BWNeo/Armada/Energon figures, that sort of thing). Nothing I would massively miss, like my G1 stuff. I'm still undecided.

 

No not once have I ever thought that.

Now with that being said, that doesn't mean that I absolutely love everything that I've bought in my collection. However, I collect more for the sack of the line and the characters. The figure may not be great, but the characters are cool.

I started RID about half way throught the show being on TV, so I wasn't able to actually get the entire line while it was out. Indeed, it wasn't until this past October that I was able to finally get the last two peices I needed for Rail Racer from BBTS. Now all I need for the Autobots are the Brother recolors and the one spychanger two pack that came with Side Burn. However, I still am missing about half the Predacons/Decepticons. I plan on finishing RID as I love it with the exception of probably never getting RID Galvatron. However, I might since it would technically be a different mold than the Megatron I have since my Megs is actually a Japanese Gigatron I imported.

Armada was chalk full of (IMO) not so great to decent figures with a few exceptional pieces (deluxe prime & unicron), however, I don't regret even some of the (again MO) worst figures (Scavanger and Smokescreen both come to mind from Armada). And from that line I'm only missing a few of the recolors... some I may eventually track down if I feel like it (Powerlinx Demolishor) and others I'm actively seeking on a regular basis (Nemesis Prime & Red Powerlinx Thrust).

With Energon, I look at half the Autobots on a daily basis and go... damn you guys suck. However, I love the Decepticons. I'm mainly done with this line too.

With Cybertron I said I was going to be more selective, but I haven't seemed to be able to yet. I just love everything I've bought in the line. The only figure I think sucks is Backstop... he just reminds me too much of one of the McDonalds figures. The rest have been great... I just wish I could stop importing all the expensive Takara Recolors...   But as Dark Magnus has said to me on accassion... I'm an exclusive repaint whore...  

So, no... I love my collection, even the bad ones, and would never get rid of it for any reason at this point.

 

Well some i do look back and regreat like Armada Sideswipe, Armada Laserbeak, etc. But now i basically pick and choose on some. Haven't picked up the Cyb. Swerve, Cyb. Swindle, Galvatron, or the street minicon team. If it is a kick ass new mold i get it for sure. If it is and excellent repaint i get it, eventually.

 

I was really into collecting gestalts few years back and completed most of 'em. I traded parts with tons of people, getting to know a lot of 'em in the process. But after I completed all the gestalts that I wanted, I no longer had the urge anymore. Just looking at them on my shelves didn't give me the satisfaction. So I sold most of them and never regretted about it. Giftset Bruticus, Menasor, Raiden, Road Caesar, etc. BUT I still have my giftset Liokaiser. There's NO way I'm selling that one. That thing's just way too cool.

 

eh...i have yet to ever get the feeling to sell sell sell....just BUY BUY BUY!  

 

I sold my first collection (G1 collection) a few years ago for a lot of money and now I regret it. I started collecting again in september but now I'm only focusing on the newer stuff and stuff that I want. I've only got 50 or so right now, most of which are cybertron but I'm not a completist. I won't buy repaints unless they looke REALLY good and I won't by remolds from a previous series.

I don't think I'll go back to buying G1 figures again unless it's something I want. I really like the cybertron and alternators line so far. I think the cybertron line is much better than Armada and Energon.

I might sell this collection a few years down the road if I need the money for retirement or putting my kids through school. But no, I made the mistake the first time selling my original collection.

 

I've got maybe 300+ figures, and have thought about selling some of them off to make space. I really have nowhere to store them except boxes in the closet, and you can't enjoy them that way.

Trouble is, there aren't many that I can bring myself to sell. I've always been selective in my collecting, so I like just about every figure I have.

Time to buy a big cabinet for the garage I think, and unpack them all into that.
