    Classics Ultra Magnus+ City Commander Armor. Don't think the pricepoint would warrant my divorce.

    MP Grimlock - The only Masterpiece I'd really want, because I think he could still be displayed together with classics. But too expensive.

    Classics Skywarp - Most of them are sold only from the USA to the USA and not worldwide and the ones I can get worldwide are often 50$ and upwards. That sucks. And I don't want the set with Ultra Magnus, but that would be even more ridicously priced. 200$! For sure! :lol

    I still can't believe how much the UM vs SW pack goes for. I bought mine of clearance @ target for 12 bucks, it's still misb.

    BW Robot Heroes Tigatron/Inferno 30+ bucks plus 20 some bucks shipping, not cool for a transformer that doesn't transform.

    Not a figure but G1 Jetfire armour. I've seen 2 full sets over the last few weeks and whilst I've been mulling it over they've gone. The reason for mulling it over? I'm debating getting a 1/48 Macross to custom into a big Jetfire so selling Jetfire and using the combined money towards that will most likely be the better option.......

    but then the Macross with battle armour ain't cheap!!


    No could about it....he looks amazing with classics.

    Darkside Optimus and Megatron (The WFC Black repaints). I LOVE their molds, I've got every other version (Hasbro, TT, TRU Exclusive 3-pack).... and yet I can't pull the trigger on it despite it being a completely reasonable price.

    Both of the Prime Cyberverse vehicle sets-- partly because I never seem to have the right amount of cash on me when I see them, and also because I'm certain my parents would scream at me for getting something so big and "useless".

    (Of course, they say that of all my toys, it's just that they'd be particularly loud about big ones like that.)

    No real "waffling" stories for me, but what I have happen alot is, I have a budget. I need to, or else I'd spend ALL my money on robots, and that can't happen. So I stick to a budget religiously. What happens with me is I'll spend that budget on robot A, and then the next day robot B comes up for sale at a GREAT price, but I've blown the budget on robot A. Kills me. Right now there's a dude on here selling a couple of bots I want REALLY bad, but I can't make a move until people either PAY for the stuff they want from me that I'm sitting on, or I get the next paycheck, because I've used up the robot budget. Grrrrr.

    I had him in my hands in TRU when it was out. To this day I have no idea why I put it back on the shelf. I was probably waiting for a coupon or something stupid like that.

    I love those molds too. I want the United Megatron UN-04 but cannot justify the ridiculous prices on eBay. Plus being outside of the US doesn't help things with exorbitant shipping.

    I'm waffling on my G2 Bruticus pre-order! I didn't realize that month was packed with 3DS game releases and the potential Wii U.

    Hmmm...

    Kabaya Fort Max
    Popsicle Prime
    MP-12

    Fort Max while very cool, doesn't have a place in my collection.
    Popsicle Prime - very much want but it's admittedly a novelty and funds are tight.
    MP Swipe, again tight funds and worries about overpaying for a Takara version.
