Oh yea. When there are no TFs to buy, the "extra fund" money I have set aside for said TFs tends to burn a hole in my pocket so I usually drift over to look at the Marvel Legends. I have bought more Marvel Legends in the last 6 months than I have in the last 6 years combined. Before I just had Kaine Scarlet Spider (from the BAF Rocket wave) and the recent Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider from the BAF Rhino wave. Now in the last couple of months add to those: Infinity War Iron Spider, ML Deadpool (BAF Sasquatch wave), vintage style card Iron Man, and vintage style card Spider-Man.

 

My wallet has stopped been happy 10 years ago and my hobby checklists have at least this amount coming, if not more.

 

Okay, straight up the EC body is the most comfortable Les Paul-type guitar I've ever played in my life, there was a goldtop one at a music store not far from me sometime last year and I'll never stop kicking myself for passing up on it.

 

Nope. I just continue to save it up for something later. I've become quite a frugal penny-pincher lately. o:

 

nope

 

It's frustrating because I want to support hasbro and their distributors but what can I say, they're missing out when pegs are empty or loaded with old stock.

Mattel and Lego get my support when this happens.

 

Happens all the time. No TFs, didn't come for nothing.

 

Naw, I have a preset budget for toys.

 

Unfortunately, Hasbro controls so much the retail toy market that it's something of a monoculture, so the plague of bad distribution sweeps across and devastates the entire crop.

If it wasn't for specialty shops online, I would've had no choice but to quit years ago.

 

Awesome. I need to go back to being more frugal.

 

Not often. Occasionally, I add to my Doctor Who collection, and the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom line looks very appealing to me, but generally, if I can't get Transformers, I save some cash.

 

I buy Lego Speed Champions sets and 6" Marvel Legends MCU when transformers are in a drought.

 

Unfortunately, yes. I've fallen into collecting other toy lines in the past just to buy something, too many quite frankly, but I'm trying to stick to TFs. If I feel the urge to buy something, I buy online rather than go to the stores. There are always older TFs or 3P to buy.

 

I collect and play Magic: The Gathering. My wallet wondered to Transformers. I am nearing the end of my search for additions to my collection, and just in time, as Dominaria has just had a pre-release weekend.

 

Yes and no.

No about the B&M stores, as I live in france, I depends on online stores for TF.

But yes for the wallet wandering.
I got all the latests relases which interested me, all the potp and Takara recent releases, and it's been one full month I don't know what to do with my money.

I have a dedicated account for TF/Toys, fed every month by my patreon account (one of my spare-time activity is funding the second spare time, isn't it perfect ?), and it's currently showing more than 950$. And this money really burn my hands, I'm spending time on ebay looking what I could buy, adding in my watch list repaints of molds I already have and stuff like that. (even some I already got and sold back..)
I've been strong enough to not click buy until now, because I know I'm looking at stuff I would not really enjoy.. So I'm now wondering if I should have a look at Takara's new diaclones instead.

 

I don't buy much new anyways, so not really. I do buy warhammer on occasion though

 

I'm fortunate that not much of the new Warhammer stuff is appealing to me, but I STILL need to get 3 Vindicators.

 

I only collect fantasy, and don't play with new rules, not a fan of how much they dumbed it down. I play with Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings, and Skaven 6th edition. Have everything here to play, so when people come over for drinks and want to play, we have enough armies to play with (could easily do two armies with Vampires lol)

 

Only during Steam sales.

 

Mother of Pearl...


My brother and I have been playing 6th for the last two years, and slowly getting a larger club built. Only have four armies currently: Beastmen, High Elves, Lizardmen, Dogs of War. We're planning on building up a few more, but that involves nabbing some 6th, 7th, and 8th starter sets on the cheap. Well, cheaper than current ebay pricings.

Also, you should pop by classichammer.com to discuss this with some likeminded people. Traffic isn't heavy, but the discussion that DOES happen is good.
