    I mix my counting methods. If everything came in a package such as Deluxe Barricade with Frenzy, I count that as one. Minicons count as one, so a package of 3=3 in my count. Giftsets are individual such as devastator=6 in my count. Mostly it is a case by case basis.

    Um, I start at 1 and go sequentially until they have all been counted. i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7 8, 9, 10, and so on

    Here is my "count" method

    I count everything that trasforms. except combiners, only individual bots counts, I just did a count and it was 314.

    I occasionally count my Primes, but had never bothered to count the rest of my collection.

    I count each one seperately with a few exceptions. Combiners count individual robots, but not the gestault itself. Headmasters and targetmasters count as one. Minicons count seperately as well, using I suppose the spark count. I don't count non-transforming figures at all. Cities such as trypticon, scorponok and metroplex count as one, not counting smaller units that come with them. In Armada, I count minicons seperately except for Overload, since the trailer part is essentially just a shell for the smaller robot. Current count, post Christmas, should exceed 1200.

    I find Arabic numerals and plus signs fairly decent (count by box, add at the end)...

    Minicon team = 1
    Minicon w/ large fig = 1
    else = number of figs

    I use numbers. I mean what the f**k would I use? Letters? Essentially you go 1...2...3...4 and so on until you done or just plain sick of it.
