    With the exception of a few Masterpiece figures and the FortMax reissue, there is nothing that I'm really looking forward to.

    Maybe when the toy fairs start providing on future releases it might change.

    FoC Grimlock
    FoC Soundblaster
    FoC Kickback
    Beast Hunters Predacon figures

    That's it for now unless a TFP style Smokescreen shows up in the BH line. Other than that, I'm cutting back and going to focus on TMNT and older TF lines.

    Some TF: Prime stuff, MP Soundwave and MP Red Alert plus Encore Anime Devastator.
    That's all for the time being. As for Fort Max, space will be an issue...

    Soundwave and Fortmax are enough to burn a hole in my wallet.
    Other than that, I'm looking at Fanstoys Shockwave and more headmaster toys.

    To be honest, there's a couple figures I really want; the Fall of Cybertron figures especially. I had hoped to collect the entire line (sub-line?), but then I got into collecting LEGO The Lord of the Rings and LEGO The Hobbit sets, so instead of TransFormers I'm going after a full collection of all those sets. (I only have Uruk-hai Army, Gandalf Arrives, and Elrond so far, but I'm hoping to get more soon. :wink: ) Maybe when I finish getting those I'll go after the Fall of Cybertron figures (starting with next years Wreckers and Starscream! :D ), and hopefully Thundertron too, but for now I don't see many new additions to my TransFormers collection. :(

    In terms of third party: expensive
    In terms of first party: not great aside from MP and Kreo

    I'd have to see what Hasbro's got planned for 2013. Outside of the first wave of Beast Hunters, and the Wreckers FoC wave, we know virtually nothing.

    Lots of female robots, exclusives, KREO, Prime and Generations.

    Maybe some 3rd Party if the money's right.

    It's not looking like much collecting so far. There are some FoC figures I'd like to get if distribution isn't horrible on that part of the line.

    Not really sure on the Beast Hunters figures because the Transformers Prime line has been sort of mixed bag for me. Some figures seems to fit in nicely with my Classics style stuff but other figures just don't fit in.

    Hopefully Hasbro has some good stuff for 2013 because once the movie line gets released for 2014 there will not be any new figures I'm interested in until the movie line ends.

    Probably FoC: Grimlock, Kickback, Soundblaster, Blaster, Ratbat. Maybe FoC Starscream & Ultra Magnus. Beyond that we will see...

    Rather expensive overall. Aiming at getting some third party stuff and MP Soundwave, as well as completing the Animated and Cybertron lines. Not really into FOC stuff other than deluxe wave 3 and I only want 3 or 4 figures from Beast Hunters.

    Pretty light so far:

    MP-13 and friends
    Takara Generations FOC Grimlock, assumed
    Select Fansproject stuff
    Select Maketoys stuff

    That iGear Impactor or PE Beast Wars figures would be nice, whenever they decide to get released.
