Just based on which figures we think are going to be released next year, which ones are you definitely going to buy, and which are you considering buying? I think this exercise can help us personally plan for expenses and set a collecting budget for the coming year.

I'll start.

Preordered:
Maketoys Chaos/Paladin (100 USD)
FP Explorer and Munitioner rerelease (130 USD)
FP Function X-1 (70 USD)
MI Apex and Geminus (70 USD)
Xovergen Trailerforce (150 USD)
Headrobots Drone Kit (35 USD)

Definitely or most probably will buy (pending more info):
Cubex Chrome Blaster for ROTF Leader Prime (40 USD)
MMC Feroricons (400 USD?)
MMC Hexatron (Shadowmaru deco, 130 USD?)
FP Menasor (350 USD?)

I'm sure we'll get more news about other upcoming figures in the coming months. But just based on figures that we already know, that's already almost 1,500 USD, and I was already being selective (no Uranos, no Project Genesis)! I don't think this is sustainable. Man, something's gotta give.

 

FP Menasor
MMC Predaking
MMC Sixshot
MT Fallen
MI Topspin/Twin Twist
iGear Gears
iGear Beachcomber
iGear Outback
iGear Swerve

Might possibly get TFC Superion but I'm not 100% sold on it yet. Same with FP headmasters

 

Already have preorders for:

FansProject Function X1
Maketoys Missile Launcher Jungle Toys
Mechideas Longblast

Some older sets I plan to get (money permitting)
CHMS G1 Breakdown
iGears UFO and Cogz
Mastershooter Shooter Masters
TFClub Gear of War

 

MT Green Giant
FP Menasor

and if someone makes a cool upgrade head for Giant I'd get that.

I'm sure there will probably be more but those are the important ones..

 

whatever i can afford

 

TFC Perseus

 

Same thing I planned on getting in 2011 and 2012 - iGears PRESSER!!!!  

 

The Ferocicons, probably Hexatron and any and all Mini Warriors.

 

I think I'll just settle on Hasbro's Impactor to save some money. Erase that, to actually get an Impactor.  

New year's resolution: 3rd party purchases end with minor accessories, the remaining (core) Wreckers members, and Predaking, Menasor, and Defensor (if it gets made). These combiners are damn expensive. And sell a couple of Optimus Primes to finance 3rd party buys.

 

Mines a huge list.

iGear Cogz.



If they do Windcharger I'll definitely get him too. Besides that I'm waiting to see more of Shockwave and Superion before deciding for sure. Isn't there supposed to be a Trailbreaker too? If that sees the light of day and is the right size it's also in the possibilities side.

 

I'm committed to Uranos and I-Gear Mini Warriors.
I'm eager for FP Menasor.

Anything else is up in the air at this point.

Edit: FP Warbugs. as soon as the preorders are out, they'll have my money.

 

MI Apex and Geminus, iGear Presser, Headrobots Drone Kit & MT Green Giant as long as money situation permits.

 

Maketoys Computron. I really want to see more about this toy if its anything like Giant I will be all over it.

Fansproject headmasters I missed out on X1 sadly but the others I really want

 

Preordered - I'm assuming anything scheduled for December 2012, that isn't out yet, probably won't drop before the end of the year

- Mastershooters ShooterMasters Core Set, Autobot Set and Decepticon Set
- Headrobots Drone
- Dr Wu Prime Sword (blue Matrix)
- Mech Ideas Apex and Geminus
- FansProject X-1
- Maketoys Chaos Paladin
- TFC Eagle and Blackbird/Phantomray
- X-Transbots Uranos weapon upgrade set

Definite purchases:

- FP Stunticons
- FP Headmasters
- The remaining two parts of TFC Uranos

Items I might get

- MMC Ferocicons, but I'll wait for reviews first

 

What are these? I did a quick BBTS and Yahoo image search and came up empty.Does the name imply targetmasters?

There is noway i could afford all the cool stuff coming out.How much longer can we drop 1000$+ before the market crumbles....That said,i want alot of it.Stunticons being at the top.

Edit:Nevermind on the mastershooters.I went further down the forum and found a thread about it....

 

As many as I can within reason.

 

It's scary to think. just combiners there will be 4 to 5. Or at least 3 out of 5 is a must buy.

TFC Uranos 5/6
UT Beasticus
MMC Ferocicons
FP Menasor
Maketoys Computron

 

Everything that FP, MT, MMC, PE, Renderform, Maiden Japan releases, I buy, multiples.

iGear, headrobots, TFC, and any other unknown groups are on a "review to buy" basis.

Estimated cost this year? who knows? I don't really care.

 

Definitely:
FP Function X1
MMC Hexatron

Most likely:
MMC Ferocicons
FP Menasor
Toyworld Aurora + other throttlebots
Toyworld Headmasters
FP Headmasters, depending on how good FX1 is

Undecided:
The last three Uranos bots
IGear minibots
MT Computron?

 

I'll be buying Fansproject's Chromedome as of now. I'd like to get their Menasor as well but this hobby is getting too expensive for my tastes. Here's what's on my wish list:

FP Menasor
MT Computron
MT Mobain Paladin/Chaos
MMC Hexatron
MMC Ferocicons
MI Apex and Geminus
Igear Cogz
Toyworld Throttlebots
