    I might pick up one or two. Definitely gonna try not to pick up any repeat characters.

    I'm too engrossed with Macross right now to spend money elsewhere.

    My list is continually dwindling, and considering I originally only wanted about 5 toys from the line, I pretty much don't have a list anymore. The only bot I plan on picking up is Sideswipe as of now.

    Screen only characters for me, and none of the characters from the original film aside from Prime, Megs and Starscream.

    join the club, lol. it's not essentially being a GEEWUNNER, it's having taste, like for example liking a classic camaro versus a bodiless nascar, some might like everything exposed like that, others want nice lines and/or curves, personally, give me nice lines and curves

    Hard as it may be, I am never going to buy another Trnsformer again. I have far too many, and I just wish I could get rid of them... I like them when they are new, but within an hour or two, I can only think of the next purchase :( 
    Tempted as I will be, I refuse to buy anymore :)

    Can't sucker me into any newer Transformer that Rolls on the Floor----- I laugh :thumbdown 

    G1, Alternators, Encore and MP only. No kiddie stuff for me. Each of us have our favorites and those are mine. It's my opinion.

    As do I. :D 

    BUT...I also like steam locomotives, and I think they're most aesthetically pleasing when they're brashly mechanical, all purposeful piping and linkages. That's the same chord the Bayformers struck with me, I think.

    i

    If I remember it was a long while before I saw any Premium figures, I remember the pegs being clogged before I saw the 2 or 3 stuck into the flock.

    Pretty much the same for me....although I buy the occasional Classic/Henkei toy to fiddle with at my desk.

    I brought some of the 1st movie toys, but with fan custom toys and lots of universe and classics stuff i still havent brought, i might skip em. I need an Energon Omega Supreme before I would need a Movie Prime or Megs. But I might bite and grab a couple.

    Just Optimus Prime (maye Jetfire to combine him with) for me. I have zero interest in any of the others unless they're on clearance.

    I plan to get a lot fewer movie toys this time around than I did for the first one, if that means anything.

    Yep fingers crossed that they get that it was the mix of good guys and bad guys that helped propel Transformers over cartoons and toys that didn't make it.
