How many Transformers do you buy per month?

How many Transformers do you buy per month? Be they brand-new, vintage from eBay, or whatever.

I say 9-12, but it really depends on what is available, what's new etc, I mean like last month I only got like maybe 3 transformers, but a coupld months ago, I got like 20, it always changes for me

Maybe around 4-5 a month, mostly from ebay nowadays. Of course, if a line pops up that I like, I sometimes go mad

I chose 20-30, but I must make clear that the vast majority of those are from local car boot sales and that I'm averaging out over the last year or so when I've come across a few large lots of RID and later that have boosted numbers. Botcon and AA account for the rest. In the last year I've only bought a handful of Universe and Classics from the shops.

Not too many now, 'cos the toys I want (ie Masterpiece Soundwave and Shockwave, Classics Jazz) don't exist! Got everything else I want!

It varies. I usually will pick up one or two most months but not always.

I put 1-2. So far in 2010 I've had ROTF Devastator and have just put a pre-order in for the next Alternitys. I don't imagine getting anything else this year, but I will have my eye on a reduced ROTF Leader Starscream when it happens.

Ask me when I start buying again... For now I'm working on re-establishing my personal finances after going bust following three years. At my height, I was buying a few hundred TFs per month... but I ended up with zero myself :-)

Before opening my store, I think my monthly average was 1 or 2. When a new series would come out, I'd usually buy the initial first wave in full and then selectively add to it.

It would also depend on finances.

I hate the fact that after all that effort I'm back down to frickin' zero But having closed my store, at least I'm not incuring any more costs and once I pay off my debts and settle down...

I'll start up the collection.

One thing that you learn over time - at least that I learned - is that there's no such thing as "lost forever."

All the Transformers a guy could possibly want ARE out there. Some might cost more, some less... but in the grand scheme of things it all averages out.

So - I know I'll rebuild the collection.

Only this time - one change: no more comics. I wanna get the DVDs - especially since it seems that Victory and Headmaster are also available.

Having gotten Gundam, Haruhi and Gurren Lagann on DVD, I've come to appreciate being to watch cartoons - so...I think I'll wanna do the same with Transformers.

But for now...the answer remains zero.

If all goes well - I'll get my first TFs in August when Generations and Power Core Combiners come out.

Varies a lot for me, actually. I'll maybe buy one or two a month at most, most of the year round... But in the summer, come exam time, I tend to go a bit crazy...
