If you don't have them already compare the Takara legends line to the TR figures, I prefer the Takara ones for the most part

Will do. I prefer my Takara stuff to Hasbro already! They represent their G! counterparts so much better.

Overall the paint work is slightly better and they come with more accessories a lot of the time

That is certainly true. All my Takara stuff has more G1 themed stuff rather that items that just "fit" on the figure.

1. Classics Optimus Prime (my favourite Optimus toy ever looking awesome in both modes!)
2. RTS Jazz
3. TR Megatron
4. Unite Onslaught
5. Unite Vortex
6. Unite Blast Off
7. Unite Brawl
8. Unite Swindle
9. CW Blastoff
10. RTS Windcharger
11. Universe Sunstreaker (Replaced only a few days later after updating my Sideswipe)
12. TR Blitzwing
13. Unite Hotspot
12. Unite Streetwise
13. Unite First Aid
14. Unite Groove
15. Unite Blades
16. CW Groove
17. CW Wheeljack
18. Siege Sideswipe
19. Earthrise Sunstreaker
20. Takara United Tracks
21. MFT KO Grimlock
22. Siege Springer
23. T30 Arcee
24. CW Trailbreaker
25. WFC Soundwave

Went with the Siege Springer. Simply because it's slightly shorter and better fitting with the Scale of my collection.

But I refuse to call Slag the name printed on the box! It's blasphemy!

[Jim]

1. Kingdom Warpath (€22.99)

I am off the mark!

The List

Kingdom Warpath
Kingdom Huffer (pre-ordered)
Kingdom Inferno
SS86 Jazz
SS86 Grimlock
Kingdom Airazor

haven't seen yet, so can't be sure

Kingdom Tracks
SS86 Slag

the Maybes

Selects Spin-out and Cordon
Selects Deep Cover

the Rumoured

Earth mode Mirage
Earth mode Sideswipe
Earth mode Red Alert

[Philip Ayres]

31 as of Yesterday! 2 more due TOMORROW, plus 4 are somewhere between Nick and me, quite probably in Nick's front room!

[The Doctor]

Phil will hit 200 in 2021!

-Ralph

[Benn]

By the end of April.

[Nigel]

January's count:

1 Kingdom Cyclonus
2 Kingdom Optimus Primal
3 Kingdom Blackarachnia
4 Kingdom Cheetor
5 Kingdom Paleotrex
6 Kingdom Warpath
7 Kingdom Optimus Prime (Core)
8 Kingdom Rattrap
9 POTP Alpha Trion + Landmine Decoy Armor
10 POTP Liege Maximo + Skullgrin Armor
11 Earthrise Trailbreaker
12 Botbots Glam Glare Fancy Fare

I have another five waiting for me in my shop but as they're not technically in hand, I'm not counting them yet. I assume we're not including the new Funko Pops? If we are, that'd be another five!

A good start, but I'd have to go a long way to beat last year's total, which was somewhere over 200 thanks to a number of Botbots bargains.

23. Galactic Odyssey pursuit
24. Takara legends Overlord

[Shockprowl]

LOOKS LIKE IT'S AN EARLY THREE WAY RACE BETWEEN BIG PHIL, SLACK AND JARL FOR THE 2021 CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[Slack]

Haha, no chance. Last year was crazy for me. This year for me is some Kingdom, Unicron, Selects already preordered and ones that I like, a few takara legends and Unite warriors sets, a few SS86, liokaiser CW, combiner hunters set and then I am checking out .... in theory

I leave it to Phil or Jarl to take up the baton

29. Siege Apeface
30. POTP Jazz
31. MTC Scrapper
32. MTC Hook
33. MTC Longhaul
34. MTC Scavenger
35. MTC Mixmaster
36. MTC Bonecrusher

I will not be keeping this pace. Literally using the money made from selling my G1s to fund modern replacements. I will likely slow down to one a month after they are all sold.

Plus, after avoiding the new stuff for so long, I'm playing catch up, so I literally need to get my hands on everything on the market.

This was me last year, I sold my G1 reissues and MP to get Siege figures, then it became Prime Wars and some early Generations, hence more than 600 figures last year 😂

[Dezzeh]

MP Arcee
SG Prime and Ratchet
Netflix Nemesis Prime

I think you're in the lead with 36! Big Phil's breathing down your neck though! Slack's dropped off the pace with 25, but he's got a fire in his belly, that one, 'n'no mistake. Just waiting for Dez' to pick up some traction though! That guy's crazy!

[Jarl]

I am currently hoping a trade I'm talking about works out, cos then I can add:

Generations Thundercracker
Generations Nightbeat
Generations Springer

And then I'd continue looking at my bank account and Superion as the voices in my head fight it out about the responsible thing to do.

If trade falls through, I'll likely buy Thundercracker and Nightbeat. And then I'd have to walk away from Springer and Superion.

[Slack]

I've been counting purchases, not robots, if it's robots then it's much closer 😁

[Shockprowl]

Yes it's individual robots! I knew you were one to watch.

[Shockprowl]

Or it is individual robots....?



PHIIIIL! WHAT ARE THE RULES HERE?!

[Benn]

I count purchases. But each to thems own.

[The Huff]

Looks like I've started:

Kingdom Cyclonus
Kingdom Blackarachnia
A Botbot
Kingdom Warpath. Blam!
