Yeah that certainly puts everything into horrifying context. Quite. Big numbers I was going to say compared to Phil's usual spending it doesn't look too bad, but then that doesn't account for money already spent Already Spent = £477.15, which includes Retro Starscream, Shadowstrip & Crasher which haven't arrived yet. Plus Skyquake, SS86 Snarl, Toxitron, Cloudcover & Jazz aren't on there as their amounts are already on the main spending spreadsheet, another £262.94 or all the exclusives we don't yet know about. Yeah, nothing Amazon rumoured yet The main reason I've done this list was to try to work out what to buy as, at the moment, I only have £800 toy spending left on the spreadsheet. The Transformers I know are coming are obviously more than than! Everything down to Armada Op is £530 and will get brought. Nemesis will be a sale purchase. That leaves £270 to fund £682 worth of toys A few things might be 2023, Swoop & Scrapheap, but the rest.... And those TF numbers don't include how much MOTU Origins will come out. I've already paid for some exclusives but there's a Talon Fighter I will need. I may need to choose carefully which figures I buy there. The problem is I have rather overspent the first few months of the year catching up with MOTU. I was almost pleased when Retro 375 got paused. Epics are budgeted separately and hopefully will turn out cheaper than budgeted returning c£30 a month to the budget |

From my own experience, having less money for toys means that purchases are considered and appreciated to a greater extent.
I would also advise waiting for sales more rather than pre-ordering everything. Not a cticism! Just means you could get more bang for your budget.
Genuine question: how do you know you want the Nemesis? We know nothing about it.

Origins for me filled the gap where I wasn't buying all the beast wars generations figures, but now Evolution has diversified a bit I have more wants on the list and I'm finding it a bit tight doing it all. Still, technically I only need Thunderpunch and Duplico to be current with origins, unless I go back for the remaining retail figures for a clean sweep.

The Nemesis is an odd one. The Ark worked because its basically flat, but how do you do a free standing Nemesis? It would have to go vertical on its tail.

I am expecting the Nemesis, judging by the art on the Ark, to basically be an oversized Decepticon Strike Plane, with extra tail bits.
Retool into Underbase Starscream

The Government has been slightly more generous than usual. The incs for my PHI will also come in September, but that's already earmarked for any energy bill shenanigans |

1. G1 Sandstorm (~€35.08)
2. G1 Dead End (~€22.63)
3. MPG Shouki (~€140.00)
4. MPG Getsuei (€144.99)
5. Superlink Sprung (€46.42)
6. Superlink Inferno (€24.13)
7. Superlink Inferno-Volt (€24.13)
8. Metals Terrorsaur (€32.90)
9. Superlink Landmine (€40.22)
10. Superlink Laser Wave (€29.25)
11. Superlink Blast Arm (€11.70)
12. Legends LG-20 Skids (€36.56)
13. Beast Wars Torca (€35)
14. Beast Wars Injector (€50)
Injector has been a mid-level Want for a long time, and the Triple Takeover minisode on Fuzors pushed me into hunting one down. The same seller made me an offer on Torca and I was weak. Given the GPS issues I think he might remain sealed for a long time.
