I am beginning to regret the £10 I spent on the 'bit pish' Generations Jetfire. I could have had two suppers from the local chippy with enough change left for a bottle of fizzy pop instead! Yes but if buyers remorse kicks in you're guaranteed to get more than a tenner for it!! EDIT: Also your chippy is far cheaper than mine ;_; |

I have bought exactly zero, this year. But Cloud Shockwave and MP Road Rage came in this week, so I've aquired two. All toys that end up in your hands this year count even if you paid for them in a previous year! |

Technically I have acquirred a £10 Jetfire, but as this has been acquirred for refit and modification it is not flight-certified. It may not be until much later in the year that it's transformation is completed and it emerges from the Skunk Works. It is officially in the inventory though, so it counts.

I'm biding my time, ordering priorities, preparing new lists and letting the engines idle while I plan. Trying to strategize won't work though because release dates are so variable. yeah. And then ten minutes later Hasbro throws Technobots at you. What's a man to do?! Planning! Pshaw. |

Though I have aquired 59 Justice League Unlimited figures since christmas. wait, what? 59? What scale are these?! I think 59 in a week qualifies as off the scale! JLUs were 3 3/4" scale. They weren't terribly expensive back in the day, but were heavily scalped. Meaning a lot of characters you had to pay out the butt for. And because of that, I honestly couldn't be bothered back then. However, when I went to get my favorites from a watch through over Christmas, I discovered the market had completely bottomed out, and there are really only a handful of figures that still collect a premium. I've also found some great deals on sets that do command high dollar. I just scored the 6-pack with Tala for $10, when it averages $30-50. That's been my biggest problem, is finding deals like that that are too good to pass up. |

A point of order:
Having managed to acquire another RiD Warrior for Jonathan should TFs bought for him count in my totals do you think?

Depends if you feel bad or good about large numbers of purchases, really. ;-)

Well, I paid for MP Ironhide but he hasn't turned up yet so I don't think he counts yet.

MP Shockers and Ramjet paid for, takes my total up to £480 for the year. More than I wanted to have spent, but at least I'm nearly out of pre-orders now!

So far ive bought
CW - Onslaught, prowl, mirage, Sunstreaker, Air raid, Alpha Bravo
Ordin - Abominus
Generations - the cassettes from Toys R us
Ive also signed up for the TFSS for this year.
Worryingly the first quarter of the year is usually quieter on the toy front as all my families birthdays occur at this time. I've still not done bad so far, could be another expensive year

Still none for me and not likely to be any for a while unless CW goes on clearance.

Jetfire aside Ive only picked up some 07 ROTF legends from a car boot sale last week.
I bought the Autobot CW car wave but took them back as I had better uses for £50 at the time.

After a rather slow start my 25th Transformer of the year arrived today along with numbers 20-24. Giventhat we're less than 1/4 through the year I stand a very good chance of doing the ton in 2016!

Im up to about 50 for the last week alone after last night's bulk buy which I then followed up with ROTF Arcee, Chromia, Elita 1, Demolishor and G1 repaint of Mixmaster. I may have gone overboard. |

Last year frightened me a bit so I've been trying to tone it down this year, but I'm on the verge of a load of preorders which will cost a fair bit so I'm not sure if I'm winning or not.
