I just buy what I like.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

Motto: "SHEEAGH!"
I stick to series I like, which right now includes Prime and Generations. I also have been getting the G1 Encore figures if the original figure is not in my collection. Other figures pop in as I like them, or 3rd party stuff as it accentuates existing series. For instance, I have several movie figures whose sole purpose is to be reworked by Headrobots add-ons and then added to the Generations lineup.

Whatever looks good on the shelves with the other collectibles.
I hate rules, you can't make rules buying toys from a company that never follows
through with what they say and or do.

Weapon: No Weapon
I generally tend to focus on classics/neo G1-G2 characters, stand ins, and anything that could work retroactively G1 or G2, with some rather loose rules to tie it together. Otherwise the only other solid rule I try to stand by is unless it is a series I truly like, only get Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee/Cheetor/HotShot, and Starsream. I've not broken that rule in passing because something caught my fancy so much as it did my brother, with whom I share a collection.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

don't take that to mean I'm a killjoy just because I can be, though...

If you start out by trying to complete a line or something, you're going to get frustrated. Start out small, get what you like, and branch out from there.

Weapon: Null-Ray Rifle
I started with a set of rules when I began collecting, and eventually broke all of them.

Now I buy what I like and don't bother attempting to stick to any line. If possible, I'd choose a character that can aesthetically blend into different continuities (e.g., PRID Soundwave can arguably fit in with Bayverse's super-complex aesthetics, etc.) but if I like a fig enough, I just buy it.

I was just buying whatever I liked until recently when it REALLY started to get expensive. So I started focusing on my Classics and MP sets, then just a few weeks later SDCC 2007 Rodimus - Ford GT showed up in my PoL! #-o
