I thought I'd ask a question, with the possibility of there being a lull between the last of the Movie figures and the Animated/Universe lines. What (if anything) will you be buying over the next 3-4 months.

I think the only figure that has caught my eye, is the Takara Henkei Starscream figure. Just because I like the G1 paint scheme, and because I need a new mold Starscream.

Personaly I always work on my vintage gaps during lulls.

This year however with Animated doing much of nothing for me, and Classics being an end of year item, I'm going after the high end big boys, Black Zarak, DeathSaurus, Victory Saber, Grandus...

Overlord and Dai Atlas where on that list, but I scored them in 2007, so I feel I'm off to a good start.

By 2009, I'll have them all.

As for 2009, I think I'm gonna round off the combiner teams, Abominus, DinoKing, Road Ceaser and so on.

I'm waiting for the next line of Encore's, and there's a toy show coming up in March that I'll try to pick up a few more G1's at. I think I'm also going to get some more reprolabels that I need.

Play it by ear mostly.

Save money ... snap up some G1 figures I need, provided they're in good condition and reasonably priced.

[Lapse Of Reason]

There are a couple of Encore reissues coming up that I will be getting (Skylinx and Omega Supreme for sure), as well as Japanese Classic Megatron and Starscream. I'll get the movie battle scenes and the latest Quintesson collection as well as the last two WST Dinobots. Botcon sets are also coming up in a few months.

I have decided to focus my collection on G1 and narrow down some of the non-movie character figures I have. I will be buying the premium movie figs and selling off the plain ones. I am close to (if not exceeding) 200 G1 figures, so I am actually getting pretty close.

I also just bought a custom Thundercats figure set for $600, plus spent about $1400 in G1 figures lately, so that will keep me from buying anything else for awhile.

I, for one, appreciate the lull.

Even though I'll be skipping the Animated line in favour of Universe I'll still have plenty to keep me poor(but happy).

Between now and Universe, there's Encore Jazz, Minibots & Omega Supreme plus Revoltech Starscream & Hot Rod and finally there are some 20th Anniversary 7" Metal Gear Solid figures I need to buy.

Quite frankly it feels like the 'lull' has been going for months in the UK.

This is mainly becuase the movie line is rubbish and we havnt had anything new from said line for a a good long while.

[Pot Bot]

i welcome the lull over here though, ive just started collecting again, and ive got 100's of tf's i want to pick up, so in one sense, im happy that there's nothing much new until may

Same here. I'll prob. go after some G1 stuff, not nec. originals, more likely re-issues, Commemoratives, etc., as well as really anything more recent that catches my eye.

I am looking forward to the new Allspark line, tho- Stockade and Incinerator and repaints like Jetfire and Wingblade, stuff I missed the first time around.

Yeah, and I can't wait for it to end. I probably wont buy anything until April 4th passes and we find out if that is the Animated release date over here. If it is I'll be purchasing Animated, if not then it'll be Alts until Animated comes out.
