Buuut since Classics/Generations line, I've been into that and only that. Trying to build up a G1 Neo verse. So some AEC repaints fall into that category, and when it comes to US vs Japanese stuff, I pick and choose. Example, I have United Jazz and don't need RTS, but I want US Grappel and not United Grapple. But usually one of an actual character is good enough for me. There are times where I have multiples, but not often. Oh and I'm a sucker for troop building. Seekers, Sharkticons, Sweeps.

I don't do animated because I don't want to get sucked into to many lines. One is expensive enough.

I don't do movie because I really dislike their aesthetics. Everytime I do buy a movie fig, I remember why I dislike them in the first place and in the random bins they go (smh). Only movie figure I can even kinda like are both Bludgeons.

This, except I got really into Animated for a while. I've since sold most of the figures, only keeping a few that fit into my Neo-G1 aesthetic.

I only collect Mudflap and variations of Mudflap.



I am the prime market for Tuner Mudflap.

I'm kinda not quite, but maybe, I don't know.

I'm a completist in the sense that I want to collect every Energon TF that was in the cartoon and then get the DVD set of the show. I also want to complete a set of the best versions of all of the TFs in the first movie (Premium releases over the regular ones). But then I also collect some TFs I just think are cool. Like Armada Thundercracker and Wheeljack, G1 TFs that are iconic to me (Bluestreak, Gears, Shockwave and Astro Train), and G1 homages like Universe/Classics when I can afford them.

Right now, TFs are taking a back seat to Star Wars and G.I.JOE. If I had the $$$, I'd be buying a lot more (movie TFs to complete that set, Energon TFs to complete that run, Universe/Classics to enjoy the old as new, and some stuff that is just too cool (Masterpiece and a few other Alternators/Binaltech). I really need to make a list of what I have now so I know for sure what to get. My current focus is to get a ROSS priced ROTF Long Haul for sale/trade. I just LOVE Dumptrucks for some reason and that fig is a MUST have for me. I just can't afford much for him.

Definitely pick N choose treating it all like a buffet, take what you want and leave the rest...'nuff said!!

I'm pretty much a pick & choose kind of collector. I collect various lines and feel no pressure at all to complete them.

I do like to collect as many versions of a favorite character across different lines, though. But even then, I'd have to really like the fig itself to buy it.

I'm a pick and choose buyer, although sometimes do I end up getting most of the figures in a line. When I do, however, it's just because I happen to like most of them, not because I try to get as many figures from the line as possible.

pick and choose definatly, its expensive as it is and i cant afford to be a completist

I stopped buying after I bought my G2 prime
But when I started back up with beast machines (yeah I know) I bought every single one. It came down to. well I dont want him but I just need him and 2 others to have all of them.
It went on until I got married (no more money ) by that time energon rolled around and I got picky. I am so mad I didn't buy all the classics jets when they came out cause the price hurts now

anybody got a ramjet or skywarp just kidding
