I'm geeky enough to keep a spreadsheet (I also know exactly how much I've spent....)

2003: 17
2004: 25
2005: 30
2006: 23
2007: 37
2008: 48
2009: 63
2010: 26

So I guess over the last couple of years it's about 50 figures a year, roughly one per week. :-B

I used to buy anywhere between 2 to 5 per month depending on what was out, but since having a baby, that's down to like 2 every 4 to 5 months. I try to just concentrate on those that I really, really like. Deluxes are easiest to buy cause they're a tad cheeper for my buck, yet they have a bit more size and complexity compared to scout class. For me to spend over 20 on a figure it's got to be sometihng that I've really been wanting.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who bought 50+ Transformers in 2009 and also glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is cutting back this year!

I've now decided not to get Generations Blurr due to the fact that the final product doesn't look enough like the G1 version (I'll wait for Takara Tomy's version) but just pre-ordered Predaking from a site here in Japan.
1 a month this year has been difficult but wallet friendly.
It has taken so much discipline and patience waiting for them to be delivered each month.
But my Seacons are waiting for me to pick up at the post office tomorrow ;-)

I estimate that I've bought about 40 a year since 2006. Hasbro seem to have become worse at British distribution recently so I think numbers are down now.
