Just brought a bunch of stuff and feel kind of bad about spending the money. (Mods are these topics ok to create?)
anyway brought the Dr. Wu Prime cannons for $25 at Ace toys as well as the E-Hobby Decepticons set for $114 so that is $150 shipped.

Also ordered 5 AM-14 Vehicons so that's $160 shipped available in June.
um... good purchases? haven't found any Vehicons in stores near me but what are the chances I'll find 5? at toys or us near me 5 would cost 19 a piece so that would be $95... buying at $32 from robotkingdom is kind of cheap compared to ebay prices but not if i can find it retail here.. its a gamble I guess.

Now someone make me feel better about my purchases

or you can make me feel horrible and tell me that vehicons will be all over the place like what happened with warpath...

anyway thanks in advance for reading

As long as you didn't dip into finances that were to be devoted to necessities (ie bill money, grocery money, rent money, etc.) then you shouldn't feel too bad, especially if you feel you will get enjoyment out of the purchase. However, needing others to make you feel better about your purchase is never a good sign. If you have to question the validity of your own spending history, then you've probably spent a little too much or bought something you don't truly want.

I have to ask, though; what is the point of having 5 Vehicons? Nevermind the fact that you bought the Japanese (and therefore, more expensive) version of the mold. Sorry, but I never understood the desire the troop build. The closest I've come to troop building is buying the 3 different versions of the Junkions, and the only reason I did that was because they had different head sculpts.

hey thanks for your input. I have a separate fund for transformers which is basically everything I sell. (I'm quite a hoarder so when I have new interests I just sell off my older stuff, I've only collected for 2 years)not trying to get validation... just want to talk about it a little bit. yea I'm not sure why but I really do have a strong desire to troop build these things. Went with this version because the "cheaper" version is more expensive on ebay... and I have not seen anything in any of the stores yet... I figure i can always sell some if i ever do find cheaper at retail.

Oh Mods please move this if you feel the need to, i was pointed out that there is already a thread for this.

thanks
