Only Transformers I like the designs of, doesn't matter if they are transforming, non-transforming, show, or non-show, if I like it I buy it, if I don't like it I won't buy it.

i'll go with this one! there are tons of transformers i've passed on just because i did'nt like the way they look. others because of price and so on. if i like it, its mine, if not well.....

I tend to buy the ones I think look cool or have good reviews that make me end up liking the figure enough to buy it. I lean towards buying my favourite chars if the toys are good though. Lastly they must transform (usually).

I used to be gung ho, having to get every toy that appeared in the show. Now I buy only toys that appeal to me, regardless of show status.

Did you just say you'll buy toys that have good "reviews" ugh I hate reviewers.

Honestly other than telling you facts like "doesn't stand up well in robot mode" all a review is going to tell you is the wrighters' personal opinions.

for me, strictly show/comic toys only, unless i get one in a freebie or set. i don't really dig variants. the exception to this is the Classics line. pretty amazing figures all in all, just ruined by bad QC.

:MAX:

Lately I've been compelled by the Takara Encore series! The box is very very g1 reminiscent and I like the Japanese all over the box. It feels more authentic than U.S. reissues.

I go for the classics and energon line.. And some of the movie stuff also

Some of the Energon toys looks interesting.

I buy pretty much any TFs that interest me. I have figures from every line from G1 on to the movie. I'll buy figures as long as the figures interest me, but once I lose interest in a line I won't buy any more (looking at the crappy movie line....)

Yeah, repaints are iffy, I only buy them if the original mold is good, and the repaint is a significantly different character or a homage(i.e. Excellion, who is all 3 :grin:

)

I buy stuff I like that I can get. I look around, read reviews, check photos and decide if I like it. Can't really see the point of doing it any other way.

I just buy the ones I like.

I did get sucked into the movie toys though, and I have all the on screen characters, and all the non-movie characters with heads :-)

'Cause that would be my pick.

Same, except I like the Robot Heroes, they're cute.

my collection has G1, movie and Alt/BT.

I try and restrict myself to only having one character from any line. For instance, I have 20th Anniversary Prime so I didn't by Movie Prime (Leader or Voyager). This helps me not go overboard and save me money, although I miss out on some really good figures (Classics Prime for example).

As opposed to those without head? ;;)
