Snickers are good. Or you could kill 2 birds with one stone and buy Kabaya- you get Transformer and candy

A present for me. :grin:

Seriously though, you're going to need to give a little more info here.

Before I'm capable of buying MORE Skywarps, I'm going to have to get a FIRST Skywarp.

I think you just got the answer to part of your dilemma.

Nah, I'm not a big fan of the classics seeker mold now that I have one. It's not what I expected at all.

Masterpiece Skywarp is a pretty good option. I've heard of them being spotted at stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls for 30 bucks. You could get MP Skywarp and maybe Animated Wreckgar or Prime (they've also been spotted at TJ Maxx/Marhsalls).

The MP is a little big.

There are lots of choices for Skywarps: Animated, Titanium, Armada, G1... Don't feel like Classics is your only choice.

I think you should buy something that is exactly $67.37

I feel like I'm having one of those days where I state the obvious...

It depends on what you want. What do you tend to favor while collecting? Give us some hints and we can help you find something good.

Really it comes down to buying whatever you want though. We can't hold a gun to your head and make you buy something you don't want. Some collectors like to think Hasbro does that to them...

Or can we? Hmmm... =P~

To say you don't know what you want, you really seem to know what you DON'T want. So you don't want an MP figure because it's too big, you think the Classic Seeker mold sucks. I mean, just what do you want? You have to be a little more specific, otherwise, we're all just wasting our time. No one has any clue about what you're interests are and what you're looking for.

But that's what makes these kind of posts fun.

I honestly don't know why people expect others to help them make a decision. If you can't decide what toy you want, how can you decide anything else.

The day I see one of these threads actually work for someone is the day that I'll eat my shoe.

That's.... kind of depressing...

You could go into Toys 'backwards-R' Us, and let impulse take over. You could get, what, six deluxes? Maybe a pair of leader class figures? Walk in, look at the shelves, and whatever you see that really strikes your eye, don't think, just buy it.

The candy idea is pretty good too, though.

Wait... since when do I depress people. I thought that was Shadowman's job. Something it wrong here!

I didn't mean to depress you. I just find it strange whenever I see a thread asking others what they should buy.

I'm the type of collector who buys whatever he wants and doesn't care what others say.

For kicks and giggles, go onto craigslist and see what some people are selling locally. You might get lucky.

I think craigslist deleted the adult services section.

prostitution is illegal in most places. be discrete.

Just buy something(I can't take the suspense) Maybe a Tuner Mudflap- get those things off the shelves.

I just realized how bad that sounded. I was referring to typing Transformers into the search and see who selling stuff that it Transformers related.

You know what? If you can't think of anything to buy for over $60, just save the money until you find something you actualy want instead of spending just to spend. That's my advice.

If it helps, stuff I got recently include:
- a buttload of KO classics Seekers (and I know that doesn't help)
- Gen. Thunderwing
- Gen. Cliffjumper
- Gen. Cybertron Megatron
- All of the reissued Cessetecons except for the Kiss Players ones. Those I got a while back.

- Protector
- Delicate Warrior (although she's not in-hand yet)
- iGear's City Commander sword and hammer
- Blue Fallen
- Device Label Blaster
- Gen. Red Alert.

And I'll likely get just about all of the classics-themed deluxes when they come out in my area. Those are all the TFs I liked enough to buy recently, so I guess those are the TFs I recommend. But if nothing still doiesn't strike your fancy, put that money into en envolope and spend it when there's something you really want.
