How much time do you guys spend 'playing' with your TFs on average? By 'playing' I mean transforming or posing them.

Some days I'll not touch them, others I'll take a minute or two to repose one but right now I'm going to go and spend about half an hour transforming a few before going to bed.

Weekdays: 10-15 mins before bed every other night.

Weekends: 1-3 hours, but mostly it's only because I like to organize my shelves often

I actually enjoy the savouring of anticipation. I enjoy knowing I could pick up a figure and play with them at any time.

That's probably because I'm too lazy to get up though.

Regularly, I may only handle my TF figures for a few minutes to half an hour every other day. It's mainly to transform them or adjust them for displaying as well as for dusting them off every week or so.

Right now with my busier schedule and with most of my figures packed away for storage, it's rare that I have any play time.

I seem to never get any time to mess with my TF's. I will go for a week or more without seeing them, but then If I have time I just take a few and transform them, or repose a few. My girl seems to think my time would be better spent shoveling the snow out of the driveway or hanging Christmas lights.........and honestly, she is right. However, if she goes out I will grab a few and "play". Then play guitar.

Hardly ever.

I don't know...it's different for me. I don't handle them all that often.

I have one of my shelves downstairs. I pick them up all the time and mess around with them when I am not actively involved in something else- like when I am watching tv. If I am switching things up on the shelves I will work on it like 20-30 minutes on the weekend.

I have a few on my desk that I mess around with just because they have fun transformations. All of the rest of them on my shelves are untouched most of the time, unless its one ot the stubborn ones that topple over from a slight breeze.

Some, like MP Megatron, I transformed once back, has never been touched since.

I usually pick one or two out to transform back and forth while I work at home, just in between page loads and such, I'd say on average about 5 mins a day.

I transform like some women knit. I watch TV, talk on the phone, just chill all while continually transforming my figs--basically, any time my hands are idle. Once they are all in one mode, I begin changing them all back to the other mode and so on and so forth (it of course can take many sittings to accomplish a "round.")

I also play with them by having them do battle or act out storylines, but this is less often.

At work during lunch and at home in the evening, after the kids are in bed. Prob. an hour or so a day. I usually pick a couple that I take to work with me for a week, posing, modding, detailing, etc. on my lunch hour.

Only about 15 minutes a week. I mainly keep them on display but every once in a while, I'll transform them from their alt mode to robot and back.

Short Answer: A lot.
Long Answer: I usually pick two to three out over the course of a day, transform them a dozen or so times, fly or drive them around my house (note: I actually own the house), engage them in epic poses of robot fighting fury, take pictures of said epic poses, fire the missiles, mess about with the various gimmicks... at 25 I really am just a big kid who loves his toys.

Hahahahaha! Sounds like you get the full value out of your TFs AND you house!

I tried to pose them recently (got a good idea on how to do so) but due to the overwhelming school work I was unable to do so... my TFs are all randomly arranged now due to me trying to "play" with them the last time (a month ago) but couldn't think of a theme or anything so I just put them back randomly..
