Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

GAH!! I gave in!!!

Well finally Target had in the new Movie Heroes (minus Ironhide and Brawl).
I told myself for a long time that Robot Heroes were the only TF toy I'd collect until the animated series.
And then because they're on sale, I broke down and picked up Bonecrusher and Brawl...
Of course now I'm gettin' the itch to pick up Barricade, Bumblebee, AND Blackout.
It's kinda weird, B.B. is really the only Autobot I have any remote desire of buying.
IF I bought a deluxe Optimus, I may not even open it.

Should I go ahead and buy those other 3?

Part of me wants to hold off, cause I'm really thinking that I'll end up getting all of the animated toys (except repaints).
The less I buy now, the more I won't have a problem dropping money later on.

Anyway, I haven't opened Bonecrusher or Brawl yet...

Go for Barricade, at least.
Although, the paint on his doors chips easily.

Prime is good, but watch for loose legs.

It's weird...
Suddenly I want to get some stuff that I've been seeing for a while.

Both B.B.'s, a classic Prime, the 20th anniversary Prime,
and the deluxe Megatron.
And if I could find them, a classic Thundercracker, and maybe Starscream.
Oh, and I think at some point I'll want to get the voyager Screamer too.

BUT, right now, I can't decide if I want to open what I have.

Buy them.

Not only that, buy 2 of each, one to open one to keep MIP!

See, problem solved!

In all seriousness, if you don't have a 20th prime, make it an early present to yourself. It's a great figure!!

As for the other movie figs, I'd say get the ones you think you'll like. Im just now going back and getting a lot of energon figs I never picked up and it's costing me waaaaay too much for guys that I could have had at clearance prices If I'd bought them then :sad:
For Sale:
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB
Classics Devastator MIP
HA Sideswipe K-Mart exclusive color Loose

Currently looking for:
ROTF Target exclusive Sideswipe from the 2-pack
TFCC Punch/Counterpunch
Alternity Primes, silver & white versions
(opened is OK, to be used for customs)

PM If interested

Unfortunately, I really can't spend the money to get two of each that I'm wanting.
And I know it makes sense; one to open, one to have MIP.
Unless they go on a ridiculously awesome sale.
For now, I'm leaving them unopened.

What I could see happening is me getting two of most of the animated figs.

And at some point, I'll probably get the 20th Anniversary Prime.
