You can find out a lot about a figure, good or bad, which you wouldn't know if it weren't for this site. And then there's the figures you'd know absolutely nothing about (Japanese exclusives) if it weren't for the site.

So yes. Yes it does.

LOL @ DevastaTTor's post.

Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here all night.

You know, I can only be a huge fan of 1 forum comedian at a time. You and CP are gonna have to work something out. Fight! Fight! Fight! :lol:

He's still the varsity team comedian. I'm just JV.

Any one else find them self's spending more just coming here?

Just getting in the loop here with all this info definitely took money out of my pocket. But its worth it

Moonbase2 wrote:Oh yeah. I bet in the last three months I have probably spent over $500 dollars, at least $200 of which was on comics (catching up and some old stuff). I've bought quite a few toys, and four t-shirts. Oh and the movie, which I've seen five times (usually less than six dollars for the tix, tho). Being a TF fan is NOT cheap. But it's fun. I can thank this place for a lot of info.

i totally agree with ya all, seibertron grabbed my inner geek and gave him a good shaking! Although i must have already had my geekishness reawakened in order to find seibertron....hmmm chicken and egg me thinks

Anywho Moony i have also seen movie 4 times, but i only paid once! I got 3 special screenings, and then i took my son.

Special screenings are win!

This site has definitely helped me find figures that I've wanted, and it's changed or made up my mind on figures that I was thinking about getting. But I haven't bought any figures that I wouldn't have bought had they been avialable in my area.

Nope. It actually saves me money by being a great research tool and providing information on good deals.

2nd that. This forum only helps me spend more "wise money".

Love this place man!

Cheers!

Hey.. if it wasn't for this forum, I would have spent money on figures that have dissapointed many others!

I'm buying more, but only because I'm able to spend
less. The picture galleries and little mini-reviews help to,
especially if I'm on the fence on a figure.

I have gone both ways - this forum has encouraged me to spend money on figures I was otherwise uninterested in, usually due to the excellent photo galleries.

In contrast, however, I have also gotten into figures such as Botcon sets and made a lot of money reselling them. If it was not for my interest in Seibertron and Transformers, I probably would not have attended Botcon this year.

I enjoy the community, resources, and, most importantly, the spirit of what http://www.seibertron.com has to offer.

However, Ryan's Galleries have made me hunt down many figures I would never have known about.

Same here, lad.
