When I realized that my desk and three bookshelves are full of the little b*stards. :grin: I'm at the point of no return. I'll still buy more, but only the ones I really like.

Currently everytime I buy a new figure I have to redo my display area.

Im going to have to do a cleanup and put some of the lesser-liked figurines away in a storage tub or something... :sad:

I have never had this thought, but I'm sure my wife does every time she sees a new Transformer displayed in my office.

Everytime I buy one I usually have a 5 minute period of "What the hell was I thinking, buying a toy?!" Then I love it.

I kinda had that feeling last night when I bumped my collection number up to 43 by buying a whole lot of Cybertron and Alternator figures that I didn't plan on buying. $200 worth.

Especially since I have NO WHERE to display them. Many of literally not been taken out of the shopping bags.
For the love of Primus, why must I be a Mississippi State fan?

When having this much fun with Transformers, other than "what you can afford", should there ever be a limit?
