Right now I have 296 TF. Would have more if I didn't take a yr off from buying. I've been buying since Fall of 2002. I've probably spent a few hundred if not more.

I only have six (five of which are Bumblebees), but I only just started, so it's not too shabby.

I have neither counted nor cared to figure out how much I have spent in a long time. However I would estimate I'm close to 200 figures and I have probably spent $4000-$5000 not a cheap hobby. The Masterpieces alone have run me about $450. Though I count the Macross VF-1S Hikaru Ichijo Valkyrie which looks like Jetfire among them.

I've gotten 54 since I got back in the game a couple of years ago. I also have all of the figures from beast wars except for four that I lost and a few that are broken.

Numbers don't matter, but since you asked I have over 500. To be honest I have not ever counted them. My wife did once, and she got to almost 200 but that was a few years ago and she didn't realize I had more stashed in the closet (I don't display all at once).

As for the money, well I do know I spent over $4,000 in just the past month and another $2,000 in travel expenses related to Botcon. I recently bought Brave Max, G1 Superion, 4 small G1 combaticons, minibots reissue, G1 Gnaw, G1 Wheeljack, G1 Omega Supreme, G1 Ironhide, 2007 Botcon sets boxed and bagged x 3 of each, all 2007 Botcon exclusives x 9, Tigerhawk, Armada Unicron, Pepsi Primes x 3, Music label Soundwave preorder, the two upcoming WST Dinobots preorder, BT Clear Mirage preorder. This was, however, a very big TF buying month for me and some of those will be resold to balance what I spent.

Here's a collection question: How many of us here keep a list of what's all in their collection? I know I do, it's on my computer. I always try to update it when I bring home something new. That's also how I keep track of how many I have in my collection.

I've tried making lists but they never workout too well. I count some weird stuff sometimes. Just on my Optimus shelves I have the Target GiftCard, the McDonalds French Fries Happy Meal Transformer, a MicroMachine that looks like Optimus, a red Pez despenser big rig that has flames on the trailer, the red Lunchable Optimus toy, OptimiMash, and a Optimus head that was on top of a lollipop from the convienence store across the street from my building. Some may count, most don't. Well, I think they all are or remind me of Prime in some form. Similar with Megatron, Nemesis Prime, Ultra Magnus, etc.

I tried, and failed. I really should though. I have well over 1000. And that's counting minicon teams as 1 not 3.

As far as what I spent :shock: , good lord, I don't wanna know.

Yeah u cant really count minicons, micro masters or Robot Heros as individuals-i only count them in there complete teams as 1. And i dont count anything i plan on using as kitbash fodder.

so i have a bit over 130, which considering where i live is alot as tfs are mad expensive here with present convertion rates my master pieces alone have cost me 572.066 USD, thats just for 3!

So my collect has probably cost 2000 to 3000 so far

I don't keep a list yet, because even I can keep track of six TFs. When the collection gets into double digits (insert dramatic chord here), I'll probably start up a list.

I have 59 altogether, 26 of which are G1's and re-issues. the rest are must haves like 20th prime etc but most are just stuff i bought on impulse which i will try and get rid of soon. (lol cutting down on a collection thats 59 strong)

My collection is small and mostly made up of what i like so its easy to create a list, and its actually been quite helpful because i want to narrow my collecting to G1 only because i don't really like the colour schemes of the later lines (bright turquoise and neon green?? :SICK: )

Alt/BT and the masterpieces will have to stay though as well as Armada Unicron and Cyb Primus (these are my essentials)

No, 61 is Starscream. The rest is a mix of Skywarp other repaints and other toys.
