Ok so I need some one to help me decide what characters I should try to get. I perfer deluxe class and I'm hopeing someone can help me decide what bot's I need.

I'm looking for deluxe class characters that I don't have any new or old versions of.
I guess I'll list the ones I already have... and if anyone can tell me what characters I need to add, please let me know. these are all the characters from the deluxe class part of my collection... I know It's a list and even i don't like to read that much but I just need to be set in the right direction.

Optimus- 3 different kinds.
bumble bee- 4 different kinds.
Brawl- movie.
Demolisher- energon.
Megatron- War for cybertron.
Hot shot- cybertron cartoon series.
Barricade- DOTM mechtech version.
Buzzsaw- cybertron cartoon series.
Long Rack- cybertron cartoon series.
Sidwipe- movie version wth flames on hood?
Sideways- cybertron cartoon series.
Cyclonus- Generations set with rodimus/Hot rod.
Rodimus/Hot rod- same set as cycolnus of course.
Gears- movie and is missing chest piece...
Arcee- movie.
Soundwave-animated.
Brawn-movie I don't like this one much. could use a better version.

I think thats all of them. I'm only concerened with having as many different deluxe class characters as i can... so i don't usually plan to buy more of the same robot. just one unless i find another that's better or hard to find. i'm just not sure what characters i should be looking to get next. all i need are some names and i can start looking.

Space Case would be good but is hard to find, also the wreckers are cool figures roadbuster and topspin, leadfoot is not out yet. Crankcase, voyager shockwave, if your only looking at the new dotm line.

Why don't you browse the Seibertron toy galleries? They are a big help to me when trying to make a decision.

well I can't think of any to look for. even if i use the gallery and i have before if i don't know what to look for it won't be any help. Maybe i need a list of every character ever made as a toy? of course i don't know where to find that ethier! I'm just trying to collect at least one Deluxe class figure of each character made at that scale. they don't have to be from the same series.

Try this sites Toy sightings product listing category. It gives you pictures and it is broken up into individual line categories. Like ...Generations, Reveal the shield, Hunt for the Decepticons, and so on. Once you find something that sparks your inerest use the Internet and google to get more pictures and YouTube reviews to help you decide. You are the best judge on what you think is cool, and what you will enjoy. The listing just helps give you a better idea of what's out there.

If you are looking for older lines like G1's or reissues, or past exclusives...check the internet for more sites like this..such as TFSource.com...Big Bad Toy store.com

Space Case (I just spell it Spacecase since it seems better) would probably be your best dice roll. Otherwise, you can browse Seibertron's Galleries, like DISCHARGE said...

You know... Why is it that every time I have a chance to get a Deluxe class starscream figure that I buy something else? like I'm pretty sure I've bought TF's that I already have a different series deluxe class figure when i should have bought a starscream Deluxe class bot!

of course this do'es not include the time I bought Deluxe mechtech barricade I never had him before as a deluxe figure. but I never should have bought movie Brawn! he's the worst TF I ever thought I wanted. maybe that's when I should have bought some kind of deluxe starscream...


I'll admit I've got alot of use from Brawns guns! the only good thing about him is that my other TFs really like to "borrow" his Pistols

this^

the galleries not only provide you with great in-depth images of the figures from packaging to posing but most times you get to see them with similar figures to see how good of a fit they are. also if your on the fence with for example bb there are many comparison pics between his different versions. i tend to use the galleries more than video reviews. good luck anyhow :D
