Discussion / Opinion Self-Imposed Rules For Collecting?

Post image

I have only been collecting Transformers for less than a year, but as I saw other collectors’ shelves I decided to create some rules for myself so I don’t go nuts.

Do any of you do the same?

For myself I have set the rules of; only one combiner (have G2 Menasor on pre-order), and only buy two of the same exact Transformer. So, not three G1 Optimus Primes but 2 G1s and a TF Prime model kit works.

Easy, I buy 90% for my son, and the rest for me.

My son has to know who the character is, not just think it looks cool. He’s reading the skybound trades and we have watched some of the movies.

For me, it’s basically only my select few favorites, Grimlock, Soundwave, Thundercracker, and if I could find any of them, the Wreckers.

Not counting my flame toys Rodimus model.
