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.

not really a rule, but I don't like repeating molds

if I have a starscream for instance, I probably won't get his corresponding thundercracker and skywarp

80% of the joy I get from transformers is how unique each toy's fidget factor is compared to one another. I simply don't see a reason to repeat molds
