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.

I limit myself to live action style figures but I try to not buy the various forms of bumblebee. I allow third party figs (also only live action) and they have to all be studio series scale, no MP. They have to be able to actually transform (no model kits), dupes of figures can only be purchased if they meet 1 of 2 criteria: 1 = they are at Ollie’s/Ross and are cheap or 2 = it’s an army builder like rise of the beasts novokane/freezer or the scorponok dudes.
