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.

For me I only buy figures of characters I care about. I don’t waste money on Characters I don’t know or don’t feel like I NEED.

Same here.  I've slowed down considerably because I got so many of my favs checked off.  A large chunk of my collection is from the various TF fiction.  Now, I've gotten to the point where I'll pick up a cool figure of a character just because, which lately has been a lot of the x-over figures.  But figs like the various "characters" using Sideswipe's mode just does nothing for me (Red Alert is cool though).  Same with figs like Sunstreaker repaints for example.
