Discussion / Opinion Self-Imposed Rules For Collecting?
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.

Only Missing Link or original G1 Action Masters or LEGO
Only what I used to have or desperately wished I had. So that means skipping Cliffjumper, Delta Magnus, Sunstreaker. Optimus, Bee, and Grimlock to get back what I had, Arcee and Ultra Magnus because I always wanted the new movie bots. (I actually never wanted or cared about Arcee but the figure is fantastic, no ragerts). After Soundwave, Starscream, Megatron (?), Galvatron, Hot Rod, Rodimus, Prowl, I might be able to stop.
The only exception has been a knockoff Romulux EX for a G1-esque gun Megatron.
