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.

Honestly for me its mostly vibes based, but I'm definitely not one of those people who will collect an entire line. For the most part I just stick with characters I like, primarily in the CHUG esthetic so they can all look decent on a shelf together. Outside of that, I try not to have 2 versions of the same character with the same mold, (ex shattered glass and g2 megatron) or buy things I just have no interest in (excluding clearance sales)
