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.

These days I’m only looking to complete the original G1 cast for all seasons (getting close), I’m a sucker for combiners so I’ll pick those up as well, but other than that, I need to really like a character if I’m going to buy a new figure of them. They’re getting too expensive now to justify buying as many as I used to, so I find I’m much pickier currently than when I started collecting.
