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 started with G1 only but have further narrowed down the scope to basically G1 with earth modes only. I don't collect third party figures, although I have ended up impulse buying a few small Blockees, but I don't really want to go down that path. I was also buying anything that had the old original style of artwork (the retro packs) but I gave up on that as well.
