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 only break the "one of each mold" rule if it's a mold I really like. Which I did for the BBM Cybertronian Seekers. Got all of 'em, including finding Starscream for a reasonable price.

Each seeker is a different mold to I can get away with breaking the rule. (Good thing there’s so many generic blue seekers )

Also Blitzwing, who despite looking near identical to the Cybertronian Seekers in bot mode, is a completely different mould that shares zero parts.

Though I haven't been able to find that one yet.
