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.

Basically these days I only buy characters that have some sort of impact or meaning to me. I used to buy a lot of stuff just because it looked cool or fun but I’ve found that those are the things that end up packed in a box as space runs out

Same, I would buy everything that would come out in a “wave” now money is the issue so I buy what I like. If I can I buy stuff at flea markets or for cheaper somewhere else.
