1. Ebay. 2. Clearance 3 specials like buy 2 get 1 free.

1. Buy everything

2. Open everything

3. Display as much as possible

1. Buy what I like.

2. Display as much as I possibly can - space issues.

3. Buy whichever version I think is better.

 

Occasionally I break some of these rules. Like when I bought E-Ironhide and E-Jetfire. I just wanted to see if there were more to these guys.

 

Also, I would love to display every single TF that I own. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that someday but right now I have limited space in my apartment so that will have to wait until I buy a house.

 

So I guess rule #4 is:

 

4. Display them all when I have the space!

1: Buy only the stuff you like.

2: Buy only recolors if you don't have the original mold, OR if the color REALLY MAKES THE TOY LOOK BETTER.

3: BUY EVERY ALTERNATOR EVER MADE. :tflaugh

Just buy, buy, buy and display out of the box.

for me:

all dino, dragon and scorpion molds (and their respective recolors)

all leaders (cartoon, comic and toy) but not each and evry variant

all insect molds and their recolors

all BW and BM showcharacters

all BT (1 of each number)

 

and then fill the rest with figures that look/are cool

As I am current short on expendable funds my rule is only Alternators(if possible BT) and Optimus and Megatron from every series(which I am failing on so far with Energon). If possible I plan on getting the figures I deem essential like Rodimus, Shockblast, Ironhide, Kicker and Mirage/Dreadwing. Maybe Hotshot and Downshift. I have Tidalwave Starscream, Arcee, Energon saber and Perseptor.

My only rule (aside from making sure the money is available) is to only buy the ones that I actually like. I never saw the point of buying a TF JUST because it's a TF. Why buy something that I'm just going to put on a shelf and whine about?

Rule 1: Buy Transformers

 

Rule 2: No Animals (exception Terrorcons, cause they are not pretending to be animals, they are just robots kinda shaped like animals)

 

Rule 3: Buy more to kitash!

No KO's or Reissues.
