depends on how my profits are from ebay and other local sales. so anywhere from $25-$200 a month

unless tfs are released on a weekly basis and you have made some kinda pact with some devil to spend some sort of money on buying tfs whether you like the toy or not, this is a rather weird question to ask

 

for me, i only buy stuff i really like and of good quality (mainly the japan stuff) and price at that point would not matter to me since i do not blow that much money (or rather, not buy anything) that often

 

it really depends if you are a completist and want to hoard everything you see in the store on a regular basis or not...

the skys the limit on me

Almost nothing. I have to really pick and choose what I want to buy.

Same. I buy maybe 7 TFs a year at most, but I almost never buy basic or deluxe. Last year's spending was about $900 for me (mostly imports).

it varies.  i haven't bought a tf since march when i bought ths 02.  i dropped $77 to have it shipped express ems.  and i just recently dropped $107 for a reissue soundblaster.  two months in between two hefty purchases i can justify.  though with new alts, mp prime re-release, mp starscream, and primus coming up i'm gonna be one broke mofo.  already have 20th op, but i feel i can't pass on the tfsource offer of mp prime and starscream.  me= :clap  wallet= :redface

Ever since moving into a bigger house and finding out I've got another kid on the way, I've had to be a little choosier.  Of course, the timing sucks...a year and a half of digBlot Armada and a no limit budget, another year and a half of good Decepticons-Blot Autobots Energon with a no limit budget, and the last year and a half of many hits and several misses Cybertron with budget constraints arriving half way through.  And now that these constraints are fully in place, we've got Classic (which I've been waiting for since 1998) on the horizon with movie toys following closely behind.  I'll be getting all of Classic and figure out how to make ends meet somehow, and likely nearly all of the movie toys.

 

Looks like it's PB&J for lunch for the next few years.

I get paid every 2 weeks, so I usually budget about $100 for TFs, hockey cards and CDs. It usually goes over that but I haven't had money problems. Now that I will be moving that number will shrink dramatically. I probably won't be buying any TFs for a couple months, unless I get a paypal balance somehow.

I don't have any specific budget. I don't have the luxury to buy Tfs weekly or be-weekly as I would like. I buy whatever I can whenever I can.  I am planning to buy Soundwave for my b-day next month IF he shows up here in Puerto Rico. Otherwise, rebay would have to be!  :tfsad

 

Yeah, I know. My life sux!  :tfmad

I tend to get anything as I see it for new stuff. I am a little more cautious with my vintage purchases, though. I have a great job with a lot of cash and its easy to get carried away. Anytime I think about buying something expensive, I mull it over for about three days to see if the desire goes away and it does about 60% of the time.

i earn €100 a month, and that is roughly what i spend on TF's.
