I dont care either way: movie or non-movie, as long as my reaction is "hot damn" when I see it on the rack, I buy.

1st priority = On-screen movie TFs.

 

Clearance buys = All the other crap.

 

:pfx If I don't see the other figures on clearance, I don't intend to get them.

Sam old story: I caved in & bought the lot. :redface

Why is it all or nothing? Where's the "buy the ones that interest me, skip the others" option?

 

Agrees.

 

Movie bots were a definite must.

 

Most of the non characters (real Gear) were a big meh/pass for me.

 

I've only bothered thus far with Arcee, Longarm, and Dropkick.

 

All of which are really good, and well designed.

 

I'm still on the fence with Wreckage and I really have no desire to buy any of the one eyed drone.

 

I are no longer be completest

 

Whoa! damn lolcats.

 

I'm definitely in for next years Landmine, Incinerator and perhaps Stockade.

I'd get a couple of them, but that's just it.

I think some of the non-movie robots are as cool if not cooler than the ones in the movie. I'll take Dropkick over Barricade any day of the week.

When first started collecting these figures in early January I started off with Prime and Megatron and said that these were the only two that was going to buy. Then I saw some of the other figures, after a couple weeks I decided to collect all the ones from the movie, and so I did. But along the way I ended up getting Arcee and Thundercracker. I got them because Arcee was suppose to be in the movie and both she and Thundercracker are G1 characters.

 

Since I was a child I’ve always been a Transformers fan but by no means I don’t plan on collecting all of these figures. For one this kind of thing does damage to the pockets and two some of these molds are crappy looking and in my mind are not worth getting. For the most part I’m sticking to the ones that were in the movie. I may go get some of the other ones that were G1 characters like Cliffjumper and Landmine but the Allspark blue is somewhat of a turnoff. Some of the other ones are tempting to get like Longarm, Dropkick, and Wreckage.

If Arcee was (maybe) in the movie then Longarm definitely was! (Plus, it's the BEST Movie figure for its price IMO. :yay )

Well, if you look at it that way then so was Arcee as well as Landmine. :07dance

And Stockade...

it depends on the toy I've skipped all the repaints but the new deluxe toys are very nice
