Well, I have been mulling over how much I spend on my collection as a whole. Frankly, I am tired of Hasbro just chucking out repaints and calling them a new figure, so I have decided to drop all Transformer lines except TFA and EnCore. I really like them. At some point I am going to probably get rid of all of it.

Whynot just drop repaints I have done that with exception of the G1 classics
Plus encore is expensive and you have S&H to deal with

I just dropped repaints and figures I actualy want. I gave up on the completist concept back in the Cybertron days. I am so glad I did as well. Saves a ton of money.

Tis a good decision indeed. Now take the money you would have spent on repaints and put it in a roth IRA. Just so you know if you put $100.00 a month in a Roth for 30 years at the dow average of 12% a year you will have over $370,000.00 on a $36,000.00 investment.

Dude....you weren't supposed to tell... Yes I invested in the new Wonder Woman Statue...it was $240.00...I didn't feel a bit guilty. So what I have decided, is that I can't quit TF's cold turkey, but I don't like a lot of the Universe molds, so I am going to go ahead and pick up molds like Cyclonus and such...things that really hit me as cool only. As far as Encore goes, you have seen how much I buy from BBTS, so shipping isn't a factor since I do the Ship My Loot and the increase on shipping is nominal since I don't pay tax on anything. I like getting the Encore molds, so I do want to keep up with those, but now I can focus on just getting the DC stuff I really want and stop buying things because I think I have to be a completist...this is almost a lifestyle shift at this point...I have been completist for so long......
I do like the animated items, That will be the last line I go completist on and I am not getting rid of my Alternators, because that took too much work to have a complete set.

Dibs if you ever do decide to get rid of the Alts. I am still short Camshaft... I just hope whatever is after TFA won't pull you back full swing for your sake.

Yeah, I think TFA is the only one I will do completist on from now on. The only other line that might would be the return of the Alternators.....
