Two years ago I sold off all of my figs and figured I was done collecting.

Then last summer I saw a MP Grimlock at TRU and thought since I'd been so good at not buying anything, that one figure of my favorite Transformer would be a nice treat to myself.

A year later I have totes full of Transformers and MU again, and just realized last night that in the next 3 months I'll be spending $1000 on 3rd party Transformers alone. That's not even counting the two Masterpieces I'm planning on getting as well as more MU figures and Transformers Prime figures. Hell, after seeing the pics for the first couple of waves of the new ML figs I planned on getting those as well.

I've gotta stop, I really do. But coming on these boards and seeing all the pretty pictures really breaks me down,lol.

Yeh I've been there,.. not to the severity but I've sold g1 transformers for cheap and regret it along with my TMNT sewer and ghostbuster firehouse, especially after looking at the dio's on here. I try to make sure I always have my priorities in order. Make sure rent,cable,phone,internet ,renter's insurance and electricity and what I got left is my variable. The money I can either pocket and save for a rainy day, groceries, luxuries like smokes,drinks,takeout, etc then toys. some paychecks it's $0, some it's $200, as long as you have a roof over your head, food in your belly, gf/partner is kept happy and your not a hobbit and stay home all the time go for buying toys!
