But what about new figures from the latest movies? I don't think that there is a nostalgic point to it, especially when those movies show some completely new characters.

For me it started off with nostalgia - specifically g1 reissues, whilst ignoring Transformers Armada and Energon. Then during Cybertron I realised how cool Scourge was. Bright colours, fearsome looking robot mode, even more fearsome looking dragon alt-mode, axe weapon, that started me off on buying anything I fancied.

Nostalgia still fuels most of my buying but I'm open to new things, particularly if they involve characters with swords! (RID Scourge, Dinobot, Drift, Deadpool, etc.)
