My primary focus is to claim figures that are fun; hence why I bailed out on Alternators after Side Swipe and only got Grimlock when he was on sale because I wanted a G1-ish Grimlock.

If I find a figure to be no fun you can bet I won't get it; I'm also doing my darndest to avoid getting every single repaint of a figure or completing entire lines.

At the moment I'm working on Cybertron/Classics, but once I finish school and get that well paying job I can finish off the G1 Re-issues, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, Energon, Universe and Robots in Disguise/Car Robots.
I may also get into the Movie stuff I suppose it depends on what happens; Revenge of the Sith inspired me to collect more Star Wars action figures Transformers the Movie might inspire me to collect their product line to a larger degree then the few I planned on claiming irregardless of my feelings.

I used to think of myself as full-bore completist, but then as time went on I did my darndest to escape that habit; some of the figures I was saying I wanted were really only being wanted because I needed to buy something Transformers related, which is not collecting for fun, but collecting for the sake of collecting.
I sold off most of my G2 stuff and a few Beast Wars duplication repaints, but I can't seem to part with anything else because quite frankly I never had that many repaints to begin with and certain figures are just too good to pass up. I really dig the Armada Demolishor and Cyclonus molds which is why I'm trying to get the Energon/Super Link versions and have amended my Cybertron collection to include Demolishor.

A complete list of the figures I need before I consider each series starting with Beast Wars complete is as follows...


Beast Wars:
Rattrap
Nightglider
Wolfang
Buzzsaw
Black Arachnia

Tripredacus Agent
Polar Claw

Armada:
Powerlinx Hot Shot/Jolt
Powerlinx Thrust/Inferno

Alpha Quintesson
Possibly Beachcomber
Optimus Prime
Black Unicron/Dead End
Sandstorm/Cannon Or Cyclonus/Crumplezone

And that's it; Universe I'm not sure what I want anymore, but when I get back into it I'm sure I'll have it figured out... If you ask me why I listed all that I'll simply reply thusly; I'm an organization freak who keeps track of everything and enjoys making list after list of the same thing over and over again, so there you have it. Thanks to a little hunting a few weeks back I finally snagged BW Scorponok so kudos for me. I'd list all the Jap Beast Wars stuff too, but... Meh; can't be bothered.
