Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I think the only think I ever let myself buy due to hype was HA!BB, but, even then, I still didn't pick him up until he was on sale, and in hindsight, it wasn't so much hype as it was my reading/watching sterling reviews for him and deciding "Y'know, I should probably get him." Aside from that, I get what I want. Unfortunately, I'm obsessive and suffer from Completism, so as far as RotF went, I preeeetty much have every deluxe.
Except for Brawn and Lockdown, the ones I really bloody wanted. Figures, eh?
Animated was...kind of funny. That was my gateway into collecting. I only intended on buy Blackarachnia, but then I got Jazz and Soundwave, and then Grimlock was on sale...and then it was one thing after another after another until present day, where I'm maybe 3 figures from completing Animated. Mold-wise, anyway. 8B
I'm gonna try to be more choosy in the future, but what with the new stuff being pretty impressive, so far, I might just end up choosing...everything. Derp. 8B
Also, I blame Vangelus. >_>
