Re: If you could turn back the clock and start your collection over
Definitely. If I knew 5 years ago about what was going to get produced down the road up until today, I would have definitely just stuck with MP-10, MP-13 as there is a special place in my heart for Soundwave, and the FT dinobots and I would've stopped there with MP scale figures.
I did not expect MP scale to become the fad that it is today, and once I got FT Quakewave and MP-17, it started this trap of filling out the ranks for both factions and I regret them all. As nice as they are, they take up way too much space and has grown much too costly. For the same amount of money, I could have had a much more diversified and fuller cast of characters in CHUG scale to display. Especially now with how much more well-developed the legends scale has become with the rise of Iron Factory, DX9, etc., this is a FUN and financially viable scale to get into which amplifies my regret about all the space my MP figures are taking up (and in hindsight, all the money I spent there when I could've had many more CHUG or legends figures) but can't bring myself to let them go. #FirstWorldProblems
As more new stuff gets announced for production, I constantly hear myself saying "that's cool, but pity it's not a voyager or deluxe. I hope someone resizes that". KBB MP-10V and the WeiJiang oversized headmasters are an amazing answer to my prayers in that regard, for example.
