Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I just buy what I like but must admit I have been tempted by MP Grimlock.

I'd say the OP is talking about 'hype'

Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I rarely succumb to hype, but it has happened.
- Alternators Camshaft - I got him because he was rare everywhere but Canada
- ROTF Ransack - lots of hype around a TF bi-plane
- Universe Swerve - another hyped figure with above-average availability in Canada
- Animated Rodimus - probably would have skipped him, but he suddenly became abundant locally
Additionally, I'm still considering getting ROTF Breakaway due to all the high praise he's received.

Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I don't follow others or hype like a sheep, I blaze my own path, right through the toy aisle!
So in answering, No I dont buy for hype, I buy because I want and no other reason.

Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I will admit I have fallen for the hype of a given product from time to time. However, as I get older and wiser, I do tend to purchase only what I really want now. This could change at any moment though.

Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I usually only buy what I like.
However with TRU's sale today I purchased BBBB simply because of all the great reviews I've heard about him. Didnt really need another deluxe BB since I already had TFTM CC BB and I dont tend to buy multiples of the same characters in a given line, as a general rule.
But the reviews made me grab him while he's abundant instead of waiting and maybe wanting him later. I think I may just leave him sealed for now... well we'll see how long that lasts.

no. i'm super picky with what i buy.
ex: fansproject bruticus add-ons. it doesn't really do much for me. no matter what they do to the original toys its supposed to enhance, they are still butt-ugly.

Re: Do you ever buy a figure only because everyone wants it?
I think without hype, I may have never payed attention to and ordered anything from Fansproject.
