Will all these rollback and sales change your buying habit?

After seeing all these rollbacks and sale. I think I will change my tf shopping habit...Will you change yours? For me, no more Henkei classic or universe... with the triple, almost quadruple value for an item that is almost identical (Henkei can have bad paint job too from the recent release if you check carefully, which I don't care much about paint job anyways). I don't regret what I already got through, still happy with them. Maybe unless they are different like Megatron, Astrotrain, Powerglide or the upcoming Dinobot, then only I will consider buying.

Re: Will all these rollback and sales change your buying habit?

Hmmm. Well, I've been getting suckered into the Henkei trap as of late (thanks to deals/sales, actually - I got 20% off the store prices on Prime and Starscream just recently).

I wouldn't say it'll change much - there's sales all the time, and there's not much out now that I WANT that's on sale. If anything, sales make me tend to buy more.

And I'm finding myself more and more partial to Henkei as well. Starscream - well, I didn't think he'd be as good as he is in comparison to the original.

Yes, I'll be buying more on impulse.

Cost is no object. Pretty sure that rollback thing won't last too long.

I've been delaying my purchases of new waves, waiting for them to go on sale rather than scooping them up as soon as they're available.

Re: Will all these rollback and sales change your buying habit?

It's helping me get the toys I refused to pay $15 for. One example is Prowl, I guess he's okay for $7.50 although I didn't open mine yet.

The rollbacks are somewhat changing my buying habits specifically with the Animated line; it's making it easier to catch up on the line (and cheaper to boot).
