What will you do?

Let just say you only have/want to spend ~$300. You are presented two deals but with your budget you can only choose one. The deals are:

(1) One MIB vintage Japanese G1 item (ok, it is NOT Galaxy Shuttle that I'm looking for )

(2) Six MIB (not MISB) Binaltechs, and for argument sake the lot includes 2x BT-07's, a Dead End, a Yellow Track, a Bluestreak and a Silverstreak.

Which one will you get and why?

Re: What will you do?

If my budget only permits one of these, I will go for the 6 bots. I tend to look at bang for your buck when I am shopping, and to me 6 bots for $300 is better than 1.

Re: What will you do?

i'd go for the g1 japanese mib bot.
reason being is a few years down the road,i'll be able to find the binaltechs at still a decent fair price,but lo and behold,that g1 jap bot you were previously looking at now costs a few hundred more,and that's if there's even another one out there for sale.

japanese g1, they are great figures, and binaltechs aren't as stable as the alts, which are cheaper most of the time anyways

Re: What will you do?

I have no interest in G1 figures, but Binaltechs are shiny. That being said, I would personally pass on both since I already have some of the characters in the BT lot and I strongly prefer buying MISB figures, not MIBs.

Re: What will you do?

I opted neither. I like Binaltech / Altenators, but that lot has four figures in it that are essentially the same mould. 2X Smokescreen, Bluestreak and Silverstreak; one of the best moulds of the series no doubt, but I'm a believer in variety as the spice of life, and that's more than half of your lot lost to the same transformation.
