What kind of collector are you?

Here is a simple survey to get a sense of what kind of collectors we have amongst us. Check one of the following if it fits you. If you are a combination of these or one of a kind, feel free to describe and explain. (see Poll above... can select multiple items)
1) G1 Devotee - Predominantly G1 figures (CHUG too)
2) Japanese at Heart - Strong preference for or exclusively collecting Japanese imports
3) Expensive Taste - Loves Masterpieces, 3rd Party figures/add-ons, figures with diecast parts, and Leader and Surpreme size bots, all of which tend to be more expensive.
4) Exhaustive Collector - Owns or wants pretty well every mold of every character there is out there.
5) Character Crazy - Need to get every version, generation, and repaint of certain characters you love (i.e. Optimus, Rodimus)
6) Beasties Devotee - Love all/most figures from that era.
7) Mint or Else! - Hardly ever opens a box!
8) Bargain Hunter - What you collect depends on what deals you find. You get the best bang for your buck and avoids expensive items.
9) Completist - need to get all figures in certain lines
10) Newbie/Casual - haven't refined your taste or direction yet.

Re: What kind of collector are you?

i dont really fit into any of those per se...

i collect mostly things that resonate with what i remember watching as a child... which means predominantly g1/g1-esque stuff... so my collection is about 90% universe/classics/generations whatever with some g1 and masterpiece thrown in. oh, and i love animated! but thats pretty much re-imagined g1 to me, with some quirks.

although, i just finished watching headmasters and am moving on to masterforce, and so on and could really see myself liking these series' enough to start wanting to collect some of the characters i fall in love with.

Re: What kind of collector are you?

I consider myself more of a casual on looker. TFs aren't my top priority, and I won't buy anything and everything that has the TF name attached to it...has to catch my eye at least

Re: What kind of collector are you?

1: love G1 inspired figures
3: add-ons for G1 inspired figures and 3rd party G1
characters.
5: Hot Rod/rodimus Prime, Starscream and Prime
to a degree...price that is, my wife wont want me
go nuts on these things...must be within reason.
7: I always buy at least one to play with/display
and one MIB or MOC...maybe a few more for
displaying open like generation scourge/sweeps
or to have one in bot mode, altmode/ combined
mode or if I really love the figure ala Animated/
classics Rodimus or Generations Thunderwing.
8: love a great deal on a figure...VV and yard sales
are awesome.
10: All G1 related lines, Classics, Universe 2.0, RTS
maybe...well all the G1 figures, lol.

Re: What kind of collector are you?

Bargain hunter, but I do have a really soft spot for G1 homages and remakes.

If I had a bigger living space I'd probably be more willing to spend though - kinda out of room in here already, eek.
