Important! Please read the rules carefully before voting!

Rules

1. All participants must count their Transformers toys according to the Universal Counting Method (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=217). Round your collection count and vote according to the poll options.
Online number rounder (http://www.webmath.com/k8round.html) <---set to place value to "hundreds."

2. You must also vote on the Primary Poll (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=19435).

3. Do not post any negative criticisms or complaints about this survey project or the counting methodology. The purpose of this thread is for people to count their TF collections according to the UCM, and not to debate/discuss the merits of the UCM unless you are seeking clarification on how to correctly count your toys according to the UCM.
If you do not wish to participate in this project, then hit the Back button of your web browser now.

The Polls
There are three polls. These are:
+ The Primary Poll looking at collections from 100 or less to 1000 or more.
+ The "100 or Less" Secondary Poll (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=436355). Only participants with 100 or less (UCM) Transformers in their collection are eligible to participate in this poll.
+ The "1000 or More" Secondary Poll (that's this one here). Only participants with 1000 or more (UCM) Transformers in their collection are eligible to participate in this poll.

Note: This poll will "close" on 23/09/2014 11:00 EST. Although people will still be able to vote after that time, no further data will be collected.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and support!

Maybe you should call it GCM - the Gok Counting Method since the UCM cops so much flak and isn't really universal. Not ragging on it - just saying since you seem to be worried about it being criticised.

Regardless, I have over 1500 so ill round it down to that.

Na man, according to the UCM I am only very just over 1500 - to round up would be to misrepresent my collection size :)

Oh right, yes, of course. I forgotten for a moment that this poll rounds off to the nearest 500 and not to the nearest thousand. :rolleyes:

That's great, but if you wish to participate in this poll, you will need to count your toys according to the UCM. How people want to count their toys outside of this survey is entirely up to them. :)

I apply the same method as eating a packet of chips i.e. crush the packet and it will appear as though you have more. I currently have 12,752 Transformers :p

I have multiple scourges with different manufacturer stamps. These count as variants right?

Yes. Identical multiples still count under the UCM anyway - so even if you have multiple Scourges with the exact same manufacturing stamp, they still count.
