Inspired by kurdt_the_goat's Budget Challenge thread (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=20064), the purpose of this thread is far simpler: simply calculate the average amount of money you spent on a Transformer toy in 2014.

It's easy enough. Count the number of toys you purchased (T). Add up the total amount of you money you spent (S). Calculate the average (A).
Thus...

A = S / T

Simple example: In 2014, Billy purchased 50 Transformers toys which cost him a total of $1000.
S = 1000
T = 50
∴ A = 1000 / 50 = 20
Conclusion: Billy spent an average of $20 per Transformer toy in that year.

There are 15 poll options (max), so you may need to round your answer off and vote accordingly. The poll is also completely anonymous, so nobody's gonna know which answer is yours unless you voluntarily post it. Having said that, as w/ the Budget thread, let's be mindful not to judge anyone for how much they're spending. :)

This is an exercise I do not care to partake in purely because I don't want to find out how much I spent on Transformers last year... :p

Yeah, all of this budgetting and working out how much I spent on each toy is a bit like looking at the nutrition information on the back of the sweet package.

I voted $350+ BECAUSE OF THE EMOTIONAL COST.

I probably over estimated as some of mine were really cheap.

Too much!

Given today I spent AU$167.50 on DMK03 and EX-TF03 in the store down the road...

While I spend less on the Hasbro figures I probably spend around AU$40 or $50 per piece when you average out all my 3rd Party stuff...
