33% of respondents have 100 Transformers or less. (+)
31% of respondents have about 200 Transformers. (+)
4% of respondents have about 300 Transformers. (=)
5% of respondents have about 400 Transformers. (-)
4% of respondents have about 500 Transformers. (+)
0.5% of respondents have about 600 Transformers. (-)
0% of respondents have about 700 Transformers. (-)
2% of respondents have about 800 Transformers. (-)
0.5% of respondents have about 900 Transformers. (-)
20% of respondents have 1000 Transformers or more. (-)

Comparison with 2008
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/Collection%20Poll/collectionpollgraph2008.jpg
100 or less --> Up by 1%
200 --> Up by 11%
300 --> unchanged
400 --> Down by 5%
500 --> Up by 1%
600 --> Down by 1.5%
700 --> Down by 1%
800 --> Down by 1%
900 --> Down by 0.5%
1000 or more --> Down by 6%

As we can see the category with the greatest change is the "200" category which saw the biggest increase between 2008 to 2009 with a 11% hike. However the majority of respondents still fall into the "100 or less" category for the third year in a row. Thus we can see that the average Transformers collection size is actually 100 or less.

As you all know, for the first time this year we've also looked specifically at more precise data for people with collections numbering 100 or less and 1000 or more. Here are the results:

Results for collections numbering 100 or less Transformers

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/Collection%20Poll/collectionpollgraph2009_100.jpg

0% respondents have about 10 Transformers.
2% of respondents have about 20 Transformers.

Results for collections numbering 1000 or more Transformers

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/Collection%20Poll/collectionpollgraph2009_1000.jpg
Among those who answered "1000 or more" in the main poll:
36% of respondents have about 1000 Transformers.

Minors. :p You'll notice that the pie-chart program has rounded the 0.5s down to 0! (I guess it only accepts whole numbers)

I intend on running the next poll in July 2010 so you got 11 months to prepare for then if you want to participate next year. :)

About a hundred.

So three or four people who voted in this poll have between zero and four Transformers. Intriguing.
