$885.75
No idea for the whole year, but on my shott trip to Melb this week I spent about $300 on TFs which I think came to more than food, booze, hotels and shows combined :o:p
Haha, I used to have a problem years ago, when I bought for the sake of buying, for the thrill of the hunt - I now sold much of what I bought back then.Quote:

Around 2k for me if I include the preorders I've paid for until the end of the year. Way too much, I was supposed to be cutting back....:(
If I actually took the time to calculate it I would be disgusted at myself I am sure...
Philosophical / hypothetical / non-judgmental question but if anyone is getting negative feelings about the money spent, would it be a catalyst for change?
I know I've got figures (perhaps 10%) in this category, and need to get rid of them. I find that I am enjoying my collection less when I see this category of figures among ones that I really favour.Quote:

354AUD. Not bad.
I haven't bothered to calculate but my guesstimate would be around $2000 minimum. A few pre orders from PC, started collected MP's, some hard to find TakTom exclusives and finishing off my G1's.
true, but I have spending money that I have to spend or save and apart from not having the space to display them all, I rarely buy a transformer for the sake of it. I often have to stop myself from doing so.Quote:
