Does anyone else just not care anymore?

[The Scream Man]

Im into Transformers properly for the first time in years. In fact I just caved and bought the first Decepticons I have owned since I was a kid, so Im clearly falling deeper.

[Bidoofdude]

I've definetely falling into a void that I want to stay in.

It's not that I don't care anymore, it's just that I'm pretty much content with what I've got. I only collect G1, Classics, Prime (show cast only) and Animated so whenever something from those lines come out, or if I've got a bit more dosh for a G1, I'll slap the cash down. Admittedly that doesn't happen too often but I'm cool with that, gives me a chance to save for other things while still enjoying the odd toy here and there (only ones I've purchased recently are Prime Voyager Dreadwing, Prime Unicron and United Ultra Magnus). When I have some spare cash I'd love to snag a nice G1 Broadside but there's no rush. Transformers forever!

Being content with your collection is a great feeling, there isn't a ravenous urge to buy everything you see. When you can be at a stage where the odd thing to buy pops up every now and then and you can look at your collection many times a day and just smile then that is a great place to be

That's how I felt during 1993-95/96... G2 didn't interest me all that much, but I still remained massively devoted/obsessed with Transformers and still actively played with my G1 toys, watched my eps on VHS, kept re-reading the comics etc. I did buy some G2 stuff -- I have a rather modest G2 collection... but on the whole it didn't engage me like G1 did. But yes, Transformers forever indeed!

I find myself in an amusing position. Having almost finished watching Beast Wars through for the first time, I find myself really getting into it. Thus I find myself starting to look at a few figures on ebay. Being the collector I am, 2 or 3 figures will suit me fine, but it's cool because it's like a new line for me as I previously had no interest in it, thus tended to pay it very little attention.

That is seemingly going to change.


I can see why Verno's so into it and uses it as inspiration.

So true. I find I spend a lot more time these days playing around with/admiring what I've got, and far less time on eBay, RK etc. looking for the next purchase. My wallet is ever so grateful.

Thats exactly how I am. I realised a long time ago that I'll never be a completist and as soon as I realised that I found I was able to enjoy my collecting alot more. Instead of hunting down figures like a mad man on ebay etc all night everytime a figure comes out I ask "Does it fit into my G1esque classicsverse or is it a new character I can retcon into it?(Eg: Lockdown from Animated)" or "Do I want it for my misc TF shelf?" If the answer to both these is no then I will give the figure a miss. This style of collecting allows me to save for G1 gestalts, encores and expensive botcon toys that suit my collection.
