Honestly I'd be happy if the AUD stays at 80 US cents or above (because realistically that's about how much the AUD is really worth - it's been overvalued for the last few years; not that I mind one bit ).
Odin's ugly eye patch, but I remember that time around 2000. It was around that time I was just starting to pick up G1 TFs as a "collector". $50AUD for a figure-only G1 Hound. $60 for a figure-only G1 Snarl. $200 for a Superion with a junky Skydive, random Bruticus left fist and no small Aerialbot weapons.

*shudder*

Really makes me appreciate being able to get a lovely condition, 100% complete Abominus for ~$150.

On topic - My biggest dread for my own toys I guess is fire/theft like many others.

Aside from that... Egh, probably a return to the Armadaverse. Armada damn near put me off Transformers entirely for a few years. Certainly put me off buying new toys at retail.
