Headmasters: Much point to buying headless?

[1AZRAEL1]

I've noticed a few sellers on ebay are a bit sneaky as in they offer a body fairly cheap and then sell the headmaster partner for $40+ . These days I wont even buy a targetmaster robot without their TM partners. When I first started collecting again about 13 years ago I made the mistake of buying Triggerhappy and Slugslinger without their TM partners and now would have to pay $35+ each if I wanted their partners last I checked.

So in short, these days unless part of a big junker lot never buy a G1 toy without their partners, you will either never find the partners or pay through the nose for them.

See even at that price, I'd still have a complete figure for cheaper than a complete straight up. Need their partners, but didn't pay much for the bodies.

But that takes a loooooong time, right unless you're really lucky?

I'll admit, I've been pretty lucky on some piecemeal figures, but it's all about patience. IE: I had actionmaster Sideswipe's gun and partner guns for ages, then ended up getting a figure for cheap, and partner for not so cheap, but Sideswipe is highly sought after.
