MP Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee. A guess for 2015 would be MP Motormaster.

3. What would you like to see in the Thrilling 30 line.
A Generations Misfire or similar.

1. What are your goals for 2014

-Spend as little money on Transformers as possible. Masterpiece line and the odd Generations figure only. I have a baby girl on the way so I need to balance my hobbies better.
-Ignore movie figures. From what we've seen and read so far this shouldn't be hard.
-Don't buy anything from Australian retail. This prevents spontaneous purchases, forces me to budget ahead with on-line pre-ordering and will generally come with the added bonus of paying less.


2. What is your most anticipated figure of 2014

I suppose MP Ultra Magnus like most of you. I'm also super hyped for TT Rhinox and Rattrap.

3. What would you like to see in the Thrilling 30 line

YES YES YES Hursti. And G1 Trypticon Reissue. What a line up that would make.

Hell yeah it would!

IMHO the best way to convince HasTak to reissue more big reissues like Trypticon is for more people to have purchased previous big reissues (e.g. Sky Lynx, Metroplex, Omega Supreme, gestalt sets, Fortress Maximus etc.). It's how we "vote with our wallets."

I personally have purchased:
+ All of TakTOM's gestalt reissues except 2010 Predaking (but I did get 2004/5 Predaking)
+ All the base/cityformers except Omega Supreme (but I did buy the GADEP repaint)
...so they have my "vote." Some of the earlier big reissues did shelfwarm though (e.g. Sky Lynx, Metroplex, Omega Supreme), but reportedly Fortress Maximus was a good seller. I hope this is true and that it would encourage TakaraTOMY to consider reissuing more biggies in future, such as Trypticon and Scorponok (for which a limited exclusive Black Zarak reissue (with better plastic!) would be great... but I don't know if TakTOM would do it considering they passed on reissuing Metrotitan and Grand Maximus -- maybe GADEP was a shelfwarmer? <shrugs>). It didn't help that the early big reissues came out about the same time as the GFC either.

Goals for 2014 - Transformers will take a back seat for quite a while I sort out more important things in my life at the moment. Will keep up with the MP line though

What is your most anticipated figure of 2014 - None really, Just going to enjoy the MP line as stated above

What would you like to see in the Thrilling 30 line - I've pretty much lost interest in this thrilling thirty as Hasbro Australia has dropped the ball concerning this for Australia in general.

That's not asking for the laws of physics to be broken at all

After seeing what's achievable with 3rd party headmaster figures, I'm open to the possibility.

Okay, I've decided that this year I'm gonna try and complete my "personal G1" collection, i.e. complete it to a point where, as far as I'm concerned, it's effectively complete. A complete Hasbro collection comprises of 450 figures, of which I have 406, so my Hasbro G1 collection is 90% complete (which is not bad considering my personal collecting method ). Of the 10% that I'm missing, a lot of it is stuff I really don't care enough about to want to hunt down, let alone pay a premium price for (e.g. Action Masters, Action Master Elites, Hasbro Overlord etc.).
