    My collecting goals for next year are to cut back on collecting.

    I will be focusing on MPs and hopefully nothing else...

    More FoC Dinobots from Planet X, MP Bumblebee and Legends Windblade are the only things I want in the foreseeable future.

    Probably the Maketoys Defensor (I think it's named Guardian) if it comes out in '15, I think it will get pushed back.

    Maybe a Generations toy or two. RID and Combiner Wars aren't exactly wowing me with their reveals. I might start hunting down FoC toys, who knows.

    If I finds it, I gets to keep it.

    Also quite looking forward to MP Exhaust, many more TT Legends (especially Brainstorm), completing my own Feral Rex, hopefully a G2 MicroBlaze Military Titans set, and MP Star Saber. Not necessarily in that order.

    I want to get my first real 3rd party figures, the Dinobots from giga power or whatever they are called

    Biggest want is to get power to my big shed, plaster it all and then start setting up my big man cave so I can finally display ALL my figures!

    Well I got my Bumblebee at more than I was comfortable with but I got him all the same.

    Anyone setting themselves a budget ceiling this year? I dont normally keep track or budget purchases (not just toys, games too) but was thinking i probably spend more than i should, just cause i can afford to. Half my purchases last year fell around christmas and looking back i didnt expect most of them so i ended up spending more than i'd have liked. So i thought a limit of $100 or something a month, $1200 a year... Is it something i could stick to?

    Maybe we could make it a challenge on here to see who can do it! I think if i end up under budget around December, then a "treat" purchase might have more meaning if i was selective enough to leave some in reserve for a pricier, special or unexpected item! It's less fun knowing i can get anything with only the wife having a problem with it to worry about!

    Sticking to legion class figs. I'll track down Arcee, Chromia and Windblade. Foregoing combiner wars, I just don't trust Australian retail to get them in. Focus on customising and making my own stuff.

    I've been thinking about this over the last couple of days because I too probably spend more than I should. I'm definitely cutting back on what I spend, and the buy now decide later approach hasn't worked. I had a thought of buying nothing but that's not likely. Maybe a budget is the way to go. I think my ultimate goal for the year is that the total number of TFs I sell from my collection is greater than the total number of new TFs I buy.

    I generally find that trying to stick to my rule of 'RRP or less' tends to keep collecting more affordable. Pre-ordering MPs really helps to make them a lot cheaper.
