Masterpiece Masterpiece Masterpiece.
Although I'm limiting myself to 1x each release unless it's a key figure (Magnus, Bee, etc). I have no connection to Exhaust or Starsabre, so much as I'd like to, it's 1x for those.
Beyond the spacebridge, as it were, the DC Collectables Batman The Animated Series/The New Batman Adventures figures, and the Hot Toys Back to the Future Marty McFly. The 1:12 Mezco Dark Knight Returns figures also get a guernsey.
Back to TF (outside of MP that is), Arcee (Hasbro - on its way and Takara), as well as the CW Powerglide and Bombshell. If there's Constructicons, then maybe those but that's about it.
As for 3P: Apollyon, the Fans Toys Dinobots (possibly excluding Grimlock) and maybe, just maybe a KFC Transistor.
I'm trying to cut things down, but unfortunately I've ended up with a love of pricey items!
I'm currently waiting on an MP Ultra Magnus. In terms of other new figures I'd like to get, I'll just wait and see what MPs are announced.

The wife really loves me right now so does my bank account lol
Theres very little in the way of old toys I'm after, maybe a G2 Optimus and a couple of unbought CHUG figures. A complete set of Headmasters and Headmaster Jrs if I win the lotto.
Otherwise I'll just be getting collector oriented figures from this years releases. I wish we knew what Takara was making as far as Generations so I could sort out my US vs JP orders.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
Mine are pretty simple, in no particular order:
a) 2015 Generations/Combiner Wars
b) Takara TFPrime (Swerve, Breakdown, Silas Breakdown, Nemesis Prime, Arms Microns)
c) Hasbro TFPrime Dreadwing
d)BotCon exclusives (CHUG or Prime Variants) & SG Variants (Retooled, Repurposed or otherwise)
e)remaining G1's on my list, though Pretenders are now peaking my interest
To be honest I have not checked out RID as yet, if I likes, I wills get![]()
WANTED BOTS: G1: Horri-bull, Snarler, Mainframe, Chop Shop, Ransack CHUG: Spin Out, Cordon, Brotropolis Rescue MASTERPIECE: Acid Storm
ENERGON: Six Shot
I'm taking the Masterpiece Purity Pledge and staying true for my sweetheart, TakaraTomy.
Anticipating the following
2 x larger TT MPs @ ~$200 AUD each
4 x smaller TT MPs @ ~$75 AUD each
Star Saber is already on pre-order, not bothering with Exhaust, but who knows what else will be announced for 2015.
Might get one or two Generations releases if there are any surprises that blow me away (ala Voyager Rhinox, Brainstorm, etc).
There's a chance I'll go for Fansproject Quickswitch and MMC's Impactor if they are ever released.
Other than main car characters for mp like
Jazz
Ironhide
Hound
Mirage
Tracks
Ratchet
Or some new decepticon mp
I am quite done.
