Discussion of Collection counting methods

such as G1 Blurr's shield or Octane's tanker

Goddamit Kup. Now that I've agreed with you my collection has dropped by two.



Uhhhh anybody out there in Ozformerland got a spare Blurr's shield or Octane's tanker?

should someone with only 2000 Seaspray's have a bigger "collection"

HAHA....On my way....only 1995 to go! MUHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

[iceburn]

hahaha i've got 1999 seasprays to go!!

AM Rollout was in the comic as well. He and Krok were the only 2 AMs in the comic who weren't pre-existing characters, despite the AM toyline having more new characters than pre-existing ones.

However, should someone with only 2000 Seaspray's have a bigger "collection" than Griffin?

A rather unique collection, and rather boring, but I would say yes, the Admiral of the fleet of Seasprays has more toys.

I guess it comes down to "I have 2000 Transformers" vs "I have 2000 different Transformers".

I tend to count in the first way --although the only exact doubles I have is a second Chase, and a second Concept Camaro Bumblebee (and that third with "Battle damage"tm!)

[kup]

If I have say...1 normal Bumblebee 08, 1 Bumbleee 08 with battle damage and 1 Bumblebee 08 with a battlemask head, then I would count each of them as one since they are not doubles (or triples) but different versions of the same figure/character at different stages.

I have no interest in collecting all three but if I did, my personal counting method would treat them as three.

Or someone with 3000 Wheelies! OH NO!

Could you imagine meeting someone with 3000 Wheelies?

[jaydisc]

How would you count Tidal Wave... and why?

[Paulbot]

One Transformer that splits into three vehicles, just like Flywheels, Battletrap, and Overlord are each one Transformer that splits into two vehicles.

[iceburn]

Tidal Wave says it all. 1 Transformer but don't forget to count the minicon as another TF :P

[GoktimusPrime]

Yup, Paulbot and iceburn are correct.
