Will you still collect MP Transformers with the higher prices?

With the pricing of MP43 BW Megatron revealed at 35000 yen and the higher prices for Cordon and the G1 Megatron and Shockwave toy repaints in addition to Dinobot's high price it appears Takara Tomy are going with high prices going forward.

How does this affect your collecting of Takara MPs?

I'm really only interested in the Autobot cars. That won't change.

I would like to collect them all, as feature "centrepiece" editions of select characters, but will probably have to be more selective in future.

Naturally lower prices is better but it wont likely change my collecting. If there are higher prices and a sudden flurry of new bots/repaints then that might result in cutting back on other aspects of my collecting such as tracking down missing G1 accessories and bots or splurging on the occasional Japanese G1.

I couldn't care less about Beast Wars. Sorry Verno.

One can live on bake beans on toast for the foreseeable future.

I’ll still grab any new G1 characters they release, but no more variants or diaclone characters and I never bothered with the BW ones anyway

I'm considering if I continue to buy any further MP with the exception of 2 figures, Hound and Jazz (should we ever actually see him released as an MP). Between the straight toon styling not appealing to me as much, no more access to Amazon Japan and higher prices in general I can't buy at the same rate was before. Even though there are a few more bots I would have liked to have purchased.

Whoa slow down there Mr Fancy, plain pasta with a dab of tomato sauce will do.

My MP collecting has become pretty sparse in the last three-ish years and I might grab one these days on a whim when the price is right, gone are the days of gotta catch 'em all or getting them the day they come out.
I've been surprised how well the waiting game works, it might be a year or more after release but eventually the secondary market happens and the prices are a bit more sane.

Holy revive!!!

As the prices are headed, yea nah. I want MP BW Megs and Black Arachnia, but as for versions 2.0 or more, I can live without them. Collecting masterpiece figures are almost becoming an elite thing where people with disposable incomes can buy them.
