well guys... I have decided not to get the new henkei coneheads.
It has been a troubling couple of days wrestling with the possibility of this (pre) purchase and I am very happy with the outcome.
It is the certainty of picking up a classics Cyclonus, and the chance that I may find an Acid Storm cheap enough to tempt... plus the strong suggestion of a Sunstorm in the not too distant future. To be honest that is more than enough decepticon jets for my collection. I only really collect what I can display, every figure I own is on display around me. I have no plastic containers filled with toys or display cabinets 3 or 4 figures deep. It sometimes worries me when I go to Big W and pick up a figure that is worth US$7.77 and I pay AU$23.88 for it... If I paid somewhere in the range of AU$100 for a figure of the same size and quality then I'm afraid my collecting would be going in the wrong direction.
Don't worry, man, I can sympathise w/ you completely. There have been times recently I feel like I want to sell off chunks of my collection so I can have more of it on display too and just concentrating on my core collecting habits but then I get sucked back in. And w/ spending $100 a fig, it has to really be something special to you too. if you're not feeling it, chances are, you don't want it enough so you're making the right decision.

Yeah, trust me I'm not worried... it took a lot of thought to come to this decision, but I'm happy to be here. I will still pick up (as I said) more decepticon seekers and am really looking forward to masterpiece Grimlock. I also have the feeling that I have a reissue G1 Megatron in my future, something I have never owned.
Be aware that there are legal matters around owning a gun Transformer like G1 Megatron. Laws regarding the ownership of that toy differ between states and territories. e.g.: in NSW we require a replica firearms permit and the toy(s) must be in a locked display unit housed with secured premises (see here about NSW laws on gun Megatron ownership). I'm not familiar with Victorian laws in regard to this but it's something that I would recommend that you investigate when considering the purchase of a gun Transformer.
