Voting options for future collection polls

[BigTransformerTrev]

I think Paulbot's annual survey sort of covers this, but I certainly wouldn't detract from the suggestion/proposal.

Which one is that and when? Sounds interesting

Better start counting then... >_<

Gok, why not ask members to supply their collection count figures. In doing so that could allow u to select the most appropriate data range rather than having to conjecture over what options to use. It's a bit more work but I think every member would just have to nominate their number. It's also allow you to conduct more statistical analysis such as correlations between different data points, growth rates, hypothesis testing etc. You could also be able to normalise the data which would really help with providing more info.

i couldnt give you an exact number i just ball park it......which is where goks surveys are good, i dont really care how small my collection is

i voted 200 increments seems resonable as there isnt usually 200 items released in a year to make massive shifts in the figures

i give up after 21

Nearly five years between posts on this thread. Maybe a record!

Hursticon's talking about the Ozformers Awards which shows favourites more than particular collecting patterns.

(Working on the 2013 award form at the moment)

According to the 2013 checklist of Hasbro US, Hasbro HK and TakaraTomy toys released during this year (or expected by the end of this year), there were (about) 492 Transformers toys this year!
That does NOT count anything released in multiple markets that didn't change the packaging (like the Kreo in Japan or the Platinum toys in HK), or anything that was a multi-pack that had the focus on the combined form (eg Kreo combiners or the kreons in a build set), or any roleplay items. (so if you count any of those individual combiners or character toys in a bulk set, the number for this year will be even higher)

The number is a little higher this year, despite not being a movie year, because of all the Kreo and Botshots being released in cheap, massive numbers.
Next year should be even more, with a movie line (and all the gimmick stuff), as well as the ongoing Kreo & Botshots.

Kre-Os, Kreons and Construct-Bots don't count under the UCM (Article 08) so it wouldn't affect UCM-based polling.

wow it does not feel like that, i guess because we have such a limited release retail year and i am so behind in picking stuff up too

How many people really have large collections in excess of 1000? I don't think many of us have collections that are that big. I only have 303 toys in my collection and I think there will be a lot more like me and far fewer with over 1000.

19% of collectors surveyed have collections numbering 1000 or more.

Honestly have no Idea what numbers I have. When I was a youngun it was around 100, I stopped collecting for a long time and started back up with Alternators/Binaltech then Generations and the Movies, animated and prime. so probably close to 1000.

perhaps increments of 150 or 200.
The problem with this is we then lose resolution in the data.
Why bother limiting ourselves to other threads, if we have 15 increments and somewhere else has 10 and we need to compare, just fit out 15 increments into their 10.
