When has another TF member inspired you to do something?

I like commemorating specific "numbers" in my collection. For example in 2004 as my collection was approaching its 666th Transformer I really wanted to get Energon Megatron as my 666th Transformer. Unfortunately for me the toy couldn't come out soon enough so I settled for second best and got Energon Scorponok instead; so Energon Scorponok is my "devil TF."

My collection count is now on 1310 so I have 27 Transformers to go before I hit my 1337th Transformer, so I'm thinking about which TF I should get as my "1337" ("leet") Transformer. When Animated came out I was thinking about Perceptor, but now that looks unlikely so I'm rethinking. Scalpel perhaps - but not sure if I can wait that long... if I see a Scalpel toy I'll buy it straight away! Unless I refuse to open it until after my 1336th Transformer and count it that way!

Were these inspired by another member?

Sigh. Admittedly when I first saw Griff collection in the past 2006 Toy fair at Wharf 8 - it inspired me to get G1 complete - well to my degree of definition of complete, and why wouldnt I? its pretty impressive for someone who at that time had but 125 figures miles away in Philippines.
That's me ogling in the corner of the picture there - very first one to enter the event, came quite early they were still setting things up so I just had brekkie first at a Donut shop til these guys were ready... I still keep that VHS giveaway ( even though it aint playing right) at the door I got


it inspired me to try to complete G1 rather than just get the figures I wanted which was how i was collecting then. Some figures I found ugly before all seemed flawless to me after that... e.g pretenders

I was keeping a spreadsheet thinking of semi celebrating my 1000th figure, but much to my dismay as there are days I buy, buy and buy, then forget to update accordingly ASAP. As of now Im 50+ figures above 1000th and so missed which 1 was my thousandth figure

So far Im influenced more on just G1 though, the other series so far I keep my former ways of collecting what I like and not getting every single figure.

A friend on LJ was gushing about how much she wanted the Animated Jet Twins. If it weren't for her general enthusiasm regarding them, I wouldn't have picked them up.

Also, dirge selling Universe Triceradon inspired me to buy it, if that counts. :P

You guys inspire me every other month or so to acquire a figure/line that I had previously passed off as not-interested.

Kup inspired me to take apart my ultramagnus and blaster after he had done so with his fort max and etc.

TF Member? Surely you mean OTCA member. The only person a TF member inspired was Michael Bay.

This thread inspired me to fill in the gaps in my TF spreadsheet to work out exactly how many TFs I have.....
And the answer is 999!
I'll hit and pass 1000 in the next few days!
