    I'm a little too willing to buy repaints actually. My problem is that usually I wind up liking the second version of a mold more (ie I like Skullgrin more than Straxus, even though they are the same toy). I'm one who would wittle down the collection later, however, I think having 2 versions of a good mold is the way to go. I'll rarely buy a direct repaint without a fiction element though.

    I like repaints that are either accurate to the media they appear in or their own unique character eg seekers or ratchet and ironhide.

    I use to avoid buying them and even minor retools. Now i think if it's justified it's ok. I draw the line at Bumblebee though...to many out there already.

    so far the only repaints/redecos i have bought are classics ultra magnus and classics/generations seekers, oh and generation blurr.

    other than those, everything else is unique.

    If it's a straight repaint I'll ignore it. But if it has a remolded head then I'll buy it. The only reason I'll buy a straight repaint is if A) it has a precedent in G1(ie Classics Prowl/Silverstreak/Smokescreen, the Seekers, etc) or if it looks spectacularly better than the original. (ie ROTF Buster Prime/Jetfire 2pack.)
