Well, I'm glad to see another Beast Wars fan join the ranks.
Really GD, there's not much I can impart on you that hasn't already been said.
My advice? - If you prefer MIB/MOSC then don't compromise because what you have working for you are 2 simple things IMO:
1. By limiting your BW collecting preference to show characters, you've drastically reduced the number of figures you'll need as well as the amount of money you'll have to spend.
2. Whilst the MIB/MOSC BW figures may seem pricey, compare them to any G1 figure of the same status, a
MIB Optimus Prime: $355 (including postage) - a
MIB Optimus Primal: $140 (considered postage).
Personally, I think if you just pace out your spending/collecting, stick to show characters only and go with the original figures over the Telemochas (As they are the figures you saw and wanted as a kid
), you'll definitely be able to amass a beautiful MIB/MOSC collection and I truly hope you succeed dude because it is something I'd very much like to do down the track myself.
Also, unfortunately for BW figures you'll find it near on impossible to try and find parts to 'build a complete figure' so to speak because unlike G1, unfortunately
, spare parts aren't particularly numerous and I'm currently in this situation with a couple of my own figures such as Basic Rattrap, of whom has been mentioned
, I thought was complete until closer inspection (I'm missing that blasted gun!).
So yeah, you're kind of restricted to buying 100% complete figures or MIB/MOSC figures if you want a complete and whole collection of figures.
The good thing though is there is a number of well versed BW Collecting members on the board that will gladly help you out where they can and between Verno (Who I've bought from on a number of occasions) and Autocon who are selling a large number of 100% Complete figures - You'll have a large number of figures you'll be able to obtain should you find yourself unfortunately having to go with non MIB/MOSC figures.
Keep us posted though dude and again, if there is anything you need to ask? - Please don't hesitate.
Oh, by the way...
