    Above and beyond picking what appeals from each toy line (sometimes heaps, sometimes nothing, depending on the line, and Cyberton and Classicsverse are my favourites) I'm a real sucker for TF books - guide books, art books, toy inventory books, even ones in Japanese where I can't understand a word).

    I draw the line at non-transforming toys and other merchandise, some of which is cool but I don't think I'd want to display it.

    i use to have a line (several lines in fact)
    no headmasters. then i bought headmasters.
    no pretenders. then i bought pretenders.
    no beast wars. then i bought beast wars.
    no non transforming stuff. then i bought non transforming stuff.

    now i just dont even bother drawing any lines at all as i know i'll eventually break them.
    what can i say, the body is strong, but the will is weak and the choices are vast.

    I stick with Toys, Comics, and DVDs, and have been starting on the collection books, though only pick those up on an individual basis.

    Figures - I will get repaints if they're a new character or are in an interesting colour scheme. Mainly recent lines as, being a student, I don't have the spare cash to buy many older figures.

    Comics and DVDs - if I have an older version of the same thing, I won't buy the new version. (EG: Have all three BW seasons as seperate releases so don't want the box set. I already have the 4 TPB of AHM, so won't get the Hardcover.)

    I won't touch the G1 toys as I honestly don't care much about the toys these days. I do have a G1 Soundwave and MP SW and SS though. Just into Universe, Generations, and movie stuff.
