    Default How much will you be spending in 2016

    This year all of us will be spending money in some cases it will be transformers so I decided to point this out.

    2 voyagers per wave that's $100 per wave and there is roughly going to be 3-4 waves making it $400.

    Then theres the headmaster deluxes: 4 per wave and 4 waves $400 (at $25 each).

    Fort max, hopefully Kmart will get him so he isn't $300 like devy so i'll say $250 without a sale.

    $1050 and that is before the CW releases of Sky lynx, computron and liokaeser...

    I paid $250 for UW Defensor so i'll put the box sets at roughly $150 (from a local shop I've mentioned a few times called Pleasant Suprises) that's another $300 putting this year up to: $1350

    And then there is mp's...
    Leaders are $95 each (target) and theres 2 per wave: That's $780 for 4 waves of leaders

    That's my goals and I am also saving for my first car and MT Giant...

    Of course this is why I love second hand shops.

    So how much will you be spending

    Really tough question, If more combiner wars box sets are coming then Ill get those, Headmasters, and Fort Max. Sounds like could be almost everything.
    Masterpieces I'm overwhelmed with the releases, I'm sick of preorders. I stopped at Ironhide. I'm sick of waiting for masterpiece Galvatron at least there is shockwave

    The odd thing for me is it will depend if we get the go-ahead to extend the house which will include a large TF collectors room.

    If we get the loan I can build the room but afford bugger all new toys to put in it. If we don't get the loan I can buy plenty of toys but will have nowhere to put them

    My current dilemma.... I am boxing them all up and putting them in storage under the house for the day that I finally have space to display them. Sad but no other option.

    And the secondhand shops wont go away. As I posted in the other thread, TF collecting can be very expensive, but remember that in five-ten years time, when you're working full time and have more disposable income, you'll be able to go to secondhand shops, go on eBay, look at sales threads on the boards etc, and buy the things you can't afford now.

    I'm willing to purchase any Masterpiece from the G1 US cartoon continuity as long as its not a massively price-gouged ltd edition. Which still means are scaringly significant amount so far this year.

    I'm actually hoping for a brief hiatus so that I can catch my financial breath in between releases.

    I ______________ agree to purchase _____ hundred thousand dollars of sweet Transformers related products in the 2016 calendar year. I do this knowing that i may receive serious injury from my parents, partners, or loan sharks and i will not hold Hasbro or TakaraTomy responsible for my poorly structured arguements.

    Victorion and a whole heap of unofficial dinobots. Maybe some masterpiece too.
