To get or not to get
I am a mint in box collector and have set out to purchase and keep for eternity the complete 2007 movie series. I am having a little trouble opening my wallet these days to buy repaints and the all spark line etc etc.
Im not sure if I will regret not buying them later. MMMM At what point do you draw the line in the sand and say enough is enough?
When your missus walks out the door coz you can't afford dinner after buying the fifth repaint of Arcee.

Camshaft was where I said enough's enough. It was the first Movie toy where I said, "no I just don't like the look of it and I hated the original toy I'm not going to buy it."

I'm with Paulbot. Camshaft was pretty much the last straw for me. And it's not an issue of money. It's an issue of exploitation. I, as a fan. don't want to buy inferior rrepainted toys where there isn't even an attempt to make this figure more appealing in any other way (rename, new weapon etc.). Do I need Jungle Bonecrusher? Hell no. I need Voyager or Leader Bonecrusher, damn it.
Even more importantly, there's a lot of other TFs I could throw my money at on eBay rather than crappy moulds that should never have even seen the light of day.
Finally I also don't feel like my collection's missing anything if all it's missing is an fugly repaint of the same said character. I mean, I'm not going to look back and go "drat, I wish I had bought that really crap repaint. Why didn't I throw my money away?"
