    im really trying not to buy anything pre movie as im concentrating on G1 atm, but so far not too much of it interests me that much anyway except for the leaders, sideswipe, breakaway and all the others but i'll wait until i see the movie.....hopefully the movie is crap and i wont want to buy any but i really dont see that happening

    I don't think buying pre-movie's an issue. A large part for me about TFs is not only the nostalgic/fictional side but also the engineering side. Once I was far more fiction-based but these days I take an inquisitive interest in new TFs hence why I'm happy to buy them pre-movie.

    The power of returnability also helps as well.

    As for buying a lot of toys... I know I've got a problem

    I'm bit of a completist but i generally won't buy repaints, Animated being the exception. The movie lines aren't that hot given the hype of the movie (i'm not expecting much) so i'm trying to wait until i see it so i only get figures featured in the movie.

    I buy pre movie for the scouts alone. For the deluxes, Ill wait til its a sale - sideswipe in particular I dont dig the silver color, Ill wait for the G1 repaint ( someone from Botcon confirmed that its going to be an official repaint in red anyways). The figures I got from last movie I wont get anymore (except mebbe Starscream - if he gets repainted and gets to be on sale). Megatron is still a horrible toy be it jet or crab tank, so I wont be getting even if it is a different version.

    Funy thing about the Scouts, I dion't dig em as much as I thought I would. I mean they are nice but I prefer the larger toys, the wave one scouts are actualy just a little to brighty coloured for me, I prefer my movie toys in more subdued colours it seems.

    I actualy rather like Voyager Megatron, He finaly looks intimidating in bot mode.
