>>5912405I have a three-pronged evaluation system when it comes to buying a bot.
>Do I like the bot mode?>Do I like the alt. mode?>Do I like the character?Unless I can answer "yes" to at least two of the questions, I typically won't buy the figure. It keeps my collection from being crazy bloated, to the point where I just have a checklist of character that I feel I "need" to own. Never really understood the mentality of buying a toy just to say that you own it. Of course, my criteria means that occasionally I won't buy a toy of even my favorite characters if it looks like a sack of dump.
>Just wondering if it's something looked down onNot at all. That level of dedication is actually kinda neat. I've seen some people who have a single shelf dedicated to every version of a character. It actually looks pretty cool because of all the similar-yet-different designs, and cohesive color schemes, since most Transformer collections end up looking like a rainbow mess of plastic.
