>>5270510Well, I dumped a shitton of money into it. I figure, the rest of my family always collected shit, guess this is my version of "collecting some shit".
>Do you have an Ollies near byClosest one is like, Albany. Over an hour away, each way, and I don't even know where it is because I've never been to Albany. I'd be pissing away money on gas, for no possible return.
>so are you mainly aiming for Classics only or are willing to mix in other series aestheticsI'm mostly aiming for stuff from my childhood. So, G1-looking stuff mostly. My problem with other series is usually their aesthetics...Are shit. I absolutely cannot stand the spindly limb, Samurai Jack-esque stuff, and I especially hate the flat, noseless faces from a lot of TF series. It looks like shit. A lot of redesigns of older classics just end up looking bad. Even TF Prime, a series I liked overall, I wouldn't collect a figure from, because the basic character designs were pretty fugly to me outside of maybe Soundwave, who is also retardedly expensive from what I've seen. Of course, there are always exceptions, I have no absolutes in this. I just get what appeals to me.
>also i'm guessing you have a lax policy on repaintsI have no problem with repaints. A lot of TF's are traditionally repaints with minor adjustments, honestly.
