What Is Your Transormers Budget?

[TheCasualOblivion]

I've heard people say "I wish I don't have the money" or "I can't afford that" a couple of times. Take the time here to describe your resources for purchasing Transformers. I can throw down 50 bucks a week when I need to, but I rarely do, though I did last week(OTFCC Roulette/Shadow Striker + G1 Astrotrain gun). I actually have about 75-80 bucks I could blow right now if I was sure what my car expenses were. I seem to be on the high end of resources here on this board.

[Devilbat]

Dude, you sound exactly like me; I'm right around thirty to fifty bucks a pop, but that's every two weeks when I get paid. Now I do alot better when I get rid of stuff on eBay occaisionally, but I only have so much stuff I can sell. My wife and I are trying to pay off bills so we can have a house, so I'm kinda limited as to what I can do unless I save a few weeks. So as you can imagine, the G1 re-issues are my number-one priority right now.

Is that supposed to read I wish, but I cant afford that? The way it's written now is I wish I couldnt afford it.

 

 

Anyways, for me, it's the second I see it, the second I buy it. Toy wise anyways. Ebay however I run in stages. Like right now im trying to complete Combiners (individual weapons and such) so I buy and try to get good deals but splurge cause you dont know when theyll pop up again.

usually i buy just some here and there: sometimes months at a time, because the larger ones are expensive and i collect other lines like gi joe, spawn, godzilla, and some star wars. As of late though, i have spent like 100-150 this month alone on transformers catching up with many of the energon figures. still want to pick up 20th ann. prime and some reissues. i have transformers fever.

[Metatron1050]

i dont work, so i gotta save my lunch money... 5 bucks a day. plus a few more bucks on top of that, but minus about 12-15 bucks for comics a week and im left with about usually 15-20 bucks for figures.

[Mike]

I dont have a budget at all, I make a few hundred extra bucks a year that I CAN put towards transformers, but I have other hobbies, and things to do as well.

 

80% of the new transformers I get are gifts, the other 20% are ones I get for really cheap, or just happen to have the money when i'm passing by a Toys R Us and they have a re-issue I need.

 

I put about 2 or 300 dollars a year into my collections.

[Iceman#1]

Well, I have 250 Euro's (after having paid all my monthly costs) that I can spend monthly on whatever I like!!

- But I have 2 hobbies curently: Formula1 and TF........

 

So I still need to be carefull on what I use my money for.

(currently my goal is to get a Takara MP Prime soon)

[JPrime]

I have about $20 until I find a job. @loll@ Im trying to see if I can get a Masterpiece Prime for that and some nude pics of my dog. Any takers? @loll@

[SureShot]

I have $170 a month... That's what me and my wife budgeted for each of us... not that we are hurting for money, but we are saving to buy a house... a bigger place to display the TFs

 

I just spent $90 this afternoon on some...

[ScottieEvil]

I have no budget either, but it's getting to the point that....

 

 

 

 

 

 

...I don't have that much left to get

[Agent Adam]

Budget????

[starscreaming]

Plastic and living at home!!

 

PERFECT & UNLIMITED!

[synch]

Whats a budget?

 

 

@loll@

 

 

 

by the time stuff gets around here slowly I seem to have enough for it & make due where everything else is considered.

Unless you display them seperatly you should just focas on there main combined mode parts that you don't have if any other wise its just a waste to spend the $ to have em sitting in a box someplace...

 

Orrr you should save up all this lil bit here & lil bit there & buy one of them great big lots you see pop up every so offten, could even keep a few figures & sell off the rest I'm sure either to board memebers here or right back on ebay

[Ledezman]

I normally can spend around $50-$100 per month, it depends on how many comics or toys from other lines I get. I recently saved enough to buy the Masterpiece Convoy, at last.

[Opticon]

Mine all depends on what i find on ebay....and i only get to walmart maybe once a month (there isnt one in my town)

 

Could be $50 for a whole month, could $150 in a week...its all relative.

[LionO]

It usually depends. Now that new Commemoratives are out my budget is going towards Transformers and TMNT. Ebay which was the main cash taker is in the back seat but I usually have about $150 a month for toys.

That sounds exactly like my situation, but it comes to alot less than that a month; more like 60 or 70. But sometimes my wife bribes me to do stuff by buying me an extra Transformer or a few new figures I don't have. (I'm not joking...pathetic huh.) I'm weak and I can be bought. (lol)

 

We too are trying to save and pay off bills in order to get a home of our own. My motivation is to have a toy room to actually display my stuff in. That's the dream...

 

But this past week, due to eBay, I just spent about $170.00 on Transformers. I've bought so much crap the last few years that I can sell some stuff on eBay every now and then in order to suppliment my addict...er, I mean hobby. (lol) But that gravy train's gonna come to an end when I run out of stuff I'm willing to sell.

ANd yup, hicksville i be in. only fast food place we have is subway

[Magnum Kaede]

I'm very picky so, usually my budget isn't an issue, for instance I haven't bought a transformer since Smokescreen and before that, well a long time.

[GranSazer]

I'm with SS49: if I see it and I want it, it's mine. I usually keep a couple hundred in my PP account and a few in my checking for TFs. I used to spend $150 - $225 on comics a month, but I only buy DW comics and a TokyoPop GN here and there now. After shelling out mucho dinero for comics for over 30 years, I just got tired of it (that, and the fact that I was running out of room). I'm in sell mode with comics now. Everything must go. If anyone wants a sweet deal on back issues, PM me.

[Rodimus Primal]

I usually can spend a lot but right now I got fired from my job, got hired at a part time job, and I am presently looking for a full time graphics job. But, I still couldn't resist getting Dirge.

[SkywarpsGhost]

I cannot afford any new Transformers... I have NO MONEY AT ALL.

 

As in Zero U.S. Dollar(s).

 

I would LOVE to buy Energon and the last few Takara Re-Issue and Hound an' Silverstreak... but I can't. I have less then nothing.

 

Last TF I got... Alternators Sideswipe as a gift in February. Last TF I personally brought... probably Nemesis Prime around December I guess. I'm hoping this Wednesday I find Hound in the city... my lovely girlfriend will be with me... and her kindness... is plentiful.
