Lies TF collectors tell themselves.......





Been sitting around and looking at my collections and I recall all the BS I told myself all the time regarding buying TF figures LOL. Yeah, we are all guilty, well at least me :)
Here are some of them that I can think of.


1. " I will only focus on ______ series. "
Initially I told myself I will just focus on masterpiece series as I am pretty sure I wont be able to have both masterpiece and 3rd party, but......  some 3rd parties are doing a pretty darn good and its pretty hard to say no to


2. "I will stop buying after ____ figures." ( Insert number )
Well, this is another big fat lie. I told myself I will stop buying once I have MP10 and MP12. You know, just display them in a corner, just the 2 of them......... Yeah right!  ;p


3. "I'm buying because they have resale value."
Not to say that they don't. Don't get me wrong, some really have great/insane resale value, but you know, you actually want to buy a figure to own and play with it, but you acted cool and say "I'm buying because of the resale value. Not because I just gotta have them."   Haha!


4. " That figure is too bulky/no diecast/joint issues, I won't buy it" ------ Then snaps a picture of that figure few weeks later and post on FB with the title " LATEST HAUL"


5. " I really need to stop buying"
Then one day after a new TF release.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................



6. " Relax, I will buy these figures, then when I run out of space, I will sell them off"
Oh boy.... this is a big dilemma.... I did told myself this and sure enough, I ran out of cupboard space after a few years, but there are still some space under the table, and my living room, and that table.... yeah, there is still some space, so I can keep buying. LOL

7. And the biggest LIE any collector can tell themselves............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

" ONE LAST ONE..... JUST ONE MORE, I PROMISE TO STOP AFTER THIS..... "





LOL. Have a great day guys. Till all are one.    :)

Next in line, MP 25 Tacks and MP 26 Road Rage




      Wow, really excited to know that next MP in line is Tracks! Wohoo!!! One of the more interesting characters in G1 and his cool flaying car mode. Can't wait to get him. He also comes with quite a number of accessories which include mini blaster in boombox mode, Raul ( his partner in crime ) and a stance for his flying car mode.





Here are some pictures I've got from the internet.





Of course with Takara, you will also have re-paints LOL. This is MP 26, Road Rage. I am not really familar with this character but from the net, she is Cross Cut's bodyguard/partner. Ladies and gentlemen, we have our 1st fembot! ( Finally ) But I was really hoping the 1st fembot will be Arcee..... but its ok, the paint job on Road Rage is excellent and the red makes the figure stand out a lot! Will be getting her as well as Tracks!
