My problem is I can't part with older versions of a bot just because a newer, better one is out. Like Siege Soundwave is excellent but I can't get rid of TR Soundwave, he's chunky and awesome in his own way.

Oddly enough I have the same problem except the only duplicate bot I did get rid of for this reason was in fact TR Soundwave. But it was mainly because my nephew loves Soundwave and he was going to have more fun with a big chunky Leader Soundwave than I would with him on the shelf. I'm not ready to jettison the CHUGs in favor of WFC yet...but the day may come.

It's rough! As I sift through things I think I might be pretty close to parting with my Animated and Prime stuff. I already tossed a bunch of Beast stuff aside. It's looking more likely that I'll focus on MP style and just keep the greatest hits in CHUG.

That's pretty much where I'm landing, I think. MP focus, CHUG favorites, and a vintage section for G1/BW. Most of my TFA is gone but I'm having more trouble letting the TFP stuff go for some reason. I didn't even like that show that much but I really did like the toys.

I think the CHUGs and the WFC figures are stylistically different enough to be separate collections anyway. The real problem is figuring out what to do with old versions of MP/3rd party figures. They're usually still good enough figures that I don't want to sell them, I basically need to set up a shelf of MP rejects. Oh MP-01, what am I going to do with you?

I have three different "MP" Springers. One is trash but I love Springer so he gets to stay.

The TFP toys all mostly had really need transformations and a nice aesthetic. I loved the Voyager Optimus I had for a while.

The only one still on my shelf is 1E Bulkhead and that’s because he can fit in with the Wreckers.

It's surprising how effective this strategy is.

I'm also dealing with my 2000s habit of buying two of everything. Found a box that's just MISB 2006-2007 Classics that I forgot I had so I guess I have to sell those now. It never ends.
You know where to list them if you want to get rid.

I only have excellent ideas
A friendly heads up to what seems like, for the most part, an astonishingly chill thread: while we have no way of knowing who buys red texts, if they're vile enough or, say, are filled with homophobic slurs, mods can just go ahead and get rid of them. So either find a nicer way to have a tantrum at people for buying too many robots or the wrong robots or whatever the gently caress is going on, or get used to having your ten dollars go down the drain.

If you’re going to be a weirdly mad sexually repressed person, you may as well like Transformers in the meantime, I guess?

Nah, only movie OP is a big enough rear end in a top hat to be on Guy's level. Maybe Red Lantern Bayverse Prime would work.

Yeah. This isn't a pipeline for free redtext reversions for all, but rather just a warning that if a redtext includes language and stuff that is bannable elsewhere on the forums we won't put up with it in an av. If anyone wants to buy Rhyno an avatar that says he's a dumb idiot who Guy Gardner would hate or something stupid like that I can't stop them but the hyperbolic homophobia is self-defeating.

Edit: I put a placeholder request through but I just saw Invictus' PM so if you can't find your old av let me know, I think you'll like what they chose.
