Still buying Transformers toys

I don't know why I still buy Transformers still even today. I am 22 years old, but I have stopped playing with it. Since about a year and a half ago I have spent money on more then 70+ Transformers. Combined that is a lot of $$$.
Recently I got my hands on some G1 Transformers and some Japanese I don't even know the names of.
Hell I even buy TF Armada toys, not because of the show ( I don't like it ) but because of the Armada comic and I like the comic characters a lot and it makes me wanna buy the toys. And I like the quality of the toys as well, even the small ones Transforms differently, and not like the easy way like G1 toys does.
I don't buy the Beast Wars or Beast Machines toys except those that looks like real Transformers that transforms into veichles and not animals.
Better slow down so I can fix the hole in my wallet, since it is growing and growing.

Looking forward to buy the 18 inch tall Unicron toy that will come out soon. The prize figure for that one is 49$

I don't know if Unicron will appear in the Armada serie though.

Honestly, the Armada toys are grossly underwhelming. I haven't bought a single one yet, and I don't plan on buying any ever.

I'll wait until they get a good TF series made again. Then the toys won't suck so much.

My, you've been out of the loop, haven't you?

And I stand corrected. I shall be buying the Armada Unicron action figure, if only because they never released the Beast Wars Neo version.

Dude, as sad as it is, I'm 23 and I buy shitloads of Starwars toys, and the only thing that stopped me from regaining my Optimus Prime was that the assholes at the anime store bought Toys R Us' stock up. Fucktards.

This proliferation of pro mecha paraphernalia is a disturbing turn of events, and this sentence demonstrates that the supposed harmless effects are in fact quite destructive and addictive. [/informational film]

I havn't bought any Armada toys yet; they're pretty bad in comparison to Generation 2 - Beast Machines and the better RiD figures. The Unicron toy looks badass though. I'll probably buy it if I have $50 lying around when it comes out.

I still buy all types of toys. I have to say that the new Transformers look more like the originals. much better made. Although I miss putting the stickers on. I used to do that for my nephew.

I miss the Beast Wars line. Especially the Japanese ones... I never got a chance to get myself Longneck (a giraffe), or Breaker (a penguin).

I didn't care much for the Japanese Transformers toys. But after have seeing some pics of them there are several ones I want to get my hands on. Railracer, Liocaiser (sp?) and plenty of other stuff. The only way for me to get my hands on the Japanese TF is to order them via internet, and that is something I rather not do for several reasons.

What, you mean the Transformers: Car Robots line? It was okay, but only okay. They were either REALLY cool vehicle modes, where you couldn't even tell they transformed, or REALLY cool robot modes. The other mode usually sucked.

I do have the so called Spy Changers. They are like small bricks with arms.

No, you play with Lego. The plural of Lego is Lego, not Legos.

Here is my Lego. That is a Lego piece. Look at all those Lego pieces. Here, have some Lego. There's no s in the word.

This bothers me almost as much as the people who spell "canon" as "cannon"

Why? So they break when you try to transform them?
