I thought I had EVERYTHING, but then I found out that Best Buy had released a copy of the new Transformers Movie with two new robot heroes, a battle-damaged Optimus and a bright red Cliffjumper. I just bought those two on eBay for $14.99, which might seem like a lot, but saves me fifty-odd dollars to buy a movie I didn't even like very much....Bumblebee talking as an advertisement for XM satellite radio and peeing on someone both did me in. Then I spent all of that extra money to buy the Fin Fang Foom from Malaysia just to get it a few weeks early. I'm an idiot, but I need them all!!!!
Side note: I have the most accurate checklist you've ever seen as I've kept every figure I've opened from every package and have noted all of the differences. But the problem is the differences are smaller than most people probably care about. Minimal repaints, different years on the feet, etc. I just know that Hasbro or someone is going to start developing awesome displays, which would explain the hexagonal holes in Galactic Heroes feet and round holes in SHS feet.....I could ramble forever about this stuff.....comments?

I am in awe of you, bro. I wish I had your wallet. However, I've spent over $200 these past few weeks on SHS, even with clearance. I had to have 'em as soon as I really gave them a second look. I'm in love with SHS. I wish I could collect GH but I don't have the cash or time to try and catch up. I'm caught up on SHS (somewhat) and it feels good. I have been waiting on displays. I know the holes have some meaning.

I was crazy to give up all of my other hobbies, so I'm able to treat myself to overspending on occasion for these little guys. Plus Fin Fang Foom is one of my all-time favorites. Can't wait to get it! JP

Great collection! I thought I was insane, but glad to see you have everyone, too. It's ridiculous how many variants there are, I agree. I just completed my photo archive of my Robot Heroes collection, and that took forever and it was just 39 figures!!!
