Honestly, how many Cobra Commanders, Snake-Eyes, Troopers and Storm Shadows do I need? Now, I mostly purchase figures that look completely awesome or since I had him/her as a kid, I want to repurchase them in the 25th...*ahem*...Modern style to relive memories. Since wave 6, I have mostly stuck to my guns of not being feeling the need to be a completist and purchase a Cobra Commander "variant" from the last Cobra Commander that I just purchased prior, for example.
So with that said, for Wave 10 I only plan on purchasing Mutt and Junkyard, Croc Master and the Cobra Para-Trooper. Wave 11, I only plan on purchasing ONE Eels and an Airborne. I will leave the rest for you guys =).
So what type of a collector of this line are you: A picky collector that buys only the figure/vehicle that interest you, or a completist and have to purchase every figure/vehicle that Hasbro releases in this 25th line?
I think everyone should collect like you that way there will be more for me to pick up =)
