I’m in the same boat. The only time I might end up with 2 would if I upgraded from a 3rd party to an official release. If I don’t need to sell the 3rd Party I won’t but so far I’ve had to each time. I’ll be hard pressed to sell off my FT willis. Hound may be the first character that I end up with one for bot mode and one for alt mode.

Yeah, Willis is great and someone will be hard-pressed to top it, I think. I don't get bogged down on preference for one manufacturer or whether it's official, so once I find a version of a character I'm satisfied with, that becomes my version. MP-10, MP-36, Mp-13, Willis, multiple KO Takara car-bots, Sphinx, Artifex, Gen Toy J4zz and a ton of BadCube and X-transbots are absolutely perfect for my purposes and I don't even look at other versions of those characters.
Yeah I’ve been eyeing their cone heads for some time. My concern is buying one or two and the third sells out. This happened to me with FTs Insecticons. A problem I have recently remedied. So I’m saving up to grab all three cone heads at their sale price but every time I get the cash something pops up.

I feel you, plus constantly upgrading can be expensive too. Normally I prefer the offical releases, not for any pedigree but to me, Takara normally tops any 3 party. Ft’s Grinder is my one exception. Though Sphinx will be even tougher for Takara to top than Willis. Love my Sphinx. I normally choose FT over any other 3 party but their Brawn is going to be tough. I’ve grown very attached to my Brawny.

Scored Masterpiece Thurst and Ramjet from the recent BBTS Black Friday sale for $99 each. They are nice and their transformations are slightly different from the original MP seeker trio.

Hey, is FT-24 Rouge worth picking up? I have a Zeta Arc I nabbed for cheap because I really like the metallic paint job, but I keep seeing Fan Toys' Rouge and thinking it's pretty sweet looking.

I have her and she looks pretty awesome. But if you like transforming your figures she's not for you, she ranks up there with FT Koot as far as difficult transformations go.

Good to know. Thanks! I hardly ever transform the bots with less realistic alt modes, so I think I'll grab her as a Xmas reward to myself.
