I wasn't aware of this but I've acquired 16 robots in 2008:
1. Getter Comicon 2. Jeeg 3. Gundam (metallic composite one) 4. Black Serena 5. L-Gaim 6. Daimos 7. Dragonar 8. Godmars 9. Lightan 10. Reideen 11. Leopoldan 12. King Joe 13. Gaiking 14 to 16. EVA Specs
The total is around $1,500. The most I've spent as well (though most of these have been gifts).
It is a shock because I was not even aware of it. I don't have room in my shelf and there is a recession! What am I doing?
Thank god that I am not really into the robots that are coming out in 2009. The only one I am excited about is Falguen.
Should I now stop by color SOC completion/obsession. I have all of them from GX01 to the latest. Plus, all of the off shoots like the SPEC's, PX's, BPX's, etc...
I don't want to loose control.

Heh, I had the same problem with my transformers in the beginning. Then I sold the ones I didn't really want to make some more shelf space and regain some lost money ;D.

Admitting you are a completionist is the first step. Wow, that is quite the booty you collected in 2008. All very nice. (I think I collected 5 of those in '08.)

1. Yamato Dangarc Ace $215 2. Cm's Red Alpha. $125? 3. CM's Brave Chogokin Gohkin $125? 4. Soc gx 43 DIMOS diecast $165 5. Soc GX 42 Koutetsushin Jeeg $90 6. Soc GX 41S Brave Raideen $165 7. SOC GX-40 Godmars $180
around $1,065 (+- $100) I also sold some old extra robots to cover the difference. I think i did pretty good in keeping the toy cost low this year. It was a hard year because some many great robots came out from different toy companies.

If someone has a stable business/job or just plain rich, the recession should not affect you as far as buying. In fact, now is the time to look for the stuff you need. I could not even count how many items I picked up for 2008....and don't want to know anyway

I don't like to think about my yearly purchases in a comprehensive manner because it gives me a tummy ache.

I don't even want to think or try to count the damage, or I'll probably end up eighter having a heart attack or the wife killing me when I add up the totals!!

I've lost track of how many robots I've bought in a short period of time. I don't really have a lot of specimens; and I haven't bought any more since my last Toyopsy this past Christmas. ;D
Business is slow at my job. I look forward to a busy spring/summer so I can resume buying more figures... I really wanna get the SOC Raideen DX version with that Mountain kit; and a GX-02R.

I also realzed recently I certainly have "overbought" in 2009.
The industry has grown and hence several players bite into our wallet.
I fer I mihgt have to become more selective from now on.

I try to be selective but with the forthcoming releases for 2009 it gets really difficult. I couldn't resist putting a preorder for the fewture getter 1 reissue and will definetly be getting the daitarn and the max factory Dragonar. Hopefully I'll stop there, but I doubt it! The temptation is too much.

I'm afraid to put my own list up, or even to think about it. It wouldn't be a pretty sight >.<.
I have to curb my spending this coming year. I've already fail though, as three different SRW kits, an SDX knight gundam, and a figure statue in the last week all managed to slip into my "bought" list. <sigh>

LOL Umm. I think I will leave it with this. I located a Black Daltanious for a reasonable price. Everything else was icing on the cake. Also, If you are luck and have any free cash NOW is the time to locate what you want for a semi-ok price. Some gems have been shaken loose in tough times. Ed

Ooops... I forgot to add in the Masterpiece Voltron for 2008 (this makes it 17 robots and $1,600+ for 2008).
So far in 2009... Respect for Voltes, Tetsujin/Black Ox and Falguen for my birthday.
Let the madness stop.
P.S. I want the 3rd SOC book too! P.P.S. I need an intervention. P.P.P.S. Crack kills!!!

I realized I was spending too much on SOC when I noticed I could start buying Studio Half-Eye Products instead I bought around 25 Chogokin Robots in the last 12 months from CM Corp, Bandai, Fewture, Marmit, and so on... My cabinet has no space left for any other Chogokin, so I decided to actually buy Studio HalfEye's instead. For example, for every 4 CM Corps, I can get a Dancouga Nova. For 3 fewture products I can get a Vulking or a Cybaster. So, from now on, unless it is "unmissable" for me I wil skip.
