#TGIF - Collector Frustration: Top 5 Reasons Why - What Frustrates You About Collecting Transformers?

Prices and scalpers. I can't afford 99 percent of what's coming out, and for what I can, scalpers ensure I don't get it.

1) I was born in 1976 and I am pained every time I see yet another Optimus Prime... or Bumblebee... or Starscream.  The nostalgia train must have moved on by now, right?

2) “Wow!  <insert 3rd party figure name here> is the best version of this character, ever!  I love how they... wait... now <insert another 3rd party company name here> has their own version of this character that looks even better”!  

3) Scale issues still bug me (but the last couple of years have gotten better)

4)  I like Rescue Bots way more than I should... ugh.

5) Someone mentioned scalpers?  Totally!  If you’re buying these and not immediately tearing open the packaging to transform/pose/combine with other TFs... or wrapping them up for a loved one, I question your fandom.
