If you collect them and display them, do you take them out of the box, or are the strictly "collectors' items?"
I made a decision to not buy any Unicron Trilogy molds, so I was out Year of the Snake. Year of the Dragon Prime was cool, and I might still pick him up one day, but I already have the Asia Premium Series Prime, which is sufficient for the time being.
Year of the Horse Starscream is out, as per above. But YOTH Prime is awesome. If possible, I try to get 2 of figures I like so I can keep one stored and minty fresh, and open the other. So it goes with YOTH Prime. I expect to do the same with Year of the Goat Soundwave. If Laser Prime is decently priced, I might pick him up.
May I ask why you decided not to buy any UT molds? Fear of mold degradation?
Well, it extends beyond the Unicron Trilogy. I don't really collect anything that's pre-Classics.
That's mainly because I need to limit myself somewhere, and I don't want to get a few figures into an older line and spontaneously decide to be a completionist. The hobby's expensive enough as it is. Plus, I was never particularly fond of the Unicron Trilogy; it ranks pretty low on my list (that's just me, though - I know you rank it highly).
However, I do own the Welcome to 2010 Dominator Unicron & Creator Primus, and the Amazon Unicron. That's about it though.
