I guess everyone else is too busy opening presents, scoffing pies and boozing to visit Seibertron but I'm still surprised no-one else has started this topic!

I'll start off by saying that my only TF related gifts are:
ROTF Legends Bumblebee from one of my students, totally unexpected!
ROTF Voyager Megatron from my parents.

This is the first time I've (a) been given an unexpected TF (b) received a TF from my parents in at least 20 years so it's all been rather good.

I had a few frustrations with Megs but I've had a chance to play around and work around his faults so now I'm quite happy with him.

That's my turn, lets' hear what you guys got!

My white LioConvoy came from Target.com yesterday and I won a Bludgeon on eBay this morning, both of which are being paid for by the money my Mom sent up last week. That's it on the TF front so far. In general, I got Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the DS, Star Trek, Harry Potter & Terminator: Salvation DVDs, and a Denny's giftcard for exactly the price of a plate of nachos (including tax!) And my Mom secreted up a Gund bear like the one I had when I was a child and had my fiance surprise me with it. I'm turning 30 next week and I got a teddy bear from my mommy :wink:

Still, needs more robots.

Wife got me ROTF Skywarp and Ramjet to complete that Seeker set. She also got me Electrostatic Soundwave and Bat-Trap. She is cute sometimes with her naming conventions.

The boy got the Robot Heros Ironhide / Dispensor set. This way her will quit asking me to open my set I got last year.

I got Henkei Clear Starscream, MP-1B Convoy Black, both Target exclusive voyagers, and Wal-Mart MP Skywarp. Opened everything today except the Target voyagers.

I buy my own toys, so here is what I gave myself:
Buster Prime
MP Black Convoy
Alternity Bumblebee & Cliffjumper
City Commander upgrade
Superion 'Snowman' upgrade

by **olokin** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 10:24 pm

I got my Alternity Bumblebee 2 days before X-Mas and bought myself a TFU Superion set on the day itself. All good deals on both items. Especially on the set, 5 figures for the price of one deluxe figure (almost)

I got 2 other non TF items on the 25th too. :grin:

I made out pretty well. I hit ship for my pile at BBTS on Thursday so it's still sitting in their warehouse. From that, I'm expecting Alternity Bumble and Cliff, Encore Big Mission #3, MP Black Convoy and the majority of DCUC wave 11. I also recently picked up City Strike Snake Eyes and Electrostatic Soundwave. For Christmas I got Target Lio Convoy, Human Alliance Sideswipe and Ben 10 character Echo Echo. Don't know anything about the last one, just that he has headphones and looks cute as hell.

by **warwik311** » Fri Dec 25, 2009 11:57 pm

wife got me the Matrix of Leadership Boxset!! didn't expect it at all, very stoked. Brother-in-law got me a couple of TF Tshirts. And now that christmas is over my TF shopping hiatus can end. What to get first?

by **joesaysso** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 1:36 am

The money wasn't there to do Christmas for myself this year. Birthday in two days though, maybe the wife will surprise me with something. I did however get ROTF leader Jetfire, deluxe Jolt, and the large Devestator set for my son. Oh how I wanted to avoid Devestator but that was my son's number 1, most wanted gift. I had no choice in the matter. He's 6 and doesn't understand how junky it is. Mixmaster never shuts up. And who designs this monstrosity and decides to make the two skimpiest figures of the bunch as the supporting legs so it can stand in only one perfectly balanced position? Otherwise, it tumbles over and falls apart. I get that he is supposed to look like some hunched over monster from the movie but at least beef the legs up a little bit and design some sort of lock system so the legs don't just fold up under his top heavy weight and send the figure rolling. Fortunately Dev and Jolt were on sale.

I thought I'd find out what we all got for Christmas this year. I actually didn't get any TF toys, but I did get TF boxers, PJ's, and I also got the Bakugan Maxus Dragonoid. I know that's not a Transformer, but it is a combiner and I like it a lot! But I thought it'd be fun to toss this idea around... Merry Christmas, Seibertronians!

I got the RoTF Ice Cream truck, and Voyager Animated Megatron. 2 I was actually wanting in the collection. Awesome.

by **Grimlockzilla** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 4:29 am

I got:
-G1 Megatron (encore) and ROTF Devastator from my parents
-ROTF Scorponok from my aunt and uncle
-Henkei Henkei Octane

My brother also got some, and i guess they count coz we pretty much share our toys anyways:
-Henkei Henkei Starscream
-ROTF Ravage
-ROTF Voyager Demolisher

I am a very happy boy :grin:

TF-related:

- Crossovers Iron Man & MP Skywarp from my wonderful brother-in-law...
- Another MP Skywarp from one of my awesome close friends (what to do with 2? I'd feel bad returning either of them)...
- Buster Prime as a present to myself

- And the best surprise... the Shout Matrix of Leadership DVD complete G1 series boxset from my wife! She rules.

News Credits: 4 · by **freaky777** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 6:21 am

I bought for myself for Christmas...
ROTF Voyager Megatron
ROTF Deluxe Thrust
ROTF Legends Wheelie
Alternity Bumblebee

Haha...

I got as presents TFs releated..
ROTF Legends Recon Bumblebee

I got another voucher which I can get for a Deluxe.. I'll get either Sideways or Dirge.. Hmm which is better..

by **WolfDawg** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 10:56 am

My girlfriend got me the G2 Dinobots for Christmas. Great looking figures, especially since I refuse to pay an arm and a leg to get the G1 versions. Ironically, I managed to get a G1 C-9 Swoop on Ebay for 20 bucks because the seller had it listed as a plane.

Back on the subject though, I also ordered Henkei Megatron for myself as a Christmas present. It still hasn't arrived though...

by **3.8TransAM** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 12:28 pm

No TF's for me :-(

I got pots, pans and house stuff lol (never buy/attempt to buy/close on a house/near x-mas)

Found a neat Target shirt and pajama dealio before Christmas while shopping though.

Also bought myself a half off 25th Prime at TRU on their sale.

So one way or another I scored lol
