The clock has just struck midnight on Christmas morning where I am so it's time to start the Christmas haul list!

So far I've got AM Breakdown from my best friend. She gave it to me a few days ago so I don't know what else I'll get from my parents.

FoC Onslaught and Swindle from my bro

News Credits: 226 · Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:19 pm

Zip, Zero, and Zilch. Same as last year.

And no, i'm not joking.

Probably the only Transformers that will be given to me this Xmass (I have everything so no one take any chances) is this U.F.O:

A DOTM transformable Optimus Prime digital watch. The first time I even heard of this thing is when I unwraped it. Sure, it not worth much, but only 2 or 3 are offered right now on Ebay and I never ever saw this in store. It's kinda a awesome little thing. I will never wear it but I'll keep it sealed, hanging on my Wall Of Fame.

Thank you, dear sister'Ms boyfriend! You're a bro! :APPLAUSE:

I got cash...in a box wrapped in TF-themed wrapping paper. My family knows I'm super picky about my TF's and model kits, so instead of taking the risk of getting me something I already have or dislike, they usually give me some cash to get what I want. The nice box makes it less impersonal. But I'm not complaining. Far from it, actually. :grin:

Camera and smartphone's out of batteries, after taking so many family pics--no pics of the box, sorry.

Evil genius needs to look at existing threads first before creating his own. :wink:

Two days ago, I picked up Prime Dead End, Thundertron, FE Bulkhead, and DOTM Air Raid in one night.

I rather doubt my parents got my Transformers this year so I don't really have a Christmas hall. Booo. Lol. I kid.

I can only point to things I've bought for myself over the last month or two, a few of which I put aside in case my parents wanted to wrap them up for Christmas as something of a freebie (meaning I wasn't looking for them to purchase them off me as a gift, I was just going to give it to them to wrap so they didn't have to spend money). Parent's never took up the offer though, so I'll probably spring open the boxes tomorrow... it'll all depend on whether I want to do it around my 3 year old niece or not, seeing as she'll be up for Christmas.

Those figures are:

Hasbro MP-10
PRID Vehicon
1st Edition Vehicon

and these guys... don't really know what category they fall under, other than legion class. If anyone knows what http://shmax.com has them classified under, that'd be cool. Spent like 20 minutes trying to find Bee before I gave up. Closest I got was the Universe line, but it's still rather different as far as paint apps go.

Picked up 10th anniversary Tarantulas from a local retailer today as I was selling off all my alternators. It's a shame that I don't have a BW display right now...

Other than that, I do not expect any more TFs until MMC's Skywarp arrives and I ship my BBTS Pile of Loot.

9 TFs so far. its a good haul and the 26th im going to TJ max to get rumble.

My parents just gave me voyager PRiD Dreadwing. I now have all the TFP figures I want that are currently available. After a full year the Decepticons finally out number the Autobots on that shelf!

Brother-In-Law strikes again!

Merry Christmas everyone!

One of my 6th grade students got me a DOTM Sideswipe.

That is all so far.

No Transformers for Christmas, mostly books!

Got a book of Star Wars paper planes which I will pester my younger brother with for a while.

What my bro got me for Christmas (a bit of an inside joke, but I think you all will get it):

Not sure if I want to open it or not.

Also got the G2 FoC Combaticons.

I don't know if this counts but I'm surfing this site with my new iPad Mini my wife gave me for Xmas. This site hasn't looked better, mainly because I have only surfed this site with my iPhone 4S in the past. lol

News Credits: 9 · Tue Dec 25, 2012 3:20 pm

^Haha, cool^, he'd be a decent figure if he had a neck joint.

I also got FoC Shockwave! Hurray! A good Christmas!

News Credits: 251 · Tue Dec 25, 2012 4:53 pm

Didn't get MP Optimus or Thundercracker. My mother thought it'd be better if I got a new laptop instead of a $130 Transformer(it's a nice laptop, though). :-(

A little disappointed, but not giving my hopes up just yet: got other presents from relatives in the days to come. Anyway...

The initial rack-up for this year is mainly the Generations Decepticons currently out. Soundwave & Laserbeak, Onslaught, Brawl, Blast Off, Rumble & Ravage, and Frenzy & Ratbat were opened today. No Swindle or Vortex today (disappointment seeping in...), but like MP Optimus/Thundercracker, I have other presents from relatives I have yet to open in the days to come.

Non-related, but got a completely badass U.S Marine ring, with the traditional Eagle, Globe, and Anchor smack on the top, embroidered with "United States Marines", "Semper Fi" engraved in the band, a tank ( :KREMZEEK:

), and one of the sides with my initials on the side as well.

UPDATE: My grandmother got me Prime First Edition Starscream, and went to Wal*Mart today in hopes of getting Swindle so my Bruticus wasn't hopping around with one leg. Got Vortex instead, since they didn't have Swindle.

Got RTS Lugnut from a friend of mine!! I haven't thought of him in ages, such a great gift, because I didn't see it coming!

I also got FoC Soundwave, not as a gift, but the same friend picked it up for me when he got his a few bucks off.

. I really need to take some picture of my updated Decepticon shelf.

Tue Dec 25, 2012 6:39 pm

i also got 20 bucks and im going shopping tomorrow and i want to go to tjmaxx and marshalls to look for a rumble and RTS lugnut.

Online or in-store? If it's the latter, you my friend, are a brave man!

I got myself a greatest battles deluxe megatron (Green Tank) and a Deluxe Generations Galvatron via Ebay and My parents got me the G2 Bruticus set. This thing is so beast. I'm debating on getting the retail versions as well. Good idea?
