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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

by **Doubledealer93** » Tue Dec 25, 2012 5:39 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?

In store, early, missed the chaos :grin:

Got Vortex and Blast Off at Target for $19.60 each thanks to the sale. They only had one of each and no other Combaticons.

Found Brawl at Kmart, but they weren't on sale unfortunately, so had to pay the full $25. That is still cheaper than importing from the U.S. by about 50c though

Worth noting that Kmart had the best selection of all the shops I visited.

Just completed the retail set and have the G2 set in my PoL, can't wait to have them standing side by side! That's coming from someone who hated the gestalt when fist seen.

Kmart has been getting a lot of TF's lately, they're probably the best place to shop, the ones that i visit anyway. Funny thing is, the stores don't all seem to carry the same ranges. IE Target will have FoC Soundwave and Soundblaster, but the other retailers won't. I've got a hunch Kmart'll import the wave that contains Blaster and Grimlock, so I'm holding out on buying those two as the PoL is pretty much the same $$$.

Yep, Kmart has been great recently (ignoring the lack of BD sale

), but today I went to 2x Kmart, 1x Target and 1x TRU.

Both Kmart's had some of the discs for SW/SB and the second one I visited had SW & SB as well as the Combaticons. The first had a few botshots and legion or legends or whatever they are and a bunch of non-transformer toys on the tf shelves so they didn't look empty...

Target was almost out of tf stock as well, just the two combaticons and PRiD/FoC deluxes.

TRU was just as bad as the first Kmart and Target.

Kmart is the best place to find tf toys, but they are still a little hit and miss. If they hadn't stocked these at prices that were just below the cost of importing I wouldn't have even bothered to go looking. The time and fuel would've turned me off.

This is just odd, but my Wal-Mart stopped carrying GI Joe and Marvel Legends, and have started picking up Transformers. It used to be like once every 3 months they would change what they had on hand via orders but now its like they get new stuff every 2-3 weeks. Still waiting on the Voyager stuff, but I will have that soundwave as it isn't too out of scale compared to the deluxes, plus it's BA alternate mode is sweet. Happy new years everyone!:D

This was a Christmas pressie to myself in a way. It turned up just before Christmas, so I kept it boxed until Christmas day to unwrap...

Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker :grin:
