The wife and I decided to open presents a bit early this year (like we always do). She bought me the Black MP Rodimus I had been drooling over since pictures were released, I bought her a 4 Gig X-Box with Kinnect so she can dance to her heart's content.

I also Pre ordered the Black Jetwing Pime way back when and told myself it'd be my Christmas present to myself. Luckily, it arrived 2 days ago. I wrapped it, put a shiny bow on it...then opened it 10 minutes later :lol:

Lastly, I ordered Double Shattered Glass Prime and SG Rodimus from KO Toys last week (before the site got rid of all the TF products). I'm hoping that I get that order today...but I'm not counting on it. I hear KO Toys is pretty unreliable as far as shipping goes. Anyways, I uploaded some pictures of the two figures that I DID get just because they're both so awesome.

So, to any other board members who are as impatient as me, what Transformer did you get for Christmas?

That I know I'm getting : TFP Arcee & Starscream. PCC Grimstone & Leadfoot. RPMs Optimus & Megatron (yey for cheap ($2) stocking stuffers xD)

That I bought myself - Sky Shadow and Ultimate Optimus

If I'm getting any others they'll be a surprise

I'm not getting any TF's for Christmas anymore. Walmart changed it's layaway pickup date from the 23rd to the 16th without announcing it meaning that the KreO Optimus Prime my girlfriend had set aside for me (among other things) is gone. With my KOToys Reflector order still probably a month off I'm tempted to ship my BBTS POL with just Nightbird in it so I can at least look forward to that this week.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, she probably got me Dark of the Moon. So there's that.

Prime Voyager Optimus and Deluxe Cliffjumper. Preordered (paid for by my parents) DA-31 Que and DD-13 Soundwave, already shipped from BBTS.

Quite an expensive Christmas, really. As for the rest of the people in the family, my Grandmother gave me $20.00 and the rest of them, not sure.

I found Guzzle! In Italy!
(And PCC Bombshock, because I needed my fix..)

That's about it, really.
Everything else is usual family stuff, possibly books.
I do need books, so no complaining here!

I know my mum has gotten me a TFP deluxe and that'll probably be it.

I dont think I'm getting any TF toys this year, which is a first in a long long while.

My future in laws got me a Leader Ironhide for Chanukah. Apparently they picked it out of my Amazon.com wishlist because my license plate is IRNHIDE.

News Credits: 9 · Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:13 pm

TF Prime Arcee and Bumblebee, and possibly "The Walking Dead" season 1 on DVD (I saw an email from Amazon.com that I probably wasn't suppose to see, heh).

A long time ago, I had a PS3. It crashed and burned. Aside our poor state of financial distress, they got me a brand new PS3! And on top of it, were going game hunting tommaro! No Wireless Internet out here however, so it will be a little while Before I smear you guys in WFC.
And Burn, hookers DO take them, you just need to insert them correctly...

I also picked up some KOs in early December when they announced the site was closing. First (and last) time, but I paid the extra $20 to get it shipped out in a week and walked off with a Rainmakers, Black Death SS, Double Shattered OP, SG Roddy, and Wildrider.

Friday afternoon was awesome, got my Pile of Loot in from BBTS, so Battle Tanker, 2 new Hercules figures, Encore Devy, and the e-Hobby MP Roddy. I know, it almost sounds like I'm gloating but I did pay for some of this in advance. I mentioned before, but it really is getting to the point where all these expensive figures should be spaced out a bit more. Or maybe I should just wait instead of preordering...

My g/f got me the new Generation 1 TPB from IDW (reprinting the original US Marvel series) and also a new Decepticon t-shirt I'd never seen before. She definitely kicked ass in her selections!!! Unless she got me some other figures that I can't unwrap until tomorrow, I think that's it.

Also got notice that iGear's Rager and Spray got shipped yesterday. Just waiting to hear about Traitor (should be in the next week).

Regardless of the items you receive, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas (or "Happy Holidays"), and that next year treats you all well.

It turned out to be Starscream - I'm very happy about that! The only Decep in the first releases and I've got him. He's amazing - he looks to creepy, like he's hatching a plot at this very moment.

So I did get Dark of the Moon (sweet!) and my girlfriend was trolling me. Well, trolling-ish. They did cancel the lay away but she found the last one in the store and picked it up. I unwrapped it and was all "yay!" but when I just opened it, someone had already taken out the bag with the Kreons and Optimus head and stuff. So back to Walmart I have to go. Still, I unwrapped it and was happy but if I have to replace it, so be it.

My friend ordered me the iGear minibots and I shipped my POL with Nightbird from TFCon and am ordering the not-Insecticons and Stronghold and maybe the Blood upgrade for Bludgeon. Still, I had a good Christmas! Despite the bastards.
