also, is this just an American thing, where mothers throw away/give away all their children's toys behind their backs?

It isn't just American, it is European too.

I don't know. I can tell you that my parents asked me before they got rid of my toys.

My parents didn't do anything with my stuff (American) unless I left it behind when I moved in with my then-fiance (now-wife). I had specific instructions for my Tub O' Transformers, though.

I lost my figure. I put on too much weight.

I had the same problem, but I had help finding it with the "No money to eat starvation diet" it worked wonders

J/K, althought I did lose 90 lbs when my wife and I went on Weight Watchers on-line.

Back to the topic: I lost G1 Streetwise's hood piece way back in the late 80's, at my parents old house, and it never did turn up.

My G1 Soundwave ran off with several of my Beast Wars figures including Air Razor, Scorponok, Claw Jaw, and Rampage.

armada minicon makeshift (dual rotor copter, like the ospreys in the fim). i bought him about 3 or 4 times, and each time he dissapeared.

Not just an american thing. I remenber my father telling me that his mother gave away all his comics ( First issue of Spiderman + many others that are now highly collectable ). needless to say he was very annoyed!!

Did you try looking in your car? Maybe the trunk?

Yup. My vehicle is completely empty. Searched every square inch of my condo. Nothing. Surely nobody would have stolen it. (It was a protoform, after all.)

It's no big loss, especially compared to a lot of the stories in this thread. It's just frustrating. Sorry to bring up such a sad topic, everyone!

I haven't lost a whole figure, although I do know my Dad got rid of my G1 Skids behind my back. I miss my Skids.

I HAVE lost parts of Transformers. The missles from my Energon Starscream and a energon chip are some of the most annoying.

Hmm, maybe when you payed for it, the cashier missed when trying to put it in the bag. Or what if it fell out of the bag and was left in the basket on the way to the car? I've had those things happen a cpl times to me.

[Pretender Skywarp]

Oh yeah, and my parents gave away all the TFs I had as a kid.

If we're counting those, then I lost a stackload.

I feel your pain....
