On a recent trip to my local Toys R Us store, my stepson and I decided to spread the Holiday cheer and give the best gift a child can get, Transformers!

Here's my stepson outside our local TRU sporting a Seibertron.com cap

I think he's checking out a girl in line in this shot.

This small investment will go a long way for some kids. Even GI Joe rocks it out.

These next ones are so the "Pics or it never happened" theories are laid to rest.

Mission Accomplished!

This is just a reminder that even more kids will need our help this holiday season, and it won't hurt to go out and give those kids the things we hold so dear to ourselves.

Happy Holidays Seibertronians!

That was great. How cool would it be to organize something like that on a national level; TransFans all over the nation (wearing Transformers T-shirts to represent) giving figures in to T4Ts... the Seibertron.com family could lead the charge, even spreading it to Canada.

I've been giving the money, but there is something very satisfying about putting actual toys in the container.

My wife and I usually support the local radio station's stuff a bus when they do it soon.

Nice, somebody through in as close as they could get to G1 goodness... the KO Aerialbots. Somebody will enjoy those a lot!!!

I haven't done my yearly add to my store's Toys for Tots box yet but Transformers are always well represented.

I will post some pics when I do.

I love those KO Aerialbots, especially how the one plane's wing says "ASU"

You know, I felt like a complete jerk donating KO Superion and mini Devastator and Lio Convoy, thinking the kids who get them will be so upset if they break easy. But money is real short for me lately and I couldn't afford more TF's. I haven't even bought all my own kids stuff.

Thanks for making me feel better about them though guys.

Toys are toys. I think anyone who gets them will be happy to get them. Some collector may see them and try to make a 'trade' for them. I certainly would not feel badly about that.
