I didn't read that so much as being the 11th greatest toy as I did it being the best boy toy. I noticed there were 2 girl toy categories. So...was there a 2nd boy toy category?

If I read the article correctly, then the award spesifically goes to "Transformers Movie Deluxe Figures". so the 2nd boy toy category must be "Masterpiece Starscream :Hasbro version" :grin: , although he must be in the first spot.

The thing that most sets the TF apart from all these other award winning toys is what is said right at the end of the descriptor:

The Transformers are also collectibles.

(sounding like Elvis) Thank you....Thank you very much!

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

If the toys I have purchased are any indication, the judges must have been blind!

The movie toys were garbage, I ended up returning at least 75% of them all because of either poor quality or factory defects. I am surprised it made it that far up any list.

Maybe in your opinion, but how many kids that played with these toys really cared? Most of them are of the age that they are going to throw them around and ram them into each other anyways so they kinda expect parts to pop off and be loose.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Does #5 seem like a really bad idea to anyone else? An infant/preschool toy thats a bunch of bright tasty looking sand?

I think it's freakin awesome 1st place in the boys category! :APPLAUSE: I don't think it's really 11th place. Different categories for ages, gender and types of toys.
