Me neither usually. But this year I am because a bunch of stores are selling the ones I want locally, plus I've found websites with good deals (examples: kmart.com, bigbadtoystore.com). So this year it is easy for the family to find them for me.

As much as I like Transformers, it's rare that I want one of the toys. But this year,

- A second Bombshock + drones.
- Steelshot. (So I can have Bombshock with the missle limbs and Steelshot with the gun limbs)
- Unicron
- Primus
- And a Christmas miracle of a Serpentor Prime toy being made

Oh, silly me. I forgot to add what I wanted.

Let's just say a huge pile of assorted Revenge of the Fallen and Animated figures. List is way too big. Although the top ones on the list would be Grindor, Shockwave/Longarm Prime, Brawn, and voyager movie Ironhide.

Leader Starscream, ROTF Leader Optimus (I asked for him and Jetfire last year, and only got Jetfire.), HFTD Bumblebee, Ironhide, WFC Soundwave, HA Barricade, HA Jazz (I used to have him.), Generation Thunderwing (if hes out.) And thats it for TFs. Last year, I got nothing compared to what I usually get.

I'm making my list right now. I told my parents to go by EXACT NAME. I go as far as breaking them down into series/line and then into class on my list. I even use the exact name on the package. Also, if the figure/set is an exclusive to a certain store, make sure you put that down to. Add websites that carry Transformers, too. If tu familia no comprenden, then they have no brains and you are hopeless.

Oh yeah, thats what I do. If its a Toys R Us exclusive, be sure to write that down! Write down, Animated, Revenge of The Fallen, Hunt for The Decepticons, Generations, whatever! Never abriviate! Always write down the exact phrase! Write Voyager, Delux, Leader, whatever. What ever it is write it down. The model # information, the weight of the fig, the colors and everything.

Yep, right on Sly. I usually don't do weight, model number, or colors, but I save the packages on some figures then I show them to my parents so they know what to look for.

Oh my gosh that was my idea a few weeks ago! I may do that after I finish my stupid essay project. That's a good idea because you don't have to erase stuff and add stuff over and over again when you change your mind. Much easier and practical.

I find it easiest to just make my Xmas list through Amazon.com, so that people can only buy exactly what I want.

Yeah you can find some good deals on Amazon. You can find some good prices on older stuff that Amazon stocks themselves, becuase they have no idea what the slag they're selling.

I'm pretty caught up on all the current stuff, I only need Leader Starscream and Highbrow. I don't expect Reveal The Shield to start showing up until next year, so that's about it for me I think.

Mon Nov 08, 2010 1:10 pm

Will absolutely be getting the Protector armor for my self.
And that Predaking reissue.

From Family- I'll be lucky if my mom even buys me a Rpm or FAB...which I'll return or sell. She hates my transformer collecting and doesn't like buying them for me.

Though I can expect to get at least one TF from a friend... though most of them will expect me to buy them Marijuana as their gifts...

For me it's my dad that gives me all that crap. Yet he gets to buy a sports car he can't afford and a gym and a weight bench that he never uses? Yeah. They all have something they can't justify.
:lol:

Marijuana

I also include the total price at the bottom of the list, just so they know what to expect. And if it's too much, I just erase somhing that isnt as important.

I don't do that. Then they won't get me anything. Unfortunately, when I decided to change my mind, it was after my mom when TF shopping at Tuesday Morning.
I think this calls for a new thread on Christmas list advice.

Mon Nov 08, 2010 9:43 pm

I went out and bought myself Generations Cybertronian Optimus today. It's awesome, but I really don't want to try transforming it again, so I've added a second to my Xmas list to have one in each mode. Also Cybertronian Megatron because how can I have one without the other?

Oh yeah, those. I'm getting Predaking for my birthday (which was last week), and buying Protector for myself, thus I didn't count them for Christmas.

You gotta be freaking kidding me. And how many times exactly did you attempt transformation?

It's not that transforming it was difficult. Just a little too long to be fun.

I also want the War Axe for my Optimus.

The FP Protector and Sidearm are coming to me regardless, so I'm not real concerned when the actual release date is. Those guys, in my opinion, do such an awesome job, it's worth the wait.

Did you see the complimentary parts made to protect the original Predaking wings?
