18 - Members are discouraged from advertising, promoting or condoning illegal activity that specifically relates to Transformers. This includes such things as Counterfeit toys (Knock Offs), unauthorised copies of official media, and replica weapon toys (like Megatron) in states that prohibit them. If you intend to acquire illegal items, search for them off-site (like through google), or privately from a known source. This rule is to protect yourself from prosecution, and to prevent this site from being shut down for facilitating criminal activity. Minimal discussion or suggestive comments may be tolerated to a point, and the Staff or Admin are entitled to limit or terminate discussions & sourcing of illegal material, at any time. It is your responsibility to determine if ownership of replica weapon Transformers are legal in your state, and admitting to ownership is at your own risk.
It is also worth noting that some states "allow" ownership (as long as you don't take it out in public and cause alarm by the public), while other states designate ownership as an illegal act (no matter how privately owned or hidden it is). And in the middle, are states like NSW & QLD that apparently can obtain a permit for... but I never got around to finding out what government department issues them (or their requirements to obtain one).

So, my question: which character has had the most toys (just TFs and TFs & merch) made of them, Prime or Bumblebee?
Late last year I counted all the Optimus Primes TOYS in my collection (included gimmick and figurines) just out of curiosity to see how many Hasbro/TT have done over the last 27 years. I think I made it to the 200 mark... I might do a count of both this week some time to see which shelf-warmer reigns supreme. (Optimus had a head-start, because Bumblebee was only really used for Gen1 and since the Movie... but it's since 2007 (thanks to the Movies) that Bbee has been over-populating our store shelves and collections)
