    Hey, grass is always greener elsewhere, isn't it I only got 40 or so, but very happy with all of them because they were mostly classics and alts - two kind of transformers I really liked

    2 - Best: MP Starscream
    3 - Worst: Classics Ramjet for having very loose hips
    4 - Most difficult: Alt. Rodimus
    5 - Still want: Alt Shockblast
    6 - Movie toys: Couldn't afford 'em
    7 - Real Gear toys: Good. In general.
    8 - Classics toys: Deluxe toys and above all great with one or two exceptions but none truly bad!
    9 - Japanese TFs: Not sure, but the discontinuation of alts and minimal classics appearing seems a loss?
    10 - Non-transforming toys: A viewmaster, so my niece would stop using my original one
    11 - Officially licensed merchandise: TF Monopoly and chess
    12 - Buy the Movie: No. I rarely buy movies at all though.
    13 - In 2008: More new Transformers animated! The first season is off to a decent start...

    (O_O) You've acquired 700 Transformers in the last 12 months?!? On average that's nearly 2 (1.92 to be precise) Transformers for every day of the year! *speechless*

    1. Total Number: 84 that I've kept (a few others were refunded or passed on to others)

    2. Best Acquisition: Classics Jetfire as it grew my desires beyond the movie line and I think I have a non-sexual crush on the figure. I'm sure some might argue it was my recent $40 Fort Max.

    3. Worst Acquisition: Leader Brawl... which has been returned, so might not count. Voyager Megatron is next.

    4. Most difficult item to find: I didn't have too much trouble finding anything I wanted, but finding a fairly priced Classics Starscream was a pain in the ass.

    5. Never Found but Want: Botcon 2007 Games of Deception - found it, but just not at an acceptable price relative to the amount of money I had at the time.

    6. Movie Toys: good, but deteriorating

    7. Real Gear Toys: don't know

    8. Classics: good, and hopefully getting better!

    9. Japanese Toys: don't know

    10. Non-Transforming toys. No.

    11. Licensed Merchandise: No, but some was given to me.

    12. No

    13. Classics 2.0

    1. Total Number: ~250 (essentially all that i have bar 6 or so figs)

    2. Best Acquisition: Legends Whirl & Evac - best toy mould out there :P

    3. Worst Acquisition: probably b/bee unleashed (returned it today) - though not a tf, i also erred in getting a KO mini Menasor, which has now been dutifully mangled by my protege cousin

    4. Most difficult item to find: TBH it would have been TRU Soundwave, didnt like me that toy

    5. Never Found but Want: Botcon 2007 Games of Deception - found it, but just not at an acceptable price relative to the amount of money I had at the time.

    6. Movie Toys: movie cast were great, but there are too many crap extras/repaints now

    7. Real Gear Toys: good, but not to the point where repaints are worth buying

    8. Classics: awesome, and i will be recollecting these (ty takara releases)!

    9. Japanese Toys: no idea

    10. Non-Transforming toys: Helmet, all the G1 robot heroes, custom G1 Quintesson prosecutor, all my 3" titaniums, one Attactix pack.

    11. Licensed Merchandise: blow up punching bag, complete set of movie trading cards from a toy fair, old 80s catalogue, 86 movie, 86 music cd, 07 movie score, TF Monopoly.

    12. Movie on DVD: Yes - transforming case

    13. Classics 2.0, and knowing that as they dont come out for a long while i will be able to save some money

    Aside from Fortress Maximus, my other G1 landmarks were F-1 Powerdasher and Camshaft - completing my Omnibot and Powerdasher collections! (now the only G1 mail-away I don't have is, that's right, effing Time Warrior!!)
