    I used to get TFs as gifts before I got a job, and basically bought all the ones I wanted with my own money. I can remember birthdays and Christmasses (?) where I would create a list of the figures that I was particularly after at the time and/or all the ones I had already. After Cybertron though, I had enough money to buy all the figures myself.

    I'm sure many kids are getting TFs for gifts this year. Some of the store racks are emptying in the last days before Xmas and I've seen many a parent carrying TF toys in the past few weeks.

    I get them from my wife all the time. I find something I'm after, buy it then say "look what you bought me"

    I don't think I would want to receive any to be honest.

    Unless someone knew I was looking for X transformer I would be left deflated especially when they would go to effort to find one that is "cool".

    *sigh* the hubby refuses to buy me any TFs or LEGO! Mum entertains me sometimes by getting me TF stuff but not toys. They are like key chains, stickers or iron-ons etc.

    I got Bro (Icy) some TFs for Xmas but I did call him and ask him instead, cause I didn't wanna get something he already has! But I was quite sure he didn't have the DOTM key chain and some choco puzzle from here.

    My family doubt themselves in buying things that I will actually want, they think they will buy something I'm not interested in and I feel they would do it as well. Now they just give me money and I go out and buy what comics and figures I want. This is the first year I've done this (mind you I wasn't interested in comics and figures before this year) although if someone was to buy me a transformer I would be ecstatic regardless what figure since it would be further expanding my collection

    Well im having my family Annual Gift tree day thing tomorrow! And I know my Lovely wife has a Shattered Glass Prime and Diaclone Swoop all wrapped up under the tree.

    Its always hard this time of year. I just tend to get it all for myself. The only chance my wife has is getting odd TFs online.

    Cat has got me a whole range of TF books: 3 big volumes of IDW collections, and the long wanted Exodus. Plus a single trade and a Kreo that wasn't technically for Xmas but ended up for Xmas. My luggage will overweight for sure.

    And for Xmas I got him...stuff that's non TF related...

    Well, my family is spending holidays here in Aus for the first time. My mom bought me a TF shirt (official licensed) since she knows I have quite a lot already so that breaks the record of me not receiving TF for gifts hehehe.

    Yesterday I received a big Ikea present.. yep, a Detolf. Now some of my prized figures (and my hobby) can remain out for all to see.

    Mental note: Must get more prized figures
