1. How many TFs did I get this year? To be honest, and as someone else has already so eloquently put it, I CBFed counting them. I lack the room to bring them all out for a proper count anyways. If I was to guesstimate, I'd say about 100 maybe? I really don't know.

2 & 3. For me, my rarest TFs that I got this year also happen to be my faves:

G1 Megatron MISB and Botcon 2008 SG Megatron. Also of note is my 2012 SG Soundwave. I would also include my Botcon 2008 SG Starscream which I bought last month, but just got today so it just misses out for the 2012 list. Oh yeah, I also love my vintage KO Astro Magnum. I have so many other faves, but they are not as rare as the above.

My fave and most rare non-toy item also deserves a mention: an Artist Proof SDCC 6" Palisades Polystone statue of Megatron.
