    Default Have u ever rejected a TF?

    My missus had a surprise for me today. She was teasing me and teasing me and telling me to lie down on her bed. I was like why. This is so suspicious. I did lie down and then there was something beneath the pillow and what did I find? Universe Octane! Turns out she picked it up at K-Mart yesterday and she knew this was "G1" so grabbed it for me on sale.

    I told her probably better to refund it since it wasn't a great deal. I feel kinda bad but I've been like that in the past on other gifts she'd gotten for me and I had to be consistent. (or else it'd come up another time and then she'll start on her "Oh it's okay for TFs but not for clothes" rant. But I did feel kinda bad

    I've never received a TF as a suprise gift so I can't say that I have...

    Then again, Non-TF People don't know which TFs we want to acquire so to them - A transformer is a transformer...

    as long as it has the header "Transformers" (eg. Marvel, SW, Movie/Allspark, TFA, Universe), They assume we'd like it so they buy it for us (I guess it's the thought that counts )

    As a gift? No. At bargain prices, yes.

    You rejected the gift on the basis of its price?

    It wasn't a gift. She's hunting with me often enough and she's seen the Universe Packaging from when I got Sunstreaker and Prowl (and was like a little kid about it) so she often grabs me stuff. I guess u could call it a gift but its one of those things where u just do it for each other as convenience/being thoughtful.

    And here I thought of something else

    Or maybe I am just messed up...

    back on topic, I recieved a Cybertron figure for my 18th, forgot what his name was but he sits under my bed now, so I guess I can say yes.

    I think it's incredibly rude to reject gifts... my wife once got me a copy of Transformers Devastation (can't remember the exact issue) and at the time she didn't realise that I have a standing order with my comic store (I've had that standing order since G1!!). So of course, I ended up with a double of that issue (I'm gonna give my double to mel as soon as I can get off my butt and mail it to her ).

    About 10 years ago a mate of mine bought me Transmetal Tarantulas. I already had it, so I repainted it as "Vok Hunter Tarantulas" (note this was well before the "official" Fox!Kids repaint came out). Most doubles I get as gifts I keep mint in package and display them that way. I have a MOSC Energon Perceptor and Armada Sideswipe - both gifts of figures I already had, so I just display them sealed.

    But uh... yeah. I'd keep it. *shrug*
