1 - What was the total number obtained for the year (roughly, if you don't know)?
err ... pretty much everything that was released at retail, and a few older figures I was chasing up. So I have no idea really.

2 - What was your best acquisition for the year?
I can't remember what I got anyway!

3 - What was your worst, or the thing you most regretted buying?
Animated Snarl. I was dealing with BBTS when the dollar was up and didn't know about "Pile of Loot". They shipped him seperately, the dollar crashed ... $45 he pretty much cost me.

4 - Most difficult item to find?
Universe Silverbolt. Only saw him once and it vanished when I went to get him the next time only to reappear a few weeks later.

5 - Item you never found, but still want?
Animated Swoop

6 - Were the Animated toys in general good or bad?
Bad. I just can't get use to the misproportions and roundness.

7 - Were the Classics 2.0/Universe 2.0 toys in general good or bad?
GOOD! (Though I did go Henkei for most of them)

8 - Were the rest of the Movie toys in general good or bad?
Good, though I didn't pick up any of the repaints.

9 - Did you think the Encores this year were good or bad?
Good, but I only got Sky Lynx, had all the others.

GOOD! (Aside from the price)

Noooooooooooooooooo

12 - Did you buy any officially licensed (non-toy) merchandise?
Only City Commander.

13 - Did you buy the Animated DVDs?
Yes, though my nephew has stolen them.

14 - Did you buy any of the Madman DVDs?
Yes.

15 - Did you import the Cybertron boxset?
No.

14 - Are there any trends in your buying that you noticed?
I think i've become more selective. Plus my G1 buying has slowed down because I nearly have them all.

15 - Are there any changes to your buying habits that you're hoping to make?
I'll still plod along and just grab things when they pop up.

16 - What are you looking forward to most in 2009?
The movie and it's line, plus more Classics.
