1 - What was the total number obtained for the year (roughly, if you don't know)?

Under 100, with a good portion of them Animated.

2 - What was your best acquisition for the year?

Very tough question. Don't think I can live without *most* of the purchases I made this year...

3 - What was your worst, or the thing you most regretted buying?

Interestingly, the Rescue Ratchet and Stealth Lockdown 3-packs.

4 - Most difficult item to find?

Animated Deluxe Wave 4 Swoop.

5 - Item you never found, but still want?

None from local retail.

6 - Were the Animated toys in general good or bad?

GOOD.

7 - Were the Classics 2.0/Universe 2.0 toys in general good or bad?

Legends = Awesome.
Deluxe = Ok.
Bigger than Deluxe = Bad (in general).

Henkei = Good.

8 - Were the rest of the Movie toys in general good or bad?

Was only interested in the Premiums/Metallics. They all look great, however QC (paint applications) continues to go downhill.

9 - Did you think the Encores this year were good or bad?

Good, with the big Transformers that we didn't think would have been reissued! Would have been perfect if we ever get Dinobots or Devastator. Come on HasTak!

10 - Did you think the Henkei was good or bad?

Good.

11 - Did you buy any non-transforming toys?

Not in 2008. I did not buy a single Robot Hero, but received a few as gifts from friends around Dec 07/Jan 08.

12 - Did you buy any officially licensed (non-toy) merchandise?

Comics, Books, DVDs and CDs.

13 - Did you buy the Animated DVDs?

Yes.

14 - Did you buy any of the Madman DVDs?

Victory.

15 - Did you import the Cybertron boxset?

No.

14 - Are there any trends in your buying that you noticed?

Waaay too many toys are being released every month. I'm less likely to buy a second of the same toy to keep MISB now.

15 - Are there any changes to your buying habits that you're hoping to make?

I would like to buy less (hahahaha), but if I can earn more money then I won't have to.

16 - What are you looking forward to most in 2009?

More Animated and TF2 movie toys.
