Collecting - Your Favourite Year

[Vector Prime]

2009 was the year for me - mainly for a few reasons:

~ 25th anniversary of Transformers
~ Watching ROTF and it subsequently re-igniting my interests in TFs
~ ROTF showing me how much I disliked Movie-verse bot designs and making me want to revisit 'classic designs' (Universe/Henkei)
~ Rekindling my childhood and buying TF toys again after a 20+ yr hiatus
~ Joining OTCA (never imagined I would join a forum 'discussing toys' )
~ Buying 200+ TFs in the second half of the year (as a result of the above)

Hard for me to pinpoint a year really.

2003, because I started collecting Transformers again
2006, the convention was that year I think?
2008, Classics got me back into heavy collecting
2010, Finally got the figure I always wanted, "and the answer is Unicron"

2009. rotf gave me a chance to begin my collection on a large scale and i loved every figure that was released

2006, the convention was that year I think?

Yeah that was OzToyCon at King Street Wharf.

For me it would be 2004. I'd been buying tfs sporadically for years but this was the year i started buying regularly with Energon. The stores always had something to buy and my collection grew rapidly.

The other year would be 2010 when I met someone who not only appreciated my passion but also takes a lot of interest and surprises me with new ones on occasion.

Yeah that was OzToyCon at King Street Wharf.

Yep that was the one.

Incidentally, my mate who I was there with, has a video of the event. I forgot to grab it off him when I was there last. I might try and visit him this Friday and get it off him and bring it on Saturday.

Upon further reminiscing, I'm going to revise my answer to 1986. I had been watching the combiner teams on the cartoon and imagined how awesome it would be if they ever came out as toys, and then they did.

Either 2004 for getting Predaking and getting back into TFs, or this year 'cos I've just picked up so many awesome TFs.
