What is YOUR acquisition of the year?

I still have not decided and am internally struggling as to what mine will be, as can be seen here.

What is your acquisition of the year?

[Sky Shadow]

I don't think you should be "internally struggling" on your own acquisition of the year, HD - after a quarter of a century you finally have the carded Ravage and Rumble you've always wanted.

Mine (unless I get my even holier holy grail in the post today) was White Lio Junior:

either Fort Max or my Japanese Menasor Giftset

My best is a tie between my mib g1 optimus prime and mib japanese stepper both are mint and stunning.

Wow, now that it's December 31st - looking back over the year and the sheer volume of figures I've acquired, this is actually a really hard question.
It's so hard I can't really decide on which one definitively, so I'll put down my top 5, ranked 1 to 5, if that's ok?

1. G1 Original Omega Supreme - He's complete, unbroken, still works and is a favourite because he was my 25th Birthday present from my parents, he's so iconic and this figure is as old as I am.

2. G1 Scorponok - My first Headmaster and bought from a best mate - his scale is just huge and as a Decepticon and a base, he is just so full of awesomesauce he easily makes this list.

3. G1 Micromaster Anti-Aircraft Base - This set has a lot of sentimental value to me as this set was a re-acquisition of the first Transformers I ever received in my life, courtesy of my late Grandfather, bringing back a lot of memories.

4. 2010 Reissue Predaking - The best way I can describe the feeling of what it was like to receive the Predacons and open them up is that it made me feel like I was a kid again, a feeling that hasn't surfaced since acquiring G1 Megatron a couple of years ago - This Gestalt, apart from being brand new and complete, is just 'wildly' cool in so many ways.

5. Masterpiece MP-05 Megatron - Aside from MP-04 Optimus and the Upcoming MP-09 Rodimus, nothing says 'Quintessential Example of Transforming Toy Perfection' as this figure - I had always wanted one after hearing about him and especially after seeing 1AZRAEL1's example, though I never thought I'd ever find one or afford one, you know you are a collector that has achieved something special when you manage to acquire this beauty.

Just had a look through all the pictures of the things I have received this year, and it was a bit of a disapointing year really -- only 1 vintage piece in all the horrible amounts of spending I did (from September onwards)

My acquistion of the year is the Sealed Japanese G2 Megatron Tank (the hero version)

Everything else is nice and wanted .. but sorta meh when you go back and look at what you got.

Do I need to make 2011 the year of more vintage?

oooh... its too tough to choose just one. too many acquisitions to choose from.
My top 3 perhaps?

1) Grand Maximus
2) Blue Bacchus
3) Black Shadow

damn.. its really strange looking back on what i have bought over the last year. It reminded me of all the ups and downs.
i remember having to sell stuff off to pay for Grand max and other TFs that i went crazy on that month.
Grand max is awesome, but then at one stage, i was even thinking about selling him as well just to cover for life's unexpected expenses that sorta hits you all at once! Theres always at least one of those sh*tty periods in a year.
Thankfully i managed to push past the bad and still keep him, but fark... i cant believe that i went through one year already!

oh well....Bring on TF 2011!
