2012 - How many TF's did you get, which were your rarest & fav's?

[liegeprime]

Number of figures : 218 not counting the ones in my POL in BBTS right now.

Favorite: hmmm tough one coz the figure I like most is an unofficial one (Green Giant) and isnt counted, but among the valid I would say botcon runamuck and runabout.

Rarest: I wouldn't call it rare.... G1 Metalhawk.... mebbe count G1 Vroom in too considering its hard getting the figure.

Number I got this year: about 50.

Favourite acquisition(s): Masterpiece Grimlock, by far.

Rarest acquisition: probably Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. I paid more than a sane amount for him (which I don't regret at all).

It's been a good start to my collection. I started half-way through the year, so that averages to about a couple each week for the last 5 months. The only limit on my collecting at this point is lack of space to show them all off.

Number of Transformers I got this Year: At a guess 100 (CBFed counting them)

Favorite Acquisition/s of the Year: Tough call, love all the MPs i got but probably MP Sideswipe for sentimental reasons

Rarest I got this Year: G1 Trypticon or G1 Scorponok

[Skullcruncher]

Number I got this year: Don't care. As long as progress is being made.

Favourite acquisition(s): MyClone Thundercracker.

Rarest acquisition: White Ravage decoy.

Yeah, but are you using the UCM?

Don't you be mocking the UCM Mr!!

This is griffin's counting method. Basically anything that satisfies these four conditions count:
1) It's an official Transformers product
2) It is a toy product that is intended to be played with
3) If it is included with another toy, it must be intended to be a stand alone toy and isn't required to complete another figure
4) Must be in playable condition

Just in case this gets off-topic, I was joking. I think the UCM is a great way of comparing collection data year-to-year as long as people follow the agreed method of counting.

Carry on

1. How many TFs did I get this year? To be honest, and as someone else has already so eloquently put it, I CBFed counting them. I lack the room to bring them all out for a proper count anyways. If I was to guesstimate, I'd say about 100 maybe? I really don't know.

2 & 3. For me, my rarest TFs that I got this year also happen to be my faves:

G1 Megatron MISB and Botcon 2008 SG Megatron. Also of note is my 2012 SG Soundwave. I would also include my Botcon 2008 SG Starscream which I bought last month, but just got today so it just misses out for the 2012 list. Oh yeah, I also love my vintage KO Astro Magnum. I have so many other faves, but they are not as rare as the above.

My fave and most rare non-toy item also deserves a mention: an Artist Proof SDCC 6" Palisades Polystone statue of Megatron.

Why say KO Astro Magnum. It's real.

Why say KO Astro Magnum. It's real.

+1 QFT. Though technically speaking it's not a Transformer either. It's a legitimate pre-Transformer. But Shockwave has appeared in his Astro Magnum colours in legit Transformers artwork before...
