    Meet the next generation of Transformer fans:

    Connor,with his pride and joy Optimus:

    I bought Prime in Jacksonville, and Connor wouldn't let go of the box untill we got home, and that was only so I could open it for him. He rode for almost 2 hours hugging that box, he had lunch with it in his lap, he fell asleep hugging the box on the way home. Like I said, he was happy to get Prime...

    And Alex:
    He got Ratchet from Jacksonville, (both toys were a reward for behaving while Daddy drove all over Northern Florida looking for Superion) and he was every bit as happy as his brother was. It's the last thing he lets go of at night, and the first thing he wants in the morning. I love the irony that my son's first real Transformer is an update of MY first Transformer.

    here's Alex hanging out with the Animated crew....

    Edit: Feel free to add your own pics, I'd like to see how we are all contributing to the continuance of the fanbase!!!

    Will add pics later, my son is as big of a nut as i am.

    I remember when he was 3 or 4 I found my old G2 bumblebee and I showed it to him, he wouldn't stop playing with it for weeks, he was fascinated by a robot thats a car...and to this day he has it on his little desk in his room, and BB is still his favorite :p

    He's got the whole TFA cast there, great job getting him off to a good start. :D 

    Thought about giving him the Unicron Accessory Set #6 for him?

    I got a girl. She's not interested in the TF's. But she keeps it in the Hasbro family with My Little Pony. Can't wait to have a boy so theres not as much estrogen around here. and good job! Get em hooked early!

    My son today after our hunt.
    [​IMG]

    Went to 2 Wal-Marts with the TrU for a price match and we each walked out with a Wheelie and Chromia. Saw Smokescreen and Brawl but told my wife I wouldn't get any repaints of ones I have. Also saw the darker Sideways, might have to finally get him.

    Don't have any kids of my own, but my sig is of my nephew about two years ago when I gave him a Target TFTM Optimus Prime gift card. He was only about 1 and got crazy excited when he figured out that you can make the head pop up by pushing a button! :)
