    I can't believe he gave up all his toys to charity!!! That is a far bigger thing than if any one person here had won those figures. Girl, you know it's true.

    He's got the touch! He's got the pow-wah!! Yeah!!! (Fixed. XD)

    But great on this kid! Such an inspirational story and a real class act! Makes my lone Bumblebee figure donation to Toys For Tots this past Christmas seem pale by comparison. I gotta step up my donation game, dawg!


    Ditto! (And I'd rather tool around in Barricade than Bee, blaring the siren. XD)

    Yes, he needs the Autobrand. Maybe his parents could sign a waiver.

    Not to be a downer, but his parents probably said, "You don't have space for those toys/You don't need all those." If it was the kids idea that is great. he still seems like a nice boy. So cool!

    I entered this contest every day. I was bummed when I didn't win. But now that I see who won, I am happy for him. Congratulations Elijah!

    I think it's very cool that he donated his toys to needy children.

    I did this years ago with my transformers and Ninja turtles collections when I was a kid for a family that had it's house burn down a week before christmas. Though I regret the collection loss, I sure as hell know the kids loved it

    If you recall, there was this other kid who won some "Biggest Transformers Fan" award thingy awhile back. But then you saw how much stuff his parents bought him in the last couple years, regardless of whether he was a good kid or not, you didn't really have a high opinion of him.

    Now this Elijah kid. Whatever the circumstances, the fact that he's given all this stuff away, that's a good deed, and as such, he's a cool kid. Keep on truckin' Elijah.

    This young man was a much better kid than I was when I was his age! If I had been given $1,000 at that age, every single transformer available at any given store would have been MINE!

    This guy is Awesome.

    My faith in humanity is restored. This kid is awesome. Most 9 year old I know are extremely spoiled and already have boyfriend/girlfriends. Hell on Facebook their relationship status says: It's complicated. WTF? They're little kids!
