    Nope, I meant what I meant... I still can't believe I actually paid $96 (shipped) for a Transformer.

    Here's more of You Might Be a TF Geek ifs... that is, if nobody has done them up yet.

    You might be a TF Geek... if your TF figures double as your Christmas tree ornaments.

    You might be a TF Geek... if you believe your own vehicle is a Transformer, and you try to get him/her to transform into robot mode.

    You might be a TF Geek... if you whistle the Transformer theme while you work.

    When you frequent up to 10 TF forums.

    When you painstakingly create glorious, full-color TF comics that last up to about 100 pages or more. Or a big oil-painting portrait of your favorite TF that takes months to years to do.

    When you repaint your toys to make them look even better than ever.

    When you daydream about buying an old VW Beetle that looks just like Bumblebee in car mode and put an Autobot insignia on its hood - and grumble when that kind of VW model is no longer built.

    And worst of all...when you FALL into love with a Transformer character!:tongue:

    Have 1 and 3 covered, Plus 2 more

    TF Geek when you buy a crappy figure mold 4 different times becuase each is a different character. Done this numerous times over the years.

    TF Geek when you buy books that are barely related to Transformers.

    Latest purchase, a very funny book titled "How to Survive a Robot Uprising". (The cover bears a bot that looks to be a cross between Optimus Prime and Soundwave.

    You're a TF geek when...

    Instead of staring at all the hot chicks in your class, you make a list of all the TFs you're missing to complete your G1 collection. :(

    Well it does solve the problem of ornament storage during the rest of the year...and I always liked toys on my tree anyway. I even bought Tiny Tins with this purpose in mind.

    You're having a horrible day and you actually start trying in vain to open your chest with your fingers to use the Matrix.

    When you buy transformers misc stuff that does'nt transform. Like my Optimus Sucker pop and my Megatron head knocker.

    Or when you cant wait for your baby to start walking so it can battle Fort Max

    ...and everything else already mentioned
