Jetfire and Devastator were the only ones I opened and am really glad I took my time with them individually. When I get a 'haul' it feels like I'm at a sloppy buffet with no time and too much hunger.
I bought Leader Prime last month and for a while he was the only TF I had in my apartment. I can really appreciate the intricate design and the enginuity that much more when I can actually stop and marvel at the way all the kibble comes together so easily.
Now that I got Alt Rodimus, I definitely plan on transforming him while I enjoy all the minutia of his design. I might not even purchase 08 BB, seeing as how this method of collecting has given me my fill of car bots for a while, and save for Hasbro's MP-03. |

I believe actually will do the same for me. I normally buy thing in bulk.  
"No, I don't think its big enough!", I said, "Another few hundred more and I'm set".

First day (June 2nd that is) I picked up Barricade and Bonecrusher. Picked up Ironhide the next week. Got Blackout sometime the week after I believe. Got Starscream the next weekend. Got Leader Prime a couple weeks in. Picked up Ratchet fairly late in the game. I think the only time I actually really went all out on a haul was the week of/after my birthday where I picked up a fair few deluxes (still missing some)...and I haven't bought any since really.
Still have some I want/plan to get (either aren't out or can't find them)...and there are defintely some that I want that will not be out for quite a while.  NGW on Steam |

Until today, when I bought Classics Prime and three Real Gears. Now that I've bought all the TFs I want, it's great to give my wallet a rest until October or whenever the hell we're gonna see new toys. |

The only thing that's bothering me is if my dad will let me get Ultimate BB, since I already told him I don't want him, lol. http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/wutevs when i earn one, you earn one |

UBB also seems more accurate to me, the cannon arm isn't that long, the face, forearms, etc http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/wutevs when i earn one, you earn one |

I love the movie toys. I've been to 8 stores, walmarts and targets and nothing. I have yet to check a toys r us. Texas is terrible with TF apparently.
Hasbro plz give us a Leader Class Blackout/Grindor!

1) The transformation is just....bad.
2) It is one huge giant electronic gimmick (that takes a lot away from the toy aspect of it), which really pisses me off since the only gimmick I really have ever taken a shine to is automorph
3) The cheap look to it, coupled with the massive price tag (which is mostly due to the electronics)
4) He fucking sings and dances -_-
There are definitely some things I like about it...but nothing enough to climb over them hurdles.  NGW on Steam |

Collection Count: 1267 News Credits: 1 | I'm glad that the delay isn't bothering everybody and I agree that when too many come out together, it doesn't give you enough time to enjoy them. But DAAAAAAMN, I need my fix baaaaaaad!!!!! I haven't even been able to find Scout Strongarm in my area, not to mention anything that came after him like Voyager Megatron or Deluxe Concept Camaro Bumblebee or Deluxe Arcee or Deluxe Dreadwing or Leader Brawl, etc. I need my plastic crack now!!! ; ) Samuel L.
