    None --yet--. I have a feeling my brother's girlfriend (who lives with us) is going to get me something though.

    her: :3 what do you want for Christmas?
    me: dude you don't have to get me anything...
    her: 8D Your brother and I are going to TRUs for your gift.
    me: c__c eee.


    Thats so sweet that your sister did that for you. Hee hee.

    Hands down it was Christmas 1984. I got G1 Optimus Prime. I can still remember opening the package and delicately applying all the stickers. I still have this Prime, and he's displayed on my desk. :D 

    2nd Place would probably be Jazz followed closely by the Dinobots. (I got Grimlock, Slag, and Sludge all at the same time)

    the OTHER best TF gift I ever received :)  was a few years back. A friend of mine from Japan with whom I trade a lot of TF toys gave me a mildly-used Victory Leo.

    When I was a kid, after the movie came out, it was shown on tv with that little kid talking to Optimus. Well it was on a sunday and my mom came in the room and made us all leave. She recorded it without me even knowing it was on. She had seen the tv listing in the paper earlier in the week and decided to make a gift of it. She sat there with the tv off and vcr recording the whole time to make sure that me or my bro's didn't come in and spoil it. She ripped the listing out of the paper so we couldn't find out that way either. We didn't know what she recorded or for whom. But Christmas morning I got the videotape for one of my gifts. Why didn't she just buy the actual real video? I'll never know, but I watched that tape so many times over the next decade that by the time amazon.com came to be the tape was so worn out it was horrible when compared to the new one I bought.
    Flash forward another 5-6 years and my wife gave me the movie on dvd and it was the first time she'd ever given me a gift that was a totally happy birthday surprise.

    Never received any, either due to me only getting into TF toys this year or due to the fact that I rarely get gifts anyway...

    EDIT: Now that I think about it, I guess I got my parents to buy me a BW Basic back then when they were out, Terrorsaur which is my first TF. I didn't really buy anymore after that till the 2007 movie though, but I bought them all myself...

    Dad: "Put it in the buggy."

    I NEVER got Transformers growing up since I came from a relatively poor family (which is why I value my education and job so much now) so I probably got three Transformers throughout my whole childhood but one of them was very special to me. My Grandmother bought me Grimlock as a kid and I played with that thing for HOURS. The reason why it is so special is not because it was what I wanted but because she died soon after so it was one of the last gifts I ever got from her. I wish I still had that toy but I still have fond memories of it and it is why I am probably still interested in Transformers today.

    Best gift, that is a easy choice.

    I hade a birthday around the time I was 7-8 and dad came home with two big boxes and I was like WOW what is in those are they for me. I ripped the smaller one first only to find Galvatron...man he looked so awesome in his box but no time for open him up but I sat him nicely on a shelf and threw myseklf on the big box..my eyes glared like a shooting star when I saw it was a Scorpenok....It dident took long untill I hade both figs out of the boxes and stickers applied and starting to play. Man that was a great day...but today if I could go back in time I would say ...leave them MISB. ;) 

    another great time was when mom and I was a EKohallen the best store for TFs in my city in the 80andf early 90s. hade everything except MAX. Anyway I saw PM OP and fell in love. Mom dident have money but said if it was still there next week I would get it..it was the last one. But I was so sure that it would be gone and mom said well hide it ..so she lookedout in the aile and there was no ppl and told me to place it under the wall. So I did.. :D  Next week we went back and she was on the look out again while I bend down and reached in for it and sure enough there he still was. We went and payed for it and mn I loved him. Now that is how mom should do all the time :D 

    God rest her shoul :(
