What did you get for Christmas(Hanuka, Kwanzaa, etc;...)?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I got:

-Beast Wars 10th anniversary Optimus Primal + Megatron 2-pack
-BW Rattrap
-BW video Airazor
-BW Quickstrike
-BW Rampage
-BW Transmetal 2 Megatron
-BW Neo Stampy
-BW Neo Hydra
-Unicron.com Golden disk set
-THS(Hybrid Style) 02 Convoy
-Car Robots God Magnus
-Universe Spychanger Camshaft
-Universe Spychanger Wheeljack

Damn I was spoiled this year. :D

5 ties of varying ridiculousness, mostly on the ridiculous side though :)
6 handkerchiefs
A Towelie towel (that didn't arrive in time...but I'll get it when I get back, apparently)
A Viz annual
A Transformers toothbrush
A Spanish phrasebook
A Spanish dictionary
A set of Queen Mother Russian dolls, which made me laugh more than anything else

It's been quite a haul, considering I'm half the world away.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

The English (and now dead) one - but there's like five of them that fit inside each other. Quite bizarre, but very amusing.

There's a themetoon one? This one transforms from a, uh, rectangular thing into a toothbrush, came in new movie packaging.

On a related note, I might have to treat myself to one of those real gear Laserbeaks I saw in the shops the other day...they are really sweet...but I'm also trying to stop myself from picking up movie Dreadwing, Swindle, and the other monocular movie 'Cons, as I think they really are the shiznit. Hmm...and add classics Grimlock and Ramjet to that list too, I saw them in the store the other day...must not splurge all my money on TFs while I'm here...

They're awesome.

I saw one in Woolies when I had no cash, didn't buy it. Couldn't find them anywhere. Spent loads on eBay to get one. So it's my fault that they're bloody everywhere now. :(

Oh yeah - I saw it on the shelf, shrugged, and had a rifle through the others on display. Eventually I turned the card around, saw the robot mode on the back and was reduced to wibbling fanboy immediately. They're about a tenner here, which is probably a bit pricey, but I think I can stretch to that.

I'm with Ob. I know something of you and you're not worthless. You're not responsible for what other people do, if they mistreat you that doesn't make you worthless, it's not your fault.

We're your friends, and we say you're not worthless :)

Nah a horrible person would never say they are, they would just carry on without a care.

Therefore you can't be.

But one thing I know is that when it comes to problems, these here Transfans are a great bunch.

Nothing wrong with venting it out, even to yourself or in a pm.

You are a person in your own right, you don't need someone else to justify your existence. Being by yourself, particularly right now, is a terrible experience. I know that myself. But it's not the end. I promise.
