I still have a few things to open, but...
Legend/Cyberverse Legion not had any legions but the RTS legends where all great. Favourite would be Prowl or maybe Megatron
Scout/Cyberverse Commander Guzzle or Powerglide
Cyberverse Action Set Megatron
Human Alliance Basic NA
Human Alliance Deluxe NA
Deluxe to much choice. Warpath....... nah, Actionmaster Thundercracker
Voyager Erm, bad year for voyagers almost tempted to say Botcon Galavatron because it came with AMTC, but Galvy has to many little flaws. Probably Grapple for not having anything particularly wrong with it.
Leader Did Leader Starscream come out this year? If yes, then the clear winner with Blades Prime trailing in second place otherwise Sentinel was pretty cool.
Larger ToyPurely because its the only larger toy I got this year MP Rodimus. Not as bad as many of its detractors claim (at least mine isn't) but horribly flawed QC and tolerances that dont tolerate seriously hamper what should have been a great toy.
Repaint AMTC, they didn't get it quite right, but I never really thought one would be even attempted
Exclusive *cough cough* AMTC therest of this years botcon was good, but AMTC come on. The custom class Minerva is also very very nice, still amazed they got so little grief on that one compared to last year.
KreonOnly got Prime and Jazz so far, Prime probably edges it.
Kreo Set Haven't opened Prime yet, but some of the modified version look good.
Other Merchandise Item My DOTM DVD FSDU because I can imagine how much fun I would have had in it if I was 5 or 6 years old.
Worst Toy Most disappointing might be a better term for mine, but Botcon Motormaster. 6 months on and the head still doesn't work. Runner up AMTC, those purple wings while not looking that bad make a bit of a mess of the rest of the lay out.

I got around to opening DOTM G2 Sideswipe and its making a strong case for a late victory in the best deluxe catagory and even best repaint. It's friggin great.
The AMTCs are huddled together throwing evil glances his way.

I'm not a Bayformer guy, but I like that repaint! Makes me want to dig out all my Spychangers.
Will post my best/worst a bit later.

Out of the categories that I purchooseled in last year:
Legend: G1 gun Megatron
Cyberverse Commander: Blackout
Deluxe: Oooooh tricky, gotta be Generations Kup, with Perceptor a close 2nd
Voyager: Got a few, but none blew me away once I got into them. Movie Shockwave is prob the best of the bunch.
Other toy: 3rd Party Bludgeon upgrade head and sword. He looks the business, baby!
Worst Toy: I don't dislike any of the TFs I've got last year, but I suppose I'd have to say I've really gone off the Movie toys after I got over an initial just-see-the-movie buzz. Many are very nice toys, but generaly I feel I'm moving away from the Bay-verse.
But generaly speaking, not a bad year!
