Well, that's 2015 done with. I'm holding around 46 or so. (I'd be more precise but I have vodka.) I'm just grateful that there's nothing interesting planned for 2016.

[Baron B of Triple B]

Wow. That's an impressive start. So far I'm at 3 pre-ordered.

MP Ultra Magnus.
MP Shockwave.
MP Hot Rod.

[Llama God]

Hurrah! I accidentally started a new thread.

Right then. What am I *actually* after this year? Not that much right now, but I'm sure that'll change come ToyFair. So far, and in no particular order, it's:

Sky-Lynx
Rewind
Powermaster Optimus Prime
Fortress Maximus
Masterpiece Optimus Primal
Masterpiece Ratchet, Marvel Comics Colours (unannounced, but I'm hoping!)
TR Galvatron
TR Nightbeat
Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron

Well that's not too many. Only 10. And close to a grand spent. At just over twelve hours into the year.

Primus wept.

[Baron B of Triple B]

I will also definitely be getting Sky Lynx, TR Blaster, TR Trypticon dependant on price, CW Wave 5, CHUG Skywarp, G1 Slag, G1 Swoop and CW Victorion Torchbearers giftset.

I'm swithering on MP Ratchet and Ironhide, will probably end up getting them.

[The Doctor]

Um none, because it is only mid day on Jan 1st. Though I may pick up a CW autobot car or two from Sainsburgeries tomorrow if I can run the budget to make it happen. Or leave it to payday.

[Llama God]

Damn. Also forgot I'm planning to get Legends Shockwave. How could I forget that?

Whatever the case though, since New Year means new mortgage rate, I haven't actually pre-ordered anything yet. Because, ow.

[Philip Ayres]

If we're talking "Planning to get" can I have the following, for which no preorders exist, taken into account?

36 G2 Brawl
37 G2 Swindle
38 G2 Blast Off
39 G2 Vortex
40 G2 Onslaught
41 G2 Shockwave

42 Terribull
43 Nightbeat
44 Crashbash
45 Loudmouth

46 Rewind
47 Stripes
48 Wreck-Gar

49 Ravage
50 Rumble
51 Wheelie

52 Hardhead with Furos
53 Skullsmasher with Grax
54 ? Deluxe #3 ?
55 ? Blurr

56 Galvatron with Megatron/Nucleon
57 Sentinel Prime with Infinity

58 Blaster with Twincast
59 Powermaster Optimus Prime
60 Soundwave

61 Fortress Maximus

61. And it's the first of January.

[Philip Ayres]

Blast, I'd left some toys off the preordered list. I'll edit them in but in brings the totals to 40 and 66!

[Llama God]

I weep for you, Phil.

[Pinwig]

It's not as bad as it looks though, given those lists incorporate most of what Hasbro will put out this year. It's not like it's 66 on day one, it'll take most of the year to accumulate that lot.

[Philip Ayres]

I think the crucial question here is When does Titans Return start?

If it's May then there could be another 2 waves like that.

Plus Japanese Bruticus and Computron.

Plus whatever they do with BW.

I could easily do the ton this year with a start like that.

In many ways it feels really odd knowing where all my toy spending money is going between now and Juneish.

2 more: I've got Generations book Runamuck and Dogfight pre ordered!

[Bogatan]

Preorders. Plans, bah! Humbug.
14 hours in to the year and I already have a Generations Jetfire sat next to me thanks to B&M clearancing one to £9.99.

[Philip Ayres]

Well done, Andy wins earliest purchase of the year!

Incidentally have you found a Generations Jetfire missile in any of the Toy Fu boxes? Mine went rogue when everyone visited and I could see it have been discharged into one of your boxes by accident!

[The Doctor]

Jetfire down to a tenner in B&M now? I could pull the trigger if I saw one at that price...

-Ralph

[blueshift]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Sadly my local one was out of Jetfires end of Nov.

[Baron B of Triple B]

Yeah, my local went from overflowing shelves full of him to completely empty in the space of about 2 weeks around the end of Nov.

[Bogatan]

The box was trashed so that might be why the price. Or the price dropped and it was last to sell because of the damage.

[Llama God]

TO B&M! Tomorrow. When I'm sober.

Maybe Monday.

[Toph]

I've bought none, yet.

I HAVE bought an insane amount of JLU, though.

[Llama God]

Wait, what? There's a new B&M right near to my parents? Why wasn't I notified?! *runs into the rain*

[Shockprowl]

JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST TF OF 2016!!!!

CW Silverbolt. Used up an Amazon voucher. 18 squid!

THE PERCHANCE TO DREAM DREAM-TEAM RULES!!!!!!!

If you're down here and meaning the Farlington one, you were notified! I mentioned it a few months ago. Last I was in, there wasn't an awful lot to get excited about though.

Unless you're a *huge* Roadbuster fan. 

[Llama God]

Dammit. Also, how can you expect me to remember that far back? *cracks open another cider*

Nice. It's a good figure, not quite as good as its Cyclonus retool but it's a good version of Silverbolt. I picked it up for £12 from Kapow last year and was very pleased with it.

[Philip Ayres]

My 2016 account is now open with the arrival of CW Legends Wave 5. I will thus list Shockwave as my first toy of 2016!

[Kingoji]

I have MP Ratchet and Shockers pre-ordered from months back, and as of yesterday (birthday money) I ordered a couple of last year's TFCCSS chaps. And Chop Shop.
So I seem to right now be averaging one TF for each day in 2016. This is a pace I will not be maintaining.

[Dezzeh]

So far, still 0!
Though I have pre-orders awaiting payment, they are not due yet, so 0!

I have bought a Figuarts Trunks from DBZ however,

[Toph]

I have bought exactly zero, this year. But Cloud Shockwave and MP Road Rage came in this week, so I've aquired two.
Three if you count 3Ps. MMC DJD chair dude came in, too.
But also purchased last year.

Though I have aquired 59 Justice League Unlimited figures since christmas.

[Pinwig]

I'm biding my time, ordering priorities, preparing new lists and letting the engines idle while I plan. Trying to strategize won't work though because release dates are so variable.

[The Doctor]

I am beginning to regret the £10 I spent on the 'bit pish' Generations Jetfire. I could have had two suppers from the local chippy with enough change left for a bottle of fizzy pop instead!

No other purchases currently planned. Combination of the effects of another year with no pay rise means the toy budget must shrink further and as I am knee deep in star Wars mania that means no robots for a while! This is in no way a hardship.
