How many Transformers have you acquired in 2023 so far?

I really need to calm it down a bit next year.

Aye. Sure. We'll remind you of this come the TFN Mini-Con. And TFN. And- ;-)

I know, I know.

Fun toy

[The Doctor]

I saw that toy exactly once in the wild (Tesco) and never again! Glad I picked it up.

Ah, Tesco. Remember when they sold Transformers?

-Ralph

[Fortmax2020]

I, err, think I have one of those still needing to be opened.

[The Doctor]

Oh come on!!!

Who got a visit from Robot Santa then?

You should. It has all the best bits of engineering from the CW aerialbots, only without being compromised by having to be a box or a combiner limb.

Great toy.

I did, but no robots this year so my 2023 total remains unchanged. This is fine: I got plenty during the year.

I did get some Transformers cereal though!

Who has the most in 2023? I reckon Nigel.


I must have the lowest at 6. Shirley.

[Pinwig]

Tell you what though, I think Ralph and Benn have the most interesting/varied lists. You look at those and can see a vast range of interesting toys from different eras. My list of 50 just shows the relentless and never ending pursuit of keeping on top of new releases. Although I must check, I don't think I paid full price for many. If any.

I only bought two this year - Legacy Leo Prime and Legacy TM2 Megatron.

And don't call me Shirley.
