My sympathies, Josh

When my sister was younger, for years it was N*Sync.
(*shudders*)
Actually when it first came out in 1993, my sister was also interested in Power Rangers- she actually got Titanus the Carrier Zord and Tor the Shuttle Zord, which I later inherited from her! ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff

Well, i do know that

Well, i do know that Bumblebee and prime are nowhere to be found on toy store shelves this year. Even when a store manages to have some stock of actual transformers (not the helmets, or the robot heroes, or the wall clings, or the fake laptop, or th... well, you get the idea), they have NONE of the main characters from the movie. CLEARLY Transformers are kings this holiday season for the boys toys. And as for girls - Hannah Montanna is the new thing for tweens. My daughters are MENTAL over her, and her crap is everywhere.

I think that- while, yes, I too would like a Movie Scenes Concept BB- he's such a standout only because he's well know, and less based on how many people might have him. I mean- look at that runaway voting! 59 votes as I write this??? How many people voted for the popular one, and not for the one that was reviewed and that they had handled themselves?

Or is BB really that big this year...?

Bumblebee 2008 takes the

Bumblebee 2008 takes the loot! And I didn't even buy
when I had the chance! Now he's being sold at 2 to 3 times the
retail price where I live. A deluxe class for the price of a leader class!!
Ouch!!!

Classics Deleted

Using a couple TF resource sites it looks like the three classics mentioned above were indeed first issued in 2006, thus disqualifying for the vote. I have removed them - if you voted for them please feel free to re-vote.

Many apologize on getting the release dates wrong on those Transformers Classics. I had gotten all off the shelf in 07. I just assumed... Sorry for the mix up. Little did I know this little detail would shape a huge TOTY poll. Perhaps we can let them slide as I reviewed them in 07? I'll go back to my cave now. :)

Adam, did you mess up the classics dates?

Probably. I got mine in 07 though. /shrug

Dont worry, the vote gets more interesting as the price points go up - stay tuned!

And we try to be accurate with the dates, but if grimlock was 2006 instead of 2007, let me know. I didn't do that review. Adam, did you mess up the classics dates?

Damn Transformers are stuffing the vote.

That's what I was thinking. Mirage and Grimlock were even the same wave.

Re: No Transformers Classics

EVA_Unit_4A — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 14:29:01 -0500

I wondered about that myself... Until I realized that Autobot Mirage was released in 2006, not 2007, which this poll does not cover.

Actually- now that I think about it- that would eliminate all of the Classics figures here from this poll!

No Transformers Classics

No Transformers Classics Mirage? Mirage was the best Classics figure, period.

Right now our poll options

JoshB — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:52:41 -0500

Right now our poll options are limited, we can't do multiple select, and the choices don't allow HTML.. People will just have to use the search function to find out more about a toy until we have fixed that.
