Hasbro is trying to bankrupt me (Toy Thread)(56k has to grow up early)

It was bad enough this summer, when they had me buying the Transformers movie toys. I wound up with Starscream, Barricade, Ironhide, and Jazz. I'm particularly fond of Jazz, since he's such a neat looking little bugger.

And yet they still haven't let me go, because I continue to hunt without success for Deluxe 2009 Camero Bumblebee WHICH IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND RARARARARARARAR.

And now, after being strung along like an addict, I come upon this gem in Target this past Tuesday.

Goddamnit, Hasbro.

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

    I actually haven't bought the Sith Infiltrator yet.

    But realistically I know it's only a matter of time.

    Amen.

    I also want the MP Starscream coming to Wal-Mart even though I should probably be happy enough with the Classics one (which is cool).

    And hey, does anyone have one of those new Force Action Lightsabers?

    I've also been slightly tempted to get one of those, just because, hey, it's an electronic lightsaber that fits all the way inside the handle! A novelty if there ever were one.

    He is awesome.

    I now have all the movie Autobots. I hadn't planned on getting them all originally but... fuck, that's how it goes.

    Speaking of Hasbro, there's a new Nerf gun coming out next year.

    Can be taken apart and just used as a bigass handgun with the longshot clip.

    It's a pistol with an extra barrel, which will cut the range off from it just being a pistol.

    I'm still going to get it.

    Oh, and I am not as happy with the ultimate Bumblebee as I thought I would be, the robot mode just looks clunky.
