I'm talking!

I've been a fan of Alan Dean Foster's work for a while now, although I haven't picked up any of his books in a few years. So when I found out he was writing all the Transformers Movieverse books, I was interested. I mostly read Ghosts of Yesterday and later The Veiled Threat because The Reign of Starscream piqued my interest in the Movieverse's ancillary fiction. Both were good, albeit not stellar.

Yes, I'll get advanced control and achievements (both of which make me a happy Martonimos), but ...

I'm bored, and that "1" floating next to my "blog entries" was looking a little weird, so I figured I'd post a list of the Transformers toys I currently want, regardless of whether they're upcoming or older than dirt. Bear with me, folks; this will take a while.
