Transformers toys?

Seems like hard choice....Originally posted by Ayukat:Well... Hasbro's mostly plastic... so definately no paintchips...
Takara's diecast might chip... and I heard Binaltech, chip very easily when transforming...
But you prefet plastic or diecast... and Hasbro's paintjob and plastic quality is not known to be very good either...
Plastic or die-cast....
Can last long can liao. I'll rather have degrading paints than chipping bodies.
Hmmm... all the models are listed here ah?

just don't be too rough when transforming.
those toys were designed for display, not for play. so if you're gonna do a whole lot of transforming, alternator would be a better choice. -
its only 80-90 bucksOriginally posted by Ayukat:Missing some lehz...

You mean binals are more fragile, but look better than alternators?Originally posted by kopiosatu:just don't be too rough when transforming.

Sooner or later...Originally posted by kopiosatu:its only 80-90 bucks
I regret complaining TFC #00 was expensive when it was selling at Toy 'R' Us for $119.90... and now... $300 +...
And I spend $68 for my TFC #07... when I could have gotten it for $35 at Action City a year ago...
HAIZ...
Now I dun have G1 Convoy... and have to make do with the Pepsi Convoy...

i wouldn't say its more fragile. its heavier and plastic tends to be more forgiving if u force it too much, unlike painted die cast metal.Originally posted by redstone:You mean binals are more fragile, but look better than alternators?
binaltechs have a more solid look and feel, alternators plastic look is very obvious. -
if one likes it enough, one will buy it no matter what the cost.Originally posted by Ayukat:Sooner or later...

Actually... I think Alternators more fragile...Originally posted by redstone:You mean binals are more fragile, but look better than alternators?
Takara's definately better and collector friendly. -

i missed getting unicron and now i regret it.
will not miss getting primus. -
Hmm...transformers...I always see the ads when i was younger and see the display cases at Toys R Us. Until now, I still lust after the cool figurines but have never bought a single one. Haha.
And the new designs seem to have become worse. I prefer the Beaswars ones. The Autobots crap sucks. U see the truck/helicopter/airplane/cannon/wadeva you can already tell how it transforms. I think that is no good. Those Star Wars ones earlier in the topic were the opposite. THe TIE fighter really look like TIE fighter, not like ball with 2 shields.
My fren got old Beast wars one. The leopard guy. Hasbro. -
try yahoo auctionsOriginally posted by redstone:Where did you get the 80 bucks plus models? 
shops here tend to overprice the toys. -
Unicorn is still relatively cheap lehz... the price never shoot... I saw the black version... Japanese exclusive, $160 + oni...Originally posted by nismoS132:i missed getting unicron and now i regret it.
will not miss getting primus.
Of course Hasbro's Black version was a mass released... -

This year is Beast Wars's 10th Anniversary. Takara and Hasbro are both re-releasing the toys in an anime accurate scheme. -
