i'm interested. where's your location? takara version uses a stiff plastic smokestacks, right?

you means it's the same flimsy rubber smokestack as with hasbro's? ah crud. what's the actual difference with the smokestack then?

@busta_dude,

let me confirm the above 1st.

crap, then there's not much reason for me to get takara, sorry busta_dude. i thought takara use a hard plastic smokestack.

but is it still soft rubber, as in bendable rubber? that's all i wanna know.

all this talk about buster prime.....really, the hasbro OP isn't so bad what (covering for lack of funding)...

....especially in group shot .

really? it never happened before. i think hasbro's smarter than that. they won't sell flagship toys cheap especially during a craze (look at how many new names joining the club recently).

yes there will be tf toys, but it'll be those shelf-warmers. don't get your hopes up.

hasbro's manual has ceased to helped much for some years already .

not really, for me at least. the combined mode looses to much articulation on the legs. it's the new age brick, next to armada prime in super mode.

my sentiment exactly. before joining this forum, i've never even heard of the BIB term. there was only MISB, MIB and loose. MIB is suppose to mean that the item was taken out from the box, either displayed or played, but is still in good condition. it does not apply however to items that have loose joints but still comes with the box. maybe these items could be classified as BIB as they are not "Mint" anymore.

to me, the MIB and BIB used in this forum, or most local forum for that matter is quite confusing indeed. so if i have a good condition, displayed only item, it is still not "mint". only items that never leave the box is mint? if so, then these terms can only apply to resellers, not collectors. collectors tends to admire their items by taking them out of the packaging.

the fact is, these terms are used to describe the item condition when they are being sold, not how they are stored. example, "im selling this optimus MIB". saying "i'm seliing this item BIB" just doesn't make sense.
