Welcome to the 69th incarnation of the Transformers thread!

TRANFORMERS INTRODUCTION
The Transformers are alien robots of a popular Hasbro toy line and its spin-offs.

Transformers: G1, includes both the animated television series The Transformers and the Marvel Comics comic-book series of the same name, which is further divided into Japanese and British spin-offs, respectively. Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series which became its own mini-universe. Generation 1 characters underwent two reboots with Dreamwave in 2002 and IDW Publishing in 2006. There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy lines during the 2000s. The firsthttp://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Post&CODE=00&f=118 was the Robots in Disguise series, followed by three shows that consist of the "Unicron Trilogy" (consisting of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron). A live-action film (Transformers The Movie) was released in 2007 and a sequel (Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen) was released in 2009. The third instalment (Transformers: Dark of The Moon) was released in June 2011.

C-scale rating

What is the "C" Scale?

The "C" Scale is a grading system used to grade new and used figures on a descending scale of C9.5 to C1.

Below is the "C" scale.

* C10 - Figure is in perfect condition, without any flaws or defects. The extremely high price is to be expected. 'Nuff said.
* C9.9 - Figure is in almost perfect condition, without any visible flaws or defects. The price will include a very high premium due to its rarity.
* C9.5 - Figure is in mint condition, without any visible flaws or defects. Expect a high price because it's very rare to find a figure like this.
* C9.0 - Figure is in near mint condition with very few minor flaws (barely noticeable unless you search hard).
* C8.5 - Figure has some very minor areas of wear and may have small flaws.
* C8.0 - Figure has minor paint/sticker wear, may have minor stains, discoloration, and stress marks but no damage.
* C7.5 - Figure has some play, paint/sticker wear and may have some stains, discoloration and stress marks.
* C7.0 - Figure has play wear, moderate paint/sticker wear and may have moderate stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure is still collection worthy up to this point depending on the collector.
* C6.5 - Figure has more play and paint/sticker wear, and may have stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure may have a broken part.
* C6.0 - Figure has heavy play wear, paint/sticker wear and may have heavy stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure may have one or more broken/repaired parts.
* C5.5 - Figure has heavy wear damage, repairs and stains/discoloration.
* C5.0 - Figure has many flaws, wear, tears, stains/discoloration and may be broken.
* C4.5 - Figure has major flaws, and play wear (tears, stains/discoloration) and may be broken.
* C4.0 - Figure shows severe play wear, damage and may be used for parts.
* C3.5 - Figure has many usable parts and major damage.
* C3.0 - Figure that has some usable parts and major damage.
* C2.5 - Figure that has few usable parts and major damage.
* C2.0 - Figure has very few useable parts and severe damage.
* C1.5 - Figure is in very poor condition.
* C1.0 - Figure cannot be salvaged for parts. We throw these out.

Just curious - why do some collectors keep their TF in MISB condition?

If for investment purposes I understand... but if you collect for fun, don't you get itchy to hold your TF and transform it at least once?
*
that's why some people prefer buy BiB.... at least still can play around then place it back box/ card.

I'm one of the them who keep my TFs inside box, due to no place to display it tongue.gif... new 1 sure never open, BiB sure will transform it once then BiB again tongue.gif... i'm planning make a custom made display cupboard with dustproof. I don't want to wipe TF one by one/ bath them every few month once doh.gif

my gundam inside detolf become mangsa of snow dust field. laugh.gif

tfs potentially will not be re-issue smile.gif like 3rd parties tfs... some MPs also hard to find already. Another type would be Takara/ hasbro tf with 3rd parties addon would be something people are looking for too.

nod.gif 3rd party tf... sometimes i found them costing even more than the official takara/hasbro tf...
*
that's why... investment...

depends on individual preference... some 3rd parties product details are good, some color accurate... that makes me wanna buy it, invest into it. I might not be opening it now, in the future i might sell it too, MISB would be able sell at the better price... flex.gif
