QUOTE(freefall @ Apr 10 2008, 02:28 PM) Deluxe OP or Voyager OP, that is the question? aiiiii........ I dont have pics at the moment, but the mechanism in question is the Super mode wing extension connection:again, about GF OP, u guys said something to do with a pin / a snap mechanism...... care to further explain ?  1. in Takara's GC01 and EX02 OP, the wing extensions are connected to the main back part of the truck (the sections with the back wheels) by pins (metal rods inserted between holes, kinda like your door hinges) 2. in Hasbro's OP and Galaxy Force OP, the wing extensions are snapped onto the back part of the truck. This is due to the packaging for Hasbro's OP, where the wing extensions are tied to the inner side of the box, a space-saving measure i suppose  Once you've untied the OP from his box, all you have to do is snap the wing extensions to the truck's back part. easy and the snap joints is pretty tight, so no worries unless you snap it in and out VERY often (unlikely and unnecessary, haha)IMHO, no problems with hasbro's snap on extensions. When it comes to decision between Takara and Hasbro, u only need to consider: 1. ur budget 2. colour scheme that u prefer the pin/snap doesnt make a difference at all hope that helps |

QUOTE(samus_ng @ Apr 10 2008, 07:35 PM) Should be voyager, it was announced that Blitzwing would be a voyager, the deluxe one (hopefully) is just a rumour. Hopefully he is a voyager class; so far all the TFA toys stayed true to their show appearance; lets hope its true for Blitzwing as well on another note, TF Universe Octane doesn't look good  i think the original G1 Octane was much better, haha! |

QUOTE(kamkamparadise @ Apr 10 2008, 07:48 PM) sure meh? G1 Octane is a static legs TF. kinda hard to find one nowdays. but i expect more from TFU Octane/tankor. hopefully it won't dissapoint me. true, got static legs, but the shapes of the alternate modes are much more well proportioned, IMO Universe Octane's plane mode is kinda skinny and wimpy when it comes to the wings and propellers, haha  but TFU Octane's robot mode IS nice.. now the only triple changer im looking forward to is Blitzwing; nice TFA character, and more compact looking alternated modes  |

QUOTE(samus_ng @ Apr 10 2008, 07:57 PM) I'm pretty convinced that the deluxe one is false alarm now that I've checked back through previous articles, it was pretty much confirmed to be Voyager. All we can do now is hope for the best WOWWW!  TFU Tankor looks good to me, can't expect triple changers to look too perfect  For me, Animated takes priority over TFU, it's almost as if I forgotten entirely about TFU  TFA Activators, transformation at a push of a button...... mini con size? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  TFA voyager Starscream has never looked THAT AWESOME!BW Transmetal Rampage is a really good example of a good triplechanger; a giant crab with pincers, a tank with actual working rubber treads!!! and a really menacing looking robot mode! Added on April 10, 2008, 8:13 pm QUOTE(kamkamparadise @ Apr 10 2008, 08:02 PM) nice haul bro. is it? damn!!! i'm getting miskin like this. true bro. CLassics Astrotrain is probably the best triplechanger so far, when it comes to vehicles. would love it if its the old locomotive engine it transforms to owh. so small. TFTM FAB size almost the same as deluxe one. yeah. me too. classic astrotrain ok already but still dissapoint coz they didn't use the locomotive train as one of astrotrain alt mode.

Hm, hopefully this is not OT
I want your opinion guys, when it comes to local online Transformer toys dealer, which one would you recommend? based on your experience....1. XL-Shop, or 2. Play-Asia? things to be considered: 1. pre-order process (smooth communication, very troublesome, etc..) 2. use of credit card.. 3. postal and packaging.. want to preorder BT Meister but not sure which shop to go to  |

QUOTE(duke_hunt @ Apr 13 2008, 04:01 PM) ok... Thanks for the indepth view bro duke_hunt and william7 as far as i know, PO from XL via the web u have to pay full amount while Play-Asia, once the stock is in, they'll charge ur cc... i never PO from XL but now i've 2 items under PO from Play-Asia and gonna add 1 more item later today.. oh, Play-Asia in located in Hong Kong, not local... like william said, u shud also consider grey import as well... PO from them are smooth, i've got 1 order of Alt Nem Prime with William, picked up henkei BB from cjlai last week and BT 19-20 from Jasonlky... i'm satisfied with them as their updates for their customers are top notch... if u r considering Play-Asia or other online retailers, u shud have a CC, and please register with paypal though u may not know when u gonna use paypal services... as for cc, make sure ur back support Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure code as an added security for ur online purchases via the cc number.. packaging, depends on ur luck actually... store will package em nicely, once its under postal service, if they treat the package well, u will get it with little or no dents at all... if not, the outer packaging will have dents any inner package may or may not get dents.. my 1st purchase from Play-Asia was 3 Revo TFs, Rodi, SS and Megs, only Megs box got dent at 1 corner... others are fine... if u wanna PO BT Meister, u may want to contact Cjlai or Jasonlky for the PO status... their price are way better than XL... actually, just gave up on BT Meister.. hunting for another toy, non-tf tho again, thanks for the valuable info! |

Hmm here's some pics of my brand new GD01 Master Megatron
le' box:  Robot mode:  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thanks to bro cjlai!!!! Short review: 1. Packaging: Takara did a very good job in the packaging department; love the plastic tray used instead of Hasbro's obsession with twist ties The graphics are kinda "cheap" tho, compared to Hasbro's..2. Master Megatron: Love the size, hate the rubbers. IMO, the rubber parts (vehicle mode front part, the shin guards) could have been done with normal plastic like the rest of the toy.... the rubber are kinda prone to warping (ala BW Transmetal II Megatron dragon neck, only softer). The Batmobile mode is kinda wicked looking, but the jet mode is kinda "meh".... Overall, Love the robot and car modes! He's BIG and chunky, haha. Only downsides are the use of rubber on some parts, the so-so jet mode, and the pastel colours (im actually ok with the colours, but when place beside GC01, Megatron looks like Mr. Nice Guy) |

Yupe, nothing wrong with the colours of Megatron there bought it from cjlai, not sure if i should put the price here it's in his sales thread though  haha, even the posing of our pictures are almost the same  |

QUOTE(kyagami @ Apr 17 2008, 10:10 PM) @cjlai...wahh mpss takara bulk come again! haha, i think that applies to most of us here too dem no money now...haihh.. on TFA Blitzwing: the only saving grace is the robot mode.... i agree with vanquish, the jet mode looks FAB-ish he could have been sleeker, IMO, with voyager treatment maybe? here's hoping Blitzwing gets what he deserves @Jasonsky: Nice haul bro! Mr Gorilla is trully awesome in robot mode; BIG and imposing! @cjlai: yupe, box is still in really good condition, thanks to ur secure packaging |

QUOTE(melfariza @ Apr 18 2008, 10:34 AM) looks kinda big for a deluxe, doesn't it? kinda reminds me of that tfa decepticon. very tall in robot mode despite being a deluxe. Another Universe Classics Tankor review (with nice pics): REVIEWhmm, i change my mind about this mold, Tankor has some really GREAT engineering! better than TFA Blitzwing "FAB" |

QUOTE(wmconan @ Apr 26 2008, 01:29 AM) Guys, want to ask your opinion. Is it worth to get Hasbro UBB (price around RM 280) or get the Takara UBB (which more expensive a bit-price around RM350)? Which one is better. Sorry, if this is deja vu question. not sure if there was a Takara UBB, but a simple rule for all TFTM toys seems to be that Takara's are just Hasbro's with japanese stickers on the box (with the exception of the two Bumblebee deluxe molds and possibly the upcoming Takara premium; wouldnt bet on the later though)if u r really into UBB, just get the cheaper one, IMHO |
