i'm not a fan of beast wars, so that's just my "tembak" attempt . i'm sure about the rest though.

honestly, i agree with that suggestion. i see no benefit in splitting the thread. it only makes the database more complicated and topic harder to keep track of.

IMO, sure gundams can have their own anime thread as there are numerous series and people interested in the model kit do not necessarily like the anime (like myself). but TF toys and the cartoons are tied to each other.

i 2nd the opinion that if we are not allowed to discuss both of 'em here(in the hobbies section), let's move it elsewhere where we can discuss anything TF related.

as samus mentioned, it's not really up to choice. it's affordability. if you can find the takara version, can you afford it? takara will have better QC and better resale value. not much difference in mold. satisfaction is always with takara, but price will always be with hasbro.

well it's no fun to spoil the surprise now is it?

that one missed out la. probably by a few mins only .

guys;

what is the current acceptable price threshold for MISB hasbro's RID prime and MISB cybertron prime (red/blue) for the moment?

i know the red/black GF OP is around rm300 MISB.

LC97 1665 xxxx S has arrived!!!!! . surprisingly fast for express mail international. registered to malaysian custom on the 5th. it was already in malaysia when i posted the quoted mssg . pictures later.

speaking of galaxy convoy.....

the appetizer:


the main course:


what the heck is it already?



the dessert?

i'm hoping this is the last. .......well maybe 'till next year .

wait until i finished my 'meal' la . the 'dessert' has not arrived yet and i haven't even begin to 'feast' at the 'main course' yet.

honestly, luck has much to do with it. reasonable price for an MISB.

dang, why is my dessert taking so long to arrive. main course getting cold already.

how come priority mail took longer than express mail?

on another note:

Dang RID prime is nasty to transform . not in the hard kind of way, but in the "you really need to be careful of risk chipping the paint" way. QC on mine was sub par aka not that good. lots of scratches and uneven paint.

good mold though. pictures later .

....and finally it's here.

the main course:


the dessert:


What is it?


collection completed, no more tf. group pictures later. .

old items . the packaging was not that good. probably got topsy-turvy during postal. everything was out of place, even the elbows were bent backwards.

now you know . no reason having the same mold. plus, GF OP takes so much space, and i only got room for one.

alternator retail price is 99.90. so i think you can calculate yourself whether it's worthed or not.

although i'd recommend against OP as your 1st alternator. get the rx-8 or mustang mold 1st, then you'll be impressed.

i don't believe this, am i the only one who thinks that the red/black galaxy force OP looks much cooler than the red/blue one? asked my friends, they liked the red/blue. asked my wife, she also likes the red/blue. . reason? more colors.

i dunno, i think the red/black variant looks much more "brutal" .

my MIB terms:
-taken out
-never transformed(played with)
-wires can be removed
-stickers never applied.
-basically same condition as new. no paint chips or signs of wear.

well, it's mint-in-box. so for sure it's been out from the box for a while. perhaps for display?

my 2 cents.

edit: btw, i think this is the term mostly used worldwide. i was actually shocked at how you guys define the MIB term.

that's the hard part when dealing internationally.

edit: has some post been deleted? is discussing about packaging off topic too?

is it just me, but doesn't TFA's Bulkhead sounds exactly like Patrick Star from Spongebob?

hehehe....that means my voice recognition system is working 100%. no need to google .
