As for Unite warriors, went ahead and pre ordered the 2 combiners (superior, menasor). Between the raised hasbro prices here, (US$24.5 deluxe, US$42 Voyager), and the fact that Takara is giving us the 5th member "early" in a convenient set, I'll jump on it. Still have hopes for a "proper" Defensor with a bike as a limb

I had a similar logic, hence why I ordered UW Superion. But now I realize that we will be getting both slingshot and wildrider before Takara's superion ships. The two extra limbs are coming in may.

I'll still go the Hasbro route. They're cheaper and I don't mind Alpha Bravo being part of the team

Lemme guess. American? Because you guys are still the ones who have TFs for cheapest in the world. Yes, even despite the recent price hike. Many people from the rest of the world go Takara simply for a matter of price. It's amazing when we think about it. Takara used to be so expensive, but the recent price hike of TFs make them suddenly affordable, even WITH shipping! Plus, the decos are usually superior.

I've been collecting TFs since late ROTF and some weeks ago, I ordered my first recent Takara TFs, the Bee and Wolfie 2pack. It ironically ammount to 1 or 2$CAN more than I would have paid live in store with taxes for superior Takara decos! Fingers crossed to be spared by customs. Because having to pay an extra 25-30$CAN more would suck big time and put to an halt my sudden Takara shift. Let's wait for the figures to arrive and hope for the best.

What I dont get is why they didnt use the superior ROTF Lockdown mold instead of the crappy cartoony animated mold ?

Takara Tomy's Twitter TF_pr just tweeted an Official Image Transformers Adventure Nemesis Prime and a reminder that it's due to be release this weekend with the rest of the second wave of the Transfers Adventures line.

I have that one. I really like that one.

But it's not THAT one, it's the non-nemesis colours one.

Sigh. So money, very sigh.

Because I'm tired of the arms popping out of the ball joints every time I sneeze (and I do that a ot, being allergic to "Spring" and all things in it) on my "superior" ROTF mold (I used to agree with you, actually) so I went back to my Animated figure?

Hey guys, the bombshell found on the pic. Is it Takara's or just Hasbro's with a sticker on it as a placement pic?

The legs pop off the animated model all the time. The hands will never be fixed because they would have to alter the mold, which they did for the recolor with the chain saw attachment.

Probably because Animated's style fits in with the RID style much more then a movie toy.

Plus the Animated toy was just as good.

Don't take X too seriously. 3/4 of his posts are for hating something.

Oh yes I've seen that with his Aplha Bravo bashing on threads that have nothing to do with Alpha Bravo in the first place.

Doesn't mean I can't reply to him with what I think.
