Absolutely, but then again, everyone has said this from the beginning.
One thing that has always kept me away from even the passable SW Transformers is the miserable quality of the toys. Every single one I have held feels like knock-off quality. Paint aps are always suspect on these toys and the engineers do a poor job of hiding hollow points on the toys.

Is it the same with the Death Star Vadar. Honestly thats the only one that really appeals to me cause it looks so cool, but I'm real weary of buying it as my finances only allow me to get things I really want and, as you can tell by this thread, everyone has a different view on the subject. Save Aeros who thinks anything TF is great, apparently.

LOL Let me make this very clear. Everything TF is great.....The reason: It gives many ppl with many different taste many options when deciding what they like and what they wanna buy.
Someone might love SWTF and hate titaniums. someone else might be the exact oposite. But the fact they are on the self next to eachother gives you a choice. That is great. Don't be insulted by variety.

Ok, you're looking at it from the very optimisitic, this could be something new and cool view, while I'm taking it from the pessimistic, whoa they're just trying to sell more garbage to us view.
This one is a matter of opinion and I'll have to agree to disagree with you on it.

Re: Do Star Wars Transformers insult us TF Fans?
agree to disagree?
let's put it this way. you go to McDonalds. Do you want to see one big picture of a bigmac and you dont' like the bigmac but thats the only thing you can order. Or would you rather see the BigMac(Animated figures), Quarterpounder(Universe), chickennuggets(SWTF), and a happymeal(Titaniums). they have a menu so you can Choose what you want but would you see the Chickenuggets as a, slap in the face/insult, if you didn't like chicken nuggets?
I don't like every TF line. i think those little robot heroes aren't that cool, they are a fisherprice little action figure equivalent to TFs. but am i insulted by them? No. i just choose not to by them.

Ok Aeros, first off, NO WAY are SWTF the equivalent of Chicken Nuggets. CN's are small pieces of processed white meat goodness that can be dipped in most awesome bbq, sweet and sour and hot mustard sauces. Can you do that with SWTFs? No.
Second, to agree to disagree means, you have your opinion, I have my opinion, you don't agree with mine, I fail to agree with your's, SOOOO, we both say, "Ok, lets drop it".
