Ok, so I have some Amazon reward points burning a hole in my pocket and need to use them. Which Takara figure do I choose?

AM 21 Arms Master Prime
AM Orion Pax
AM 25 Nemesis Prime
AM 01 Prime with Battle Shield

Many thanks, first post here. :KREMZEEK:

Well, that was over quickly.

I would have said "just take the one you like best" but the logical way is to get something that is REALLY different from something you can get in store.

Still, having to order a AM voyager, I would have gone with Breakdown. You know, the mold that will never leave Japan?

I really think Nemesis Prime is really the best of the lot you short-listed. His sword Micron is really well done, like FE's sword and it can transform into some saw fish.

Which is exactly why everybody should buy it

having said that, Nemesis Prime is the best choice IMO

Yea, I like the elusiveness/rarity of some of these figures and that, many times, will be my deciding factor.

AM-24 Breakdown? Love it. He's still available on Amazon for around $70 from TF Source and Past Gen Toys, but no BBTS.

AM-24 Breakdown? Bad A$$.

If I'm going to give in and buy a AM Voyager, it would defenitely be Zombie Breakdown. It even have Silas inside!

Except that's Silas Breakdown, not the original. Put short, Breakdown bit the dust, MECH salvaged his parts, Silas, their leader got crushed by their Nemesis puppet, so he got integrated into Breakdown's body, creating "Cylas". That toy even has Silas molded into the chest cavity. :grin:

Wish my decision making was that easy :lol:

I would've said Breakdown too. He's one of my prized possessions of my Prime collection. However, since you gave yourself four choices, Nemesis Prime all the way.

Chase has a few different cards with rewards and the Amazon card through Chase is one of them. So as you spend (on everything, not just Amazon purchases) you build points and then you can redeem them through Amazon. They build pretty fast. And recently they made it available to link your other Chase reward cards to Amazon too, that's how I was able to burn through all my points to buy a few AM's. For example, I have a Chase Freedom card and was able to transfer all the points to Amazon. You can apply for the cards at Chase.com.
