Cool. Done. Thanks. :)
Done like fun. Good to see a more collector-focused survey from Hasbro. :)
done and done, although i cant say much for it as there were some questions that needed more/varied answers
oh well
I did it and I am also happy to see them seeking information about Collectors.
Yesterday I was shopping at Hurstville and was shocked to see Animated voyager/deluxes and the Movie remnants continuing to be shelf/peg warmers while Universe deluxes were very scarce with their pegs almost empty.
Hasbro must have picked up that toys that are generally collector friendly also have a wider appeal. Classics proved that and it appears that so is this new Universe line.
I Agree :)Quote:

Then use that to localize the survey questions especially ( if not only ) for the question on where we get our Transformers from. :)
Done. The question that goes something like;
"Do you collect on character preferance or vehicle preferance?"
PLEASE tick vehicle. Otherwise we'll end up with Mega repaints, all of of them being Optimus Prime. Eg, Super Flying Optimus! = Movie Starscream repaint.
I'm scared...... *cringe* *shudder* :)

Hmm I guess I'm too young to be considered a collector by them. Obviously 17 is still a child who plays with toys becaus after submitting my age, the survey ended. Biased indeed. :(
Done & Done :)
I found this question hilarious: :D
Why was the highest option $200+? There should have been an option for "I don't wanna know... :o"Quote:

done, but it would be nice to have some higher values on how much do you spend annually, even factoring in the vastly cheaper prices for the yanks, i still spend a helluva lot more then $200 a year
Agreed. On average this year, I spent $200 every 11 days. :eek:Quote:

Yeah, that yearly spend option was fairly low last time as well. Even US$200 is only 10 Deluxe toys ALL YEAR for the Americans. To collect that few in a year would barely count as a collector, so how would the lesser values count as being collectors?
I was happy to see them asking about non-convertable items, to really see what true fans think of them, as opposed to the parents who may just grab stuff off the shelves for kids presents. I totally rejected the Mighty Muggs in the survey though... :D
Q10 was tough for a completist to answer (prefer character or vehicle), but I guess if I had limited money and had to choose between two toys, I'd go for the one that looks nicer, rather than the one with a particular name.
Glad they had an option to enter in other fan-sites/communities you're a member of... :p
I can imagine some of those global sites encouraging their members to do the survey to boost their image to Hasbro as being the site to consider for future promotions.
31 questions later... and it redirects me back to the year-old, outdated Hasbro Australia page...
:confused:I thought when they said character they were talking about the robot figure in general and not the name as you have alluded to Griffin:confused:. Did I misinterpret the question:eek:.
Yeah, I enjoyed saying None of the Above for the non-transforming figures and of course, I put otca.com.au in Other for fan sites. :D
SEXIST Survey! Can someone complain to Hasbro that there ARE female TF fans out there too! :mad:
The moment I clicked on Female gender, they said "Thank you for your help" and that was it! No more questions asked whatsoever.
Wow, thats tough there JuzMel!
Filled it in, but had a hard time with the store I brought most of my transformers in. In the end I selected eBay and filled out an other..
when it came to which fan site you are a member of, there was no option for other , or there was but it wouldnt accept it.
I had to say i was from Seibertron.com then say in the box that i was an Ozformer
Girl collectors of a boys toys are a myth. You are obvious some sort of sentient robot who is in disguise. There is no other explanation. *folds arms and wishes there was a Something Awful-style Colbert folding arms smilie*Quote:

Just filled it out then.
Put in a little bit about visiting the Hasbro website about skipping the Aus version as its so old.:D
Just finished. A bit meh. It wouldn't let me leave some answers with just "other"
Nice that they want to get out opinion though
I would run and hide if I were you. Thou know's no wrath like Juzmel'sQuote:

Agreed. I keep seeing buttloads of animated sitting around, while universe (that has no cartoon advertisement), is flying out the store.Quote:

Done...
OOOOOOOOOR retailers ordered loads more Animated and only a handful of Universe toys.Quote:

That may be so but it still doesn't fully explain why the Universe pegs are empty and Animated toys filled.Quote:

Mel, the Choose-Female-Survey-Ends thing was a programming bug and has been fixed:
http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...-survey/14530/
I wonder if they fixed up the age bug as well. Adzma, you should try again, if you haven't already tried with an older age option.
It all comes back to the low rates they pay the slack teenagers, You pay peanuts = You get Monkeys... :DQuote:
