Binaltech

[Tropisetron]

Just wondering...

How much did the early binaltech cost when it first came out>? i was just browsing through ebay.... price is way up there.

Am considering whether to start buying them along with the upcoming ones. Any comment from you guys? What's your experience/love/hate for binaltech>?

Thanx guys!

I'm a late comer to Transformers collecting and started off with Binaltechs.
It is believed to be about US$50+ due to its die-cast material...

Unless you started collecting at the start when they were about US$45 each I dont think it's worth collecting the entire set. BT-17 goes for around US$700 alone and BT-18 is hard to find at a reasonable price too. Maybe either collect Alternators instead or look at collecting one of each BT mold.

Yeah BT are awesome, though they're better on the shelf than as toys.
Because of the die-cast some of the bots are a bit top heavy so I keep them at the back of the shelf or in car mode.

Well that's what I've seen them go for. I thought it was a rip-off when it was $120 - it's the worst BT mold and it's quite heavy too, even though not all of the body is diecast.

Robot Kingdom has BT17 for *just* $599 US! Bargain

I wouldn't say it's the worst BT mold but it's pretty bad. The AT OP toy was pretty boring and the chest plate looks very transparent if you display it with lights on top or behind the bot mode. The lovely paint job on Kiss Convoy made a huge difference and turned it into a lovely display piece. BT17 is simply crazy. I would say it actually has too much diecast content. They really over did it with this one, and it'd be interesting if BT22 will have the same diecast content again.
