    Default Takara BW Transmetal Megatron, worth it?

    Hey guys. I've been seriously considering getting the Takara version of Transmetal Megs. There are a couple of him on ebay in a 2-pack with Primal for around the $220 mark (after postage) which is pretty steep for me, so I'm not rushing in to anything.

    What do those of you with experience think of the Takara TM Megatron? Is he 100% Gold Plastic Syndrome free?

    I don't want to spend that money on a figure unless I'm absolutely sure.

    PS: If anyone has a Takara Megs they're considering selling, lose/boxed, whatever, hit me up.

    In a word? - YES!
    Takara's version is 100% GPS/BPS free as it uses a different dye, Black, and a different plastic compound to my understanding - I bought one and I'm glad I did.

    I really want this toy. Waited years for a TM Megatron. Broke him straight out of the box. Noones fault but my own. I was told not to open him and I did it anyway.
    I heard about the Takara one and have been looking ever since.

    Golden Disks Accessory Set

    I got mine from BBTS. They're worth it for the novelty value, so as worthwhile tracking down as Takara Metals Megs!

    No problems man, I got them in the pack from a Member's sale here and man as soon as I'd seen them posted did I express my interest because they're bloody hard to come by nowadays.

    Excellent, excellent news Jinto; I'm very glad to hear you've acquired the pair and I very much llok forward to seeing some pics.
    Best of luck in your search for the Golden Disks too, with Verno at your side though you should have a good chance indeed.
