Actually, that is a good point.

Most people don't scrutinise the toys like we do when in the store and just buy them, as when packaged, they look fine unless you have a close look and check them over, (collector mode).

But later after playing with them for a bit, surely they'd notice then and then start wondering.... But too late then, the sale is done.

But I still wonder why, after how great cybertron was, has the quality allowed to be binned? The extra bit of better workmanship really made those figures shine, I had no reason, nor inclination, to buy the takara galaxy force versions.

I have a feeling that in 10-20 years time, the original cybertron line will be the one out of the current "generation" that will demand the highest price in the 2nd hand market due to how great the quality is on them, especially on the repaints they pulled from the cybertron line into the movie line.
