Quality of Instructions: Poll

[TheDirtyDigger]

Do you want to see a higher quality of instructions with your new Transformers?
i.e. better illustrations, text included, book design over fold out etc...


Personally I do. Not because I need them but because I think they add to the toy's value. (play/collectible value not monetary value)

I keep all my instructions now but that's because I'm an obsessive hoarder...not because they are decent.
But my G1 instructions I treasure because of the quality of them
You're getting instructions with your Tf anyway, why should they be sub-standard?

Answer: No.

As with the other thread, i seldom refer to instructions unless it's too complicate to transform or requires it to be transformed in multiple forms (triple or six-changer)
However, once i've referred to the instructions or maybe not and have transformed the figure once...i will mostly remember how to transform it back.

Mis-transformation isn't that bad either as it gives us more artistic look to the figure.
Instructions wise, sometimes it can be a pain to read them or trying to figure out what the figure does to get the parts transformed. Instructions doesn't matter to me...figure's quality and paintjob however matters to me most.

The instructions seem fine to me, I've never read any that I didn't understand, and after I look at them once I put them away so I'm not really fussed by the design, colours etc

Where are Machine Men and Barbie?

One day I'm gunna post pics of the magnificent MISB Barbie collection I....I mean my daughter has.

Her latest are the Betty and Wilma Flinstones twin pack and the Pink Label 2008 Holiday Seasons Barbie.

Ni instructions in them though...

I want better instructions than on those newly found MOSC Micromaster Patrols

"Lap de achterkant uit; dit worden de robotbene. Zet de robot rechtop."

What? :P

I would like to see a few words of instruction added for things that pictures can't depict or make clear. I'd like to see clear warnings for parts that aren't "made to detach if excessive force is applied".

I'd also like to see some consistant/uniform sizing of the instructions too so you could file them away better (A4/Letter size perhaps with larger ones folding nicely to that size.)

At the moment the instructions reflect the quality of the figures. Fairly cruddy.

Animated box art and packaging is greatly improved over the packaging we got for Cybertron, now the instructions (and whatever other extra paperwork added) should be improved.

I wouldn't mind improved instructions but overall I don't really care.

I would be happier if they payed more attention to the actual toy.

seriously speaking..if money goes to improving the instructions and lose focus on the toy figures itself...would you buy the toy even if the instructions are good and detailed? doesn't make any sense

don't care, I just bin them.
