New Hasbro TF collectors survey

[1orion2many]

Done & Done








I found this question hilarious:



Why was the highest option $200+? There should have been an option for "I don't wanna know... "

Yes but $200 U.S in the U.S buys a lot more than what we can in Australia.

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.

That's not very fair. Anyone over about 12 who buys toys for themselves would have to be considered a serious collector, because how many teens (13+) get action-figure toys as *gifts* to play and discard as a non-collector?
You should try to redo it, but just enter in a slightly older age.

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.

[griffin]

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...

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...
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 and it redirects me back to the year-old, outdated Hasbro Australia page...

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. Did I misinterpret the question.

[jaydisc]

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.

SEXIST Survey! Can someone complain to Hasbro that there ARE female TF fans out there too!

The moment I clicked on Female gender, they said "Thank you for your help" and that was it! No more questions asked whatsoever.

[Zippo]

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..

[roller]

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
