Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[5FDP]

for the MISB collectors, how do you know that everything's inside and if there are missing parts or QC issues? This is for boxed toys like Encore Fort Max, MP Lambor and the like.

I ask because I just want to check the contents of the box and I do want to keep it MISB

Make friends with someone who has access to an x-ray machine or weigh yours against one that has been opened

I'm leaving my Fort Max MISB just to torture Goki

I will however be opening MP Prowl when I receive him (he's already got a spot reserved on my display shelf).

Thats why im not a fan of these blind packs. You just dont know. Youre taking it on good faith that the manufacturer has includd all the bits and bobs

Meh... if you have no intention of opening the toy or playing with it, does it even matter if it's complete or of good quality? I do have one blind boxed MISB TF toy in my collection (although I do have another one that's opened; it's one of the few times that I intentionally bought two so I could keep one opened and one sealed). But yeah... there could just be a really tightly bound or vacuum sealed bag of gravel in there for all I know.

You mean your MISB 5kg lead weight.

If you buy something from Robot Kingdom, how do you know its been shipped? I have had the order confirmation but that is it. Definately not as 'propheshinal' as BBTS.

They normally send you an email with your tracking number anf a link to HK Post

My theory is it's actually like Shrodinger's Cat.

C'mon Goki, do an MSPaint "Schrodinger's Fort Max" comic, you know you want to.

Is TFPrime Ultra Magnus bigger than Classics (voyager) Optimus Prime? I need a Magnus, but so many of them are teeny.

FE Bulkhead or TFPRID Bulkhead?

FE Bulkhead or TFPRID Bulkhead?

Ive got the FE. Didnt like the PRiD version.

[GoktimusPrime]

If you want a more screen-like toy, got TFPRiD. If you want a better engineered toy, go FE. Cost is another thing... while FE Bulkhead is nice, it's not without its flaws (one of the doors on mine is highly prone to falling off) and I wouldn't recommend paying above RRP for it. So if you can't find FE Bulkhead at close to RRP then just go TFPRiD.
