Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[loophole]

I keep my MP-03 in jet mode because of its attention to detail in jet mode which almost makes it sort of useless as a TF!! I could of just bought a model kit and which probally would of cost less but then again it wouldnt be a TF then would it!!

G1 Screamer is more playable, too. It doesn't take 35 minutes to transform him (:

That really p#sses me off when they do that!

Yet another seller trying to syphon a few more dollars out of TF People's pockets...

There's a difference between a small time seller like hyakushiki0100 and BBTS. hyakushiki0100 reduced prices as much as he could to begin with in order to gain a strong reputation and build a customer base - any beginners guide to eBay selling will advise that. Six months later he now charges around RRP on his listings, and I still recommend him - his prices arn't extortionate.

BBTS is a different story. Whenever their listings start gaining populatiry and running low they start jacking up the price. Seen it many times, and when they started charging more for items that I pre-ordered at a lower price I stopped shopping there and boycotted them. Satan will be wearing thermal undies and a ugg boots before I shop there again .

Pulse, you're a big proponent of BBTS and opponent of market based pricing. What's your opinion on Tober's comments?

I told you I'm not answering anymore questions to do with pricing/scalping etc.

Firstly, I'm not Pulse but I'm still a frequent buyer of BBTS right now.
Their prices may be outrageous like many online stores but at times when they do have their sale on and if you're intending to buy a bulk load of items, they are pretty worth it.

Take RK for example, some of their prices are not that fantastic as well but we still like to buy from them. Why so? Because of their reputation and customer service. BBTS has never stuffed up orders for me and at one order, an item was broken. I emailed them and without asking me to ship the item back, they gave me credits back for the price i paid for the item alone.

So I'll say that we should stick on what we individually like about the store and keep purchasing. Others may agree or disagree but it's our personal preferences. It's up to us to know and obtain the best deal for what we buy. If you're happy to pay more for an item that I think it's not worth, just buy it (i won't).

To those with Classics 2.0 Onslaught, are there any real colour differences then the pictures we've seen with the henkei release?
I know you've taken a few pictures, but the phone cameras kinda dull the colours a bit..
cheers

I dont have my comics here its still back in Phils so this is all from scarred memory ). GIJoe invaded Cobra Island with the help of the remaining Autobots, Wheeljack and Bumblebee, overidden the programming that locks out the original personality of the TFs. Tfs regain all their own selves again, all war breaks loose between, GiJoe Vs Cobra, Autos Vs Deceps. Prime finishes Soundwave, then Megs off uses his Fusion cannon to destroy threat ( missle or sumthingk cant completely recall.Cobra Commander Escapes , as usual using Screamer as his getaway jet. Gi Joes help restore Prime and other Autos to their usual G1 looking bodies and helps build new spaceship to transport them back to Cybertron which is now ruled over by Shockwave. meanwhile the remaining dissassembled decepts are taken in secret by the US military , tinkering them to make new weapons based on this technology, kinda like what Sumdac did with Megs. While mindbender on the other hand gets kidnapped by forces of Cobra- La.

I have seen on the net and in a book that G1 Longhaul has a rectangle hole in the chest, my G1 Longhaul does not have the hole in the front of the robot mode chest, and it doesn't look like there is anything lodged in there.

So, is my one a dud or does the hole appear when you push in the Devastator chest plate?

[GoktimusPrime]

The square hole is fairly redundant so it was removed in later versions of the toy. Earlier versions had the hole.
