Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[DELTAprime]

Hey guys I was browsing TFsource.com and noticed G1 transformers for sale. They had both US and JAP ones boxed for sale and I was wondering if there are any real differences between the two in regards to the actual final product ? also is one make more desirable than the other or are they much of a muchness ? And any real information regarding the purchase of g1 transformers, hints and tips, things to look out for when buying.Thank you

Takara boxed TFs almost always seem to be listed for higher prices for most series compared to it's Hasbro counterpart. I always keep my Takara boxes because of that. I'm not sure why on G1 as there wasn't many changes made between the Hasbro and Takara versions, tho some do exist. In modern toys almost every last Takara release has differences from Hasbro's.

There also seem to be quite a lot more Takara ones actually in box. Only seen a few Hasbro G1 figs in a good-condition box.
