Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Some of the Takara ones are black? (The 'Fun' companies were Fun4All/Basic Fun.) I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of knockoffs too, so you just need to ensure it's from one of the three official companies above.

Can you differentiate between those official manufacturers?

After more than an hour of skull-crushing I finally managed to get the Darth Vader/Death Star transformed into a perfect sphere. God my hands hurt. My only question now is there anywhere to store the lightsaber? Everything else seems to have a home.

Unfortunately, the light saber is not storable in his Death Star alt mode.

No where specific, but if I remember right (it has been a long time since I handled the figure) there should be plenty of empty space under the shell to fit it.

There is room to shove it between his folded legs and body.

Is Generations Drift a good figure? He looks pretty good and from what I've read in the review thread he seems pretty nice. His Blurr redeco looks nice as well. Should I get him?

Very nice figures, both characters work well with that mould.

I can't seem to find the sweet spot to jam it in, don't know if I really want to force it

Both Drift and Blurr are nice figures. Blurr might not look like much from the images but is far more convincing once you have him in-hand.

TFCC Shattered Glass Drift is quite nice too if you can find one at a sensible price.
