Would you buy a Transformers Model Kit?

I share your pain in this. Quality wise Classics 2.0 (and the whole TF franchise after the movie) has been a great dissapointment.

Unfortunately with the AU$ going down and the Yen going up its become expensive to import Henkei when once it was cheaper. Unfortunately the quality of Henkei and general TakTom releases is also decreasing even though its still far above Hasbro. It seems that the TOMY merger is taking away the charm that Takara products once had.

I can't really say that I am excited about the new releases either and due to the crashing dollar its become hard to collect the vintage figures so I am also feeling my Transfan Morale taking a hit.

I like it, Transfan Morale. I was going to submit a question regarding plastic kits to Hasbro but the answer would have been;

"We thought we told you fans to stop collecting? The more of you that collect the more issue's you'll see. We don't have plans in the near future for TF plastic kits. Our focus now is the ROTF Movie and Animated. We may look at releasing unpainted robot heroes, but not till 2020, by which time your old arthritic hands won't be able to hold a TF"

(By the way I do like the animated toys )

I thought that the last Classics wave were model kits?

The impressively low QC of the last few waves of figures has me thinking Hasbro could easily make model kits, even if they were basic snap on limb kinds.

The thing is models need to be built and painted, so you need glue, paints and all the paraphernalia that goes along with building it. Plus the skills to put it together.
Also injected polystyrene is not very good for areas under stress or repeated force.
I would love to see a plastic kit of say the Barricade Mustang but making a transformer out if it would be very difficult.
