How to answer the Takara-TOMY online feedback survey

[lcz128]

Thanks a lot for this Will have to go back and find that doco from my toys so I can submit one of these

[GoktimusPrime]

I just filled out the survey for MP Rumble/Ravage. It's mostly similar to the Encore survey translated in posts 1 and 2 of this thread, but here are some questions that are unique to the MP survey (and particularly for the MP cassettes)






Once you've hit the submit/send button, it will take you to a confirmation page. Scroll down and hit "send" to confirm, or the back button to edit/change anything.

RE: Question 38
If you would like to select "Other" and nominate a character that you'd like to see reissued, but you don't know how to type it in Japanese, you can copy and paste the name off TFwiki like this...

Got one with my Sky Lynx today. Might check it out.

[GoktimusPrime]

Each toy comes with its own ID number and you have to input the ISBN to access the survey. So I doubt that older Encores like Sky Lynx will open up the newer surveys like the one that comes with Fortress Maximus. You can see that this survey has some Fort Max specific questions (such as mentioning the fortress and city modes). The Sky Lynx survey will more likely open up the older survey as shown in post #1 and #5 of this thread. Nothin' wrong with filling the survey out, but I wouldn't expect it to have any of the newer questions, especially the one asking you to select/nominate future Encore characters.

But this does give us hope that TakaraTOMY is going back to the good old days when they were more willing to listen to collectors (Hasbro certainly seems to be going toward that direction too). I was quite surprised to see the Dinobots as one of the options -- it shows that they're willing to consider going to the expense of reconstructing lost moulds!

I would love the dinobots! Individuals, 5-pack, I just want them!!!

Oh god yes (Still wouldn't replace my Grimlock; he has massive sentimental value).

[Bidoofdude]

I am very confused by some of these questions...

[Sinnertwin]

I am very confused by some of these questions...

Which ones?

[Bidoofdude]

Never mind. Gok's guide helped. Mainly the "Who is using this mostly?" questions, which chrome translated to "Who do you mainly do with this product?" or something of that nature.
