That's a shame.

 

:pfx

 

after actually getting a few binaltech with diecast i was so disappointed on how loose their joints were right out of the misb. and the painted metal didn't match the plastic as well... they looked inconsistent.

i sold my alts, with no regrets. And I feel no need for these, but seriously isn't it time for some new molds or something?

Or, at least not early molds that have had multiple releases already.

 

 

I'd bet that TakTom isn't going to bother licensing any newer cars unless Hasbro is involved, since I think it's the US market that necessitates it.

That's a shame.

 

its a shame? die cast was kinda the whole point for me spending that little extra (well that and getting them right hand drive)

 

Right, that's what Binaltechs are. And I'd rather spend $55 on die-cast BT's than $75 on all-plastic KISS Players.

And I'd rather spend $25 on all-plastic Alts.

 

I like the plastic ones better AND they're cheaper.

 

I still would much rather have an Alt Battle Ravage than my Binaltech Battle Ravage.

After having played with both I prefer the diecasts. They are more solid in their transformations. I transform them all the time without any issues. I love the weight and feel of it. It makes it less of a "toy" and more of a collector's item. The color is amazingly different too. It gives the figures a totaly cool effect in the paint that the plastic ones can't. I'm only Familiar with the RX-8 models though. I have no interest in any other except battle ravage (trying to get a Nemesis prime head for it) to finish off the piston side.

 

I bought the Red and white ones when they had just come out. Recently added Laserwave and Autorooper and another rotary to the collection. I'm waiting for the new repaint to come out so I can add it to the collection and get the white one out to join them. I dislike the KISS figure because the plastic doesn't fit ans snugly as the Binaltechs.

 

I Hope they change the head on the new silver version. The white version will always be the Jazz/Meister so we can only hope it's different. If not? well, thanks for the rotary toys. Harder and harder to come by these days.

If you're not kidding about the battle ravage I'll trade you. I have an alternator of the battle ravage.

... :wtf .. I'd hate to say it, but this is even worse than the Rollbar/Camshaft/Riccochet release..

 

err.. but I actually liked Riccochet enough to actually buy him... :redface ..

 

I can understand that.

 

Of those 3, I would rollbar, because: I can get repro labels and make him tantrum

 

Im planning on doing the same with my rave v1 alt and making it into the bird/halk predacon from predaking...

 

 

 

 

 

you know the one....

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: RAZORCLAW!

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
