But, both Takara n Hasbro's versions suffer from the chipping chrome? Or it's just a case on Hasbro's?

You're on crack my friend. I've had almost all of my TM's for 10 and + years now and the only ones that are screwed up are the ones that were defective in the first place: TM Rattrap and BM Ultra Jetstorm. Those two figs came from the factory missing the primer. I bought the BW 10th Rattap to replace my original and Jetstorm got some chrome leaf after I sanded him down.

 

And yes, I play with my toys.

 

The only difference between the Hasbro and Takara versions are the colors. Whether you figure chips or not is only relative to how you treat them. if you throw your toys around and treat them as if they're Tonka Tough, yeah. They're going to chip. If you TF them, display them, pose them... you're not going to have a problems.

I wonder if my TM2 Scourge suffers from a lack of a primer, as he literally molts chrome when you touch him. And he's the only one that has ever had a problem with chrome chipping out of my collection. The rest have some slight wear, but that's all.

 

also, cool pics:

Grimlock, bravest of Autobot warriors!!

 

Perhaps a little too brave? He takes on two of the most feared Decepticon commanders; Gigatron and Deathsaurus!

 

Grimlock shouldn't have a problem against gigatron, he might have a problem against Dezaras though, he was hardcore.

aaand pretenders too

No, I'm pretty sure that was a pretenders Starscream in that pic.

 

I can't imagine any other figure looking that ghey.

 

Great collection though

 

I'm still missing Cybertron Starscream. :tfsad

White Prime helps the Getters to carry their massive machine gun

I've recently been tempted to purchase Dezaras. He doesn't seem to go for very much or be terribly rare for that matter.

 

alright, so back when I first started posting here I posted a picture similiar to this (I think it actually haad less in it and was pre-classics) as the start of my collection thread:

 

 

And now....

 

 

I can't even fit all of them on the same shelf. I had to set this up in my living room.... ridiculous.

 

lol Waspinator.. :tflaugh
