owning both takara and hasbro Masterpie Prime..

[southpaw]

i picked

takara in truck and hasbro in robot..

better chance of keeping my takara pristine..

thats what i did with binaltech and alternators smokescreen..

[NSJ23]

If I was going to buy both I'd keep my Takara In robot mode and the Hasbro in Truck mode. But I don't think I'm going to buy the hasbro one unless it goes on clearance later in the year and I don't see that happening.

[UN Spacy]

I'm gonna wait for the Hasbro version to be on clearance price. Since I already have my Takara version sitting prettily (in robot mode) on the shelf I am one happy pappy.

I don't have any reason to go out and GUESS when they'll be widely available in the Bay Area.

[Angel's Fury]

Out of curiousity, which version is better, Takara or Hasbro ?

[Mr.Sci-Fi]

Takara by far.

I would love to see your soldered Prime ..Mr.Sci-Fi...specially if you do it like the how prime got beat up in the movie..

You could always go Takara in box, Hasbro out.

That wouldn't work for me. I'm not a MISB collector, and I don't like the look of the Hasbro. The damage is not that bad but the short stacks bug the hell out of me.

That's good, But per amazon.com it would be a $20.00 bill not a pile.

By not buying the hasbro you would save four $20 bills, or 80 ones, or 16 fives, to make the actual stack of cash.

I only bought the Takara. I don't really want the Hasbro too.

He is in static robot mode.

Huh? I thought the Hasbro was going for $70.00, i got my takara for $97.00 shipped (I know on-line sites are now marking up the price) but it's not $80.00 more than the Hasbro. is it?.

[Anubis]

oops, put only instead of not.

Hasbro's going for 70 somthing.

I paid 97 for my Takara too.

I don't want a battle damaged prime.

Ok, I get you. And I agree 100%

The hell with Hasbro. I like the takara stuff all together. Why do you think I buy their G1 re-issues? I have 3 Takara Primes. Hasbro wants to neuter the stacks, let them. Why? Because I am not buying them. I am satisfied with what I have. Of I course I have 3 of them.
