Binalteks?! Say wha?! It's Binaltechs!!! That's a Takara line. I would go with the Hasbro Alternator line personally. Same molds, but difference is you save 30-50 bucks. Reason for this is because you sacrifice the die-cast for an all out plastic figure by going with Hasbro.
I have some pre-Transformers figures, a bunch of G1 figures, and the other Transformers toylines that followed the all-time line. Many of those are boxed, and some are even sealed. I get giddy everytime I see these beautiful toys in their boxes, because the boxes themselves were beautiful to look at. Yet a collection isn't complete if you can't break open some to play with. Thus the reissue. Cost effective vs. the mark up of the original Diaclone and G1 toys on the secondary market. Granted even some of the reissues have reached stupid expensive status on the secondary market. Point is you need to be able to play with these bad boys, because what use is a Transformers collection if you can't fiddle around with them? No gay jokes please! Looks at Chase, P!tu, and Tyler specifically.
Transformers will and forever will be a dream toy among many young males and the most desired one of our childhoods because it was like you had your G.I. Joes and your Hotwheels lines all in one toy. From humanoid soldier to vehicle! How can you not be in love with that? The only more creative toy than the Diaclone/Transformers line is Legos! But the only reason I put Transformers ahead of Legos is simply because Transformers the toyline also came with two kick ass Saturday Morning cartoons, ones with an every envolving story line. They were well thought out and were expanded through our own vast creative minds back when we originally saw them. Granted I am referring to the first couple of seasons of G1 Transformers, the original animated Transformers theatrical released movie, and the mid 1990's Beast Wars/Machines! Everything else with the Transformers name, while so-so isn't worth mentioning for the most part. Just looking back at the R.I.D line, while it produced some kick ass toys like the Autobot car brothers and Omega Prime, it had one suck ass cartoon. Half of the Transformers balled their eyes out. Transformers don't cry!!! They are made of much sterner stuff! That and they would rust, since I am pretty confident they were made of high carbon based steel and not stainless steel. hehe
Transformers toy lines are solid Gold! What dreams our made of! You can't go wrong getting into them. The only problem is once you have, it can become a very expensive hobby. With so many Transformer toylines dating as far back as 1974 with the Diaclone series, straight through to the Movie line of 2007, that's 33 beautiful years of eff'ing toy magic! Not to mention, your wallet's going to hate you. Yet your inner child will be on Cloud No. 9! So who gives a flying f---!
In the end, there will always be new wallets and more money to come, because yes, money does infact come from trees, unless it's in coin form, but there will only be one inner child within each and everyone of us.
Let it be happy by giving what it wants! Screw that! WHAT IT NEEDS!!!
