There's some decent questions in there, I liked the one about what we consider most important about the packaging. Boxart is cool and definitely essential, as are robot mode pics--inaccurate as they may be, they do give me, personally, a little help when occasionally debating figures in the store. Vehicle pic is not so important because...well, it's 'right there.'

Is there anybody who will buy a TF solely for the vehicle mode? I mean, the robot mode (and that may have been what they were going for with "character") is important, but I can't see someone buying a TF character they don't like because of an altmode.

Question 6:
What prompted you to begin collecting Transformers toys?

My answer:
I like vehicles and other similar things that transform.

It's true!

For question 7, I also had "other" and said Titanium Series 6" figures, Star Wars Crossovers, & Marvel Crossovers.


Thanks for the 411, I posted it in the news.

My answer to that question consisted of something like, "Intriguing and fun designs, expansive and deep mythos, great characterization, and 'giant frigging robots.'"

I started with TF before there was any characterization or mythos, so I couldn't say that stuff. Truth is, I loved Gobots before TF (because it came out months before), and I loved MASK after TF. I just like stuff that changes.

I will take a look at this. Last time I tried to fill out a Hasbro survey, the slow loading time and idiotic confirmation questions made me give up.

This one is very quick and the questions are fairly normal.

Yeah, I filled out that one at work the other day. Be interesting to see if Hasbro have anything to say about the results.. Perhaps we should ask them in a future Q&A.

A few of the questions could have more open-ended answers. (I would really have liked to specify that I appreciate *smaller* packages for toys, both to reduce waste and to make transporting them easier.)

And, I notice there, thus far, does not see to be an option for "customzing" figures as a reason to buy them.

-is taking the survey now.

I'd have liked to take this opportunity to mention that their theft-deterring packages actually make me more likely to buy secondhand. They're a bitch to open without a knife, and I don't keep knives at work to open toys.. Plus, box-shaped boxes. What's wrong with box-shaped boxes? I can understand that weird ones will catch the eye in stores, but the movie and cybertron releases are especially annoying to store and keep intact.

I gave boxart big props.
