[Godmaster]

Dun tink so the race queen can transform ba... :laugh:

But i hope the race queen will look chio thou.... =))

[Stunner24]

I on't be surprise if it turns out to be microman version =))

[Cloudimus Prime]

Microman can fit inside Binaltechs meh? I thought Microman mold is bigger than Stikfas, and Stikfas can't fit in.

[Cloudimus Prime]

News from yesterday at TFW2005, I wonder why no one post. B/W images of upcoming BTAs! They confirm the molds used. I'm surprised they're using the Scion so soon.

[Urahara_Store]

Yupz U-Toys and the big shop at the end of the corridor sell $50 each but there is a stall near Justin's selling $46 each.

[LoneWolf]

toy industry no hope liao? Stuff really getting cheaper, maybe i sld convert to a collector instead:(

[Stunner24]

Didn't buy any BTA. They're repeats of BT's :(

Heard that some of the BTA's kena scratched :(

Meaning QC not pass?:question:

[rookiyong]

Meaning QC not pass?:question:

I think its the way it is produced. Paints on metal is very nice, but once scratched its very heart pain. Can buy, but only for display :|

[meow]

you are already a collector lah boss......:D

[Urahara_Store]

Ppl, fyi BTA 1,2,3 going at $40 each at CSC if anyone interested.

[des_yeo03]

Cheaper than Alternators.....:duh:

[Godmaster]

I tot the BTA price hit rock bottom when it was selling at $50..

I was proven wrong when the price dropped to $45..

I tot tat was again the rock bottom price for it..

Yet i was proven wrong again when it hit the $40 mark yest..

I tink this IS the rock bottom price..

Will i be proven wrong again this weekend?

:laugh:

BTA-3 Broadblast - Binaltech Asterisk figure review

[Jankdev]

It is Ex..:bang: Btw, BTA-04 is Black Convoy



*bro i edit away the quote in this post cuz i moved some posts over to this thread..*

[Marky]

BTA-04 is Black Convoy

Really!!!!! This i gotta get..

[[soundwave]]

How true is that?:thinking:

[LooK]

Tout is juz speculation?? Might oso b a brand new line for the black convoy rite??

[Marky]

Tout is juz speculation?? Might oso b a brand new line for the black convoy rite??

Even so... i still hope for a new BT to come out.. got the whole set liaoz.. but no new ones then also never buy anything..

[Asteroth]

BTA-04 is black convoy? I would speculate that its a black dodge ram.

[meow]

a die cast dodge ram would be nice :D

[Cloudimus Prime]

Btw, BTA-04 is Black Convoy
Erm, it's just about as true as BT-17 is Ginrai. It's not speculation, it's old news. BTA-04 and BT-17 got cancelled a few months back.

But that's how we speculate the new Transformers Kiss Convoy is a Binaltech. Transformers Kiss Convoy is listed as "Convoy x Melissa", which is in the same style as Binaltech Asterisk, with Melissa being the human driver. BTA-04 Black Convoy was originally listed as "Black Convoy x Melissa".

And yea, a binalternator Black Convoy is naturally a black dodge ram. It's possible that Hasbro is planning to release a Alternators "Nemesis Prime", which would look something like this:

Quite cool looking...:) Any BTA collectors here?

[Cloudimus Prime]

There's only 3 BTA to collect, making it the easiest Takara series to complete haha. Somemore it's still only $150 to complete all three.
