Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

As someone who isn't going to get either as I'm not collecting Siege, the box set looks much nicer. And the extra parts in camera mode make it.

Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

If it is within your budget, get both.

I got the Reconnaissance set, but haven't opened it yet. All the photos & video reviews look really nice though, but I still really like the G1 cartoon colours.

Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

I got both to put the box set add-ons onto the all-purple camera. I have more money than sense.

The individual releases were fine for me

I was thinking the same way, but as I'm in photography, the idea of this set kept pulling and I have to think "if I skip this one, will I regret it", regardless of the serious overpricing on this figure (as it's really much smaller than all other deluxes), but as it appears to be jumping off the shelves, with a single one left at my local ToyRus, I cracked.... but once in hand, I've been playing with it all day and it's a really nice set.


While I understand that some do prefer the purple cartoon version, for me, I simply find this set so much better. Having different colours really makes it more spiffy, gives it more personnality, and th colours are really nicely done.


And on top of that, you can find alt modes that makes this set beyond just the camera mode.

Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

The individual bots if I can. The box set looks cool and I like the add ons that really give it more of a professional camera look, but I prefer the cartoon colors as it's what I'm more familiar with.

Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

The 3 purple release ones. I much prefer those colors. Id like to have the camera add ons, but Im not buying the box set just for that. Im sure 3rd party will whip up something eventually.

Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

I bought the 3 pack from Tru and I bought a hasbro refraktor from amazon USA and 2 takara for cheaper than Canadian retail and less annoying than having to hunt down 3 at Canadian retail as they're only 2 per case and everyone us looking for 3 of them.

Re: The Refraktors Dilemma

Since I'm going for screen-accurate representation, I got three purple Refraktors.
