First look at new TakTomy BinalTechs!

These really are not doing much for me, especiallty Arcee. More than anything this smacks of giving people another chance at these molds.

I would be interested in a Frenzy to go with my Rumble, but I bet it's red like the Alt. release.

Are these die-cast? If they are I might keep the preorders.. if they are plastic I'm going to pass..

I don't see any images...

<edit>... doesn't show up in news column... I see them in now in their native area.. d'oh.

anyway, canceling arcee and prime... for the same reasons as everyone else has posted.... More more to burn on classics, instead


I'm more interested in the "top right" mockup silhouette of the next binaltech..

They're plastic.

That's contrary to everything I've heard about them.

They're supposedly diecast.

Really, cause I heard they weren't diecast.

I thought the main difference between the Binals and they Alternators was the die-cast thing.

Meh, bring on some new stuff... this is just more of the same.

they have been confirmed to be die-cast. The only one that I am getting right now is that Bluestreak only because it is a exact replica of my car.

Beyond the approximate shipping weight according to BBTS (2.38 pounds/1.079 kg), I have not seen anything. But the other three are definitely die-cast.

Kiss Players = Plastic
Binaltechs = Die-Cast

BT-19, BT-20, BT-21 & BT-22 are Takara's continued release of Binaltech line, so they are supposed to be in die-cast.

Now that BT-22 Convoy's color is confirmed and that's the color I have been hoping for, so I upped my pre-order with BBTS to 2 now (one MISB one loose). I just did a quick fitting test on current Alt Convoy with the standard BT box, don't think it will do. So maybe Takara will adopt the BT-17's fishbowl packaging style again, and I wonder how the packaging art will be like.

Anyway I love BTs, and I just can't get enough of them, gimme gimme gimme more!

I'm a big fan of Alts/BTs but the big problem they always had was TOO MANY REPAINTS!!!!!!!

On a positive note, I do hope these do well and allow them to finally come out with new body styles.

If the prime is more red than orange I *may* be interested in him.
