AtomicCEO Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I never really collected these as a kid... but were they always so hard to do? I've had brain teaser puzzles that were easier to figure out than this thing. The one we picked up for my son looks like a silver Pontiac or something. Even reading the directions, this thing took me 10 minutes to get from a car to a robot... and I don't think I had it right. Lots and lots of fiddly little bits and things that have to rotate in obtuse ways and click into other parts. This is far more difficult then I remember them being as a child.

REZ Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 They have degrees of difficulty on them. 1 is the simplest (basically push a button and up pops a transformer head) to 5. anything more then a 3 I won't get 'cause it takes forever to do them.

Dangit... this one is a 3. I didn't even see that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 We got one for my 6 year old son a week or so back. I was appalled at what a piece of junk it was compared to the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, my kids are playing with mine from when I was a kid. Megatron is actually metal! except for the gun barrel, which still baffles me to this day.

AtomicCEO Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Apologies to TimC... on further inspection, the logo is clearly for a Corvette... not a Pontiac. Edited July 12, 2009 by AtomicCEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hmm, I wonder if my parents still have mine hold up somewhere. The old ones weren't hard but I really haven't seen any of the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
