The $200 a year max is completely stupid for a collector's survey. Especially when they have a question asking how often you buy TFs and the options range from a few a year to a few a week which does not correspond to $0 - $200 per year.
Its not working for me, I get to answer question 1 and its like "THANKS FOR DOING THAT, SUBMIT?" EDIT- I smell bullshit, I entered older ages (not the 16-17) and the survey will let me move on, do I not count just because I'm seventeen or what? C'mon. DN
SEXIST!! It asked if I was male or female and then said "thanks for your help!" it only let me answer 2 questions!
Hasbro you bunch of sexist bastards! Q2 are you male or female? Enter female - thank you for your help enter male - oh here let me ask you more questions What the hell? Yeah coz girls can't like transformers at all. We can't have had any transformers when we we younger we must have all been about barbie and my little sodding pony. I'm Female, I'm 32, I had transformers when they first came out
apparently we're not worth of hasbro asking....and I've been sculpting in the toy indusrty for 10 years...my opinion must be worthless because I'm a girl.
I had to lie too. I am a teen, but I consider myself to be just as much of a collector as the older folk. Should've included everybody, but I provided my insight. Can't believe I spend over 200 bucks a year :O
Well, being a long time male collector, I didn't have to lie. I like the survey, but I wish they made a contest/sweeps out of it. Anyway, I agree the survey sux for female TF fans. Sorry Hasbro treated you gals that way.
I also had to lie about my age, but I'm 18 in less than a couple months so it's not that big a deal. Yeah, $200 is way too low a max on that survey. I don't buy that much, but I spend way more than that. I also had a little trouble when they asked how you collect based on character or vehicle. I really collect more on toy quality than anything ,sure I'll buy a toy of a character I like right away, but if it's a really good toy, it could be wheelie for all I care. The question on whether or not you buy whole lines or not was a little tough for me, too. I'm completionist on some lines, classics, but most of the time, I'm not.
Cool. I was a bit shocked at the 'how much per year' question since it seemed aimed at adults. $200 is a figure we tell our wives, while in reality that is just a fraction. I feel so ashamed.
I just completed the survey, and I must say that it's one of the better product surveys I've seen - although the $200 upper limit is somewhat bizarre. I am not 100% sure on the exact figure, but I'm pretty certain that I've spent at least $1K on TFs this year, and I know I'm a fairly small collector.
I'm pretty sure the $200 a year being the max is mainly because they don't want you really thinking about how much you're spending on toys. Hell I'm going to spend $200 this month! I think I mentioned Alternators at least 3 times. Maybe they will get the hint. I also let them know that Classics and Universe are not the same line, and that I DO NOT buy the re-tool re-paints from universe. Those lines really should be seperated.
Just did it. This is at least the second survey I've filled out for them. I mentioned RID at least once, so maybe they might get the hint that there are people out there who are RID fans, and would like a nod or two, and some more in Universe while they're at it. Edit: I'm probably one of few people who doesn't spend $200 or more on TF's per year (almost there, but not quite yet).
I too lied about my age. I'm actually 14 but I ticked the box in the 18-24 age range. I consider myself to be as much a collector as the older folk over here.
Good survey, filled it out in full... Was it just me though, or when it came to the question about where you buy your figures from, it didn't have an option to click "Other"? No matter what, you had to pick one of the options there, as well as fill out the text. Weird... If you're gonna participate in a survey, why lie? Who does that benefit exactly?
They don't want my input. Too old I guess. shut me out instantly. so I tried 25-30, took me to the next step, checked female, they still don't want it. Bah
