Please pm me to get on the list and after I reply, you can send payment, just to be sure the list doesnt get insanely huge. Please include your full shipping address with payment.

This is for preorders on the mod arm panels set. What you will receive is 2 resin cast arm panels. No fancy packaging, Im no FansProject, just a fan with the ability to cast up these pieces. I am still searching for a good paint match, but the final product will be cast in white urethane resin and hand painted, unless you would prefer to paint them yourself, price is the same.

PROTOTYPE SHOWN BELOW




Secondary Required Mod:


Please be aware doing this mod requires removing the bottom door panels from the original arm chair pieces by removing the pin, and then attaching those parts to the doors. I may do a video detailing the removal of these parts and installation of the new ones if enough people find they need instruction. Doing the mod allows for full normal transformation and Sam figure still fits in seat, although a bit tightly.

Here is the interest list i have so far from the build thread, if you are not serious, please let me know and ill remove you from the list.

those that have paid so far have been marked, the others have been pm'ed. Resin should be on order shortly. I found a good paint match, but testing a few other methods for coloring the resin without painting.

here is a sample piece (unfinished and untrimmed) with color matching cast with the resin, no paint.

Looks good

i really like what you have there!!
its looking really good!
but just a little question, or maybe me just wondering.
isent 30$ a bit much? i understand the time and materials and all but i mean HA Bumblebee is like 39 or w.e....just a bit curious there. but i wish you the best of luck!

im not fansproject or igear, im doing this myself by hand (and have a fulltime jopb, so im doign this in my free time), thats the cheapest i can do it for and not be a waste of time.

That color looks great!! Glad I ordered mine!!

You have to consider the fact, this is what is called a, "garage kit," meaning it's a small group (or a single person in this case) that is doing this whole thing. Hasbro is a huge company that can buy a lot of materials at discounted rates and sell products cheaper because they have the resources to do so (ahhh the beauty of mass production). The OP is kind enough to do a lot of labor and buy the materials on his own for fellow board members. So when you think about it, 35 bux is a decent price.

I think the price is alright, sure cheaper would be great but not realistic. Think of it this way, if you go on eBay and try to buy two of the Unleashed Bumblebees to get the two arm pieces, you would be paying no less than $20 each plus shipping, then you would have to modify them to stay on your HA Bumblebee and it wouldn't be as sturdy as one piece like these. All that is well worth $35. Plus, you’re supporting a fellow board member instead of an eBay scalper!

thanks for the support guys.
