    WIN!!!

    but i won't need it since i have the leader (i would love to try the leader hands but i never customised anything before and i don't want to ruin the figure)

    EDIT: i'll definatly get the deluxe add on set (but it's shame they need painting)

    Holy shnikeys! This looks phenomenal, fakebusker! And you even went above and beyond and designed the jet thrusters, and loving how they combine in bot mode and come apart to store in alt mode! How awesome is that? XD

    Really can't thank you enough for this and for giving us Screamer fans these wonderful add-on kits! It's very much appreciated, and now I wonder if I should get extra of these weapon sets for both Thundercracker and Skywarp now that the 3 Seekers are available as DOTM Deluxes.

    Your design work is definitely made of win, and I really look forward to seeing the molded Shapeways results! Thanks again very much!

    Curse you and your molding skills. It just goes to show that the toy industry is losing their passion for toy-making. What was the last masterpiece but a repainted Leader right? Or was it Rodimus?

    There was a longest time when your post was just "Curse you and your molding skills." and for the life of me I don't know how to reply you :lol 

    Thankfully you finished your entire post in time...I don't think the toy industry is losing their passion though. I personally know several toy designers, and you can see they are full of drive and energy.

    The saddening part is that market forces are much more powerful than any of us. That's what guides a majority of the decisions in the industry today. If you really want Hasbro to do what you want or come up with amazing toys with beautiful paint jobs, features, etc, be ready to pay a pretty penny.

    The last masterpiece is Rodimus, yes. That one was pretty impressive!

    Hey Ariel! I just got this set all painted and installed! Awesome job!
    Would it be possible to get close up pics of the weapons on the wings in jet mode? The pic in the first post looks like they've got slots different from mine...

    Oof...That is true. I've checked and those winged pieces indeed are different from my sample. I can't think of any reason why model file is different besides carelessness on my part or maybe Shapeways rejected my file a long time ago and this was the replacement.

    Nevertheless, thank you for bringing this up and to make up for it I'll be sending you replacement winged pieces. Can you PM me your delivery address and the material you got them in? Again, I apologise for this screw up...

    NOTE: This offer also applies to all who have gotten this set before and would want replacement wings. PM me with your order number, the material type you printed them in and the order date, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

    That's really generous, Ariel, thanks! It's ok, though,I got the set mainly for the hands, and I bet I'll be able to get those pieces to work out in jet mode...

    Alright man. I'm really sorry about it though. My offer still stands, if you still need those replacements I'm willing to send them out anytime.

    Best regards!
