    I do that. Sorry.

    Can you answer this. Is that snorkel a 3mm peg? Might work well with legends and Kreons holding it.

    The snorkel is, indeed, a 3mm peg.

    So you could do such things as giving the double barreled blaster to a Legends figure, or have a Kreon ride the Splatterpus like a bucking bronco with chainsaws!

    We expect photos of these things ASAP Trent!

    Dude, my Space Lego sets are a bit older than that, I was building the in the 1970s. You kids... I recently restored the cruiser I owned as a kid. Took forever to get the forklift and the printed bricks.

    How I longed for a Deep Freeze Defender back in my childhood... it's one of the reasons I loved the Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship! so much, since they look quite a bit alike.

    Back on topic, as I said in other threads, I'm down for a Splatterpuss.

    A lot of the Lego ships have that sort of general design

    And I'll give you points for Classics Space. But there's just something about Ice Planet that has that lasting impression. Probably the colour scheme. That neon orange is wonderful

    The biggest surprise on Mecheon's link is how low those prices are for Lego. They are obscenely expensive now.

    I still have most of the Deep Freeze Defender (lost a couple of the skies). As a kid I put it together so many times I actually memorized the entire thing. Interesting note, it was the first Space set with a female figure, and the Deep Freeze Defender flies across the sky of the ice track in the Lego Racing video game.

    Oh nice!

    I just pulled this set out of storage recently:

    I didn't have time to find all the parts but it was mostly intact. I checked it out a bit and then boxed it back up though. How do you go about restoring these things? Can you order the parts needed from Lego?

    How many BMOG-related threads are now active here? I've seen two today, this one and another kickstarter thread. Are these things really considered 3P Transformers?

    They're not, but this is the forum I've been plopped into. As I understand it, the forum rules are for one product - one thread, though I'd be cool with one news thread since it is a building system and everything interchanges. Not my call.

    One of the advantages of working with Nonnef is that translucent styrine is just as viable as ABS. We aren't ready to announce colors for the first release sets, but we've seen the interest in translucent orange. Don't worry. :)

    With your new manufacturing method will these still be on a sprue like the bear/manta or are you just supplying the three pieces?

    Will you be keeping the purple and GITD versions aside for a possible future PWTToo release or making those available now?

    Also, what's the sitiuation with the labels, which were probably the weakest part of an otherwise excellent BMOG launch. Are they any better? Will there be any with this small BMOG? Honestly on the last one I was happier with filling in some colors with a paint marker than using the stickers for things like eyes.

    You'd need a pretty forgiving definition of "third party transformer" to group this into that category. Sad to see nonef on this wagon now, he's done plent of good work already nd has more products released by himself than BMOG has, even fter getting kickstarted.

    My guess is they are considered weapons/accessories, not unlike Dr Wu (not exactly the same either though).

    Our plan is to stick with the kit-style releases.

    We are currently determining the first color-releases and are exploring decal possibilities. We will not be reusing the original decal vendor.
