    Never know until they're out, should be within a month or 2 for Sideload.

    That's all I got this time. Wasn't expecting to go that day, didn't have by other camera with me. Wasn't much TF related stuff.

    Here's a page from the WeiJiang catalog, new Dinobot repaints.

    I got one of those superions. The individual bots are incredibly simplified and have no arms. There a larger version of this job but with non simplified bots.

    Perhaps a Video will help - I would imagine the KO is quite similar only with some metal in it.



    Cool so where does that place Wei Jiang on the Dinobot count ?

    I am perplexed why no one has made a KO Slog yet - he'd scale up rather nicely I'd have thought.

    I don't think I am alone in liking the idea of being able to see an Overscale with metal off all the Dinobots from the same Manufacturer.

    --------

    Say Paul - any idea what is happening next with regard to the Mech fans Toys / Machine Boy overscale Legends class Transformers ?

    They seem to have gone a bit quiet - any one got any idea if they are doing more or if they've moved on to other things now ?

    There was an implication of a Possible Ghost Starscream for example. as well as other recolours - But I'm sure there would be some real interest in new Moulds - thought I'd hope they consider doing Dogfight & Viper at least.

    Are undersized UW Constructions feasible engineering-wise? I'd love to see the molds done in deluxe scale but the voyagers already use some tiny tabs to secure parts on combined mode.

    You kinda answered your own question... We discussed this quite a few times in the past.

    Unless it was simplified in many combining areas, I'd say no. Better to just get tfc Hercules or the ko of it for cw scale.

    Just received my $35 mp28. Other than the clear window and what appears to be sloppy silver paint over the sprew marks of the chrome pipes it looks ok.

    Anyone looking for the ko pe hands and feet, i got in 2 sets from ebay seller newday2015 in less than 2 weeks for $16.50 shipped each. he has multiple colors and imo these are way more stable than the real ones.

    Wish I'd grabbed the repro labels when it was $0.01 but I had no desire at the time to buy Hot Rod.

    I asked this in the main thread for the toys but thought it worth a mention here to - I just thought I'd ask to anyone who has the Machine Boy Powerglide overscale Legends toy to answer if they also get the Oversize Proectobots as I would be rather keen to know if he can be held in gun mode by the overscale Protectobots well at all ?

    Cool - I've been strongly considering a No 100% legit (Probably a KO) Starsaber too - I will be interested to see how you feel about it. I was thinking the money I'd save on the KO can justify buying a KFC Simba to use with it then.

    Oh and I kindly got a reply if anyone else is interested : #162 I got a reply in the Overscale Defensor Thread and yes OS Wei Jiang Defensor can hold Machine Boy Oversize Powerglide reasonably well in his gun mode.

    I just got off the phone with ebay. DO NOT buy from zhaoliang99666-5. They messed up my name, address, and phone number so I wouldn't recieve it.

    I just got scammed by them too. Looks like they've gone bad, 27 negative feedbacks I the last month. Fake tracking #, no response to my messages.

    Yes and I want it now. We know they have finished Sideload and Expressway. I think it is just about production at this point. Well worth the wait. I got the other four MISB when I realized how hard it was to find these. Didn't cost me anything extra. My luck new boxes are crap quality which only makes it easier for people to want to throw them away. I believe Expressway will sell for $20-25 but I am curious about Sideload. I could see him going for $40 or maybe its the same.

    Yeah, I think the impact of the Bayformer blockbuster movie franchise must have been pretty big in China. But I was even just pointing out that they haven't done the G1 deco repaint versions of those AOE Dinobot molds... similar to the ones released in the Hasbro 5-pack. If they did those (especially oversized versions), and included the alternate headsculpts from the 5-pack, I'd be all over them.

    Yeah, I didn't buy, but I had a lot of those sellers on my watch list. I noticed that a few of them seem to have abandoned ebay after scamming a LOT of customers by shipping out trinkets instead of the Transformers items listed. Wow.

    Hope you guys can get your refunds without too much fuss!
