looking good! I cant wait for these to come in!

 

Yeah, Shapeways is cool but definitely not for everyone. I don't like that you have to paint them yourselves and the texture is not that great. Better suited for Radicons.

 

Holy crap! These look infinitely better than the renders... Sidecutter, if I decide to order the exclusives from you as well, can you combine the shipping with my other order?

Also, stupid question: are there any stores that have Needlenose's Nebulons or any of the Autobot double Targetmasters? They seem to be missing...

 

If you need to do something like that, it can be set up, just drop me an e-mail using the contact form.  

So far no one has asked for those as an exclusive, but they're certainly not out. I believe there may have been some discussion with TFCon for next year, but I don't know what the results of that might be. I might pick up something like that after the current round if the demand is enough to make the production of them work.

 

these look great

 

They'd probably sell better if we had classics versions of those characters.. If the rumored Botcon Spinister happens, you should sell out of his Nebulons pretty quick.

 

These are looking great!

 

After thinking about it, TFC should remold the Hercules Scrapper, Mixmaster, and Long Haul (can't remember all the TFC names) into Scoop, Quickmix, and Landfill... I'd buy em!

 

I wanna order from captured prey but i don't want to pay up front for something that is coming out much later!

 

I do understand the concern...unfortunately it would be very easy for me to be ruined by people not paying when the time comes, because we're stuck with accepting the stock, with very rare exceptions to that rule, even if more than half the orders never pay. And a LOT of people did that the last time it was tried. I just don't have the scale of cash flow that allows for that risk.

What I do offer, to help balance it, is a pre-order guarantee. You will get the item, and if for any reason I cannot provide it (because to be fair, there have been a very small number of times, less than five, where I have been shorted on stock of an item due to under-production) you will get a 100% refund of the order total. Obviously, that requires trust, but I would hope that my reputation here as an honest seller both as a shop and with personal pieces sold would provide a good basis for that.

 

How many distinct molds are there exactly again?

 

How do you want to define distinct mold? Because that's a very hard question to answer with these. There's at least two versions of every core body part (head, chest, back, hips/thighs, shins/feet, shoulers/upper arms, forearms) to choose from, which can be combined in a large variety of ways. On top of that, there are a large number of additional gun barrel choices and weapon parts, and I believe even some optional non-traditional weapon parts may be on the molds, so there are a LOT of possible unique combinations even before tossing color in.

 

Well... I ordered the 4 pack, which are all different enough I suppose to consider "distinct" even though yes, there's two core bodies between them. Was just wondering if the 2 and 3 packs had any other variety, aside from the paint jobs of course.

 

On top of that, the shoulders/upper arms and the shins/feet are reversible, giving the illusion of four versions.

Besides the builds being from different parts, they have the different barrels Sidecutter mentioned.

 

I see... thank you for the responses guys. Hope I can (eventually) grab the other batch of them at a later time... course since they're still preorder, might have the time/money by then. XD

 

I love the fact that the barrels of their weapons modes are ACTUALLY weapons FOR the lil guys. Always made me wonder why that never happened in the first place..  

 

So is Bolt Action going to be able to attach to the new Rodimus's engine?
