    I appreciate your trying to clear the existing preorders before taking any more on. When I ordered the parts in one order, I had the nightmare scenario of Maiden Japan scrolling through my head.

    I hope the placed orders can ship soon.

    This is good news indeed! Been chomping at the bit for my Superion hand, feet, and new antennae! Sounds like I could have them by the end of October.

    Just ordered a Battle Core Prime pending future Thunderclash kit. Its got the modified ratchets but damn Nonnef's made such a big difference for Motormaster I had to get another set.

    Plus the Blitzwing/Doubledealer shoulder pieces were out of stock last time I ordered, so I grabbed a pair for each this time.

    Thanks for keeping us posted on the status of the pre-order items.

    Yes, we are eagerly anticipating these items. Nonnef, don't let us rush you. It sounds like there has been some slight modifications to some of the items. Someone mentioned that you added some rubber bumperson to the combiner wars feet which would be great for posing them on slick surfaces. Thanks for keeping us all updated.

    Yes! Yes! That's why I'm currently taking a wait & see attitude on Nonnef's stuff (while watching others enviously installing their add ons).

    Eagerly awaits further announcement on this. :)

    Thank you for confirming the silver feet. I was struggling to make up my own feet with ankle tilts, and am very happy to hear that you are making ones that fit pretty much everything I want out of them. As others have said, I wish you luck with transitioning onto the new storefront and to not rush it.

    I just wanted to say that your products look amazing. Wish I could buy them, but I'm not signing up for Paypal quite yet.

    Design still isn't final. I'm tossing around a bunch of ideas, including rubber soles.

    Store isn't PayPal based anymore. Take all major credit cards.
    Setting up process for accepting arms and legs in the near future.

    Ha! Will I get extra store credit for a leg that has a titanium rod in it?

    This concerns me a bit - fees aside (which I don't mind paying) there's a certain ease of mind having my card/bank information stored in a limited number of places - if there's fraudulent activity it makes it a hell of a lot easier to track down where it came from that way. Not that I'm going to ever presume you'd deliberately do that, Nonnef, but you never know what could happen.

    I would imagine like most small online stores, it is all done through a reputable payment gateway. He wouldn't even have access to credit card data.

    It looks like he still offers PayPal Express Checkout regardless.

    Titanium is quiet valuable in my line of work. So normally I would say yes. However you'd have to remove your own appendages as it's a pain to cut and the extra cost of removal wouldn't make it worth it.

    Not sure I follow?
    The Credit Cards are processed by Stripe, and the money is transferred by them. I never see or handle any of the information.
    PayPal is enabled via PayPalExpress. Just processes as a normal PP payment. Again though, I never have a hand in it, it's all PayPal.

    On the previous storefront I could only accept PP because the entire cart process was powered by them. The new one accepts both.

    Sorry, I never meant to say that you had access to the credit card data - still too early in the morning to type clearly :)

    No worries, still only on my third cup myself. No heavy machines for me until at least my fifth!

    Nonnef, have you ever thought about doing an upgrade for MP Grimlock to make him taller than MP Prime? I know there was something similar by another third party but it was included with another figure.

    Can't wait to order a few of your products when they come back in stock.

    I do have a question on the Menasor Shoulder Lock. Is it simply to prevent the limb from popping out of the connector or does this prevent Motormaster's shoulder from flopping around when you rotate the limb?

    Looking at the preview images on the website, there appears to be a 5mm peg on the underside of the shoulder locks that tab in to the bottom of Motormaster's fists. Thus the shoulder locks prevents Motormaster's forearms from coming untabbed and having the fists folded over the combiner ports prevent the arm bots from detaching (a trick I use already).
