    Why do you say that? They're doing another run of Brawn. If they think they'd sell them, why wouldn't they make more?

    I dunno about all of this either...I don't think it will go on forever, but it'll go on as long as it's still profitable...and I don't think any of the Ark carbots are a stretch.

    ^^^ Agree 100%...!!!

    While Badcube's offering has good QC I just don't (personally) like the design.

    ...not knocking SS in any way, it's just not my cup of tea.

    Not sure why you are so adamant about the MP Line from TT ending at 40. Not sure how you come to that conclusion at all. I willing to bet you that it goes beyond 40.

    My Propose bet to you, if MP line goes past 40 and they make MP-41, you buy that for me, whoever that may be. If at any point from now on, if TarakaTomy releases a statement saying they have creases and will end the the Masterpiece line, I will buy you the last Masterpiece release. Example, So say if the line ends at MP-34 and TT makes that announcement, I will buy you whomever MP-34 is. We know 31 is Delta Magnus and 32 is Optimus Primal. 33 is likely gonna be Inferno. Mirage has been teased so maybe he will be in between Inferno and Grapple.

    We've received our shipment of Spinout finally. Despite the long delays, I am pleased to finally see this piece come in. However, I'm sure you've all likely seen the info that some of our fellow retailers have put up, stating that they don't feel this product is up to par. I've opened one of these myself, and feel that the toy is decent enough, but definitely lacking in some of the expected rigor in assembly. While I would hardly call these a disaster, I also acknowledge that these figures may not be quite as high-end as you were expecting for the price and the market these were aimed at. As such, the price has been adjusted appropriately.

    E-mails have been sent to everyone who purchased this figure outlining your options, which do include canceling your order if you don't feel comfortable with receiving the figure. Please check your e-mail and reply by Sunday night!

    Please bear in mind that returns on this item will not be accepted, however, we will support your purchase with replacement parts as necessary for as long as we are able to provide them or obtain them from the distributor. As these figures are not sealed by the factory, I will also be giving each piece a brief once-over before shipping to try and catch any obvious issues before you receive it.

    Dude, FYI I e-mailed Badcube a few days ago and they said they will re-release Sunsurge next year and hopefully it will be sooner

    BC is re-releasing SS, just like Wardog, that is nonsense.

    The MP Mirage thing was from a tweet by benscollectible. Speculation of course but Inferno is definite already. MP Grapple is likely even if speculation at this point.

    I brought this up for my proposed bet with Mr. luckyman76 who is so adamant about the MP line ending at 40.

    I didn't mean any ill will to anyone in this topic. I just mean the speculation thread in general is .. Well, generally bullshit. Because random dude from anytown USA knows what a Japanese company is doing in Japan.

    "Sean's cousins sisters brothers mothers dog said Megatron 2.0 is coming out soon!"

    And then 3 years pass, and an eventual (and was always probable) Meg's 2.0 comes out and they say, "see! immawaitfortakaraâ„¢"

    The only time I think anyone has ANY inkling whatsoever, is if they know a factory worker in China or someone who owns a factory and gives them little tidbits.

    I agree. No ill will taken. I just don't understand why luckyman76 is speculating that the MP line to end at 40. Back on topics, this thread needs more in hand pictures of Spinout, good or bad.

    Read the last few pages, there are a few of us.

    I even paid for Sunsurge in January at tfsource.

    Asked for a refund. It wasn't right for me.

    Even Thew jumped ship after his positive review.

    Called Sunsurge "rubbish". Lol

    I don't buy from you regularly, but rather TFSource... but that little tid bit of dealer info and shown support for customer service is top notch and makes me reconsider my original purchasings options quite a bit.

    Y2K MAN!!! Y2K!!!
    (or 2012. Take your pick.)

    I don't think I've been looking forward to ANY video review EVER!!!
    Even when I heard we were getting MP scaled Dinos, and Scoria was first reviewed. I think I've been searching for "Omnigonix Spinout" on Youtube probably every 15 mins! Sad, I know.
    This is pretty much the opposite of what Gigapower (and to a degree, Cubex) did with their first release. Giga went from having a decent concept figure, took fan feedback and improved it greatly from the original design. Cubex did the same, with the updated head and hands, but fell short because of factory qc. Both weren't perfect, but when you tease a figure that a lot of people praise, you really shouldn't release a figure that has been downgraded. Still curious if the people who are good at customizing figures are going to get this and attempt to put in the side vents. I'd love to see what people come up with.
