    Maybe someone can help me with a little query.
    The Vortex 'Rotor Rage' set: what colour is the little dome piece that the black helicopter joystick plugs into? I bought a loose set which has several extra pieces in it for some reason and I have one yellow joystick dome and one sandy brown one. I'm assuming the correct colour for the piece is the sandy brown colour since the set doesn't have any (other) yellow pieces in it but does have plenty of the sandy brown. I just wanted to be sure before I give the remaining extra pieces to my niece to add to her Lego box.
    I did try looking for photos online, but of course the joystick assembly is always hidden inside the helicopter.

    Anyway, any assistance rendered would be appreciated.

    Thanks. I do have the instruction booklet with that parts list but the piece was depicted so small that even with my reading glasses on it looked slightly lighter in colour to my eyes. Think it's because the piece artwork is curved so the highlight on that arc is pale.

    Sourgatron - Check discount stores, like "Dollar General" or "Family Dollar". The DG near me has a Kre-O kit with both Jazz and Bee for $12. They only show the car builds on the boxes, but the bot pieces (including heads) are in there.

    Yeah, ive been down this battle changer hunt before and didnt have much luck so i'm a little skeptical to start again. I'd actually be more excited to find a Grimlock and a Shockwave then to find this new Megatron and Ironhide. You cant tell in the photo but i'd guess Ironhide is a repaint of Ratchet.

    Cool, she's a great little set. Hopefully there'll be other RiD sets as well.

    Starting a new project: a base (Ultimate Maximus) that could combine with Ultra Ginrai, my upgraded version of God Ginrai that could already combine with a new trailer/truck called Ultra Bomber. The combination is called Ultimate Ginrai. He's about a foot tall. This base has no individual robot mode, but it can also combine with Ultra Bomber to form Ultimate Bomber, some kind of companion to God Ginrai.

    BASE MODE

    Also made a new Kreon Bumble to go with the set.

    Thanks!

    I'm seriously running out of useful parts though, I need tons of different joints for my next projects (a trailer for my Primal Prime truck-monkey Headmaster and a tank powersuit for my G1 Megatron).

    I've got a bunch of different joint parts that I typically don't use. I'm typically building in a much smaller scale. PM me if you're interested. Maybe we can swap parts :D
