    Now that would be nice. Have some clever decals though. There’s a lot of cool ideas you could put on the sheets. Just not too basic stuff.

    Agreed. I assume it has to be an inner staff poll or something like Facebook. They should put it on here or any other big tf website.

    And even that was instead of their earlier proposal for Guiltaur from that mold, which would have been AWESOME! I'm still so sad about that never happening, and I've said as much on their page.

    Thought it was nice to do it since it was a canceled Botcon idea. And none of us were lucky to win the only version of that set.

    I hope their potp Dreadwind set will at least have a faux cockpit for his chest.

    Optimus needs another set for the hood.

    It's like their Fort Max sets.
    It would be nice to buy some of the sheets separately.

    Toyhax is extremely allergic to doing what their customers actually want to buy.

    On the Reprolabels.com FB page, they're currently running a poll for Pyro: IDW, G1 or other source for inspiration

    It's because they've gotten a big head over their original sets. They think only they know how to make designs. Perfect example is their Generations Tracks set. Hasbro's Tracks came with these tacky tribal flames and Reprolabels had the perfect opportunity to fix this by giving us a classic flame shield for the whole, but they shit the bed with not one, but two original designs instead. Had to wait a year for Takara's version to give us the proper flames.

    I miss the Reprolabels that gave us sets for things like Classics Mirage, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker/Sideswipe and Prowl where they designed stickers that filled in missing details. Instead, all they do is try to see how many tacky 80's styled eyesore stickers they can cram into a figure whether it was missing key details or not. Cohesiveness is not in their playbook apparently.

    There are times when they’re style really works: I think their Titans Return Soundwave set is absolutely mindblowing, and the TR Laser Prime is absolutely perfect for that figure.

    Though, bringing up Laser Prime forces me to address the fact that in order to get those labels, you have to buy a like $32 set for all of Chaos on Velocitron. It’s the worst kind of anti-consumer thinking. It’s one thing when it’s like UW Computron, when it’s multiple figures in a box for a combiner, but Chaos on Velocitron? I barely care about Quickswitch enough to keep him let alone resticked him.

    Random ask, but for those from the US that have ordered recently, roughly how long does it take for orders to arrive? I ordered four sets during that sale a couple weeks back and they shipped on the 16th. It's admittedly been a looooong time since I ordered from them (before the site reboot and switching names to Toyhax), but I don't remember it taking as long as its taking.

    If it's relevant, they were shipped via the air mail option ($3.50?), though I'm already forgetting if any other shipping options are offered on the site.

    In my experience, it always takes a few days longer than I expect. I can get most mail from anywhere in the country in three-to-four days, but ToyHax envelopes seem to take an extra couple days. Still, 11 days is a long time, even with two weekends in there. If it's not in today's mail, I'd reach out. I've contact them twice and while the contact system is not intuitive, they're responsive and helpful.

    Didn’t they already do that?
