It really has. Especially since they keep increasing minimum print sizes, making parts cost more and more. I'm hopeful a competitor steps up and in, but it seems unlikely. 3D printers, CAD designers, CNC, and 3D scanners in your neighborhood used to be a pretty good go to for local fdm prints.
Did a bit more painting on NBK M today, to finish off some of the black accenting. And, took some additional pics showing all 4 sides of the figure.
Recently I've checked various websites to see if the figure was still on sale. Not only did every single one of them not have it in stock, but on some websites, including Oh My Primus, pages for Megatron don't even exist anymore. The only place that still has it in stock is, strangely enough, an incorrectly named AliExpress listing. Does anyone know or have an idea of why Megamaster disappeared?
I've heard rumors that following that massive WeiJiang crackdown earlier in August, HasTak has really ramped up their fight against Knockoff companies which has caused several Third Party companies like Unique Toys to go into hiding for a while. This might be one of those cases.
the alt mode looks great in my opinion. I have a pic on the first page of this thread with Megs in his alt mode being held by my modified Genesis.
