I'd rather you get it done right, than get it done quickly.

 

This looks amazing @NATO-BOT I'd love to do a review on him on my YouTube Channel.

 

The more MP Unicron Trilogy figures the better. Gonna pre-order this guy once I finally have the money. Looks like my Galaxy Meteor won't have to be lonely anymore lol.

 

Is the CNC mill the "official update" discussed earlier or is there more news to be on the lookout for?

 

Was planning on more, but sadly that's all I got for the weekend. The milling is taking longer than I expected.

 

I'm not touching facebook so unfortunately no test program for me. I do like the look of saber though.

 

sooo...how's things?

 

Yeah it's about time for an update.

 

He said he had one prepped for TFCon back in July, but his computer fucked off so he couldn't. I agree though, I'm dying to know anything more

 

Been over two months since we last heard anything, is there nothing you can tell us still?

 

I got my money back before my PP coverage expired. Got tired of the "can't produce it yet but heres this mini figure, or this mini figure".

 

Seems like this project died before it ever got off the ground.  

considering the character and the line it came from. It's no surprise.

There's still a crap ton of G1 characters out there that need 3p toys as well that Nobody seems to want to touch so we can finally complete our G1 MP Collections. but... oh well it's cool I guess.

Good luck on finally getting this out. (whenever it comes) I wish it success. I truly do.

Then maybe you can move on to far more known and established characters, from far more popular Series?  

 

Never used PP, but I've considered getting my own refund.

 

I don't think it's the series that killed it, it's the company. This guy is brand new, has no real base. Let's wait until FansHobby's Armada Prime to decide on the "It isn't G1" verdict

 

Fuck this guy. I would get excited every update until they stopped. He updated right before the 6th month mark. I tried to get a refund from PayPal, but it was after that 6 month cutoff. He offered refunds, then said he didn’t have the money. There may have been good intentions initially, but that dwindled over time and expenditures with nothing to show for it.

A month later, still waiting on a refund.

 

I wasn't expecting this to come out in the given timeframe but I also wasn't expecting Nato to just run off with everyone's money. :/

 

well, he is online now, it would be nice you you asked him directly dont you think?

 

Hey guys, I'm sorry for all of the delays.

The honest truth is that I took a lot of time off from my other job as a concept designer/ prop maker to do this project. It didn't pan out. Long story short is I haven't had any money coming in at all (from any source) since December. I've been trying to do what I can to get stuff out, but none of the subsequent projects I've tried have sold anything, and it's very hard to make product if I can't buy materials.

I've been trying to get work for a some time, but the film group I usually work with hasn't had anything for me to do recently. They are starting a new film project within the next month, and I'm doing some concept and prop work for them now. I hope to start getting paid for that soon. I'll start issuing refunds to people who want them as soon as I am able. I'm going to try my best to get things going again as soon as I can, but I must say things aren't looking good for Satchel.

I'm very sorry for all of the delays and any hurt feelings I may have caused any of you.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,
-Nate

 

I wouldn't call it a ripoff. He stated very clearly that he needed to funds in order to get the resources to manufacture. It was a risk for everybody involved. Same principle applies to Kickstarter campaigns.
