    Robotoybase has both, but with the extra shipping cost, consider comparing eBay prices:

    MakeToys MTRM-13 LIGHTNING
    Maketoys MTRM-12 SKYCROW

    No matter. I fixed it myself.
    Scratch built and paint a whole new head neck adapter , combine @godaiking 's part with the neck connection from original meteor , use plaplate to build the neck. Painted using lacquer mr.hobby.

    What site has the first three in stock?
    Will a reissue pin the nones like Dirge and Sunstorm?

    Just be weary of paying resale prices. They’re the best seekers I’ve seen in MP scale but still not amazing.

    Not sure if there’s a trick but I have a lot of trouble getting mine to stay standing, so while they have a heap of articulation it’s kinda useless.

    Had a couple of dodgy parts with my set also but Robotoybase and Maketoys are sorting me out (still on their way).

    Where would I look into getting an adapter for the MP44 head?

    Looks like there's a Meteor reissue coming very soon (says December 2019). TFS-Express has it for pre order.

    MakeToys MTRM-11 Meteor

    Wonder whether this is to up the cashflow to help get the two remaining Coneheads out?

    Isn't that the same retailer that claimed some sort of MT inventory theft? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

    Yeah, it appears that they were expecting delivery in the two weeks after I posted that message (it said due in December, much like MP Hound did), but MakeToys have not delivered the inventory because of the theft.

    Not sure what to make of the story itself, but there we go...

    Did you have issues with the wing fillers for Meteor that came with Endgame? My left filler doesn't attach at the top, feels like it is warped or something. Do you recommend doing the hot water treatment?

    Probably best to post pictures. Mine fit fine, and I haven't seen or heard of warping with them. If anyone else has it, or one of our modders want to offer an opinion, they'll want to see what the issue is

    Thanks, I'll take a pic of it later and post it here or I can just glue the whole thing permanently.
