Transformation is the right of all non-sentient beings...

 

I've been harsh on a number of recent Fans Toys releases the past 2 years. But this one I am completely in love with. Some minor nitpicks not worth mentioning, and I'm not loving the transformation. But I'm used to FT transformation. This one isn't bad though. I'm really happy with this one and feel like it was worth the price of admission.  

 

PEACE THROUGH TRAINY!

 

This is, of course, Knight Prime's picture. Didn't want to take credit for it, but I assumed it was clear I'm using the picture he took since he posted it two pages back.
Here's me crediting him, just in case.


Fly me to Cybertron
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, trainy, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

 

Received mine from TFSource last week and, while I thought he looked good from all of the photos leading up to release, having him in hand he is really something special. A real marvel of engineering and design.

 

I wonder who I'll be getting first....... Hmmmmm

 

Bbts used to be my go to back in 2014. Do they just order by row boat now to save money?

 

That could almost be a scene from The Wrong Trousers. All you need now is a penguin with a gun.

 

Will this do?

 

Close enough.  

 

I can only speculate, but my guess is they probably place the largest orders so they get theirs last...and they probably have their stock shipped via boat to boot to save on shipping those large orders...in other words, dead last.

 

I usually don't mind waiting but damn

 

I understand the frustration that this causes, but in case of buying from outside the US - where duties and taxes come into play - the truth is that they're much cheaper than other US suppliers. So if I can't get something from Europe or Asia, I know that BBTS will have a shipping price that won't be greater than the cost of the items themselves. I'm not joking with this. I wanted to support Toy Dojo several times owing to how well they treat their customers, but ti shipping price was just ludicrous. I don't blame them in any way, but I'm just highlighting that there are some benefits to BBTS's business model.

 

the exact situation im in right now.

 

Can anyone take a picture of Astrotrain riding Astrotrain?

 

Triple threat!

 

Awesome! But mathematically it's "Triple threat! (squared)"

 

Makes me regret selling KFC Octane. I bet FT will get to him eventually too.

 

TFS-Express have it on the Chinese site if you want it again

How do people typically orient his heels?

I have mine clear plastic down, as it gives a flat surface for his heel. Any other suggestions?
