Well I've got to have a bit of fun with it lol. I was not expecting this work so well haha.

 

And there's those wrist pivots perfectly demonstrated. Nice.

 

Did you get the arm shells? If Motormaster isn't needed, I'm wondering if we can make Menasor without ANY of the cars. That would be awesome.

 

The youth MM preorders have just recently gone up...any rumblings on how long until the youth trailer preorders are available?

I’m itching to combine these guys but with the price of the trailer I figured I’d hold out for the trailer I really want.

 

I didnt get the shells but based on the pictures of them they only go around the outside of the cars and dont cover the roof area so the arms would look hollow without the cars there. For the Dragstrip arm the whole cockpit area and nose would be missing. It would probably leave an inch or so deep hole in the middle of the arm.

 

That engine block of Dragstrip ...... just hanging like that. Seriously?

 

Nice, this is like the pics being posted in the Arcee thread proving all the doubters wrong that it wouldn't be able to balance unaided.

Yeah definitely agree, looks pretty great without the shells.

 

Looks like Flipout will be reissued. Just saw a PO on Baba's site.

 

If it doesn't screw over Toyworld, Zeta wants no part of it. It is almost as if they don't care about making money, just underselling TW.

They can really nurse a grudge.

I'm kind of glad that it might work better without MM in there. Then I can display Gravestone in bot mode along with Roadking in alt mode in front of Menasor.

 

Backheavy as in he wants to fall backwards???

If so... this has Ditka written all over it. Unstable design... so XTB fix is to slap some big snow shoe sized heel spurs on him.

 

TFS-Express UK buyers of trailer and accessories!

My order has moved from paid 'pink' to shipping 'yellow'. Expect delivery by weekend folks!

 

I think Dr. Egg will sell like sh1t while Kup, Springer, and the trailer will sell well. If God Ginrai had also been out I don't think it would have sold well and would have made them reconsider. I think Protectobots are too far away to know. I don't think they will change their pricing strategy much and it is going to depend on how far along MMC Defensor and FT Defensor are when these come out. People may prefer those options which may make XTB rethink their strategy. I do think XTB is canceling out their successes for releasing this stuff so it does hurt their brand in the long run.

 

Nothing for me yet

 

I actually got a dispatch notice. Then a cancellation.

I held the postage, to combine with Locke and/or Spindrift v2, so they realised afterwards, lol.

They'll get to you soon I reckon.

 

Have my DPD notice, delivering Friday! Woohoo.

 

so basically those who now have the trailer, he can't really hold any poses besides an A-Stance?

 

XTB's facebook and the product promo shots on websites like BBTS say otherwise. One of the photos I saw he was balancing on one foot.

 

Looks that way. Upper arm has the engine block dangling and free. Lower arm has an engine sized gap.
Not the end of the world, but not ideal for a company that say they want to compete with Fanstoys...

My TFS order (paid-for trailer and accessories) remains pink! Hoping for Friday/Saturday delivery as it’s only Weds and I’ve already had a stinker of a week
