    Thanks man, but it's ok :)  the shipping costs are atrocious atm. Sure I'm willing to pay $100 for a complete boxed one, but it's the shipping that kills the opportunity, but it is what it is. Thanks again for checking the shipping and giving me the opportunity to buy him :thumb

    The going rate seems to be the same from the beginning of release $129.99 usd ($175 aud) and doesn't look like it'll be getting any lower as they become more scarce.

    eh, ive found the lot going for $392 AUD plus shipping (would that be a good price for all 5 figures?) so i might as well just get that or wait for the legacy stunticons if i can't. for a commander and 4 deluxes its gonna end up as the same price anyways

    Yeah I just paid 130 for MM at the cheapest place I can find, which is that price pretty much across the board from China.

    I'm doing the currency translate from usd but you should be able to get them all for $340-350 Aud which would be an ideal price range. Try the websites of baba or terry, or ebay and you'll be able to get all 3 sets for that price.

    That's interesting. I see you're sculpting Dragstrip's shell as if you removed his fists... I took them off too - both from him and Deadend - but I was wondering if you would ever consider making simple square-shaped blocks to replace his hands and have that empty corner filled out.

    PS - After the longest stop at our customs, I'm gonna collect your back-filler today or tomorrow. Can't wait!

    If size and cost are your problem, I would wait.
    Think if you buy this you will be kicking your self over and over again, since you would like bigger bots.
    For us Legends collectors it was a no brainer, BUY BUY BUY.

    That's where the rear wheel goes. It's just not there yet.

    Ahh, you're right, I'm dumb. That's the whole car.
    To better understand what I meant, if you split Dragstrip's car-mode (for the standard Menasor configuration) and then you remove his hands, you'll see pretty much the exact same empty space, right at the end of the front half.

    My bad! ^_-

    Apologies for the double post, but NOW I can finally call this set complete!

    Stunticons.jpg
    These guys look absolutely amazing altogether, and watching this back makes me so happy.

    Menasor.jpg
    Menasor himself is a stunning figure, and I couldn't be more excited for MST Devastator.

    Now, I want to take a moment and say thanks once again to @NOCV, because this...
    Backfiller.jpg
    ...this is just brilliant. Perfect fit, and it looks phenomenal.
    Seriously, it could be easily mistaken for a standard piece of the set. It completes Menasor so so well. Thank you!

    And, finally, a word of advice as I've been seeing a lot of photos where they appeared to be mistransformed. I believe the two mushroom pegs on Dragstrip and Deadend are supposed to be flipped as per the below photo:

    Looking at this thread makes me miss my little desk combiner. I'm gonna have to bring it back to work.

    I might be willing to part with him, along with ms-b28.

    There's just one thing; they're in storage right now and won't be unpacked before half september, as that's when we get the key of our new house.

    He's in storage for quite a while, but if memory serves correct, he's complete with the unused dry rubs and instead of Buzzsaw, Laserbeak is included.
    Think about it and let me know if you're interested.

    I could kill for that backfiller from @NOCV :lol 

    Now in Spain, we have a LOT of troubles with customs, there's a new law, nothing can't be imported without taxes.

    Not only in Spain, the whole of Europe.
    We can only hope someone finds a loophole or a workaround for it...

    Does it add that much cost? I know international shipping is not cheap by any means, and I'm going with the lowest cost solution that I have available to me here.

    I hope you find a way to get what you want. It's always fun to me when I send something off to a far away country for the first time. Sometimes the buyers get a little extra something for being the first one there.

    For the record... My back-filler got stuck at our customs for weeks, but in the end it arrived to me unopened and not even taxed.
    I'd give it a try, @ManelFigures!

    maybe there could be an "international version" that actually has a hinge or a parts break that would allow it to be collapsed and sent in a regular envelope. that would definitely expand your market overseas.

    you can thank me later @NOCV for that little gem.
