    They should be re-releasing their previous limb-bots. This is a fine set, but people gave up waiting.

    I live in Europe so I don't know, but shipping is mostly reasonable. Try ordering a figure and see what the shipping is. I have ordered from him several times in the past and never had a bad experience. Very reliable and quick to communicate most of the time.

    Hmm, Hotspot and robo-racing coffee maid STILL not shown at Robotoybase or Terry's (where I have them coming from).


    So many tempting alternatives I'd love pick up, Cang Toys' Beasties, MS Motormaster, War Crime Prime, and on and on

    you can estimate it without a login, just put the item in the cart.
    They are pricey for shipping on single items.. But it you combine items, it makes it right.

    These guys are also available at
    bababobo00712 toy store
    Minus the motorcycle. You could reach out to them (very nice people) and see if they can find for you for a minor fee and ship together.

    Thanks!

    I will miss that too... Foam is better than plastic clamp shells... GT/TFM were known for their premium boxes.

    It's an indicator of a dying company taking one last breath :(

    I was going to say, given the extensive delays, it seems like this is probably the last thing we'll see from 'Generation Toy'.

    But part of the delays may also be that members have moved onto other projects/companies.

    GT is also TransFormMission and previously “Warbotron” before that. I don’t think this’ll be the last we hear from them.

    They released that uh … “nice” looking (>.>) chrome set of their Stunticon’s not tooo long ago also.

    They have the decency to at least release the last bot in spite of clearly dealing with financial problems too.

    GT will be missed, they produced some of the coolest pieces in my collection. :( 

    Gcreation seems to be following that same path too... That means no more MP IDW bots... :(

    There may have been some huge global event that seriously hampered a lot of operations, too.

    So I've hea

    The only “MP-MP” figure GCreation’s ever made was their Prime. Their Six Shot is the same size as MMC’s Overlord and their Prowl is the same size as voyager IDW/reformatted bots from MMC.

    Surely though if they’re out of the game, I too shall miss them.

    The same said about GT as well. Their only “MP-MP” bots being Prime, Megatron and Motormaster.

    Heard their T-Beasts were a bit of a flop sales wise, despite positive reviews. Think they were an experiment to find a new direction.

    I think IDW themed market is starting to dry up a bit (despite no one giving us Nautica yet, MMC!!!).

    15-inch stylized combiners seem to on their final legs, too with this and TFC Satan.
