    Well, in a way, he did go dark. Since he didn't have any power. :confused2 

    Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated.

    I haven't bought anything recently, but it's good to know you're well and getting back into your groove despite hiccups/twists of fate. Hopefully no more monkey wrenches get thrown your way... at least for the next while.

    It's good to know you're doing okay and things are getting back to normal in your world. :thumb

    Fingers crossed that you're back up and running soon. I've sent messages about an issue, and still haven't heard anything back. Getting just a little worried.

    I just bought some of your stuff for the first time and will probably end up getting more. I hope you're doing alright, you're doing great work!

    Thanks for the update. I'd actually been waiting for an order to ship since the 9th and was wondering what was up. I give small operations like yours a lot of slack and I didn't want to bother you, but I did finally send you an email. Looks like you got my order out now, though. Hope you don't have too much trouble getting caught up with your other customers.

    Someone made some double rear wheels for Laser Optimus -but they look kinda dumb but with JRC's offering fenders that over all look would be much improved I feel.

    Still trying to colormatch Nightprowler, not going the greatest. Just want a bit more time try and nail down a better color than I currently have.

    Love your work! Do you know when you'll have more copies of Skywarp's null rays?

    Do you suppose that, just like the Tracks hold-together-the-fender clamp, you’d be able to make one for Studio Series Optimus Prime (44)?

    Definitely in for a set of Laser Prime leg upgrades. I wonder if something could be done with his head so it wouldn't always be slightly tilted upwards and slightly too far back.

    I'll have to see. Mine is the same way, drives me crazy, so it might be something I would be interested in making.

    I have the first prototype of Sludge's sword done. Hoping to get it finalized this weekend, and hopefully ready for sale by next Friday.

    Looks neat!

    How are your Sludge's limbs? Several people here have reported weak ratchets, just wondered if you had experienced it and had any ideas for a fix?

    There's a fix already.
    Heavy/Scratch: - Various mods (of mods), custom stuff
    But really it isn't at least for the knees weak ratchets, it's more so just the pawl (piece that goes into the ratched notches) is too far back in the leg and barely touched the notches.

    A suggestion, if I may: a 5mm peg on the side of the hilt so Sludge can easily carry the sword in dino mode?

    Yes! Weapon storage is huge to a lot of people and often a deciding factor when there are several options available.

    I actually fixed mine by sort of stretching the ratchet part out a bit, and then heating it up, seems to be holding up so far, I did the same thing to my Scorponok a while back and haven't had any problems yet. I made a tutorial for my method.

    Sludge sword will be going up a little bit later, and I have also finished the Apeface shield, so that should be going up alongside it. There will also be a new section on the site for "last chance" kits as well. The kits that I am ready to start getting rid of today are the Beast Megatron Toothbrush, the Hot Rod Fishing Rod, Cyclonus' Sword, and the Machete.
