    Thing is if they can get a high price on ebay for all of them why bother with a direct sale.

    I think this kit is pretty cool. I like the new helmet for Cliffjumper and I really like the option to swap faces. The creator definitely went all out especially for a Classics figure.

    I agree with those who don't like the oversized nose on the face. It's really out of proportion with the rest of the work. Also, the helmet details seem a little smoothed over and somewhat rounded. The helmet details should have been sharpened more IMO.

    Damn, for $300 maybe I should remake my custom Classics CJ head with an all new helmet and improved face. Hmmm. This will definitely have to wait until I finish the new custom Alternator Stunticon head set that I'm working on.

    A couple days earlier, I stopped by the creator's site and at least a few locale forum members have picked up the stuff... I guess the creator doesn't really care about sales for foreign fans (us).

    Anyway... I looked at one of the picture.. the new face doesn't look that good.... I meant it is alright... but over time it has become less worthy in my opinion...

    The face isn't right. A nice idea, but a better job could have been done to be more G1 accurate, IMO.

    Ebay:
    I just got a notification from Ebay stating that the Cliffjumper upgrade kit auction was removed by Ebay for reasons that will remain private. I wonder what that is about?!

    Because only a handful of people that MUST have them will pay that price, most folks won't....I know I won't.

    Thing is the bidding got up to 355 dollars or something crazy like that...then it mysteriously gets pulled and no one wins the auction.

    Why would Ebay pull it?

    Well his ebay account is gone too so I'm guessing Hasbro complained about all the test shots/pre-release stuff he's been selling.

    great! I ordered stuff from this guy! I wonder if I'm actually going to get it now or if I'm gonna get ripped off again through ebay.
