    Leaders got marked down to 21 dollars in my Wal-Mart and the only thing we have are 2 skywarps. However for that price, I am strongly tempted. Skywarp is my favorite of the seekers and I am sure I can find a way to repurpose him. Whats everyone's advice?

    LOL. Agreed. It's a trap. You'll likely regret it right after you complete the purchase. I can't really think what you could repurpose that CW Skywarp mold into.

    I think its because I'm suffering plastic withdrawal from the drought in our area. I really need to put that 20 toward octone blitzwing and Or anything of TLK wave 2 and beyond...if I ever see these things....

    I got myself a perfect effects kit for Galvatron, now he looks more in scale to Optimus in combined mode.

    Quite a while ago i made a custom shoulder fix for Combiner Wars Defensor. It works with to screw-holes and the tabs on the front of the shoulders to prevent them from coming undone when rotating a limb. This v is the update on that piece.

    Time for an update on the shoulder fix! The images on my last post apparently didn't work, but i think i know why. Without further ado, here's what it looks like now! (sorry for the bad lighting and whatnot)

    [​IMG]
    In truck mode it can sit snugly atop the back where the ladder pivots. It sort-of pegs in. It can also rest on the midsection just under the pegged-in cannons. Admittedly I wish it could be stored better.

    [​IMG]
    It is now also a weapon!!! As you can see, I have added a 5mm peg to the piece so it can be used as a weapon in hot spot's bot mode.
    It has several different possible configurations:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    And of course, the reason it was made was to secure the shoulders. Now, to be fair, it IS possible for it to break off whilst in play. But you'd have to be moving the arms really fast and in opposite directions at the same time to really break it. I have strengthened it up a bit. Partially by enforcing it with some other pieces.
    [​IMG]
    As you can see, there are 4 holes in the back of it. These can be used to store weapons! Weather of the limbs or the core Hot Spot.
    [​IMG]
    So, there you have it. If i had the skills, i'd create this on some 3d modeling program and put it up on shapeways. This is still the biggest flaw in this figure and none of the 3rd Party Companies have made a fix for it. Hope you enjoyed this little update!

    I'm cleaning up right now. I have like 3 sets of Titans Devastator and I'm wonder if I should sell one that is still in box or the one that is used and then open the new one. What would be a good price for it or individual?

    I bought my 3 on eBay for 99.99 and free shipping. That's a misb cost...

    Take away 15 percent (10 percent eBay fee, 5 percent PayPal fee) and that leaves you with 84.99 for a misb price.

    Used, no box? If nothing is broken or stressed, you might get 70 shipped for it... If you are looking for much higher returns, stick it out - there's a sucker born every minute, and a fool is soon parted with his money. :thumb

    Add a nice full length skirt and you've got some real Victorion-era formal wear ;)

    I'm gonna follow the name on the box. Especially if the new combiners involve plugging Prime Masters into stuff.
