    Got my delivery today from TF-Express. These guys seem very loose out of the box. The null rays are beyond tight and impossible to move on and off.

    Sand the pegs on the null rays a bit.. can’t hurt to add a dab of shock oil or something similar too.

    decided to tweak the covers i designed a little more today to extend the side arches back more to cover the gap on the inner portion of the vents as there's a exposed hole when you tilt it forward. :)

    I can't imagine getting these for only $55. I just bit on Starscream from show z, as I've moved from the original masterpiece mold to the mp11, and currently have the maketoys set. If I actually like screamer, is there any chance of a reissue of tc and sw or a seller with them at the sub-$100 price?

    Well, it's very complicated but thanks to your video I didn't think it was that bad. To be honest, all these new 3rd party Transformers are pretty ridiculous to transform. I gotta be honest, I won't attempt to transform any of these figures unless I watch a video. They're way to expensive to take a chance on breaking something.

    I'm hideously late to the party for these but ordered Starscream from show z just now + the wing fillers as I want to compare to the MP52 version. How easy is it to track down the other two? I've seen there are a lot on ebay that are pricey but AliExpress supposedly has them but I've only bought off there once or twice ever. Any suggestions please? (besides the flack for not getting any of them sooner :D  :D  :D  )

    If they're anything like the DS Blaster, every time somebody mentions a price, it'll be lower than it was the last time somebody mentioned a price. At this point people are basically saying they got DS Blaster for free and ShowZ paid them to take it.
    Which I only mention because I've never seen it for as cheap as a lot of people seem to have gotten it for, either from chinese retailers or otherwise, and am FOMO-ing at the mouth about it.

    Show.z not only paid me to take it, but Abby offered me a bonus mail-order bride!

    God I'd rather just pay the 129.99 from a US retailer for Recording Alliance because that will always be cheaper than another bride.

    i got a request for a set of these, so i checked out what i could do with getting grey ones done. i don't own SW or TC so had to go by SS colour. found some grey though not perfect, it's a fairly decent match to SS grey. ever so slightly darker, and closer to SS face colour. overall not very noticeable difference in most lighting. best example i could photograph was a larger print of something else on SS wing to show the difference.

    i decided to get a few extra sets printed so if anyone else is interested, hit me up with a PM. ;)

    I just used it too. Definitely the best video out there. I agree it isn't "fun" to transform, but I get why it is what it is because of what the mold does. And it does two important things in my book that Takara's doesn't--have a waist swivel and not use a fake canopy.

    Finally transformed this using this video. Wow it’s complex but using these steps it was quite a smooth and fustration free transformation. This mold totally beats the Takara.
