    Silly question gang - is the matrix thats included with this guy the same mold as the one that comes with Black PowerBaser, Purple PowerBaser and first release regular PowerBaser?

    Does anyone know where I could buy the trailer for this bot? New preferred, but second and in mint state is fine as well. Thanks in advance.

    So, it's been a long time coming but this weekend I finally got my trailer stickers and box signed by Geoff Senior at TFUKCon, a small convention ran by the Transformers UK FB group

    Congrats! Looks great.

    I keep hoping FH will re-run their G2/nemesis prime trailers. Can't find one anywhere for a half decent price.

    I just want the head that came with the trailer and maybe a new gun.

    I'm shocked they haven't announced that yet. Strike while the iron's hot with enthusiasm around Legacy Laser Prime. Watched a few eBay listings, and they hit $160+.

    Anyone deal with Fans Hobby customer service? I bought this guy from a con (at a $30 markup) and was told he was MIB, only to discover the accessories and paperwork were missing. Thinking of going to the booth I got it from and going, “what gives?”

    FH CS is top of the line.

    That being said... the last run of laser prime was 2+ years ago? I think anyways. If they're out of parts then they won't be able to help you regardless of how much they might want to help.

    He’s in stock on their own shop, which bodes well in my book.

    Yeah, I'd say that's a very good sign.

    The major issue I see with your predicament is that FH will ship parts via the slow boat option (for free) which is fine except the seller from your booth will be long gone by then.

    So if you want to be 100% sure that you don't get screwed you should still return your purchase to the booth IMO.

    That was my thinking, too. Sucks, he’s a cool toy, but I paid $150 for an incomplete toy. Bogus.

    Since this got a bump I'll just say that if anyone has the trailer and doesn't want the head that came with it, hit me up. I never sprung for the set because I only wanted the head and now it's long gone.

    If I can figure out how to use Mercari, I'll be grabbing this lol. Big thanks for the link!

    Edit: Didn't get, the hunt continues :(

    They could have just made a re-run of the heads...
