    Oh that is awesome. And Australian too, so postage is no problem for me :p 

    They make to order, so there's no problem with selling out so long as you're happy to wait between batches.


    ... and now I'm thinking hard about getting a rotorstorm because those engine pods they also sell make it so much not just a Spinister recolour...

    It's a beautifully made kit! It's like a Hill's Hoist, every Australian home should have one!

    Makes it look more like the G1 toy without being as daft as the G1 toy, and takes it away from being the third copy of that mould on my shelf. How can I not?

    The next Go Better kit is...a repaint of their Optimus Primal kit for Nemesis Primal. Don't have official stock pics yet, just ones from auction listings.

    Only if ZX would redo their accessories kit for Nemesis Primal. The helmet still has the same connection points for the mutant mask.

    Those engine pods are great! I actually just printed some out myself, they are the entire reason I ended up getting Rotorstorm.

    I would bite if they released the filler chest piece only. The jetpack is simply not the best.

    The only reason I didn't buy it is mainly because I don't have Kingdom Mirage yet, and I'll bet that's the case with a lot of other people too. I don't really buy files unless I intend to print it out right away, and with no figure for the add-on to be attached to, I myself didn't see a reason to buy it before I got the figure. You probably could have it for free right now, but then go back to charging for it when everyone's sets start shipping. Or, you could even take it down and put it back up when people's sets start shipping so it would be higher in results on places like yeggi. I really just think you had it out too early for it's own good.

    It's funny, I remember seeing your post before I got my Tracks figure and not really understanding what the issue was and how your fix worked. Then when I got the figure and decided I wanted to work on a fix, I thought about your post but decided to just figure out my own solution instead of taking a look at what you had proposed. I'm glad we arrived at the same solution, you get the part you wanted and I'm more confident that it's a good method for dealing with the problem!

    I'd bookmarked it (and your creator page), but I don't have Kingdom Mirage yet and I'm still saving every nickel & dime to get my first 3D printer. After that, my buying splurge will commence.

    So can he still tilt his ankles or are they stuck in the straight position? Not sure if there's any movement.

    Thanks!

    I bought the original colored version of this, I think the neck part is slowly being forced out of shape by the tab it slides over, it has a lot of trouble holding on now.

    Honestly, I don't have much experience with that printer, but from the reviews I've seen, it actually looks like the stuff you're printing is actually really high quality for that machine. I think you just hit the ceiling of what that printer can do already without substantially upgrading it.

    Really? Haven't had issues here. Can you take a pic of which part is causing the problem?

    Now I want new guns for WFC Covert Agent Ravage that are smaller and transform in a way that cover Ravage's silver back legs in beast mode.

    It FEELS like this angular shaping isn't how it was when I first got it, but I'm not 100% sure I trust my memory there either. Either way it usually ends up flying off whenever I split the chest to transform it in either direction.

    Ordered two sets of Tracks leg parts. I figured Road Rage will end up needing them too.
