    RE THIS :

    I know they are the same mould and should be fine but I was wondering if someone can help us both out here with a photo

    Astrotrain-tail.jpg

    Astrotrain-body-filler.jpg

    I'd really appreciate knowing what the above (either or both) looks like on Galaxy Shuttle.
    Especially the tail in shuttle mode.
    or the armour in robot mode & shuttle mode too.

    Galaxy Shuttle robot mode.jpg

    If anyone can help with that I will be most grateful. & then we can send that Pic to TF Wonders and get him to place a proper order for the above parts to match Galaxy Shuttle which I think some of us might like to buy for their Galaxy Shuttle.

    If you have the Astrotrain Guns too and can show him those work too that would be even better. I know it's a chore but it would be a huge help if anyone has the facility to do that.

    Cheers.

    I'll take a pic of the tail wing once it gets here. Wonder-tf on eBay has a Galaxy Shuttle version of it that should be here tomorrow

    Might want to send those pictures to wonder-tf while you're at it. I was asking them if they were going to have more in stock, and they kept on asking me to send them pictures of the original parts with Galaxy Shuttle to demonstrate that they actually worked.

    I don't know why the same people who have made copies of T30 Arcee's swords and such haven't made one of T30 Orion Pax's axe, that weapon would work perfectly with current toys.

    This is getting very silly, he's asking people for images of things that he's already sold to you.
    Did he just list a few of them.

    What does he think he is playing at...

    Yeah it is pretty bad, but in his defense it is just a recolored part for a recolored figure, there shouldn't be any kind of fitment issue

    Shouldn't be, but he doesn't want to get left holding the bag if some tooling is slightly different (like the pegs on ER Grapple they had to redo) and there's a whole production run that don't work correctly.

    I just got interested in getting those folding feet replacements for Studio series sludge. Is there a consensus as to which one is the best quality? I saw that Emgo reviewed the BDT Studios one and just wanted to see if there was a better one before I get it.

    ziltama reviewed the Go Better fillers and feet for Sludge. The feet even unfold to cover up the open belly in dino mode, and the eyes are yellow for the slapstick bonk Devastator gave him in the movie.

    :lol  Right? I don't think anyone is willing to shell out more money in a vain attempt to improve that mold.

    Which one? I don't doubt he was posted about somewhere around here but I think the kits for Sideswipe and Lio Convoy kinda stole the show for a while :lol

    Anyone pick up the YYW upgrade kit for Laser Prime / Scourge? It looks decent but its hard to tell the print quality from the listings ive seen on eBay and AliExpress.

    It's because it's made by Tim Heada, people are very wary of his kits here.

    No I didn't buy the Hotshot kit yet, It's on my medium term buy list, but as I don't actually own Hot Shot or Starscream yet it's a very back burner thing until I do.

    I am hoping someone will offer combination of wheel covers with a new Breakdown's spoiler tail at some point, I don't really care for the spiked ones that are for Wild Rider came with Dead End's feet they are a bit oddly shaped.

    Received Legacy Skyquake in the mail. Turned out quite a bit nicer in-hand, especially compared to some other duds that we also received today. Has anyone tried any SXS sets before? I decided to order the SXS Skyquake set and see if it works.

    Gotcha. All the JuQi sets I have were sourced thru TFSafari. I'm sure they'll show up there sooner or later.
