Their warehouse and their returns/parts dept are in totally different states. They'd have to ship the item from their warehouse to their parts person to open/disassemble and hope he's getting exactly the right parts to ship to the buyer. So no; them having a new one isn't the same as having a returned/opened one available for parts.

Cuts out the middle man and delays and makes sure the person gets whatever he needed.

 

That's also pretty dumb.

 

It's objectively not but if I agree with you will it get me a pass on another odd response a week from now?

(Asking honestly. I'm not here for negativity.)

 

I have first release Bruticus for sale if anyone is interested.  

 

With the DJD repaint coming out it'd be sweet to get this guy in G2 colors.

 

Spin Vulture is already there, at least!  

And, I would really adore a Battle Gaia repaint, but I know that's highly unlikely to happen.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but is that not Catastrophe? Are Ruination and Battle Gaia different characters?

 

Yeah, Battle Gaia is a whole different combiner who especially has a series of differently named "formations" for their various "free combinations."

Can you guys help me out? Do these parts come from these Iron Factory Bruticus sets EX-22, EX-23, and EX-24? I thought they did, but I can't figure where they go?

Could you let me know which set they come from if you know or if you recognize them from another set. Thanks in advance for any help.



Edit:
OK, how about focusing on those little silver pieces. Are they from this set somewhere? I can't find where they go.

 

This one is at least from the IF flight stands. Not sure about the rest.

 

If anyone wants the ko of this I have it on my BST page:

Semi mega sale! FT Thomas, PoTP Predaking, CW Devastator, Kingdom

 

I got Pocket Toys KO an year ago and I still can't figure it out what is these square tabs on the sides and why this things can separate?

 

So I’m looking into get IF Ruination and I found out that there was an upgrade for each mold and I have only been able to find the Bruticus version.

would anyone know where I could find the ruination (gold/green) version of the kit?

 

Whoa. When did this happen? Is this from another company, or IF themselves? I have never even heard of this upgrade kit before.

 

I think it’s a separate company. But idk the name I just found a seller on AliExpress selling it for $40 USD

Ahh okay. As neat as it is, if it isn’t coming from IF themselves, then I feel that they feel their combiner is at a proper height in combined mode, for legends scale. So I am not very interested anymore — would have been different if this was IF trying to correct a certain height/scale going forward.

But thank you for your reply still, and the link!

 

i could be wrong, but i believe this is a 3D printed kit created by A17 who frequently does custom mods with iron factory stuff.

 

Do they have a page or a place where they have their products?

 

he has a weibo page, but i'm not sure if he sells these himself.

there are a few kits he designed that are available through Great Works Studio, but i don't know if these IF bruticus upscaling kits is part of those.

3P Legends Upgrade Kits

i've helped fellow TFW friends with getting these kits, so i might be able to help you with this too, IF it's actually available for sale on TaoBao/Xianyu.
