    I do all my Taobao searching and buying on my desktop or laptop using Chrome browser. My browser settings are set to auto translate foreign language text to English whenever possible.
    I also recommend checking out the thread Buying Transformers on Taobao for pointers.
    I ship to the USA but there are a good number of active guys on that thread that ship to Australia including
    @minstral
    @Starganderfish
    among others who have good advice.

    Has anyone modded their nosecone assembly to stay on? It's a shame it pops off so easily when the transformation is pretty cool.

    Yeah I agree. It looks like they did that to prevent breakage. I've attempted to transform it a few times without letting it come off, and it's totally doable I think but when I get to the step where his head fills in the gap, it's just gonna pop off.

    And another question, wasn't there word that Maketoys was gonna include the wing fillers with their rerelease? It sure didn't come with mine.

    I believe they're supposed to be included with the Coneheads...incentive/extortion to buy moar. Or purchase them separately.

    I think they help, but I think $30 + shipping is too steep for something I'll rarely ever see. Offer all 3 for $20 shipped and fine, give it to me. But that's about as far as I can personally go.

    ah nothing crazy, I just ordered a light up head sculpt and new articulated hands from TFsource.

    Hands:
    KFC - KP-14S Posable Hands for MP-11 starscream

    Head:
    MoDel - Model-004 - MP-11 Masterpiece Starscream Starking Light Up Head

    I figured the head should be an upgrade if it's even slightly bigger than the default head (plus the light up eyes!). I also ordered some paint to match the hands, thanks to @StrangePlanet with the help on that.

    Will the KFC hands even fit on meteor?? Also, wouldn't the blues be off?

    Let us know how this turns out with updated pictures as I am very curious if this mod is possible.

    yeah a few pages back, there's an example of the hands fitting but you have to cut away a little bit to make it fit I believe. The color will be off, but I ordered a srpay paint to color match them. I will definitely post results when I'm done!

    Sweet!!! I will try an scroll back an find it. An I also look forward to seeing how your work turns out! Please share the steps as if it isnt too hard I would be interested in doing the mod myself. I wonder if the figure can still transform with those mods installed. Let us know if anything has to be done to make it work when they are installed!

    How long does it take for Yetistands to ship? My hodgepodge Seeker trio is finally complete and ready.
