    I put in my first order last Friday at Nonnef and it already arrived today! :) 
    I got the Null Rays in light gray for Siege Starscream, Red Alert rifle and shoulder launcher in white with red missile (Sunbow Colors), I also ordered the Sideswipe set in white but received it in bone color instead. The bone color is a decent match to Sideswipe's off-white parts, it looks neat. I'm impressed by the craftsmenship how you can angle the shoulder launchers! I'm looking forward to future sets from Nonnef!

    If you can believe it, the Sideswipe kit actually isn't the bone color, it's a completely different color.
    The bone is less translucent and more like an off-white.
    Glad you're happy with them! He does make some good stuff that's not the #D printing that almost everyone else seems to be. I've been a big fan for a while.

    That's interesting, the color looks great with Sideswipe!
    I'm glad he is casting the parts, it looks a lot better than 3-D printing imo because of the grain in the printed materials.

    He doesn’t cast parts either, these are made in steel molds and he does injection molding

    I got my order of null rays in gray for Starscream and Black for Red Wing. They tuned out really nice. Although messing with them I kind of wish they had a joint to angle them similar to the Sideswipe cannon for more posing options. As they are, they’re still good accessories and will buy more for my other Seekers if Nonnef is able to color match them.

    WOW! so he uses the official toy factory method, that is amazing! I'll make sure not to miss his releases :drool: 

    Same, I'll be getting the Null Rays for Skywarp and Thundercracker.
    I haven't decided on the Rainmakers yet. I'm trying to keep the collection contained at all the main characters of Season 1 and 2 with the Movie cast, but it would look cool to have the Rainmakers in their alt Cybertronian Tetrajets hovering above the display.

    Got the Sideswipe and Red Alert weapon packs today. Red Alerts looks fantastic! I was a little put off by sideswipes at first , the color just isn’t white. Then I put them on Sidedwipe and realized how he matched them to existing “white”. Both look great and now I’ve even more anxious for the G2 sideswipe Kit!

    Took quite a bit of peg-shaving (and some re-thickening with loctite since I went too far on Huffer's) but finally got these non-standard peghole guys with their intended weapons

    Anyone know when/if the Siege Hound set will be back in stock? The webpage for it has said, "restocking soon" for a long time now, and I've been waiting...

    Nonnef, you on here?

    He's not on here, he's on Twitter and the most responsive on there (usually less than a day, all my interactions have been a few hours). But a quick look-see did reveal these details:

    So looks like he's planning it, but it may take a while longer.
    Best place to ask him is on Twitter. (regardless of personal feelings about the platform)

    Look like Nonnef is going to be doing blue eyes for Omega Supreme:

    I think they may be intended to be used with Generations Gears and Huffer.
    Judging how Huffer's weapon is shaped like a truncated version of the Optimus Gun.

    I'd be interested to try that truncated Optimus gun on the Roller Minicon/Targetmaster as it may suit him in gun mode or as a roof cannon more than the giant size one does.

    I recommend everyone click on DaimChoc's link to see his full gallery of all those weapons on all the corresponding figures.

    @daimchoc , any chance you could show what the the black null-rays look like on Skywarp? The dark gray looks really good but I'm curious what it would look like to break up the colors a bit more with the black ones.

    Nice! I hope he can manage to produce an uncolored clear face cover as well so we can experience the blue properly.

    Just a PSA, I reached out to Nonnef on Twitter to check and see about them, but the nubs on the sides of the pegs for the null rays will cause stress marks in the under-wing holes on the seekers if you push them in all the way.
    I had thought they were just there to prove a bit of additional friction to "hold," but my Acid Storm and Nova Storm now have stress marks on these ports.
    Fortunately they were the only seekers in alt-mode at the time when I switched the stock guns out, so I'm glad it was only 2 and not 7 figures.
    But it's still kind of upsetting.

    I really hope he gets things sorted for the G2 Sideswipe set quickly.
