    Thanks for the pics! Was thinking of using a Titan Master head for it as sort of a Mind wipe cousin or something. He's a cool looking figure for what it is so I ordered it from Sirtoys as an impulse buy. Thanks for the reply

    You did note the part about ball joint right? If you want s titan head you can cut off the ball joint peg on the body of this toy, or it collapses inwards also as the head tucks into body cavity during transformation so you don't need to ruin your titan head, but you will need something to connect / pad / stick / friction fit the head onto body, I'm sure you will come up with something.
    I'll post some pics tomorrow with the few tr heads I have.

    EDIT: pics with blu-tacked on heads.

    It's a stalk on the body, and hollow head groove, same as any basic leg joint/hip if that makes sense. Quite strong, and stands up to being messed around with.

    Love the Drikold mold, and it looks great as Prime...very Orion Pax ish.

    Got my giant box from SirToys yesterday (thanks Paul!), only barely started messing with them, but so far I am IN LOVE with the Fire Rescue Corp guys.

    Got the Aircraft set in the past, and loved them too. Seems like the individual robot forms are even nicer on this set, and still pounds and pounds (literally, I'm sure!) of diecast. They're like Old Skool Godaikin/Shogun-Warriors with a TF aesthetic and modern levels of articulation....I hope these guys are making tons of money on this series (given they've done a few, maybe they are), because this line needs to continue and live a long healthy life :)

    Uncle Billy is upgrading his store. An email was sent out to his patrons regarding the issue.

    As far as Lulu goes, I have no idea, but her Aliexpress store is still up.

    Basically, you can shop with them, just at the opposite stores of what you're used to. Go to Ebay for Uncle Billy and go to Aliexpress for Lulu.

    Yeah a whole bunch of China eBay ko sellers n the last couple days have zero listings. They are still there, user not removed from eBay or anything.
    I bought at item last night from a seller, and then today all their listings are gone, that's at least 4 China based ebayers I've seen that with this week.

    Also, this is my favourite thread here at TFW, thanks to everyone for the friendly, helpful info and being all around gosh darn swell.

    For some reason I can't get an answer from Paul for the high quality ko of felisaber that's listed on aliexpress.. Really prefer to buy from him but he's not responding through the want list like he used to
