i just got the long smoke stacks from ages three and up in canada..........will optimus go up or down in price is i put them on him?
i don't want the value to go down at all but they look soooooooo sweet........i want to put them on

 

You plan to sell him eventually or something? otherwise personally, i wouldnt care about the value as long im happy with him...

and its not like you plan to throw the original stacks right?

 

its not a permanent mod, so just swap them! hes still orginal sinc eu dont modify anything besides swapping the parts   I have the stacks from A3U too

 

I got those same stacks, and they make a world of difference! Put them on!

If resale value is important, you shouldn't open him at all.  

 

I have seen MIB or Loose 20th Prime's go for more than others on eBay, if they are modded with long stacks. Just an observation I have noticed. Just make sure you don't throw away the original stacks.

I recently bought the same ones from A3U and they look AWESOME. They make a huge difference in my opinion. It was like getting a new 20th Prime all over again. Putting them on is easy as long as you have the small screwdriver needed.

 

I went ahead and put them on...but I also used paint thinner to remove the "battle damage". I don't plan on selling it ever, and it looks great.

 

Those KICK ASS I am going to order some as soon as I get paid!!!

 

i put them on too, they are subtle, but when you step back and take a look, he looks so much better its freakin awesome.

did anyone manage to fix the springs as well? i gave up after a few nanoseconds, after it flew out and into the ether. but the way they're fitted they hold ok anyways.

the only gripe i have, is that when you turn his arm at the bicep, the stacks get pushed out from the bottom. small issue, but it has to be said.

 

I have the same prob you're talking about with the arm smangerbot but after about 6 calls to the white house and the departent of defense for instructions on how to get the springs back in i got them back in. I will never do that again..................untill the next time........lol

 

btw, Greeley rocks.

 

Cool someone from Greeley

About time cause i've seen a bunch of cars with Decepticon stickers..........I will hunt Megatron down and throw up my faction at him...........oh yes indeed

 

Where are you at?

 

6th ave and 21st street

 

see if you can find my springs while youre there.

 

Has anybody every installed these stacks from marksprojects?

You don't have to remove the existing stacks, just add these on. No screw to lose!

Curious for feedback, they look pretty nice to me, and only 8 bucks shipped.

 

Like others here... I recommend putting them on too. Prime just looked neutered with the short stacks... Now I gotta try the paint thinner thing to remove the battle damage.

 

Bah put the good ones one

 

yeah, the ages 3 up ones are cheaper too.

 

does anyone remember when www.agesthreeandup.com was www.johnscollectibles.com? I used to buy alot of toys from Johns.....just an old memory

 

i found the springs easy to put back on...
