    Perhaps a bit, but I'm really tired of all XTB's practices. Shame on me for thinking they'd ever change. Y'all can keep rewarding their behavior, but I'm done. ✌️

    I'll definitely reward lowering the price by buying one. I wasn't interested at $200 but at $165 I'll let XTB know "More of this please!"

    I plan to counter this devious move by submitting dozens of aftersales requests over the course of the next ten months, until I have a whole new Stack comprised of parts from this latest run. That’ll show XTB!

    In the end, will it be the same Ultra Magnus, or a copy of the original?

    FOMO is a B***. I ended up buying from a domestic store and paid a lot more than $199 and then they pull this crap.
    The Virtus re-issue better not be more than 100 bucks.

    Agreed! Got my parts today- well done @transformer_78 . The neck upgrade is a must, and the rocket blast effects look great. Would be awesome if you did something similar for other figures (missile “spam” for the MP seekers, for example).

    Has anyone tried to remove the tampos from the youth version? If not, can anyone please offer any advice that won't damage paint or underlying surfaces?

    I want the clean G1 look but with the youth version colours. I was hoping they'd just be raised and I could get under them then rip them off but not the case.

    Considering most people are rubbing them off by accident with their fingers I don't think it should be hard to do.

    I've had to proxy buy 3d printed stuff so many times now because people are so reluctant to ship internationally.

    Shapeways is far expensive too considering what they charge for the item then shipping is usually double for a part that will actually cost next to nothing to send.

    Exactly, I want the neck upgrade but because I live in Canada I’m SOL.

    Shouldn't have to, I don't understand the whole "i don't ship internationally" only because he feels its a big deal or hard, apparently.

    I've been shipping stuff, mostly vintage car parts, all over the world for over 10 years.
    I've made an upgrade for TE Prime and shipped them to almost every continent and, apart from a mistake on my behalf in the choice of envelope for the first few i sent out, i haven't had any issues at all

    @Furb
    You know……you are more than capable of modeling your own, printing them and selling/distributing internationally instead of trying to create an uproar here.

    I shouldn’t have do, I have my reason why I choose not too nor do I need to explain myself on this tread to you again when you tried doing this same uproar in TE-01 tread. I even provided you the TE-01 STL file b/c you were hackling via DM. Just make your own, put in the work and sell them here. You can do I.

    *So for those (outside the US) interesting in any Stack parts….put your parts requests with @Furb as he/she is capable of selling with no problem as stated. @Furb is in Europe…so should make shipping $$ cheaper for those in those areas.

    And thanks for the interest in my parts and sorry I can’t help…but @Furb can

    Thank you.
