    I'd rather burn the $195.

    It doesn't help that they reissued at least two of the three others but not Flipout, plus the toy version of Flipout is MIA.

    Also Flipout and DeadEnd are the 2 best ones. XTB’s on a reissue spree so I’m sure it’s coming.

    I wish they'd reissue toon G1 Crackup with bigger wheels to improve the underside rolling clearance like they did with toy Crackup.

    I wonder if one could contact XTB about getting some of the toy wheels as “replacements” for their toon version.... hmm.

    Good luck, they haven't been shipping replacement parts for over two months.

    Hopefully the wheels are easy to swap out and hopefully toon Crackups wheel wells can accommodate them.

    Actually, I just got an email from Toy Dojo that my replacement parts we were waiting for arrived and shipped out to me two days ago.

    Through a retailer is possible since it probably came with one of their freight shipments. Replacement parts directly from XTB haven't been shipping for at least two months.

    You surely can, I got multiple replacement parts for XTB models. The point is: are the wheels bigger or the tyres? Are they easy to replace? If you decide to write them, please let us know how it goes :thumbs2:

    I've actually done this. I combined parts of both the toon and toy, to create a "premium" toon deco. The larger tires will fit on Toon Crackup, but he will not roll....well, not easily at least. There were small mods done to the mold to make room. The blue panels that form Crackup's shins have small bevels to accommodate the larger tires in car mode. If you position the toon versions just right, there's still room, or you can just trim a tiny bit.

    The front wheels are the real problem however. It seems XTB moved the wheel placement down like barely a millimeter. The larger tires will rub against the upper wheel wells, but only barely. So, sometimes, if you don't fully lock the hood down, you can get the toon version to roll with the larger front tires.

    Yes. They had said transbots were sending out the replacement parts with their shipment of Junkions.

    I am surprised how these sold out without having an actual finished combiner for reference. Yeah I know about those pics and renders but still....

    Unfortunately, they haven't been shipping replacement parts to customers for over two months.

    Isn't this most 3P combiners? Stunticons are among the easiest to do this thing for, as technically none of the limb bots have to actually function as limbs. The leg bots don't even need to factor in engineering for a 3rd mode.

    Yes now that you mentioned it...Perhaps its the overcautious nature in me. I want to read reviews and opinions on a finished product before I commit.

    You just have to look around. I got one from Toydojo about 3 weeks ago.
