wow that solidifies my decision to display them as a team. Thanks for the info. I'll just go ahead and order Gravestone now. Doesn't quite say when the reissue is going to arrive but I'm not in a rush.

 

Woo! Trailer is through customs in LA and should probably be here sometime this week!

Celebrated by changing all 5 back to vehicle mode to prepare for the Menasoring to come.

And a big thanks to showz getting this puppy out quickly once they were in stock!

 

I believe it's around June time, from recollection. It's around the same price as the first run, too.

 

My trailer also made it through customs in LA... however, I'm not going to get too excited til I see rather or not it avoids the hands of Pitney Bowes.

 

mine arrived in Sydney, so not long

 

Do I need to tell you to re-read what I posted  ?

 

I'm jelly! So far the latest status on mine is "CN.Shanghai Pudong Airport, Released From Export Customs" on the 16th. FYI, I paid the extra $27 for faster shipping. I also bought the accessory pack and it's not yet marked as shipped, so no idea if it's included or coming separately.

 

Looks amazing!
Were those all screw fixes, or was their pin swapping involved?
I too have one of each, with still a long wait ahead of me.

 

Great video. Now we need one going from trailer to skeleton, as we only have Ben's so far

 

Like it says at the end... if there's enough love in the comments...

 

It's got nothing to do with whatever additional height the added.
Monolith was designed to look like the cartoon... which has "arm cars" which are twice the size as the "leg cars".
Hence, the shells add the extra bulk to the arms, whereas the legs don't need them.

 

this has reminded me that I need to order some more spudgers, lol.

 

Has anyone figured out how Gravestone really locks into the torso ? I know there's ridges for the front wheels of the truck. You then have the large panels which fold down on Monoliths back connecting to Gravestones legs. But those legs are still free to move up and down. The entire torso of Monolith also seems to be held in place by vertical teeth each side of the torso, is that the case ? With the weight of Gravestone in place, it feels like the torso wants to fold forward somewhat. Am I missing any steps ?

 

Well that was Heckish!

 

damn that looks pretty damn nice^

 

He looks like a brute. Real nasty fucker.

 

Do you wear them out or loose them?

He's in very securely on mine - no wiggle. Do you have the rear plates tabbed into the legs properly? Do you have the front wheels to the front (Menasor's front) of the headplate hinges and the headplate pushed down fully?
Those four tabs on each side are the only thing holding the torso together, but I feel the weight pulls backwards so it doesn't want to come apart unless I lift him by his chest.

 

Yes seems like everything is locked in as it should. I'm just surprised that you can lift his backpack ( gravestone legs & rear monolith panels ) in one go and there's nothing securing them to the torso itself other then the hinge's

 

Since I hadn't seen it anywhere, here's the skeleton with just the shells on. You can kinda fake it.
