Hey @ibot
I gotta know - are you planning a G2 Youth/Toy edition release for all these as well?

 

@ahunter858 if/when you try it again may I suggest pictures or notes so you know how to fit everything back together. also bagging each body part and screws in separate baggies will help keep things sorted. it does totally suck when things go sideways and you "know" how it all goes together but it won't do what you want it to.

 

So there's a couple of copies of gravestone out there now; no one has made a video review yet? I'm jonesing for this...

 

My replacement parts arrived for Dragstrip, yay. Just need to pop a pin and get the nose changed.

Maybe next weekend

 

That did it, thanks! Is there a way to fix his shoulder ratchets? Because I'll let people on a secret- the reason all my pics of him have him with his arm bent and rifle raised in a pose is because otherwise his arms are sticking too far out to the side. But the next position has his arms too close to his chest, as if he's being tied by an invisible rope. I just want to let his arms go straight down.

The neck is just a t-slot design, so the heads should pop off easily. But I dunno if I'd say its a BIG step up, its certainly a noticeable improvement. Plus the bigger tires give better ground clearance, so he rolls a lot better in car mode.

 

Waitwaitwait....!

Gravestone (cab of semi) is one release, and then, to complete their Not-Menasor, we have to buy the trailer/combiner frame separately?

Is that the case here?

That's odd, and off-putting.

FOR ME. IMO. YMMV

 

It’s not my first time doing this. I was very organized. Labeled and begged everything and took a ton of pics. That pile you see is just me fed up with the project and over it for now. Thanks for all the comments everyone. It’s much appreciate.

 

Alright. Nobody directly responded, but it looks like, even after buying Gravestone, I won't be able to have the full combiner....?

So, he'll be very close to complete if/when Gravestone comes out, but we'll all have to wait for the trailer/frame to be announced and price set (this is gonna suck....) before we can see the light at the end of this tunnel?

Can anyone confirm this?

Now I see clearly why this is the first MP combiner I started to collect.

 

Right Gravestone in Dec/Jan, Gravestone’s trailer/Menasor stuff sold separately and expected in April (although of course it may be later).

 

April of 2021 probably.

 

Correct.

Gravestone Cab Only = December 2019 which forms the MotorMaster bot
Gravestone Trailer Only = April 2020 which forms the body of Menasor combiner

 

We are talking about XTB... not FT. LOL.  

 

Don't come at me when it's super late!

 

I just don’t hook the blue hooks and his shoulders move more freely.

 

Yessir.

Baba's base price is the same as North American retailers, however Baba does offer free shipping and $5 off.

 

His eBay price doesn't seem to account for tax fees, which for me would be an additional $10.

 

You waited an hour and a half before complaining that no-one responded. Impatient much?

Yes, buying combiner does usually involve a long wait from buying the first figure to having a completed combiner. If it helps soothe your pain, XTB is slated to have the trailer (and thus the full combiner) released before either DX9 or FT have released their fourth bot.
But if you aren't happy with that, you can certainly wait for one of the other two.

 

So does this mean we might get Springer or Kup before the trailer?
