ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

Looks that way. I shouldn't worry though, plenty of ebay sellers will get them at decent prices just as they have with Sideswipe and Red Alert.

Damn now that does surprise me.

They still have preo-order slots for Prowl & Smokescreen & I didn't think Bluestreak would be that much more popular but seems I was wrong.

Oh well Ebay it might be then.

Shame as the service from Kapow has been faultless for Sideswipe & Soundwave.

Still I'll get Prowl & Smokescreen from them anyway.

Thanks buddy

Just got home from work, opened up my new MP Soundwave and guess who has a messed up foot?! And BBTS is closed till Monday! I've bought from them a lot, but never had to return anything, does anyone know if they have a good return/exchange policy.

I won't get MP Soundwave until TF Source gets their second batch in which sucks.

They are really good about returns/replacements in my experience.

Awesome! Thanks!

I want an MP BB, i dont give a **** about licensing issues, just make it happen!!

art feather bb all the way!

one shoulder cannon wouldnt sit flush in tape mode on my MP laserbeak which meant the tape wouldnt pop in/out of the chest! luckily ive been able to exchange the tape for a better one! i also have the faceplate mark where it looks like the mold has been cut but its not extreme!

The alt mode for him is ok, but the bot mode is abysmal.
Really REALLY lazy on the KO makers part.
Im making a much better one if i do say so myself.
I just need to finish up tidying up the engineering on it, add some articulated hands and slop some paint over it and we're done.

 

[Dubcustomz]

BTW whats with the side mirrors?! Lol, as a beetle owner i find that so funny. Beetle mirrors are tiny, you can barely see anything out of them. These look like Dumbo ears lol

This is entertaining.

The VW beetle prototype was designed by Ferdinand Porsche, when Hitler saw his design he ordered Porsche to put the car into mass production under his "VW" name, but that is where Hitlers influence ended.
So in a way if you own a VW Beetle (like i do) you own a Porsche, not a Nazi wagon like people think (that's a common misconception).

Except he made it happen!!!

Anyway, I gotta say, I think Corsair is at least fifty-fifty when it comes to official products. Not a full hate-on like you seem to have.

Though if I recall correctly, you did say you'd buy a third party Jet/Skyfire...

 

[Dubcustomz]

Well, Porsche had already designed the Beetle before Hitler said "Make z'is car nao!", so it would have been made anyway, 'cept it would have been called a Porsche instead of a VW. And in fact, after the war had ended nobody was making any Beetles, it was thanks to an English general (i think) who ordered the cars be put back into production to help the country recover from the war.
I might be paraphrasing the history books there but that's the general gist if i remember correctly.

I would buy a KO Jetfire, if it was 100% cartoon accurate, and wasn't priced ridiculously, and there was no chance of an official release. Just because i don't like most KO's doesn't mean i dislike all. I do believe i posted about a KO Stunticon a few pages back...but people only focus on the negative.
Some characters are the exception to my rules, (like Jetfire, or if someone made a cartoon and vehicle accurate large scale BB) i would feel a bit dirty though.

I am glad two friends falling out is entertaining to you.

 

[DPrime]

No one should have a falling out over toys, though there's nothing wrong with a good argument.

Looks like my Sideswipe is free of paint issues!

 

[Ra88]

Egh, I like Fan's Project, but they dropped the ball with Dead End and Dragstrip. It's almost like they had their robot modes switched.

$60 is a very reasonable price for these though, kudos on them for that!

I am glad two friends falling out is entertaining to you.

Friends falling out? All I saw was an argument about toys that you suddenly started taking personal and acted like a total dramaqueen throughout. I barely saw Corsair post even anything hinting to that.

EDIT: Aaaand nevermind.

Folks are entitled to their opinions here, even if others disagree with them. So long as folks doesn't go too far with the insults I don't see any posts here warranting infractions. If you two simply can't co-exist, then the ignore option isn't a bad idea. That's what it is for.

Takara = Yes.

Hasbro = No.

3rd party = Depends on the character and aesthetic.

And as I already mentioned previously, I have bought considerably more official products of late than 3rd party ones....my loyalty is to whoever makes the characters I want in the style I want.

Not gonna be an issue from me, I'm done with the thread until such a time that the atmosphere returns to what it was pre-Dubz.

Aw don't leave the whole thread over one guy!

Yeah I just meant that you were pretty balanced over the whole thing. Like me, I guess.

Though I must admit, I'm seriously thinking of selling my iGear Coneheads... Not because I think Takara will make them, but because I think I might just stick to first season characters... I won't be compelled to buy Smokescreen and Red Alert...

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that.

Fansproject stunticons. Drag strip shoulda been a fembot. That is all.
