I’ve ordered from TFSource before. That’s where I got my Hot Rod/Starscream Revoltechs. They’re very good as far as packing and shipping goes, even if you don’t ask for the sealed package treatment to keep the boxes mint (I ordered a C9 box Megs). They put the Revs in these cardboard sleeves and packed them in bubble wrap with plenty of packing popcorn. So the product will definitely be in good shape when it arrives. Shipping time is pretty minimal as well.
Not really, the only thing that could go wrong were the connections of his arms, maybe a bit delicate for kids…
I picked up the Takara re-release a few years ago.
Oh shit, I just remembered the “rust” or whatever problem with MP Megs. That’s something that can be wiped off with a simple cloth right?
manly tears are the only thing that can wash away cosmic rust
You mean the re-issue with the fold-up box with extra Decepticon sticker sheet and mouse pad? I bought mine about 4 years ago for $90.00. That figures and box are one of my greatest purchases I thought I’d never make.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Remember that custom Devastator that was a WIP a while back? Well, it’s 98% finished.

How the fuck do you even start making somethiing like that? Jesse Christ, that’s beautiful (though I still like the RID Magnus custom better).
It’s very intimidating. It almost discourages me from getting into customs altogether. I won’t be doing something of that scale with my Computron idea.
Oh, does anyone have a Cybertron Starscream they’re looking to sell? The Voyager one?
Fuck that! This should encourage you to start doing more customs. This guy had to start somewhere too. I’m sure your Computron will be looking pretty tasty when you’re done with him.
If I had the time, talent, money and resources I’d be making stuff like that too.
Well, some of my figures arrived. But I’m waiting for my spare Metroplex to get here as well. Also looking at using a Cybertron Starscream since I could mod the cockpit into a sort of cannon.
If anyone here can help me with some of the figures (I will buy or trade for them), that’d be sweet.
^-- I envy you the space to be picking up a “spare” Metroplex. :tup:
I know, I know, I’m still being burnt by them since they haven’t even shipped the REGULAR Swoop and Sludge yet, but I couldn’t resist getting Reindeer Grimlock and Elf Swoop gift set. sigh I’m weak. I picked up the MP Starscream coronation set too.
:u: You mean Cybertron Metroplex or the original?
p.s. I got your McDonald’s postcard. I didn’t just get it. It was at the top of my fridge mixed in with a bunch of newspapers and circular ads for a number of weeks. I was sifting through it and the postcard fell out. Can you believe I almost threw it away without knowing? Silly me. Thanks!
is it worth it? maybe Ill buy two.

Yes that one, I still treasure it like my precious:wgrin:
You said that right… that shit is wicked sick!:wow:
I want to buy 8.

For anyone that hasn’t seen the TFA episode “Megatron Rising”
Part 1(a) [media=youtube]D4UWPQl6Rbw[/media]
Part 1(b) [media=youtube]mNrsh7tQ1hg[/media]
This isn’t a season ending cliffhanger either. Part 2 will air this Saturday.
I want to shoot people in the head who buy such ridiculous crap. I’ll never understand the will to pay exhorbinant amounts of money so they can get a toy with a different paint scheme? Oh well.
I’ll watch this episode during lunch.
I remember seeing that Starscream on eBay a few months back.
Damn.
Could you please use a small caliber round on me then? I’d like to have an open casket funeral…
Custom Computron
Here’s my idea for Technobot Scattershot:
Robot mode - http://www.seibertron.com/toys/fullsize.php?id=774&size=1&image=70
Alt mode - http://www.seibertron.com/toys/fullsize.php?id=774&size=1&image=23
G1 toy:
I realize the alt mode doesn’t match the original, but like Scattershot, he’s got a ridiculously huge cannon. Do you think this could be pulled off?

Too late. You should have told me earlier or I wouldn’t have used a hollow point. :amazed:
