The colour difference is nowhere near this dramatic in normal lighting conditions. Just say no to flash photography.

What part of "in a hurry, construction going on" was unclear? I have no ceiling & no light(aside from a small desk lamp) in my office at the moment.

No offense intended, just figured that it was worth pointing out that flash never yields true colors of plastic.

Appreciate that. I never see the difference in the shades unless i look at the legs of the robot mode. Even that isn't enough to bother me. Those bug the hell out of me though.

Apparently half of BBTS's order shipped priority while the other half shipped less-so. It should arrive in the next couple of weeks.

Battle Sentinel SG Armor on RTS Prime

Don't hit me but that does not work.

Transformers Hoarder wrote:Don't hit me but that does not work.

Totally agreed

Of course it doesn't. I'm just trying to show how it looks like if anything other than the SG prime was used. I'm waiting for a KO SG Prime, or I might just go ahead and just paint up a spare RTS Prime in SG colors.

Damn that looks good. Too bad there's so much other good stuff coming out!

Really want this a lot, but not sure I can justify $140 for the trailer and $30 for the gift set.

Well, the Gift set was at $19.99 last week at TRU's website and free shipping if you had shoprunner. As for the Armor, well, hopefully they'll release a KO version. I'm hoping that a KO SG Prime would come out.

Ultimate Gift Set is back to $19.99 over at TRU site.

Finally opened DIA and used CH Optimus as the base figure. As stated before, the blue is a bit different but isn't too noticeable unless you're right up on the figure. The new rifle is flimsy when placing in hand, and I wish MT would've done a better job with that. I'm using the clear faceplate so this can truly be SG Ultra Magnus, and he's looking sweet.

Unfortunately, I may have been too rough with the add-on pieces. I was trying to remove the new chestplate (the part that goes over the front of the figure) and had quite a bit of difficulty. I was finally able to remove it, but in doing so broke off the little clip/piece at the bottom of the plate that hooks on to the bottom of windshield. Anyone else encounter the same problem, or should I have taken more care with the product? Thankfully, it's still holding on by friction and doesn't just pop-off.

I had heard that there was a shipping error in the Dagger's preorder where only a portion of the whole shipment was sent the quick way. The rest is taking the slower method, whatever that is.

Saw it going on ebay for $180, so decided to go with BBTS for $130. Still listed as preorder though.

One company I worked with used to get stuff shipped from China. When we needed product quick, we were usually able to get it within 48 hours air mailed, though customs could make this tough. This is expensive, especially when we are talking about containers of product. The container ships would generally take somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 weeks to a month between the sailing, customs, and trucking across the US. (I worked in MN at the time. BBTS is located just inside Wisconsin from where I live in MN.) Maybe a ballpark estimate for you, if shipping by container ship.

anyone got pic for dagger with united/rts op?

Anyone know when BBTS will ship this (Dagger Interspace Army)? Missed out on the first shipment. =/ also no one else has this besides BBTS?

thanks

From what I understand they are BBTS & Captured Prey exclusives. As for the restock, I have no clue. I had originally heard that these were single run exclusives, so BBTS may have just screwed up. Wouldn't be the first time a dealer has made such a mistake with these limited run bits.

DO NOT PAY AFTERMARKET MARKUPS FOR THE DAGGER SET!!
You will hate yourself. I hate myself for paying regular price for it.

BBTS did indeed screw up, half their order is literally taking the slow boat from China

Hahah at this rate it's probably on a rowboat.
