Rated X wrote:OK so I just got Maketoys Yellow Giant at the Great sale price at TFSource. They say Set C will contain extra parts to correct issues from set B. (as per TFSource) My set did not come with any extra parts. Is this a 2nd run with the figures fixed before assembly at Maketoys ? I e-mailed TFSource but havent recieved a response. And what were these issues from set B ? Can someone please list what extra parts were included that I didnt get and what was the issue with the old part ? Thanks in advance.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

It appears that my set may have the fixed parts installed because MY Dump Truck grill did not take extreme force to fold in and I saw no stress marks afterward on either the yellow or yellow parts. Also my Giant came with a head that has the silver paint on the forehead to give him that anime “balding” effect. I have read that the first run of yellow Giant didn’t have this until the fans recommended it for the upcoming green version. Can anyone with the first run of yellow Giant confirm this? Sadly, I can’t remove the hook on Crane/Hook like the green version.

They wont come with the extra parts, but if you ask TF Source can send you the extra parts as they did with me. Keep in mind, the revised parts turned out to be the same thing attached to my figure (minus the chrome on the extra head) Sooner or later TF Source might open one up and realize the sets were fixed and no longer provide the spare parts. Unless my set was an oddity. Lucky me.

I may have to get him if they're still around at the end of the month (when I'll have a bit more money to spend ).

It's not a gift set in one box like the green version. It's just all 3 box sets for one great price.

I have been watching alot of youtube clips about them and I had my skepticism from what people have said about not-Scrapper being so difficult to transform and whatnot. But after receiving and having a go at forming them both, I really really like them and transforming not-Scrapper is actually not to hard as people have made out to be on youtube. Also I was freaking out that the bot mode's head would end up staring down his cab/chest, but fortunately hes not which is great. not-Mixmaster is pretty awesome but his height over not-Scrapper bugged me abit so I don't pull out his calves and that makes them both a similar height. The general size of the figures is quite nice too because I never bothered to look up any comparison pictures I naturally assumed that they would be just a little bit smaller than deluxe seekers but thankfully they are a touch bigger. So all in all i will definitely be purchasing the remaining sets to complete Giant and the reprolabels to go with them

I got the Reprolabels, I just haven't had a chance to put them on. There are a few labels in green meant for the green version, but I'm hoping a yellow sharpie will fix that. But you must admit, the tabs that hold Mixmaster's cab together are downright scary and have the potential to snap off eventually.
