It's about time we got a new gallery! The website needs to get more AM and retail Bruticus now, plus the MP's!

Anyway, this has got to be one great toy!

It definitely needs more galleries. I had to take a break after July. I had been doing galleries for 8.5 years straight. 2,800 galleries and 1/4 of a million images later I had developed tennis elbow in my left arm which had become pretty painful. I worked through the pain while I was at SDCC but every photo was taken along with a shot of pain while I was there. Rest was the only way to let it heal so I've been working on the Seibertron.com eBay store instead at http://www.seibertron.com/ebay which is far less intensive work for my elbow than the galleries are.

I've got a few more backlogged galleries and more items that I want to add to the Seibertron.com eBay store that I'll be adding before I get back into doing new galleries.

Oh wow, you're a trooper, Ryan.

We really need a "saluting" smiley.

You guys don't know the half of it. I've seen this man work on the galleries, cropping the images, photoshopping the dust particles out, adjusting the light and color. He's a madman!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the comments. Only a few people know how much work these galleries are. They're a labor of love!

Excellent pictures. I was fortunate to aquire one too a while back. Wonder if they still have the mold for Grand?

If they don't, I bet it wouldn't be too hard for them to recreate one. Hell, I'd let them use mine if they needed it assuming we could work out something and could have some kind of a guarantee that I'd get mine back.

I realized a few days ago that the photos were out of order in Grand's gallery and that there was an error in my script that caused all of the images that included "grand" in the Masterforce image folder to be included in Grand's gallery (i.e. all of Grand Maximus' images were in Grand's gallery as well). I renamed the images for Grand, reuploaded them, fixed the error with my script and recreated the gallery. All's good now!

I think they can. I was looking at a few things that reminded me of a class I wanted to take. All they need is an original Pretender shell and a 3D scanner. This allows them to make a plastic/rubber mold from the scans, which is then used to make the mold that makes the shells.

It is something I was wishing that I could explain in better details. Because I think that if they can do this - Or make a digital mold if that is more cost effective... We could see the revival of "dead" pieces be reborn with little or no retooling.
