Hey guys, remember these little gems that (so far) never were...

Cassy's Lugnut would've been a definite buy from me, and maybe a repaint or two. I like bulky TFs, and this is definitely the one that needs to be large and in charge.

I wonder if its a safe bet to add Toyworld's rumored non-Ultra Magnus to this list now....

Now that petrol prices have gone down, do PVC ABS also follow suit? Why I ask? Well those are byproducts of oil. Maybe 3rd party companies can lower their prices? Put it at par with Hasbro/Takara?

The Ultra Magnus we saw at Toy Fair fills my need for a modern Magnus, so I'm not worried about TW's version anymore. However, I'd still pay for that large bomber Megatron.

While that does affect prices, the bigger issue is # of units.

3P companies generally produce a lot fewer figures than HasTak, so you don't get the tooling costs spread over the larger number of figures produced.

That's the main reason 3P stuff is so much more expensive.

Indeed. I've stayed out of their threads cause... I can only look at so much concept art before I need to see some plastic. And while the pretender figures are neat, the actual robots are pretty lack luster. >:oP

Eh, I wouldn't go as far as to call it dead yet. There's more than 1 way to skin a cat, and I highly doubt they'll give up just because the kickstarter failed.

Can I be cheeky and post this here?

Heard about this some time ago then recently found an auction on Ebay for one...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-MMC-Rare-Resin-DRIFT-KIT-third-party-EXCLUSIVE-3rd-g1-IDW-/301408081291?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item462d52558b

SGCollect.com - DFT-01X ASSASSIN - Cybertronian Drift

With design by Mastermind Creations Griffith76 and a very limited resin release as DFT-01, this rare item comes in a darker cast colour, for all Drift fanatics out there in Transformer land! He even comes with knifes, a sword, stickers and a mini comic to boot!

Not sure if this was only going to be a limited resin release or if Griffith76 was getting MMC to release this as well as his Hearts of Steel Optimus 'Choo Choo Train' Prime? :-?
