cuters wrote:yes you are correct you did do half of it. i had to soak it in rubbing alcohall take all the paint off repaint it canabalize other seekers for the parts just to make it transform if you told me the condition it was in (broken peices missing alot of pins and the lack of transforming) i would not have paid so much for it but you did give me insperation to make it better i really liked your take on my favorite tf but i had to make myself feel better about the price i paid for it so i remade the hole thing just used the same body and head plus tail fins.please don,t take this the wrong way i,m not trying to be rude really i,m not and thank you for the kind word,s for the thrust.so everyone us and them formally samiwcp had made the original toy for me i like thunder cracker and have a large thunder cracker collection and wanted a new one for it, i just was not expecting to do so much work on it.

Over paid for it? I charged you about 20$ less than I was charging everyone else. The painting I did on it was of the same quality I've done for everyone else over the last 2 years..I didn't hack anything on it. I've not had a single complaint on any of my work from anyone and have had many repeat customers. And as far as the condition of the figure, I specifically told you what was wrong with the figure..You couldn't get a new one, I said I had one available that was my original mock up one, but he he was missing the one tail fin and the one elbow joint had a crack in it. That was it. You were informed of all of that, and you knew all of that. You specifically asked me not to add those finishing touches onto it so that you could do it. Just as you very well could have asked for anymore finishing touches. You asked me to paint him in the style I've painted all my Thundercrackers. And anyone who has seen my work knows I frequently post update pics, so it wasn't a case of just sending him out blind to you. Now I'm sorry I couldn't send any of the spray paint along with it, but it's against USPS law to send that stuff through the mail. It's a chemical. Don't try to make it out like I conned you on this or something. You paid for a figure that you knew the condition of, and still I reworked it all for you to make it look even better than it originally had. That's poor business.

but i still cannot give you creadit for the fig its not the same fig you sent and you know that i never said you do bad work your work is just fine i would not ever try to discourage anyone from doing business with you this transaction was my bad for not asking more questions after you told me it was a mock up and that it did not transform and had the missing pins and broken and missing parts for $50 plus shipping.

You found an extra Ramjet? I went to the toy shops, there's none of it. Only saw Astrotrain.

Just before X-mas the Walmarts in my area were full of Classic Ramjets in the clearance racks.So I bought one.I also did a Dirge a few months back when they were first released.

Well, that's just prime.

You can make interchangeable wings.

by **cuters** » Thu Jan 03, 2008 11:25 pm

yup i have made one other thrust for my buddie,s brother. after so much trial and anger i finally got it right to my standards and can easly make more.but they are fragile you drop him they will break. they are not molded but they could easly be done if someone had the time.

by **Auto Bot** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 12:59 am

Did you base that on the G1 toy?

by **cuters** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:17 am
