Cheers. I still have to find one. My knockoff tigertrack order was lost, so I'm still looking.

Welcome.

That sucks...I hope you find one (for a great price). In any case keep me posted!

Will do. Actually, the original version was difficult for me, as I ordered the G1 version from Ehobby and that order was lost! I ordered a set of two (the other going to "transformers at the moon") but it was lost. Takara, at the time, under no obligation, sent me a set of two with no real questions asked. That was amazing of them.

The MP is still elusive, though.

Damn...I never ordered from Ehobby but always heard good things about them so that's a shock. The only Takara I ever bought was MP Rodimus Prime but you gotta love Takara!

It wasn't Ehobby, sorry. My bad. It was Million Publishing, via a magazine. A local toyshop offered to order them for me as I couldn't read Japanese at the time. However, the shop forgot that I even gave them the money, so I was not a happy bunny. In steps Takara and I was saved!

Never heard of Million Publishing but Wow...just goes to show how awesome Takara truly is!

These are all really awesome, but since you have so many and you keep making threads for them I'd recommend just making one thread for all these G2 customs rather than one for each new one you make.

Million Publishing makes the Japanese "TF Collections" books every year or so. Usually, at the back, is a form to cut out and send to them to order an exclusive repainted figure. For example, the red and green Skids set was via then, as was the G1 green ratchet/black Ironhide set.

As for combining pics into one thread, it's a mixed bag; on one hand, you avoid"spamming" a forum with loads of threads (which pushes other threads down), but if you only use one thread for all subsequent customs, you run the risk of "burying" your latest ones on "page 164", etc.

One possibility is that you could make new threads for clutches of new customs, which would be a good alternative, perhaps?

Individual threads are fine.

Thanks! I considered combining all of them but was afraid the post would be way to massive so I just made them individually.

Have a search for Kanrabat, he has individual threads for his stuff but then has a main thread where he posts links to all the various threads.

I do indeed have a story. I PM'd it to you the other day to avoid cluttering the thread with it.

Got it, thanks for the heads up!!

My final G2 entry (at least until I find more G1 junkers). I've been wanting a pink and orange Hot/Rodimus Prime since '86. Since Hot Rod was more purplish in the G2 comics I decided to go with Rodimus. He's kinda plain without any stickers but until I decide on what colors to use (and get my printer working) these oics will have to do. In case anyone is wondering what's up with the spoiler, this figure didn't come with one. I had to cut one out of a plastic kids plate and attach it with an old Bionicle peg.
