I know, I already own both leader Megatron and leader Galvatron from Energon. I meant the kit.Tidalwavex wrote:metaphorge wrote:Just might be interested if they do a leader-class sized version....
the energon megatron toy mold did get released in both size levels,ultra & leader sized. so it can be done. i'm just not sure what experience the seller/customizer has in regards to increasing the 3rd party thunder kit parts molds to a bigger or smaller size level.

IMHO,The thunderwing parts kit,is clearly for the ultra sized Energon Megatron toy colors. as 1988 Thunderwing didn't have any purple nor silver colors on his toy.IMHO,even if the seller increased the kit to leader sized,it's clearly for the energon leader MEGATRON sized toy colors. as 1988 thunderwing's toy colors didn't have any purple nor silver on it. i'm sure it might have had extremly minor highlights of maybe purple or silver but the majority colors clearly was not purple nor silver.
I know what you were referring to. you wanted the 3rd party thunderwing kit to be increased to the leader size level. so the thunderwing kit parts could fit on the leader sized energon megatron/galvatron toy mold.
I was merely pointing out that their were two sizes this energon megatron/galvatron toy mold came out in.
I was trying to say,if the seller/customizer of this 3rd party thunderwing kit knew how to increase & de-crease molds. he could make more money by offering buyers their desired size level for this kit. (1) option one the thunderwing kit is sized to fit the energon/super-link megatron/galvatron ultra sized toy mold. (2) option #2,the thunderwing kit is sized to fit the leader sized energon megatron/galvatron toy mold.El Duque wrote:If you don't already have that mold to put it on good luck finding one.
I agree,the TRU Exclusive 2 pack of the energon ultra sized megatron & deluxe energon optimus primer gift set was extremly hard to find at TRU stores when it came out. to get a set misb on ebay is extremly hard & the price tag can be higher than what some are willing to pay to get these toys. even tyring to get these 2 toys loose on ebay can be hard to find & rather exspensive to obtain.
Their was no release of the energon ultra sized toy in galvatron colors.
The super-link Galvatron ultra sized toy was easy to buy from on-line retailers & ebay back in the day when it first came out,it was exspensive but easy to get on-line. right now these days,the super-link ultra sized megatron/galavatron toys can be extremly hard to find on ebay & quite exspensive in either misb or loose condition.
As far as the leader sized energon megatron/galvatron toys goes. The energon leader sized Galvatron toy loose or MIB or MISB can be extremly hard to find on the secondary market & very exspensive. i'm sure some can find one on ebay but how many are willing to pay over $100 to obtain one. thus the waiting game of trying to find one at a decent price on ebay ensures.
IMHO,The energon leader sized megatron toy mold is extremly more easier to find on ebay & other on-line sites. the price for a non-boxed one cost really cheap. the price for a MIB or MISB is also very cheap. the energon leader sized megatron toy mold is cheaper for 3 major reasons: (1) it was produced in much higher volume units. (2) IMHO,The majority want the energon leader sized GALVATRON toy,because the design sculpt was made for galvatron's 1986 robot design & not G-1 Megatron's. IMHO,Most TF fans think the AEC Galvatron colors look better than the AEC Megatron toy colors. (3) At one point hasbro was pratically giving away both energon leader sized megatron & leader sized optimus. by having both faction leader taped together in a value pack & selling both of them for $39.99. IMHO, so a lot of fans stocked up & hoarded both energon leader sized megatron & optimus toys. Some seperated them & sold them on ebay ASAP while others hoarded them & sold them eventually thru the years on ebay.

That's another FP Insecticon I could get. This morning, 10 hours after the auction ended I might add, he responded to my question about pictures of a completed sample with "...my cell phone was stolen and it contained all the pics." That's too much to go on sight unseen.
I have too much to buy and too much I'm already making to get this kit on the outside chance it would be worth it. What sucks is I have a Voyager E Megatron in my parts bin from an aborted Straxus I was working on a year ago so I was completely prepared for this set.

Had this thunderwing kit been in colored plastic. or had the seller use dry brush strokes or airbrushed this toy. I might have bought it.
personally i'm not that great at running to hobby shops,buying paint & using a paint brush to paint this. I'm no expert at selecting the proper hobby paint & know nothing about which paints are the best & which rank the worst.
Honestly paying $60 for the kit. then paying $10 more in paint supplies. then spending hours is not something i'm willing to do. hand painting this kit would take all the joy away from this toy. as it's always frustrating for me to paint stuff & i'm not a skilled toy painter.
