Maybe they can do a few more big cat repaints and make a Voltron colored gift set. The bottom line is I was expecting an original mold.

They original creators might be dead or in a nursing home by now. So I missed the part about it would be based of the Rampage mold, big whoop...All Im saying is if MMC wanted to make a 6th member, dont you think a bear or a gorilla would have been awesome ? That would sell like hotcakes over some lazy retool.
Besides, you could just do what I'm planning to do, and repurpose the sixth Pred as a member of the Mayhem Attack Squaddaimchoc wrote:Rated X wrote:daimchoc wrote:All we have is just a silhouette for Felisaber and MMC has mentioned it before that the mold will be based on Tigris.

Did you miss the reason why they did it? If yes, then maybe you should read up. As for a whole different figure, they might be able to sell it, but not at the price they're looking at.

I just noticed on MMC's website that R-07 Felisaber (the sixth member) will be an exclusive at Planet Steel Express That means I'm auto-passing MMC, you just lost some cash from me.Arctorro wrote:Besides, you could just do what I'm planning to do, and repurpose the sixth Pred as a member of the Mayhem Attack Squaddaimchoc wrote:Rated X wrote:daimchoc wrote:All we have is just a silhouette for Felisaber and MMC has mentioned it before that the mold will be based on Tigris.

Yeah, this seals it for me. If not at BBTS (or possibly Captured Prey) I'm not likely to bite. That's too bad. The saber tooth look is awesome!

What's PSX, and why is it a deal breaker for some?
Are they expensive/unreliable?

Planet Steel Express. I was just at their website, and they appear to deal in MMC product exclusively (though not limited to exclusives. You can get Hexatron there, for instance.) Think Fans Project Core to Fans Project, though I have no experience on their customer service or what relationship they have, if any, with MMC.
For me personally (and I've seen some echo this) it comes down to two factors. The first is reliability/trust. I have done business with BBTS and Captured Prey and trust them completely. (I think it was TFSource that had hacking of their billing system. Same for the TFCC. So them I have less trust in.) I have absolutely no experience with PSX and hadn't heard of them until this thread. The second reason is the Pile of Loot feature. I can order a bunch of stuff, have it add to my pile of loot, and save on shipping costs when I am ready to ship my pile of loot. Plus, BBTS is like an hour away from me, so I always get stuff the next business day when I ship my loot.
If WfC Omega Supreme (Genesis, if I remember correctly) had been at BBTS, I might well have him now. (I gotta work on my impulse buys.)
I understand why MMC is doing this so they don't make extra stock that is unnecessary. However, as was stated here, with most of the mold already paid for with the original figure, it really is only material cost on the re-paint/slight remold. I would think that a run half of the previous figure run would have no trouble selling out, and they would likely sell more than just going through PSX. Just my gut feeling there, though.

ZenPrime wrote:A note of about PlanetSteelExpress, I received the first item I purchased from them. My Super Nova Hexatron arrived in a beat-up shipping box without any packing/insulating materials to protect the item. Fortunately there wasn't too much damage to the Hexatron box itself. So unless they improve their shipping/packing process don't expect your purchase to arrive mint.
