Thanks for coming and talking with our users/community about your product. There is a lot of interest in the area of 'add-ons' and I know that the excitement surrounding your upgrade for Roadbuster buzzed here for a long time.

And I was very happy to see about a week ago, an e-mail with a request for payment for a set, when I ordered late last time around, and thought I would not get one.

So I'm looking forward to getting this in the mail soon (got the ship notice).

Now, can you fix the squattiness of the figure? I want him to be taller!!!

Got my confirmation e-mail too..hopefully I see the kit by Friday. I have wanted this kit for a while!

I never got a follow-up email...

Am I just **** out of luck here?

Nahh dude, just send em an e mail asking what's up. I had to and they told me the shipping date and when to expect the kit.

Yeah, just be patient. I think this guy is doing it all on his own. So it might be a bit before he gets back to you. I remember hearing about emails going out with the first wave and I never got confirmation. A few months later, I got an email confirmation and so did a bunch of other at TFCC where I posted and it seems to comes in waves. So you'll get something from his letting you know. Just be patient CP. I think Nato-bot's Roadbuster will look pretty bad ass standing next to ROTF Brawn. I'ma team them two up!!

I'm totally cool with waiting longer for Nato-bot to take my money. No rush :3

Got my RB kit today. LOVE IT. This thing is amazing IMO how much it transforms (ha) this rather bland figure...









Man...this kit is more than I expected as far as fun and quality goes. Nato-bot is an awesome company. Great customer service, communication and a KICK-ASS product. This thing took me 6 seconds to assemble and no broken pieces at all. Super well packaged. No sanding, no painting...strictly WIN. Thanks so much Nate and I WILL be ordering again in the future should you venture in other directions.

Man, I am loving this thing. I can't put it down...worth every penny. A true classics Roadbuster. Stoked.

Besides the armament that Nato-bot gave in the set, I also have Universe Dropshot's gun with RB. Now he's armed to the teeth!!

Ha! That's not a bad idea! I knew I should have gotten 2 arm cannons for him!

Now I REALLY want that email saying I scored one of these sets . G1 roadbuster was one of my top 5 TF's, and I really like the look of this set. Come one Nato-bot, hook a brother up!!!!

That is win!

Got mine in the mail today. And while the top head piece did snap, I think it was my fault for being too rough with it.

I'm hoping a little of my wife's crafty glue stuff will work for holding it together, because it does look really cool!

Aww that's a bummer dude! If you can't fix it just e-mail Nate. I am sure he will replace the part at least once. I was hoping I wouldn't have a problem like that. Mine truly took me 6 seconds to snap together. Pretty simple and awesome.

I got my invoice email this morning , and I originally requested to be put on the waiting list a few days after it "sold out" so there is hope for anyone else who asked to be added to the list.


Just a heads up to anyone who get's an invoice, it is either Paypal or Money Order for payment, and it's due within 10 days.


I had to send a money order, my paypal account is way low(like 4 bucks low ). I'd suggest getting some funds in the paypal account asap!

I've been on the wait list for the NWS-02RB Roadbuster upgrade from early April and I got skipped? People who ordered it 4 months after me received it and I still haven't even gotten an email that it's availible again? I'm really pissed now! I'm trying to be level headed about this but they're getting this email linked to the confirmation they sent me back on April 10:

It has come to my attention that this product has been offered again and in fact has even been received by people who more recently ordered it. I was told when I submitted my order that I was put on your waiting list. I was not informed that the item was availible again and feel slighted as to have been passed over for your product. I am still interested and would like to hear back from you.

Trying to keep the fangs in so to speak.

So fraking pissed right now...

I'd hold off if I were you. I just got the invoice email today, and I got put on the waiting list about a month before you did. I was put on the waiting list on 03/03/09, and it had "sold out" in late February. he's making a bunch more, and I am sure he is at least making one for every waiting list request. Lord knows he will be able to sell any extras on eBay.

It sounds like it is one guy doing it all, taking, making and shipping the orders, so give it a little time. I emailed him on July 21st (Tuesday) and he got back to me the next day saying I should get my invoice "sometime next week" meaning sometime between the 27th and the 1st of August, and I just got it today, the 5th of August.

Trust me, I am WAY impatient, but just give it a little time. If you piss off the one guy doing it all, you are probably not going to get one

And that's why I try to be as polite as possible when I'm made online. I thought optimus Magnus had just ordered it. My bad.

I hate coming across as a dick online. I'm better at it in person!

It's all good.


Hey, my employee's don't refer to me as "asshole" because I'm round and puckered, that's fer sure!

Just got around to installing this kit today after having it for months. The kit look great, unfortunately while taking apart of the original head I found out that the column that holds the head in place was split and cracked by the screw. Debating if I should superglue the head in place or just leave it and not move it too much so it won't break off....

That's pretty much correct. There where about 150 "waiting list" orders, and I'm making about 200 more (total, not 350)to cover some new orders, so if you were on the wait list before the "second-run" announcement you should be good.

And yes, I'm making these by my self in my garage. I've got a friend helping out with the emails and orders (thanks Chris), but these were designed by me prototyped by me and manufactured by me. Then I do all the post-mold clean up and assembling (with some help from my wife), all the packaging and the shipping. It's taken a lot longer than I'd hopped, but I've learned a lot in the proses. My next project should go much faster (both fingers crossed).

Thanks for all your support (and patience),
Nate

Are you all close to having the waiting list all responded to?

I haven't gotten a response yet and though I'm not impatient about it, I just wanted to see if perhaps my order did go in too late.

Was the "Piss off the guy doing it all and you won't get anything at all" bit right too?

J/K You know as well as any of us how much fans get crazy about an item they are waiting to hear about. I'm sure you have recieved way more nasty emails then you have nice ones. Heck, the first one I sent wasn't exactly sunshine and roses!

Counterpunch wrote:Are you all close to having the waiting list all responded to?

Not really, I've only gone though about 50 of them.

Eehh... no

Lol...this kit IMO is worth the wait and the money. I ave read that folks have had problems with installation but, I had NO problems whatsoever. And, I was on the waiting list since last March. Totally worth the time...I love this thing.
