I have a set on order. The waiting list is pretty long from what I guess though. I placed an order about only a few hours after he announced it and I juuust got my confirmation last week to make payment. I ordered two sets of spikes, ax, and chest. I'm waiting for him to do another head set. I didn't want the one he listed. He mentions that he has a few head designs that he will eventually do/sell. I've heard nothing but praise from those that have ordered the sets. Even from other recognized customizers.

It was posted briefly the other day before it was pulled down. All the details, info and a few pics are in this thread here.

I have it. It's real. It's custom parts not a third party product. I provided a link to a thread we already have abut it with pictures. Stop trolling.

cool but where did you order it from?

Since this is a garage kit, he was accepting request via PM at tfw. You will need to go to their boards, scroll down to "creative", then click on "creative market place", then "commissioner listing and feedback", look for "Wreck-Gar custom add-on parts" posted by MAIDEN JAPAN and the look at the thread. You will see options to assemble what you want. It's done in different sets and colors. PM and wait...probably a long wait at this time because this was listed at the end of feb and I know the kit has been a pretty hot topic. Like I said in my post above, I just got a payment request last week and I PM'd him my request only about 2-3 hours after the post went up.

Payment via paypal only I think.

Looks like they have stopped taking orders for now but will again soon.

thanks for the info. So do I understand correctly that you can access a list of customizers at TFW and actually commission items?

Oh yeah. I have a few customs being made for me now besides the ones that are being produced for the general collector like the wreck-gar add on. I have a Darkcave customs being made for me now, and I'm planning my next custom buy from Mechafire as we speak. I frequent their radicons pretty often. Lots of incredible stuff there.

that sounds sweet! how does one access that section of their site, i'd love to commission a thing or two! Could you give an example of what you've had made and an approximate price range? I realize this would depend on the customizer but i just need an idea.

I think MJ was just overwhelmed. Let's face it, everyone who saw this wanted it and most wanted more than one set. Doing things to order like this is always more taxing then originally assumed. MJ'd have had to hire people just to keep up with the sudden demand just to have it dry up just as quickly.

No doubt. Im sure that rendeeform can feel his pain.. It's a amazingily simple kit but when your doing it all by yourself and by hand the awesomeness can work against you. I told him that when he gets his head back above water to let me know..This is one add on set Im very suprised that one of the other big time 3rd party companies didnt think of. It's that awesome...
