3rd party products are expensive enough as it is. I for one am much happier with things the way they are with Renderform.I paid more for the Goldbug set than the actual figure it's going on, so I could do without future products having to be bought from collector webstores, who have to jack up the prices on everything. ESPECIALLY if it's going to be popular/uncommon. Look at RTS Windcharger. He's a flippin' scout that costs more online than two deluxes bought from, say, TRU.

I dread to think what Renderform products would cost us if we had to buy from places like BBTS and Kapow Toys.

Still working on the final prices for the new announced stuff. The RFX-001 axes are $20 each, as set by the pricing at Cherry Bomb Toys. The shield and sword sets will be $20 each, or $18 each if bought in multiples. The Hound gun will be $12 and come with a 1 random weapon. HotRod's guns pricing will be finalised tomorrow. I might make a smaller Hound gun for next month, and do a bundle deal with the ravage missiles, when their ready. So if you want the Ravage missiles and Hound guns, wait till next month for a bundle deal. Or a smaller Hound gun, wait till next month as well.

Ah come one man, I didn't mean to sound like a dick or anything. This is just a thought, but a friend of mine started an E-Cig store with a website and online store. I helped him take photos for his product and in like 2 hours, we had over a hundred items for sale at the click of button. It's very simple. You are required to be a liscensed business and company (an LLC works fine) and that's it. If you are planning on selling to online retail websites, you would have to have these things anyways. NetworkSolutions.com is even better than GoDaddy and if you are modeling these things in Blender or AutoCAD or Maya 3DSM you, without a doubt, can handle a web page, especially a "follow the onscreen instructions" website. Christ I'll do it for you if you don't have the time. Your products rock, but you have to admit, your products are the only available that require so much.... maneuvering. And please consider a once-a-year product box set that includes one each of the Renderform offerings for 2011, 12, 13 and so on. Even if it was more expensive, I'd buy one, and I'm sure MANY others would too.

Hey dude, no worries, I understood you were not being harsh or anything on purpose. The order page can be definitely better. I just haven't had time to find the best option that works for me. I will try to have a new setup for tomorrow's sale. I don't want to do the who E-cart system as it makes it look like my site has an actual store.

Good, glad you didn't think I was being a dick. I wanted to add that I'm fan for life of Renderform. Your prices are certainly the lowest of the 3rd party offerings and you seem to care more about "getting it right" than some of the money grabbers out there. Keep it up!

Definitely going to wait for the Hound/Ravage Combo(need both Classics and SG Ravage Missiles). Depending on the Hot Rod gun prices, may order something tomorrow.

I hope they're doing the 'pay later' option for this stuff, cause my money is gone, and my next payday isn't for 2 weeks. Be a damn shame to miss out due to unfortunate timing.

Tonight is going to be very expensive. I'll probably skip RW-001*, as I'm not collecting the HoS Prime molds, but I'll be getting:

RW-005 gray
RW-005 black
RW-005 orange
RW-006 blue
RW-006 orange
RW-007 purple

I'm also going to get RW-003 + RW-004 when that bundle becomes available.

Anyone know what RW-002 is?

I'm probably only going to get one set of Cavalier rifles in gray, and every sword/shield colour available. There's just not enough shields in Transformers.

I suspect RW-001 and -002 would be the Prime and Megatron upgrades. I guess the Seekers will be RF kits?

What makes an upgrade kit fall into the RF category vs the RW category?

Venksta can correct me if I'm wrong, but RF is Figure upgrades and RW is Weapons.

RW-002 are the seeker missiles.

Man, the way the swords have the Autobot/Decepticon symbols on them is damn tight. In person, the Blue Sword/Shield looks spot on for Jazz.

Order page is up for the RFX axes, and other weapons mentioned.

http://www.renderform.com/order-page/

I wasn't able to setup the new ordering system in time, but once that is completed, it should make it much better for everyone to order. There just two issues I couldn't figure out in time.

At the rate things are going, the order page will probably be up for a couple days.

RF was just Renderform. RW is actualled Rendered Weapons. RF will contain mainly the upgrade kits, and RW will be just weapons sets.

all this renderform stuff looks awesome.

renderform creates awesome stuff. i have the RF-05 Darkwind head & it looks awesome on my classics 2.0 ultra sized darkwing toy.

Thanks for the clarification!

The Blackguard sets will be available to order again when the Meow Rocket sets are available, right?
