Hey everyone,
Just a heads up about this auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Transformers-MP-Ultra-Magnus-UPGRADE-KIT-BOTCON-/260793272668?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb87d895c&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101&clk_rvr_id=236975061470. It is for Dreamtoys Ultra Magnus Upgrade kit. The photos make it look ok but unassembled on the MP Magnus. If anyone here is wanting to bid on it you should see what it really looks like on before you bid:

I think it's good that you posted this as the pics can be very (intentionally) misleading. This has always been one of the crappiest 3rd Party "upgrade" kit around. The winner is going to be sorely disappointed...

Looks like someone is going to hit a whammy on this one. That's what happens when you "press your luck".........

Lol wasn't this the one that TFC was going to finance and distribute but backed out and apologized due to how poopy it looked and was?

Current bid stands at USD310. Wonder if the winner will leave negative feedback after he receives, sees and tries on the actual kit (assuming he doesn't know what the final outcome is like in the first place).

Ended at $869.99 with 32 bids. They couldn't have paid me to put this on my MP Magnus.

See what happens when you don't research what you are buying. It took me 5 minutes to find the pic I posted.

From what I understand you can still find these in toys shops in China for like $50 a piece.
I'm totally going to CHina with a empty suitcase is this is true.

Jumping Jupiter, 869! I didn't expect to go beyond 100. I'll wait for a real MP Magnus.

Isn't this not far from the price that one dude sells his custom Magnus armor sets for that don't look totally ridiculous?

Whoever won this probably will never admit that he's the winner after he receives the item...

I've never seen it myself. My nieces and nephews were talking and joking about it last summer so I figured. You know how little kids get.

I remember that "upgrade" kit. Retailers cancelled their orders on this piece because of how crappy it was/is. I won't be ordering it as I don't want that ugly thing and I don't have MP Magnus anyways. I think the company needs to take the whole project back to the drawing board.
