I love how Blastoff looks more like an unmanned air vehicle rather than an actual tiny space shuttle, suits him and blends better with the other combaticons. I want this set.

On a side note - the photographer looks like he needs some new kicks.
*Edit* Damn beaten with the shoe joke

That said, I can look the other way since the the contents of the packaging are just plain awesome

I'd imagine we will see these in July as it's been suspected.
I highly doubt they'll be ready for a June shipment. Unless they've already begun shipping to BBTS and the like, but we've heard nothing about it yet.
I still want them to get crackin' on Protector and the Wreck-Gar figure.

Mike over at Digital-Toys will give me a ring when they are being shipped to him. So I will let you know when that happens.

I agree. The Warbot packaging was really something else. Though I'm guessing that's part of what drove the cost up.
Did anyone else notice that their logo is missing from the corner of the box? You can see the outline for it, but it's not there. What's up with that?

Thank you. We all appreciate that.

Possibly they are producing silver foil logos to go there. Anti-counterfitting and all that...

Yep, it's the same mold.

No....
im ruined wrote:I mean seriously why would these amazing, obviously resembling, figures be able to get out with out these toy factories? They need to make the molds with the plastic and the assembly etc.. You dont mean to tell me some young college kids are makin this stuff at home, do ya?
Of course they're using professional equipment and utilizing a factory, even if it's just leasing it out for a single production run or so. They had molds created, etc. College kids can't do something of that level in their dorm room closet, but no one's claimed that FansProject is anything more or less than that.
im ruined wrote:These 3rd party companies are makin way more profet off of our hard earned dollars by jacking up the prices on their side branch 3rd party companies. I say down with third party companies! Hasbro! Give in to our demands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & yes i am very high. But it makes sense, right?
Wow. Um. Hmm.
Okay...
1.) Hasbro and TakaraTomy have no involvement with these 3rd party companies. Just because they don't prevent them from continuing their business, doesn't mean they're in cahoots or support them.)
2.) Down the the 3rd party folks? No. They're giving us what we want, giving us what we never dreamed of with Hasbro and TakaraTomy. Why on Earth would we want that to change??
3.) To be honest, no, your post doesn't make much sense. Plus mentioning that your high is probably a big no no. (I'm almost certain that discussion of that nature is frowned upon...) And in all honesty, I think you might've gotten a bad batch, because you may not know it, but you're being paranoid here.
Must be strong stuff, lol
EDIT: You've posted this same thing three times, I've counted. It's gone through, seriously. Please stop reposting it. Please? Your posts will end up getting yanked, don't get yourself into trouble, man.

Can't wait to put Bruticus together with these guys taking their rightful place.

It sounds worrying like secret code for "these figures are incredibly breakable" to me...

You're definitely NOT alone. This is the highlight of my TF shopping this year. Well, this and the Botcon set actually.

They're all labeled that way. It's so they don't fall under the toy safety laws, like tiny things, pointy things, drop-test failing things, etc.

And I'm looking forward to these too.

I own their city commander armor, their Energon Aerialbots upgrades, their classics Prime trailer and Warbot Defender. Each one is high-quality and well worth the money.

A lot of hard work was put into these guys. They're worth the money.
