Ah! You wrote exactly what I was going to write... So I agree.
I'm still liking this version for Nemesis Prime, though. The other one looks more "Prime-y", plus comes with all those nice extras for the other Autobots. I could see Nemi pulling this thing, though, and having Dragstrip pull out of the back of it...

Very very nice.

I'm still back and forth on this. Get it or not get it? How much $$$ I have will decide that for me though.

Looks fantastic! It's always been my philosophy as a designer that if the packaging looks good, the distributor really cares about their product. Can't wait to see more shots of the actual trailer!

Luckily, the package was designed by a Classics fan.

Wow! You!? I had no idea. You must be building quite a resume with all of these custom sets being released for the Classics line!

Yup. I did mockups in the stylings of G1, Classics, Universe and Masterpiece. They liked the classics look, so I made it based off that, but with differences, so its not an exact copy of the real Classics packaging. And the bios and techspecs are for each version's rollers.

I don't suppose you could show us the mockups that weren't approved?

I'll see if I can get permission to show them now. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until the trailers are released.

Wow, great work on the packaging, very well done! Pretty awesome that you're a member here.
I'm almost certainly picking up this trailer. I like the futuristic look and it looks great in color. I just hope BBTS doesn't raise the price or anything like that.

The artwork is really well done. I like the looks of this trailer. The details inside and outside are creative.

Hi everyone. The BTS.Toy team just gave me permission to share the mockup designs for their Classics Trailer packaging. You can view them at the link below. Please keep in mind, some elements from the mockups could not be carried over to the final version, like Optimus Prime's face on an early mockup design.

Yes they are. I was told one of the members left, so they changed their name to BTS.Toy.
