...I think the Jet Twins look terrible with that set on. There's something about them being left as is (though panel lining does help bring out loads of detail) that adds to their overall lovable design. These labels are just a tad too busy and make the whole thing look...not show accurate and a mess.
Though I do love the smile labels. Those are well worth getting. Too bad you can't buy just those pieces.

"In Soviet Union, stickers upgrade YOU!" Still, those Animated 'jets' look smeg-awful with those stickers...

And, as usual, Reprolabels drops the ball. Again.
Wasn't the whole point of Mini-Spies that they DON'T have faction logos, but rubsigns instead? They ALMOST manage to help Smokescreen, but leave those hideously awful yellow spoilers. How hard would it have been to wrap them in blue, or white - or some 'corporate sponsor'? And I think we can all agree that the Jet Twins look ridiculous with all of that garbage all over them.
It's safe to say that Reprolabels won't receive any more of my money until they come up with a product that actually improves a toy, rather than change it for change's sake.

Whoa chief. You're entitled to your opinion, but don't you think you're being unfair?
So they haven't made anything that was to your liking in the current offering, but to say they've dropped the ball is a little unfair towards them.
And if bothers you that bad, you don't have to buy their product, but making a post with the tone this harsh is a little excessive in voicing your displeasure.
It's your right, and no one can take that from you, but is it really worth getting that up in arms about?
O_o

I think I'm missing something here. What's the story behind that train?

Back in 85 (I believe) Tyco made a TF train set where the cars would actually transform and roll around the track.
Apparently it's extremely rare to find complete, and Reprolabels has restored and replicated the decals for it.
There were cardboard buildings to go with it, among other things.
It's a pretty expensive piece if you can find one.

Just for the record, I would like to go on to say that I suggested a few ideas to Reprolabels.Com. One of which, actually made it into being- that being the design for Suki's Honda S2000 from 2 Fast 2 Furious, which I thought specifically for any Alternator TFs that transformed into the S2000. Sadly, however, my other ideas did not receive attention. Oh well, can't win them all.
