Reprolabels.com September Update

Can we get a set to make Marlboro Wheeljack?

I think that maybe the club may take a stab at this in a Diaclone set, which I think this year may be, given some of the hints (about the past).

April and co said they WONT make malboro wheeljack stickers because APPARENTLY it helps sell cigerttes to kids....

Even tho its ADULTS who use reprolabels and even tho its ADULTS who would being using the paypal and bank accounts that ADULTS use.....so yeah

They said there not allowed to because it helps promote smoking to kids. Personally i dont see how because all it is is labels. I dont see a cigerette on the design or anything so i dont really see a problem

I put in an inquiry from the Staff, we'll get this sorted out soon enough.

Edit: Confirmed. A Diaclone version of Wheeljack will not be produced.

No mouth sticker for Thundershred? it might look a little off with the face plate there, but still.

Them Topspin labels look good al be getting them.

Reprolabels must have recently changed their position on Marlboor Wheeljack, if you look on their website it is listed under discontinued along with some others. High horse now, but not always.

I think it has more to do with the Marlboro branding - in both legally selling tobacco paraphernalia worldwide (which has restrictions on a country-by-country basis) and the white 'chevron' on a red background being a recognised trademark of William Morris Tobacco. Who have, and would, sue their, and anyone else's ass.

It's a damn shame, cos I'd have got an extra Wheeljack for that - are there even any garage kits that can be got on eBay - like Formula 1 tobacco decals?

Or tuts on getting the paint off for starters?

2 sets "Topspin" bought

They use to have one but it was pulled out. Funny thing is Malboor aka Malboro is a bunch of misspellings to get around trademark issues. But what about Mirage's Citanes which is actually another tobacco brand sold in Europe Gitanes?

And with all due respect to Reprolabels, not doing a Malboro Wheeljack set is stupid. What kids buy Reprolabels with what paypal account ??? Even Hasbro endorsed cigarettes in the HA Jazz packaging artwork. And in the movies they endorsed everything from hanging robot testicles to Megan Fox's T&A. But now all of a sudden we are concerned about the wishes of soccer moms across the country ??? How wack is that ???

That's right. Tell 'em!
