[THE Idiot's Guide to Kitbashing]

do you have a dremel? use the little buffer wheel mebbe?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That too would work

[THE Idiot's Guide to Kitbashing]

Just to ask...

 

What is the best way to remove the 'metallic' paint apps from a LoC figure? The plastic feels and looks different from the normal TF plastic, and I was considering repainting an extra LoC Starscream into another character...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You might be able to scratch it off(not the best way)but it worked with some of the autobot symbols on some energon figures...just a suggestion.

That thread has gotten far to long and jumbled IMO. That's why I didnt put it there.

I'm discussing TF toys....most peoples "hauls" include lots of things completely unrelated to TFs, so again...that's why I put it here in Transformers Toy Discussion under a new thread.

 

As a side note, I find it slightly amusing that rather than commenting on the toys themselves, for instance, "How are they?" or "Is Excellion as cool as he looks?" or something similar, you take the time to merely state: "This goes in the post your hauls thread".

 

As if I was too much of an imbecile to coherently post anything on an internet forum. To each their own I guess. Thanks for the clarification.  :thumb

 

Anyways, Override GTS's paint scheme is a lot more "grown-up" than the previous version, which looks a little more wimpier...more like something in a Happy Meal toy. GTS's darker shades make her look a lot more serious...which of course she should after undergoing what she did to cause the upgrade in the first place.

 

Excellion is a sweet figure...I like this mold a lot anyways, and this new color harkens back more to the G1 Hot Rod than Hot Shots' blue scheme did. Unlike a lot of the car modes in the last toylines, this one is much sleeker and less Playschool Go Bots like.

 

Ramjet and Scythe are sweet little figures...I don't know much about mini cons of the past, as I've only begun to collect them in the current line, but I know many of them are re-paints, but the new color schemes and detail seem to be much better designed and plotted than on past versions.

 

Can't wait for more!

Just because it's jumbled does not mean that it doesn't belong there.

If you ever take that nemesis prime out of the box you're going to love him(I have one too :tftongue ).But you going to have a hell of a time transforming him the first time(took me half an hour). :tfmad

Seems that my hauls are getting more and more spaced apart... oh well.

 

My haul for today:

- Alt Rollbar (Wal-Mart)

- Alt Ricochet (Wal-Mart)

- LoC CD Red alert (TRU)

 

The LoC CD Red alert was bought on a whim... I went out of my way to go to TRU, and I would feel really stupid to leave empty-handed...  A really bad habit to get into, might I remind you all...  :P

 

My Rico and Rollbar are going to stay MISB for a little while...  They're not new molds, so there's no exitement in opening them, and I'm kinda lacking shelf space at the moment, as seen here...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Let me guess your stuff from optimus_racer hasn't arrived yet either?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't worry; when that stuff finally gets in, you'll be hearing about it all right.  :tflaugh

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Same to you pal.If my stuf ever comes.

Wow.  Everyone's getting nice new Optimus' (THS-01, Battle Convoy, etc)

 

Anyhow, here's my lesser Optimus amongst all the great Optimus', nabbed off eBay.

And before anyone goes haywire and kills me for buying any random thing with the "Optimus Prime/Convoy" label, all I have to say is that I never owned a G1 Optimus, nor any of its remolds/recolors/reissues (Magnus, original Pepsi Convoy, the black ones, Takara reissue, Hasbro reissue, etc).  The newer Pepsi Convoy was the easiest way I'd end up with the G1 Prime mold, without having to sell my left kidney (I got this one for $40US after shipping)

 

(Oh, my THS-01 is in the mail somewhere between here and BBTS, and I should be getting RiD Scourge (at least I get the Laser Prime mold) tomorrow)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nice :thumb I also don't have any kind of g1 prime mold.I either want Pepsi Convoy or g1 reisue ultra magnus
