[CBratron]

Looks good. Almost enough for me to consider dropping the Gigapower Dinobots and instead going for Fanstoys.

Almost.

[Trent]

Much better than GPs IMO. I'm not paying the BBTS premium though.

[WeallscreamforStarscream]

loving FT and their work! will be getting this to add to the collection for sure.

Just wait a couple of weeks and get it cheaper EVERYWHERE ELSE!!

Hear-hear! - Will be keeping my eyes peeled over at Chimungmung, like many others no doubt - Action Robo might be worth scoping too perhaps? ;)

[Gofigure]

3p is really giving hasbro a thumping this year. I'm just loving all these dinobot releases. We are really spoilt for choice.

[Omega Metro]

I'm soooo annoyed with this 3rd party stuff. I'm trying so hard to resist the temptation to buy these. :D

[Tober]

Okay, cool. It was $189.99 when I posted it last night tho...

[VGMStudios]

The two really look pretty close.
If I buy one, it will depend on price as well as final product.. naturally.

Both looks good.

[liegeprime]

Was Scoria even released yet? I haven't seen a listing, it's always - Preorder .... :o

Still preorder. BBTS still says May, while Tfsource says it's delayed until June. Not long either way.

[theshape]

Ive pre ordered swoop, but i think ill wait for scoria to arrive before pre ordering this guy

[WeallscreamforStarscream]

Tony from Chimungmung confirmed that Scoria was pushed back to mid June, and sold out.

I like pre ordering from him coz he's a lot cheaper than BBTS and gives a sticker sheet with the 3P's so you can stick an Autobot insgnia on it :)

Agreed, he does a pretty good job - I hope that FansToys does a 2nd run of Scoria and that Chimungmung receives some stock :o, I missed the opportunity to order through Tony & the "Toy Accurate" version of Scoria doesn't seem to be eventuating. :(

[kaiden]

Okay, cool. It was $189.99 when I posted it last night tho...

yeah, i wasn't trying to make you look bad or anything - was adding the link and saw the new price.

$154.90 from RK (http://www.robotkingdom.com/ft05t-3226.html)

i wonder if the fantoys rep forgot his name, starts with 'D' will offer us a cheaper direct purchase like he did with Shockwave?

send Tony an email, im sure he's getting extra stock in!

[Gofigure]

It's awesome we are getting so much G1 3p dinobot options from various companies

It's not so awesome I don't have buckets of money to get them all

First world problems

[Hursticon]

send Tony an email, im sure he's getting extra stock in!

I certainly hope he's able to dude. :)

Come on man, is it really necessary to abbreviate "3rd Party" to "3P"!? :confused::rolleyes:

Really? - Whole sentences must be agony. >_<

[Gofigure]

I'm not fazed either way man.

Happy to revert to 3rd Party.

All happy? Let the discussion around these exciting releases continue!!!

Please don't get me wrong dude, I'm certainly not trying to dictate to anyone - It just bugs me is all, much like "C.H.U.G". :o

Yourself & Kaiden are perfectly within your right to type whatever you like, it wont make me think ill of you, it'll just irk me to read it is all - Me just being anal. :p
(I hope our discussions on 3rd Party/Independant Transforming-Robot Groups don't end up reflecting that of TFW's sub-forum on the subject :o - I think we're better than that ;))

Now, bring on the Sludge pics & preorders!!! :D:cool:

[Gofigure]

No sweat at all Hursticon

The 'come on man' part of your comment, I can see now, I took in a different way than what was intended. Caught me a little on the defensive :) But I see the meaning now and how you were just commenting generally on abbreviation of individual TF lines

All fine here. Another instance of 'text has no tone' hehe

And yes, let's keep the info on the releases flowing

[kaiden]

Really? - Whole sentences must be agony. >_<

yep.

[Trent]

yep.

:)

[Hursticon]

yep.

:p:D

[Hursticon]

Preorders are now up at Chimungmung (http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php?products_id=1934). :cool:

[Tober]

Up at TFI (http://www.tfidownunder.com/shop/fanstoys-ft-06-sever/) as well. $160 AUD + $12 shipping. :cool:

[1AZRAEL1]

I want it, but where are the colour pictures?

[Gofigure]

$12 shipping is extremely tempting

i might have to bite and support this business :)

[MayzaPrime]

$12 shipping is extremely tempting

I was thinking the same thing...

[drahsrebu]

Give them a go. I can't speak highly enough of their service.

[Oberon Sexton]

Give them a go. I can't speak highly enough of their service.

+1 I've bought from them a couple times (even got my Scoria from them). It's pretty nice having decent prices AND shipping costs at the same time. They're pretty quick too, As a QLD based business, and me being from Brisbane, I got my stuff in 2 nights. Nothing sucks more than waiting about 2 weeks for stuff to come from Hong Kong.

[kurdt_the_goat]

Sooo someone tell me if i preorder at TFI downunder is it a deposit or the whole lot - and now or when it ships?

Pay the lot in advance. I did it for my Scoria pre-order. I'll probably do it again for this one and Soar/not-Swoop too. The shipping cost are fantastic, but just to let you know, I got my Scoria about a week after everyone else who were getting theirs from places like BBTS and RK. I think it has something to do with the large quantity coming into Australia all at once, giving customs a hard time, lol.

[AJ_Prime]

I'm really loving the Fanstoys take on G1 dinobots. Once they are all released I'll pick them up in one go. Also looking forward to seeing what they do with Grimmy!

[Gofigure]

looks vicious in alt mode

im in!

[Sinnertwin]

I prefer Giga's alt mode & Sever's robot mode.

[Trent]

Looks good. I think that there are things that Giga's does better, but this is the Snarl for me.

[Gofigure]

So when you preorder do you have a choice of full payment or deposit on preorder with TFI?

[leej84]

The arms and legs in alt mode look a bit thin. And the tail spikes look undersized. Those r my main concerns

[leej84]

So when you preorder do you have a choice of full payment or deposit on preorder with TFI?

I think it's only full payment, which is wat I done for Feral Rex Tigris

[Lord_Zed]

Looking good, but his dino mode does need a bigger thagomizer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer)

[Krayt]

Less than 8 left at RK...

[Tfiguy]

[QUOTE=kurdt_the_goat;429627]Sooo someone tell me if i preorder at TFI downunder is it a deposit or the whole lot - and now or when it ships?

It's now buy now, pay later Kurt. No upfront deposit. You get an email with the invoice when the item is near ready to ship. There is no option to pay upfront. We just can't do it with the website unfortunately.

WOWWWW so awesome.. he looks the best of the lot in bot mode too.

Sometimes i think i should get 2 of every one to show both modes... ahh money:rolleyes:

Is there an ETA on this somewhere? Tfsource says June :-S tfidownunder says april... Man i'd love to be able to pick up sever and apolyon next month from tfi

[Crimson Prime]

I hope TF Source have it soon so my one and my Blue Soar will finally ship.

[AJ_Prime]

Still torn between this guy and Gigapower's Guttur....

[CoRDS]

Still torn between this guy and Gigapower's Guttur....

i was for a while but then i remembered im going for cartoon not toy.

guttur seems to be going for the g1 toy look while sever is going for animation look

[WeallscreamforStarscream]

Chimungmungs page says available first quarter 2015.. So anytime soon i guess :)

[Juggernaut]

Gigapower Guttur for the win!

[WolfenBaz]

Dalianjj has updated on FB/TFW that due to the amount of preorders (therefore have to produce more) it has been pushed back to June.

He also mentioned they're changing the face sculpt (improved but not quite there imo) and adding a piece that covers the cargo bay on the bottom of the dino mode to be released with next dibot.

He also mentioned not-sludge design is almost done.

June? Guess spotter will be pushed back to december than? >_<

[Tober]

From TFW2005


well, we are really busy right now because 04t,04x,06,09 will be released arround the same time. And we have 2-3 figure to be revealed in next month. I will be here when we have something new to show.

Looking forward to seeing that Sludge. :)

[Hursticon]

Looking forward to seeing that Sludge. :)

Ditto - He'll be the lone MP Dinobot (Other than the Grimlock I already own) that I intend to get, very much looking forward to seeing how they've handled him given the sheer amount of time it's taken to develop his design. ;):)

[Otter]

He looks perfect to me.

[STL]

Having just received Soar from TFI, my one quibble with them is I hope they get the chrome gold colour consistent for Sever. Its changed significantly between Soar and Scoria. MP Grimlock again is different but I can live with that b/c they're looking to redo him but its very jarring to see the gold colour differences.

Same here, I went with red soar to have the clear, for toy nostalgia (only g1 dinobot i had), and i had also seen the gold diff from blue soar reviews. However the clear beak thing doesnt look as good as i'd hoped in dino mode, so i replaced it with thegold one anyway. It's not that bad for me because he's on the stand and my dinobot/dibots are on top of my bookshelf, but from what i've hear the gold on sever more matches swoop than scoria's.

Just come out already geez, was hoping to get apolyon and sever at the same time so i didnt have to reshuffle things twice.

[CoRDS]

i like how they all have a different shade of gold , i actually hope they all have different shades of it and that none of them have the exact same gold

[Tober]

For better or worse, yeah, they will all have a different color of gold chrome. It bugged me at first and then I accepted it.

I like it. They're a team. Not clones.

DaimChoc Reports (https://www.facebook.com/DaimChocReports) has posted images of the optional parts for FansToys FT-06 Sever which will come with FT-07 Stomp.

[Tober]

Cool, but that gap never really worried me. :)

And given the apparent weight problems with Stomp, we probably won't wee it until about mid next year. :(

[ZoonMaster5000]

My fanstoys sever broke today! one of the red plastic pieces of the spiny plate snapped only transformed twice.

Thankfully it cant be seen in robot mode and it happily clips into place in dino mode but still a very heart sinking feeling...

[Otter]

Where did you order your Sever from?

Can they get you replacement parts?

Trying to sort that out but the people I bought it through aren't being very quick to reply.

[WeallscreamforStarscream]

just go to FT direct on the facebook page. they're pretty ok with replacement parts if you need them.

Jeez that's rough sorry to hear that

Hope it's not a reflection of the QC

[ZoonMaster5000]

Hopefully it's just a one off. Was simply putting it back into robot mode to put it back into its box. As I went to swing the piece around for his spiny back pack it didn't even snap it just kind of came away and fell off.

It's the little back hinged part of the spiny plate so hopefully they can just give me that and I get round to fixing the poor guy
