Hi guys,

Just came across this on BBTS.. The wonderfest model kits are beautiful... but shame about the pricing. For a figure that small, its a rip off but man I wished they did a decent sized Ultra Magnus of their kit. That figure looks gorgeous.

If they came painted and assembled...... I would be very tempted. By you'd have to be really skilled to pull them off as good as the picture. Shockwave looks gorgeous

those are outrageously expensive... the one thing I didn't like about Revoltech was that they were based on Pat Lee art. It appears most of these kits are based on that as well. meh

They don't look too hard to paint in my opinion as a past modeler.

BTW the price is so high probably due to the fact that the parts are cast in resin and not injection plastic. Resin kits usually come with extremely good details but are a pain to clean all the excess flash off of and fill in holes.

Wasn't there a thread around here somewhere about Transformer models? It would be good to see some $50-60 good quality plastic kits (but this is for the other thread...).
