The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

[Batfan007]

rates vary based on the item obviously, but an example my toyworld not dirge elegy was $27.55 for e-express service shipping.

took 6 days to get here.

Cool. Thanks.

Just wanted a ballpark figure. I had no idea. Some stores are like super cheap while others are crazy expensive for postage, and I've mostly bought from ebay, ali express and HLJ with cheap and free shipping so I literally had no idea, and a lot of the site calculators on those foreign sites give you estimates on shit for postage (weight / box size can vary etc) then you find at checkout it's more than expected, or that if you spent like you know $10 more you get free shipping and stuff like that, I like to have some idea to save myself a headache.

i get about 95% of my stuff from robotoybase (chimunmung)mostly because he is the best combo of cheap and fast. and the rest from tf-direct.

Ace02 hicup (not hubcap) arrived today

Over the holidays I finally got a chance to transform my Maketoys Protectobots into Guardia. Behold.....



I must say that he went together a lot easier than Quantron did. Not-Hotspot had a few difficulties until I You Tubed a video which informed me to trim a few tabs (something I am always nervous about doing on such an expensive toy), after that everything went together smoothly. I am very impressed and happy with him, Defensor was always my favourite combiner so I wanted him to be good and I was not disappointed. I like him as much as I like my Green Giant 61. Kudos to Maketoys.

That is a very nice defensor


I got my yesmodel ramjet on Tuesday. It's so very solid and all tabs together really well, and doesn't shake apart when you pick it up in bot mode. More than i can say for my takara version

[spiderken17]

How does it scale to the other MP jets?

How does it scale to the other MP jets?

The yesmodels are the same size as all the mp11's

Thanks for the thoughts! I'll need to chase up on this one too.
