MP Ultra Magnus Official Pics

One problem was that we had a VERY short time frame to complete this project. I was literally only given three days to do translate/adapt the booklet! And I was really sick on the 2nd day, and had to go to work on the 1st and 3rd days. In fact, I didn't start working on it until the evening of Day 1.

Hasbro gave me even less time with the next project, but that's a really simple toy/character, so luckily I was able to turn it around pretty quickly. They gave me about a week for the latest one I did (which I finished 2 days ago), so hopefully I did a better job on that one. But yeah, I'm spending hours of my spare time at nights and weekends doing this stuff, in between work and family commitments.

First of all, thanks for all your hard work!

Now I'm not sure whether you've just dropped some very interesting news, or if it's already common knowledge that you've been working on multiple projects with HasbroAU. But either way, colour me intrigued

Griffin, just so i'm not misunderstanding, you're suggesting a poll to decide whether images etc of an item showing possible spoilers should have it's own thread?

I always use instructions, especially with the Masterpiece line. Not because I don't think I couldn't figure it out myself, but more so because all it could take is a wrong pull or twist, and you may end up with a broken fig.

Really looking forward to Magnus!

I'm with Delta, I like to work out the transformation by myself. I find it to be a fun and enjoyable exercise and i appreciate the figure more. I've had figures sit on the table for days while I try and figure them out.

It's my own little OCD^idiosyncrasy to look at instructions before attempting to transform a toy, no matter how complex or simple. I even look at instructions for One Step Changers.

Cheers mate. I am allowed to say that I am working on stuff for Hasbro, I just cannot say what the specific thing is.

I usually follow the instructions once and then do it a couple of times on my own to get the hang of it. Didn't work for Rattrap though, he's way too hard (not anymore, but it takes a while). I must handle my TFs a lot rougher than everyone else, because I had no problems transforming Generations Jetfire. Didn't feel at all like I was going to break it.

Yes.

If there is ever a significant demand for something here that is possible to do and within reason, I will try to do it if I can.
So it is up to the members to decide if that should be a policy here, and like with any democratic vote, whoever ends up in the minority will need to adapt to it.

(logically, the best course of action is one that puts out the least number of people - if posting up instructions irreversibly spoils something for some people, compared to posting instructions as a link or in a new News topic doing no significant damage to anyone, why reject the option that can make everyone happy if we find that it isn't too difficult to implement?)
