Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Thanks for that Kyle . I'm sure someone will confuse it with the real one some day...

Just noticed this discussion.



No. There was never a "second production of the kit".





Thanks 1orion2many.

I would take what "people on the major TF boards reported" with a grain of salt. Many of them still cannot tell the difference between FansProject and TFClub.

To set the record straight:

FansProject = kit designer/maker (Cliffjumper, City Commander, AT/BT Gas Tank)

TFClub = fan club in mainland China
TFC Toys = TFClub's own toy brand (Movie Optimus Prime sword, Allspark Cube, Starscream Coronation kit, Battle Rollar)

FansProject created the 300 Cliffjumper kits, but they weren't the one doing the selling. The 300 kits went to HK-TF, me, a Canadian friend, and TFClub.
Three of the four: HK-TF, me, and the Canadian friend sure as hell did not "jack up the price every time somebody enquired about it", unless you considered my price here on the board USD $24.10 (airmail registered included) to be ridiculous.

If I was to artificially create the ridiculous prices, I would have sold all mine on eBay, not here on the board for USD $24.10 for the fans. I am upset that FansProject's reputation has been dragged down.

I'm sorry!

Has Revelation 4 (Sideswipe) been released yet?

[GoktimusPrime]

I went to my local comic store on Monday and picked up the latest ish of All Hail Megatron - no sign of Spotlight: Sideswipe. :/

[hungta]

Thanks, Goktimus. I went to get that and Deadpool #2 as well this week. Thought I missed it.

[GoktimusPrime]

That's what standing orders are for dude. I've had mine since G1.

[hungta]

I should probably start doing that.

I was looking at some of the movie toys (Ironhide and Blackout) today and thought they looked ok.

Does the automorph gimmick get in the way of fun with these guys?

I don't have any movie toys so I don't really know what it's like.

[GoktimusPrime]

Nope. That's the awesomesauceness of the automorph gimmick - it doesn't impede with articulation or playability!

Here are my video reviews of movie Blackout and Ironhide:
Blackout (please note the video response)
Ironhide

[FFN]

Very early releases of Blackout had problems with the Automorphing. The gears slipped so you could quite easily end up with one that couldn't transform back into vehicle mode properly.

1. how much?
2. Versions that appeared at Australian retails
