Even with that detailing, though, I have to admit that the Reprolabels do do wonders for Optimus. Especially his vehicle mode, covering up the unpainted grey areas so that he has a more consistent look! Although I do kind of like the original blue windows better... But, unless they have some optional stickers that they aren't showing in their sample images, if I want to fill in the unpainted windows, I'd have to go with black.
His robot mode is a bit less impressive... What the heck did they do to his forearms? Black? (And, of course, the yellow accents feature that stupid glowing grid detail I hate.) I think I'd leave off those, his knees, and either shown option for his shoulders...
Still, overall it seems a set that would just be worth it.
I hope the remaining Arialbots keep up the aesthetic used so far! Look forward to seeing them in the months ahead. (I wonder what they will do for Alpha Bravo, though, since he has no G1 equivalent to emulate.)

He's also already (technically, semantically) very G1 accurate. And so good looking.

But some sets get ridiculously overpriced. Some of them are more expensive than a deluxe figure.

Hm, hadn't noticed the Generations Roadbuster stickers before. They actually make the figure almost look not crappy. I'm kinda tempted to keep my Roadbuster fugure that I only bought cos it was cheap and get those stickers. Probably won't though. I do need some new Autobot and Decepticon faction stickers though.

Typical these are released literally hours after I got bored and applied the Hasbro HK sticker sheet.
Next pay I'm getting a bunch of these...
Posted by Yotsuyasan on April 24th, 2015 @ 12:35pm CDT
As for the latest batch of stickers... Damn, I was looking forward to see what they did with Powerglide, and I can't help but feel disappointed. It's only $3.50, so I might still tack it onto my next order, but it just feels like half of the included stickers are extra details I won't need. Meanwhile, I was really hoping they'd include a couple of red stickers for the back of the legs to help them blend into the alt mode better.
I dunno... Overall I still think they do great work, but lately that work has felt a bit less great. In the past, every set felt like a homerun. Now, some feel bogged down with unnecessary extra stickers, and occasionally there are outright misses.
To end on a positive note: the stickers for the various Aerialbots look good! If I was getting the Hasbro version, those stickers would be a must. (I wonder what the chances of them also doing stickers for the Takara version are?)

So in other words, they are no longer "reprolabels" they are now "Toyhax" ?
According to the guy above, they have changed the site for the worse. Are the sticker maps still available for download? Im on a cell right now and cant really tell.

Toyhax has been around for a bit, Reprolabels have been promoting the site for a while for the backdrops they sell, looks like they decided to consolidate.

What the heck happened to the old website? My browser's getting errors in accessing it. Jeez!

I think the old website is no more. When I tried to go to it, I got the front "Click To Enter" page, but so clicking just redirected me right to the new one.
Ayyway, I sent the following message to them:
I just wished to express displeasure with your new website. I find it much more difficult to navigate, the preview images aren't as nice, and the colors are rather garish. Overall, I found the old website much easier on the eyes, and more easy to find product on. I hope you reconsider some of the changes you have made. Thank you.
I got the following response, which came within minutes and is rather vague, leading me to suspect it is just an automated stock response:
Hi there!
We appreciate your feedback, and if you would like to give
any suggestions, we will gladly take them under consideration. As of now, we are
very busy with the new release, and with some technical problems. However, once
things have slowed down a little, we will be able to address your concerns.
Hope we can help,
Alex Black
If the website does indeed remain as it is, I suppose I'll live with it and adjust. But it does just seem so garish, and (more importantly) the interface is overly clunky and not at all intuitive. I miss the ease and simplicity of their old site.
Eventually, I will be wanting to order something. I wonder how smooth (or not smooth) the ordering process is on the new site? Has anyone else gone through it, and care to express their opinion?

The website Toyhax was set up a few months ago when the people at Reprolabels started doing the backdrops for figure displays. So since they're running both Reprolabels and Toy Stage, I believe they combined them for ease of operation.
I just purchased some stickers yesterday, so I can talk about how that went: I payed throughPayPal, so if you do that the process shouldn't be too different.
Personally, I like some things about the new set up; on the plus side, they have separated 3rd party TF stickers from their "Classics" sections. To me this is a huge plus, because sifting through those on the old website was a pain. So I think their organization has gotten better. However, I'm not crazy about the image set up, but I also don't have any suggestions right now on how to make it better.
Right now I think they'll be changing some things and getting it all to run smoothly and look good to the eyes, so I'm not worried that this is the end all set up. Time will tell.

This is one of the few nice things about the new site, although frankly, since technically all their other categories are not Transformers, they could have used a better designation then, "Not TF." "3rd Party TF," maybe?
But having them separated, and under the toy's official name, is the one thing they've done that I like. With multiple third parties sometimes covering the same character, and sometimes those being for characters Hasbro has also done, having them all in the same section and all using the character's name could make for a bit of a cluster-frak.
So cheers to them for that, even if I still boo pretty much everything else about the new website.

My opinion is that, although this renders well on mobile (more on this below), I had to click on the image, wait for it to pop-up, and then open THAT image i another tab, as it didn't fit my screen (I am using my phone, while connected to a monitor, but I don't always do that). Also, clicking on the "left/right" arrors for the next image just exited the image, prompting me to have to click on another link to see the next picure, and repeat the process again.
However, I am happy that they have made the site more mobile friendly. I am going to be outspoken here, but I have felt for a long time that most, if not all ofthe main TF sites, from online shopping sites, to fan news ones (including Seibertron) are not mobile friendly, which is inexcusable in this day and age. Adverising revenue can easily be generated from mobile ads, with only small changes made to the design (just look at gawker, Ars Technica, BBC or any other main site to see how they can offer both PC and mobile solutions). Tformers has a basic "RSS" style mobile site (which still links to desktop pages, but it's more than most sites offer), whereas TFW2005 has even, strangely enough, BLOCKED the entire Docomo mobile phone network IP adress from acessing their site (because, spam, boo hoo), thus alienating most, if not all, Japanese fans (who mainly access the internet through mobile devices and networks).
One of the main reasons that I don't contribute that much to the TF boards, or buy stuff from the various online sites, is because there are no mobile friendly sites out there.
This needs to have already changed, years ago, so I applaud Reprolabels for taking the leap and doing what many sites, including this, should have already done.

Wasn't there also a Micromaster team that had a sticker set specifically for the Japanese version?
Anyway, there is precedent. So, while I will admit the chances are slim, it could happen. And if it does, I'd be curious to see what new details they might offer, and if they will be superfluous or add nice finishing touches. (Honestly, lately, it seems more of the former, as opposed to the past where Reprolabels were often almost necessary for finishing a character's look. But I still like to look and see what they offer so I can make that determination on a case by case basis.)
