The Thunderhawk set looks pretty nifty, and there are some Hot Rods still in my area...

I am liking the Berserker stickers!

Hm I hadn't seen that Big Spring before. I think out of all the 3rd party Springers I've seen that could be my choice. I'm not into collecting G1 or MP but I have a KO Hot Rod and upscaled Gen Arcee and as cool as 30th Springer is he's just a tad small...although this one looks quite large, perhaps too big? I dunno. Decisions are hard.

I wish they would release just a big set of the different guns for the various figures. I'm not big on stickers but would love extra weapons for some of my empty handed figures.

BAH! I submitted an order 2 days ago for ONE sticker set! I was wracking my brain, trying to find more than the one but couldn't. Now they drop that Tidal Wave and Overlord set? :-(

I just made a 65$CAN order of labels for G1 Cloudburst, CW Defensor, and one more sheet for an upcoming custom. It's paid and shipped.

And RIGHT NOW, there's the one cent promo for Windblade.

Ugh....

The clone guns would be nice if they sold you all 8 guns for around 10 bucks like I bought from noneff. I might be interested in their trypticon set though. Im confused who would really want to add orange and green to tidal wave to make it look like the ugly hasbro toy instead of cartoon/takara accurate as it came in the set.

The orange comes from the original Japanese figure. All of the MD-06 stickers should have given that away.

The green probably is intended to homage the Hasbro version, but it would take a lot more than that little bit of green to make that transition.

Wow, great use for hotrod if/when I get the legends version & the stickers for tidal wave make the figure look like tidal wave, instead of looking bland and flat(top

), was happy enough to use TR Tidal wave as flattop but the stickers may convince me otherwise. It's at least one more reason to pick up the box set.

Courtesy of fellow Seibertronians itscramstastic and carytheone, we have some news about site sponsor ToyHax and their Reprolabels sub-section - if you're in the market for some figure sprucing up, this may be the time to place an order: pretty much the entire site catalogue is on 50% sale!

Featuring the likes of Titans Return Trypticon alternate designs, one penny sale on Titans Return Windblade, the upcoming Power of the Primes Jazz figure already teased via social media, there is probably something to fit all tastes - and a complimentary symbol sheet or two with orders over 15 USD (practically nothing). Check out the site by clicking on any of the images below, pick up a set or several, and share away your process on our Energon Pub discussion boards once they arrive!

Yeah this sale's been up since last week and I ordered me TLK Berserker and MP-28 Hot Rod stickers I forgot to get when I ordered Prime and Barricades so now I'm glad I forgot and did it last week cos they much cheaper.

Re: Toyhax.com October update (1924320)

Hmmmm.....50% off sounds like the type of sale where they want to liquidate stock and close shop. Havent heard anything, just saying...

Right? It's just a Black Friday/Cyber Week type sale, nothing to start a panic over.

I need to get that Velocitron set while it's still cheap.

Like I said in the original post, I havent heard anything. Im just speculating from a business point of view. 50% off is a bit unusual for any item rather than select items that didnt sell well at full price. Granted its all stickers. But when you do a sale like that, its hard to get people to ever buy them at full price again because you just showed them what they are really worth. Just saying...

I don't think you understand how sales work. A sale this big is going to do exactly the opposite of what you're saying. It's going to entice people who were on the fence before about ordering, it's going to get people who buy regularly to purchase more and it's going to get the casual fan to also buy because of the cheaper price. Selling a quality product at an initial discount is a great way to get more customers hooked. Customers that will undoubtedly come back and buy again but at full price.

Had a question but answered it already.

Fully taking advantage of this sale. I have quite a few that I wanted that I'm now going to get. Mostly just ones to make figures into another character. Thanks for the heads up.

Btw, thanks for the update (@ OP), I'm getting the Legends Galvatron set too! That helmet is to die for! Just right the size to recreate his Studio Ox renders!

Got the Windblade TR set at a penny is a virtual STEAL (nope Canada, ain't paying no tax to you :lol:

) The extra details give her a more slim look at the torso (which can't be appreciated via screen images) One weird thing is that her Autobot sigil is different from the site images.

Also, an extra detail on her knee caps would have made the set even better.

Any idea when this sale ends exactly? I need to know because money is tight & I don't get paid until monday. I really need to snag some of the large sets like Trypticon & Fort Max.

I jumped on this sale when the news here was posted, and worked out today as the ETA for the stickers arrival.

I just got an email saying they shipped out today.

Either:

A) They were pretty sloppy about managing the updates on their website, and my stickers will be in my mailbox within the next two hours.

- or -

B) It took them literally two weeks to process my order and put the stickers in an envelope, and I won't be seeing them until 2018.

That does seem unusually slow even for being backlogged due to the big business they had with the sale. I ordered my MP-28 Hot Rod and TLK Berserker sticks on 24th Nov, got the dispatch email on 1st December and I haven't yet received them but I just hoping that's cos I like in UK and it's christmas time so the mail is overloaded. Usually I receive my Toyhax stickers within a week and half of ordering. Have you mentioned it to the staff on their Facebook group page or emailed them directly? They're usually very helpful and have solved minor issues I've had in the past.

I figure I ought to wait until our mail comes, at least (it turns up about 1:30pm est), but if they aren't there, I may mention my disappointment.

Do they not print the sheets when they get an order in? Rather than have vast qunatities of these sitting in a warehouse? Granted it's still a long time to get them printed, but if there's been a massive spike in orders due to the sale, maybe they just had a higher demand than they anticipated?

This may be more appropriate for the Transtropia discussion, but is anyone here buying Repros for the sole purpose of making a custom? Especially when buying a set clearly NOT meant for the figure?

Have a preview of a completed project I've yet to post in my lab:

Sorta but yea. And that looks pretty cool what you did.

By the way
https://www.facebook.com/groups/reprola ... 172056069/
"On behalf of the Toyhax/Reprolabels team I want to say thank you all for your patience pertaining to the shipping of recent orders. We are just shy of having shipped out half of a massive influx of orders from our recent sale and have overcome some set-backs and hurdles that have popped up along the way. Also worth mentioning is we've gotten our hands on some new equipment that means when we are back to normal operations we will be able to produce more product and at a faster rate as well. In closing this delay is temporary and we are making more and more progress everyday on it we also are still working on new sets for you guys. We appreciate the continued support and patronage of you all.

Ryan V- Senior Design Lead"

I feel like if they printed out a few dozen of each set on the site for inventory (much more for the newest sets) it wouldn't take up much more than a few four drawer filing cabinets in the corner of a garage rather than a warehouse. I also feel like it would be impractical to print on demand because that also means cutting them on demand which sounds like a fairly time consuming practice. But then again I imagine they could just let the machines run overnight and ship stuff out the next day if they're trusting in their hardware.

Really kicking myself for not stocking up on those cassette-smartphones when they were clogging shelves a year ago. I knew full well we'd be getting this many upgrade sets someday, but I procrastinated. Maybe they'll show up at discount stores before I resort to overpaying online.

The main upgrade Swoop needs is his launchers, a tad more complicated than the Clone guns. Any 3rd party announcements in that area, or would it just be too hard to attach them considering how the wings fold up? Someone will probably do a full Dino-accessory set once Snarl and Sludge are out. Until then, no amount of stickers can make ex-Divebomb look less naked.

That Nitro set to turn him into Thunderwing is pretty neat. Especially for people who don't want to risk painting. Still, I'll pass because I already have my custom.

Same. Legends wave 2 barely hung around in stores here, probably because people were snapping them up to go with Soundwave. I thought I was safe waiting on Takara Tomy (got Rewind, Ravage, and Laserbeak from them), but then they passed on Rumble and there was no getting him at a good price by the time we caught on. Too bad, that Enemy sticker set looks nice.

Not at all. If you don't mind them not launching it would require four color molded parts, two red missile tips and two gray launchers that can be plugged together. It would be a little more complex, but not complicated and probably use less plastic than two clone guns. Actually attaching them would be super easy since there are perfectly placed slots on the underside of the wings to plug into and the best part is they wouldn't interfere with the wings folding since they have wedges carved into them that give a lot of leeway for some extra length.

Same. Legends wave 2 barely hung around in stores here, probably because people were snapping them up to go with Soundwave. I thought I was safe waiting on Takara Tomy (got Rewind, Ravage, and Laserbeak from them), but then they passed on Rumble and there was no getting him at a good price by the time we caught on. Too bad, that Enemy sticker set looks nice.

The main upgrade Swoop needs is his launchers, a tad more complicated than the Clone guns.

I'm in the same boat. I got the Mountain Dew Stickers and had to get the cassette off Ebay. I like at least one of these new ones, but I'm not paying ebay prices for it.
There timing is pretty bad on those.

Even with that "visor hommage", I don't get what they are going for with that TR Arcee kit.

Well I guess that almost sort in a way if you squint looks like tarn if you cut of tarns shoulders and left him in a desert for a while and shaved down his face and took his guns and yeah it's a bit of a stretch.

Or paint the figure first.

This is the largest discussion I’ve seen on a product update news.

While I didn't see the value in the other Dinobot stickers, the Grimlock ones do look nice.

All the black stuff on Arcee is probably based on Hasbro's Thrilling 30 release and occasional IDW colors. They really went half way with this and should have included the black around the neck and hips.

Alt mode is slightly more convincing.

I like that the PotP Grimlock sheet includes labels with cartoon-style blue optics for both his heads and for Volcanicus'. I painted the optics blue on mine and my goodness but I think it looks better. Maybe it's a color balance thing.

I'm disappointed by the absence of two things. I really want to see improved/alternate versions of G1 Sunstreaker and Ultra Magnus' sheets. Sunstreaker's sheet is missing the Diaclone/pre-rub factory headlight stickers (extra egregious when you can see them on the Sunstreaker in the sticker map!), and both sheets have certain stickers that need color-correcting -especially Sunstreaker's blasted shoulder stickers. The clash isn't too bad on Ultra Magnus, but on Sunstreaker ye gods. Those stickers are supposed to blend the shoulders in with the rest of the carbody, so they need to be the same color. Leaving them red (which matched the Diaclone version) makes them do just the opposite so that the shoulders stick out worse than they would if you left them bare black!
Ideally an upgraded Sunstreaker sheet would also Transformerize certain decals (the "CR" ones on his doors and the one under his canopy that just has a blank silver rectangle, where the Diaclone one said "Car Robo"), but it's no biggy if it doesn't. The headlights and yellow shoulder stickers, those are the key thing that would make me want to buy a Sunstreaker sheet.

The "tarn" looks like blitzwing wearing pyjamas.
