I got all the UW and CW Computron sets, the G2 Superion set, and the TR Trypticon and Fort Max sets for like... $70.

A half price Trypticon set is a must. I need more hours in the day to peruse this!

I fear that this will end VERY soon, as it probably is a black friday thing, and black friday is already over a week ago. I wish I had known earlier. $70 is a lot of money to dump all at once on stickers, and had I known last week, I could have managed to snag the smaller sets I want, this week.
I only noticed at all because mild curiosity had me going to check to see if they made a set for MMC's Inferno.
For some reason I don't get emails from them, even though I keep signing up to their mailing list.

Order in! $70 of labels also. Half price, $3 worldwide shipping and no import tax this end. Lovely. Lots of stickering fun for Pinwig this Christmas!

The sale's still going on, as of the evening of 10/10.

I *almost* pulled the trigger on a fourth order last night.
Back to full price this morning. I'm kicking myself.

Fourth! Wow.
Mind you, my one order from Dec 3rd hasn't shipped yet. Chances of Christmas stickering fun reducing!

Toph, have any of your orders been shipped yet? mine still just says payment received in the order section, but it's been two weeks since I did.

You get shipping notices?

Post by Pinwig on Dec 16, 2017 13:43:03 GMT
I don't know whether you do or not, can't remember, it's just if I look at my order history on their website it says it hasn't shipped yet. Just wondered if any of your four orders had arrived.

I've never gotten any sort of notice in the past. They always just show up. Usually after about two weeks.
Sometimes around three if it's really busy (such as after they just put up new sets)

Ah, cool. Okay. I won't bother them with questions. I'm sure it's all in hand.

Ueah, I'd not really start expecting mine until mid to end of next week.

I figured out what you were talking about. Accidentally, as I was looking up the sets I bought.
Mines still say "payment received"
I didn't know that was on there.

Post by Pinwig on Dec 17, 2017 21:22:35 GMT
Ah, cool. I have a few as yet unapplied sets still. I was just hoping to have a go at Trypticon over Christmas, but I'll go for some of my previous purchases. Apollyon needs his for a start.

My first two orders have changed to "preparation in progress"
You placed your order just hours after mine, so your's should be too.

Aye, I had an email yesterday saying my order is 'currently processing'.
Cool!

I guess given how monumentally behind the black friday aale put them, combined with the fact that december is nearly over, I'm beginning to suspect there won't be a december update, lol.

Well, I *finally* got my first two orders today.
My second order was shipped a week before christmas. My first order a week after that. They both came in today.
Much anxiety has been alleviated.

Mine shipped on the 29th, so it'll be at least next week before it gets here.

I was recently given a TR Voyager stickered up with Reprolabels to look like AM Prime. It looks good.

That is indeed a good set. I pulled the movie style set stickers off mine and put the AM set on it instead.

Good god, the TR Max set is a flippin' nightmare to apply.
Nothing is numbered, some aren't pointed out in photos, and *some* aren't photoed at all.
I'd say there's a good twenty-five to thirty percent guesswork. In my second session of applying stickers (first session took 3 hours before I gave up), and I'm going to end up with at least eight stickers that aren't acknowledged in any way that I can see, and I have no clue where they're supposed to go.
The rest are windows that aren't very well documented leading to guess work which sizes go where.

I had forgotten how much I genuinely dislike the titan class.
I can't decide which one was harder or easier to do.
Max doesn't transform, which is in a way easier. No flipping between modes. But he *is* the size of a child. Moving around those limbs to put labels on him is awkward.
Max's labels are largely guesswork, too.
Tryp *does* transform, and he's a much more awkward shape. But you can take his legs off which makes it much easier.
His labels are labeled, which makes that easier, though there is still about 2% guesswork.
It was more difficult putting the labels on him, and after five hours I'm still not done.

I'm not sure I want to use all the Trypticon stickers. The whole lot looks like overkill. I'm now hoping I remembered to order the extra sheet because my Trypticon doesn't have symmetrical towers.

Post by Toph on Jan 5, 2018 20:24:27 GMT
They gave me a set of the extra tower. If they didn't for you, I can pop mine into the mail for you.

My order finally arrived today! Six weeks that took. $70 of labels is... A lot of labels. Now I need to work out which ones are which and get sticking!

That G2 conversion set tempts me, even though I already have the RtS Jazz with the repro g2 conversion. I'd kinda really hoped they'd have a different character conversion set, with all the white cars there are. I have good money for a white Crasher conversion with a new (toy based) head. www.tfu.info/Gobots/Renegades/Crasher/crasher.htm |
