I want it too!
What did I bloody say?! Always after the fact I end up wanting black primes. Still, Amazon still have it in stock.
Inevitably I will put a Toyhax order in dezzeh; I want some G1 Combaticons labels to buff up my crew, and I might do Llama's old Metroplex too. I don't mind reprolabels on G1 originals I know I'll never sell because the difference is really eye-opening. So I can add a nemesis sheet in for you if you like.

Not a fan of the fake window stickers though (but hey, stickers so I guess you can just not apply them) Still not opened my POTP Nemesis Prime yet! |

I don't usually like that kind of thing, but they make that figure come alive. Very tempted.

No problem. I'll check my current label stock tomorrow and work out what I need.

Darn, that Nemesis Prime set is tempting. I love all the options for Scourge/M.E.C.H. etc. That's really nicely done.

Saw one in the plastic at a Toy mart last weekend. Looks nice, but as I haven't bothered keeping the original mold chances are this would pass through my hands very quickly.

Repro has the first Siege sets up. Optimus and two Megatrons.
Optimus features clip-on smokestacks, and complete coverage of all the weathered tampos.
Megatron's doesn't go that far, but both are leaving me completely underwhelmed.

Meanwhile I'm wondering whether or not I actually want the hair effects for SDCC Primal now. I liked the look of them originally, but I've kinda gotten used to him being how he is. I'll have to mull this one over...

Black Friday at Toyhax again. Half off. Been waiting for this to get a new set for Superion as the ones on my TFN acquisition are pretty scuffed. I've been enjoying playing with Metroplex so much this weekend I've been considering their upgrade set to enhance the city mode. Don't think I'd use the big silver one on the ramp, but the others look top. Their sets for Sixgun and Scamper also look like significant upgrades, but, not true to the originals... hmm...  |

Damn. I'm sure there were some Reprolabels I was after, but I'll be buggered if I can remember what...

I'll be having all three of those, then. Tigertrack's set really jazzes him up.

So aside from the conversion set to turn Buzzworthy Silverstreak (diaclone blue bluestreak) into TFP Smokescreen, the more recent reprolable sets have been pretty underwhelming.
And I realize that this is actually a testimate to Hasbro and Takara really stepping up their deco game, as the more recent Reprolables aren't making the toys look better, just busier.

Yeah, feeling much the same here, too. Reprolabels were really necessary during the Prime Wars trilogy, especially PottoP, since there was just a lot of blank, featureless plastic in some of those figures. With the WFC figures onwards where Hasbro have upped the texturing and detailing the Reprolabels really don't work quite as well - they do indeed make it look too busy. Which I guess is good for us - means we don't need to buy more add-ons to complete our toys. But less good for the Reprolabel peoples.

The new toyhax set for Sandstorm gives a lovely G1 vibe:  |
