What a great topic! can't wait to see more!!!!
Dr Clay, try scaling the 1/48 pilot to the 1/24 Binaltech in car mode.
That might be interesting to see...
Warrhead, too funny...

Just opened mine for the first time and took a look...
There are some decals taped to the back of the inner tray in a plastic envelope. The "instructions" are also in the same envelope, it's a combination of decal placement guide and transformation instructions.
It should be behind the decals in the same plastic envelope. Other than that - nada.
Much appreciated. Thanks Blaine23!

Hey, thanks Dangard Ace and mslz22 for the launcher info.
Anyone else have any positive confirmation on the instructions being included or not?
Otherwise, thank you all.

Thanks for looking, and possibly helping.
I just sold a TRU reissue Optimus Prime to someone on eBay. It was sealed and never opened. All I know is that it had shortstacks, which is why I never opened it. I never noticed until after I bought it (this was before I started going to forums and hearing about stuff like that before an item came out).
Anyways, everything was cool until he emailed me to tell me that there were no instructions included and the launcher that is supposed to launch Roller doesn't work. Having never opened it, I don't know if instructions were EVER included or if the launcher EVER worked. This is after all from a company that continually chops Prime's stacks for whatever the reason. And I know that launching/spring actions have always been a touchy subject, so it's conceivable to me that they disabled it. I also don't own any of the other TRU Transformer reissues to see what Hasbro has been doing regarding instructions and launching parts.
I'm an honest seller and he seems like an honest buyer. I put in my auction 'all sales final', but I feel bad for the guy because I honestly have no idea. Who knows, maybe I picked up a Prime with these problems and to his bad luck, he won my auction.
So here is my question: did the TRU Optimus Prime reissue come with instructions and did the launcher ever launch?
Any answers are appreciated.
Thanks again!
(And apologies in advance is this is in the wrong forum. I didn't think it was really an ebay/auction question as much as a toy question.)

REAL WORLD COOLNESS!!!

GOOD GOD!!!
is it supposed to be insanely combined like that? is that the feature of these robots, to be infinitely combinable, limited only by your...*ahem*... "imagination"?
it's funny, the further down you scroll, the first top images don't seem as challenging anymore, do they?
Gerwalk25,
yeah i noticed the interesting placement of the drill bit too!

just one here. no number yet.

All I will say is that you have to take what you hear from sales reps at trade shows with a grain of salt.
However, it is true that the M&Ms won't be released without FPs.
Not going to comment on the other stuff though

TEASE!!!!

by the way, thank you everyone for keeping this macross/robotech thread professional, without any anti- sentiments one way or another.
it's quite refreshing.

I will be yet another to add to the chorus of admiration... Utterly FANTASTIC!
What is most impressive is the obvious amount of preparation, planning, and pre-production you did before even starting on the project, not counting the man hours in production!
Excellent and seamless transition of graphics across all parts, from valk to missles to separate armor pieces. GREAT JOB!!!
-
yes! YES! YES!!!!
can anyone translate?

*stunned*
great collection and customs!

This is probably more for people to get an idea of what the final will be, and not the final itself. but there are things to speculate/comment on, for example:
1. when you're looking at the gestalt form, there's a lot of details that make you go hmm - no swivel in the arm/chest of the black lion. yellow and blue lion tails don't seem like the yellow and silver stripes of the legs in gestalt form, no fold/hinge on the red wings on the back, etc...
2. when you're looking at the black lion, his gold shoulders are completely solid! how does toynami plan to make the red and gold lions connect to become the arms? big black bars? maybe they plan on magnets like the MPC VF armor?
3. the red and gold lions have pretty normal looking tails too in lion form. but they look like little stubs in gestalt form. i wonder why? where do they go?
4. what action features will be included?
that said, it's nice to have another golion/voltron robot to look forward to. i like the proportions, but i doubt that it'll be as hefty with diecast content like the OG version. You'd probably get a truer 'masterpiece version' if bandai were to do it for their soul of chogokin line.

Awesome! LOVE IT!

The unbelievable stupidity of the publicity stunt hit me when i watched Dan Rather actually report on this "news" on his program last night. I think I actually caught him flinch a little.
But when was the last time anyone really TALKED about Ken and Barbie?
Like Janet's (Miss Jackson, if you're Nasty) boob, the stunt is working...

i'm on a mac and it works fine for me.
lovely wifey, wdc. you're a lucky man.

hehe, that's what a VF-1D and a VF-1S would look like if they had kids.
More like if a VF-1S and Blitzwing from Transformers had anal sex and called the resulting piece of poop a baby.
PURPLE AND TAN!!!!

First comes awe over the amazing custom job!
Then comes envy of your insane talent.
Then comes depression that i can't do that myself.
Then awe comes back and kicks envy's and depression's asses.
AWESOME CUSTOM!!!!!

Great critique Drifand.
I remember your article and the great pics from TBDX too.
In any case, it looks good to me, but i do wish Dragon would get the opportunity to take a crack at it. I wonder why they haven't?

even though it's off some, i like that they are doing a race version. i can only imagine that it would have all of the same race markings as the real car. i have a (sinking) feeling though, that he'll be red though, and not yellow like he should be.
but check out that backpack!!!
