It'd be nice to see companies compete by putting out a better product rather than expecting work done decades ago to be an everlasting income stream. Particularly since the future is CAD on the average desktop PC, rapid prototyping and access to the kind of production capacity industry types would'...

Well, shit. Botcon 2011 comes and goes, and we find those thieving f*$&ers iGear are at it again. With all the stir and bad press already around the 3rd-party market this year, namely the whole misunderstanding with TakTomy apparently banning 3rd-party products in Japan (which they weren't, it w...

Linkin Park's new "Iridescent" video shows us the first imagery of Megatron's transformation. You see it around the 2min30sec mark. 'Iridescent' on MTV UK Hmm... there's something about that transformation sequence that's different to all his other, past transformations. I'm not entirely s...

Hmm... Well, seeing as there's so many Autobots getting Leader-class figures for this film, I think it'd be bit strange if they didn't throw in a 'Con or two to even out the playing field. Granted, kids might have the Leaders from the previous films, but still... Glad Ironhide is getting a Leader-cl...

You'll have to forgive what's probably a dumb question to some, but I haven't really been keeping up with the Movie toylines. So, just out of curiosity, what characters are getting Leader-Class figures for this film? I ask because I don't recall any news reports at Seibertron or TFW2005 detailing th...

I think they're really overstepping the mark now, and doing it on-purpous. To do a G1-type figure of a character that HasTak are currently using is really pushing their luck. Maybe they've got it in their heads that HasTak can't do anything to them, because they'd have to blast all the other 3rd-par...

...Okay, now this is getting friggin' ridiculous. iGear PP05 Ironhide? Do iGear have no shame? Stupid question, obviously, seeing how blatent they're being about their IP theft. They're practically throwing it in HasTak's faces with this one. They've officially stopped stepping on HasTak's toes and ...

iGear's PP03S Seeker Storm

These morons just don't know when to stop pissing on the hornet's nest, do they? *sigh*

I hate Forbidden Planet. I don't even like walking past the place if I can help it. They're an extortionate bunch of f*&ktards, and I don't care if that is slander, they can try and sue me. Yes, they were the first - and for a while, only - place in Cardiff to get HFTD and RTS, and damn if they ...

You guys are not gonna believe this... This whole blizzard-of-bullsh*t was a false alarm. According to Drillbit of TFW2005, the original notice banning certain retailers from selling 3rd-party products also included a blanket ban on importing official Hasbro Transformers - specifically Dark Of The M...

RTS Lugnut! Finally, it's appeared in Cardiff! Waited three months for this, and it's GLORIOUS ! ... ... ...Yeah, that was unnecessary... ¬_¬;; £20.99 at Cardiff TRU, and generally cheaper than everywhere else - particularly Forbidden Planet who want £24 for it. Thieving f*&%ers, as usual... Too...

Question on the grounds I genuinely don't know - do 3rd party companies make a profit? I mean, are these things sold to cover costs, labour, production and maybe a little bit to go towards their next product? Apologies if that's a stupid question, but I genuinely don't know. I don't think they actu...

If they say, ban all non-add on products, someone will come up with some way of getting through a loophole - say, selling skellington figures and seperate add-on kits which turn them into characters. 'Ch... yeah... and look how well HasTak have done with those ... It's a good idea in concept, but i...

I'm glad Taktom have woken up to this. If the third party market continued to grow, where would it end? It's only ultimately going to end up harming product development in the long run. I, too would like to see this, that or the other toy produced, and do find the Classics line something of an exce...

O , o Quite a response... didn't expect quite this much discussion, or else I'd have opened a new thread right off the bat... Anyway, I hope this doesn't get blown all out of proportion; if Hasbro get in on the act because TakaraTomy are pulling out all the stops, this could get ugly real fast. iGea...

TFW2005 reports that TakaraTomy have blanket-banned 3rd party TF products and accessories in Japan! Takara Tomy bans third party custom Transformers Products in Japan? What the hell?! Seems like possibility is becoming reality, people, even if it is only for the Japanese fans at the moment... Really...

They might be a combiner team, as for Crossfire 3, I still say it will be the Constructicon Maximus version, since 1 and 2 were both Superion Maximus and Bruticus Maximus respectively. I agree with the C-Max point, it makes sense. There is another possibility, though, in the concept images we've se...

Something's just occurred to me, while I was checking the FansProject website: the Causality series and the Crossfire-03 set are listed seperately . They really don't seem to be the same thing. Causality 2011 ■March / CA-01 Warcry ■April / CA-02 Flameblast ■May / CA-03 Stormshred ■June / CA-04 Thund...

Sentinel Prime Of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Voiced By The Legendary Leonard Nimoy: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/sentinel-prime-of-transformers-dark-of-the-moon-voiced-by-the-legendary-leonard-nimoy-171819/ While this is certainly a most awesome bit ...

I'm not sure the Insecticons are part of the combiner lineup... I know the numbering makes it seem like they are, but it just wouldn't make much sense to me if they were. :nonono: I'm not sure what the hell FansProejct are doing with this Causality thing... It looks like they plan to release seven o...
