WJ Conversion kit updates

Hi everyone,

The conversion kits should be ready by next week. Right now we're finalizing the manual and also the artwork. Packaging at this moment is simplistic reason being if a customizer converts the Transformers Sunstreaker, sideswipe or red alert, probably they'd dispose of the packaging.

In anycase, the first 50 who had purchased, we'd include something different in the packaging. From last count, we expect this kit to be sold out before year end, so get yours while you can.

Our ebay partner retrozone will also get their kits slightly later for shipment, so safetly I think those who had ordered should receive their kits around first to second week January 2010.

On a similar note, as per an earlier blog, we had promised to pass a couple of kits to some Toy sites, well one of them Sabrina's site has receive their One kit, so watch out for a superbly done version.

Also what we'd do along the way when the kits are sent out is maybe come up with One blog showing how some of the parts can be removed. We did receive a few emails on this so we felt it better to provide some advice and pictures for those whom this might be their first kit.

In the meantime, season's greeting, Wishing all a wonderful Winter!, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Also wishing all our friends out there a better year 2010 - better health, prosperity and great relationships.

Sincerely

D.K

FINALLY WJ in FULL technicolors

First picture of the WJ upgrade kit with stickers applied front view. The test stickers arrived today. We had to do some minor changes to the stickers but they work fine. The only problem we had were the windscreen stickers again!. So it was back to the drawing board. As we were getting the stickers printed on High quality adhesive paper using professional printing, you'd notice the windshield are of a different print grade because these were printed on our trusty Hewlett Packard Inkjet. The final stickers would be semi gloss. We'd probably give some allowance for collectors to cut it slightly more for more personal fitting on the windscreen.


Second picture is the rear of the WJ painted vehicle with the stickers applied.



Third picture is a close up of the rear. We did put in a license plate YES it's ARIZONA - WHEELJACK. No brownie points on why it's ARIZONA cause in G1 -Transformers started in Arizona when the ARK crashed on the mountain St Helena. You'd notice some paint smearing. It was a rather rush job, the masking we used was not applied properly. It definately can be done better!!!! :) The Gap on the slide in spoiler is not a kit error because it probably moved when we took the pictures. Decided not to retake and just pass the note to fellow customizers who've ordered the kit.


Last picture is the front / Top view. Yes Wheeljack is FINALLY with his autobot stickers.

In short. We'd be getting the robot pixs up when we've gotten the other stuff ready. Isn't this exciting!!!

Weekend blurp

Hi everyone,
hope black friday was good..We know the sales were fantastic. Back to WJ. We had just spend the weekend painting a Classic Sideswipe from RED to white. We can tell you from experience, if you plan to do this, GET a sunstreaker. It's easier to use the dull yellow plastic and paint it white, (after priming the plastic). We'd see how the sideswipe holds up, else we'd do up a sunstreaker also.

If you've noticed, the website www.mastercollectables.com also reroutes to mastercollectors.blogspot.com. That would be our main domain name. We use the blogspot essentially because it was a quick way to get the website running and at the same time allow us to communicate quickly to our fellow collectors and fans. Maybe in the future we'd do up a proper site, but for now our focus is custom toys.

Have a great weekend!!.

Prototype pictures of our first creation

This is our first creation. WJ custom. It took probably a month of planning, looking at existing designs, and seeing what was the best way to execute. Our design was influenced by many other customizers in the web and we took the best of what was possible on an existing Transformers sunstreaker/ sideswipe toy and tried to improve on it. This is pretty much the final rendition before we do a limited mass production. Let us know your comments on this kit. We're also in the process of reviewing the stickers.

On a side note. We understand that our partner on ebay had listed a pre-production picture. Not the best we'd say, so we've asked them to update with newer pictures. Hope you like our latest creation.
At this moment as per our partners pricing. It is 44.98USD per piece, shipping not inclusive. If there are those who want to take up quantity of this limited release, please contact us at administrator@mastercollectables.com
For the total production - at this moment it's 100 although it might end up at 200 sets, dependant on how well the molds hold. Below is the buy it now button. Directly links to paypal.
At this moment price is 44.98+10USD shipping worldwide. If someone buys a couple of them we'd work out the discount for shipping (approx 50% off the second price etc etc) and refund back. ETA December 2009.
