I think the concept is neat, but I find the execution quite poor. Specifically, the leg piston things are very blobby and have soft detail, they don't even connect all the way on the sides, and the poses are very static and lifeless, and even the proportions seem off by quite a bit.

I like the scale of them; as I'd like to get Obliterators at some point and find the GWS ones to be terrible, but these aren't the counts-as Obliterators I am looking for (waves hand).

Rise from the dead!

Ummmm this is interesting. They decided to go really big all of the sudden.

TS7-B Crusader Heavy Assault Robot
$80.00

On sale right now are a very limited number of what can easily count as Knights or other large scale robots in many wargames. The model stands a bit over 7 inchs tall and will need at least a 200mm base (not included).

The set comes with:
2 Heads (only one style pictured)
2 Styles of Shoulder Pads (only one style pictured)
2 Weapon Arms
1 Ion Cannon
1 Chain Blade Arm
1 Torso
1 Waist
2 Upper Legs
2 Knee Pads
2 Lower Legs
2 Feet

Items are in stock at only 4 sets and will not require casting on order. First come, first serve.

Unfortunately, doesnt the first "Head" style look familiar?

They serious with that titan reject?

That... Is the ugliest kit I have ever seen in my life.

Haha that is very Bionicle right thar.

An interesting idea but poorly executed.

Sadly, I ordered a set of the Terminator (Hvy Crusader Armor) back on April 15th. As of writing this, they still have yet to show up.

Time to dispute with Paypal I think.

You can play scavenger hunt with this thing, see if you can spot the defiler weapon arm hub, lego wheel, leman russ back hatch, ect. ect.!

Have you emailed the guy?

Also, keep an eye on the calendar - I think PayPal has a 45 day max time on disputes.

Either way, good luck!

Hmm, and the GW IP layers' wrath shall rain down upon them...

Huh, me too.

The groin tabbard is a GW banner. Wow, they are just blatantly using a mix of GW parts to make their own.

I'm waiting on a set of Track Units, I emailed the guy and he was really helpful and after a month (apparently Customs sometime delay that long) he said he would resend, still waiting....

If you're waiting on an outstanding order, send him an email (even if you've sent one before) - I've been talking to him quite often and he seems like a decent guy, but he's quite prone to getting swamped, especially with some of the personal stuff he's had to deal with) just check in and see what he says. He's not on Dakka but I've directed him here.

As for the composition of the Knight, it doesn't look good for him, but I'm not really a fan of the design anyway. Still, $80 isn't a massive amount for a knight titan, even if you just use it as a base

EDIT: Ah, it's not his design, it's a design someone else made for him to sell through his store - so if it's a shameless ripoff, it's someone else's shameless ripoff!

Not sure if that's a good idea, but at least it explains the style/tone disparity between the big kit and the small ones

My thoughts as well. Seven inches is a bit tall for a knight so chopping out about an inch of that torso height (and shortening the arms) could bring the proportions closer to the original Epic knight.

Not to be mean(well ok, to be mean) that is a terrible titan model. My 4 year old comes up with better stuff with his legos.

There is nothing about it that is good. The head is clearly a lego head, the waist is a joke, the legs are scaled up power armor, and the arms are flimsy.

I would seriously tell no one to buy this item! I have seen this particular model, this exact picture online for a couple of years at least. If this is some kind of scam, which I really hope it is not, it is a pretty bad one! I mean, recast bionicle bits and GW stuff does not equate to a good model.

Honestly guys, don't even consider buying this thing, not that any of you would of course!

I have had good luck buying from this guy. Sorry to hear people are having issues. Hope it works out.

T-tahu? Is that you?

Hi

I'm one of the unfortunates who's still waiting for his order.
Considering the large amount of money I paid, the long wait and lack of communication, I am quite frustrated.

If anyone happens tog et in contact with him, could you kindly pass on the message that he needs to deal with his UK customers?

Thanks

We've chatted a lot by email and he was very friendly but I'm still waiting for my 3 x Track units...first ordered on May 1st (approx) or the replacement order sent later..

I am still waiting for my order (ordered in May) as well and have contacted him via email previously. I sent him a follow up email today requesting replacement or refund.

Based on my interactions with 3 Stage so far, I would strongly recommend people not to buy products from this person.

Let us know what happens, I really wanted those tracks...

As someone on TTGN pointed out, the vent on the back is also lifted straight off the top rear of the Leman Russ Tank.

This 'company' is starting to become shadier and shadier.

Brings back good bionicle memories at any rate!

Many edits for coding screw-ups...

Wait a minute, so this guy is actually selling cast of those horrible-looking titans? Can he legally do this? The bionicle head and countless other GW parts are pretty damn obvious.

Someone help me out here...

Recasting components (as opposed to complete sculpts), particularly when they are being used in a different form to the original, is a bit of a legal grey area.

A lot of cinema models are made from kit-bashing other model kits and then casting the end result.


Having said that, waving a red flag like that in front of Games Workshop and Lego does seem a little brash.

Maybe I'm just being a bit slow, but what is this suppossed to be ?

$15.00The TS4-A Tracked Cyborg Recon Unit fits on a 40mm base or larger and is suited for a 28mm scale setting.

This complete kit contains everything needed to build a full TS4-A.

Parts brake down on a complete kit:
2x Tracks
1x Lower Track Body
1x Optional Front Armor Plate
1x True Scale Heavy Armor Torso
1x Helmeted Head
2x Shoulder Pads
1x Power Ram
1x Power Claw

Almost every vehicle in the original Star Wars movies were essentially kitbashes of existing model kits, which were slapped together and then recast in copper(plastic would melt under the heat of movie lighting during close ups).

Tamiya and Revell should sue George Lucas.

Granted, it would be a grim task to try and identify where each piece of the Millenium Falcon came from.

Still, if I was Lego, I'd be suing this guy for making such a terrible model with my parts. Perhaps if it was cool then Lego wouldn't mind so much.

That's always the first excuse I hear when someone tries to pull a scam on me.

Just saying.

Good thing it isn't a titan model, then, isn't?


Being that Knights are NOT titans.
