Alternators release looks good... the old/new comparison shots are also cool. Some of the packaging images could stand to have been done as thumbs, I think.

Looking at:

...I'd definitely still like one; the sword's a very nice little touch. The shots with semi-transformation also give a good idea of the design's chunkiness.

Well worth the wait, I have to say.

Collects all the articles he wrote over the years for TFSource, Masterforce.org and other sites, as well as a bunch of all-new articles.

The most interesting new addition is... BLACK DIACLONE TRACKS.

Well, it's no Binalternators;), but i'm impressed by what I read there.

Those things do have incredibly nice packaging. I wish I could find the Browning cardback I had... I can't really imagine I'd have thrown it away...

Just read the article on the Joustra Ligier release. He's a bit exhaustive, eh?

Has there ever been any consensus as to why that mould has never been reissued? Is it just that the mould is lost, or is it the disapproval of the car company?

Post by **Denyer** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:37 am

I suspect the answer's a bit of both...

Not exactly a big hit along the lines of the recent articles, but something to check out nonetheless:

Jo Schlesser wasn't killed in an F2 race. He was killed on his Formula 1 debut (but his third Grand Prix) due to a piece of Honda incompetance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Schlesser - Which also gets a little bit wrong (the wheel hubs of the RA302 were magnesium, not the body, but it was still enough to set off the rear thanks).

Intriguing. Actually, I'm a bit surprised that hasn't happened more -- licensed likeness, company works from mould they have.

Crazy minibots from Peru indeed, the best part being we probably haven't even seen the craziest ones yet.

Craziness. I heard the "store exclusive" story myself several times, but never with any specific store named.
