This bad boy arrived yesterday ahead of the Hurricane and I stickered him up yesterday afternoon. I love the way this guy looks. The head fits a lot more secure than the first run Hardhead set I have.

I sent them an email a few days ago and no reply. Has anyone heard anything? It's closing in on a month (next week) since TFCon ended.

Has anyone received their non-attendee Stronghold? It's been 2 weeks since they sent an email about verifying the shipping address. I haven't heard from them since. Anyone?
Fast_Draw
Anyone know when the non-attendee sets will ship? Will it include the comic? Did any non-attendees receive their set yet?

Nice, this is exactly what I am considering doing. Just waiting to get the upgrade in hand/installed before I make the final decision. Looks great though.

Nice pictures with the paint stripping guys, it's an easier alternative.

Yay for restored internet harmony! Sorry again for being harsh.
Check your PMs.

I rubbed the 2 red squares near the crotch off, too. Oh well lol. It doesn't look like it is the same shade as the stickers anyway. Otherwise it came out great.

Solscud007 over at cybertron.ca applied the stickers and upgrade to a stripped onslaught. Love it.

OK, thanks. I'll give it a shot.

sht, sorry. i typed too fast without reading the bottle. it is 91%
i don't think the non-acetone nail polish remover will be necessary, just get a thick enough cloth (or old sock) that is robust enough that you can rub pretty hard and it comes off easy.

Where are you guys buying 99% iso alcohol? I went to CVS, Walmart, and Target. The highest they have is 91%. I bought 91% and some nail polish remover (acetone free). I hope that works.

I think I'm going to leave mine as a Con. I already have Hardhead. Maybe I could paint Onslaught a flat black… and silver..
Fast_Draw
I am going to have to get a bottle. Green be gone!

lol, maybe i should delete that picture. don't want to be known as the "sock" guy.
when i receive the kit i'll take new pictures of it on the body with most of the olive removed.
