I wonder if you would be so kind to answer to some question i have about your Masterpiece trailer project.. 1 How much time you need to build one trailer( type 2 and 3)? 2 About the payment, i have to pay for the toy when i place the order or before the shipment of the finished toy or other( for example half at order placement and the other half when the toy is ready for shipment) 3 What means of payment do you accept(paypal, credit card, etc) 4 Can you be more specific about the difference between the simple transformable and the electronical trailer? Ther aren't any other differece besides elctronics? And exactly which parts of the trailer are electronical? 5 The final toy is fully painted? And about the stickers? Have i to apply them? 6 Will i be able to store an Alternators or Binal Tech transformer inside the trailer? 7 and lasto you ship worldwide ^^... Sorry to bother with those silly questions, but i'm planning to place an order for one of your trailers (i'm undecided between type 2 and 3) and i wish to have all the possible information ^_^. I hope to have not bothered you too much Thanks in advice 3/24/2004, 3:51 pm Send Email to KouUraki   Send PM to KouUraki sodawilly Registered user Global user Registered: 03-2004 Posts: 76 Karma: 0 (+0/-0) Reply | Quote Re: Materpiece Optimus prime 20th anniversary trailer projects Hi, I just placed an order for the supreme trailer myself and he told me that he only needed 10% down up front, but I went ahead and did $100 for my initial payment. He does prefer PayPal if you have it. As far as if Binaltech figures fit into the trailer, that is a good question. I am not sure on that.

I think that the possibilitly to store other alternators in the trailer is very cool and i'm very happy that is possible to modify the design to make it possible. Another cool addiction to your trailer could be the possibility to extend the laser turret outside the trailer even when the trailer is closed(like in the old "optimus" toy), so to provide Our Optimus a bit of firepower even in is transformed version ^_^... Anyways i think i will get the supreme version ^_^... your work is really awesome. A suggestion... Can't you improve the quality of trailer's pictures in your site? They arent't very clear ^^ Thanks bye 3/25/2004, 8:58 am Send Email to KouUraki   Send PM to KouUraki derepentignymarc Head Administrator Global user Registered: 03-2004 Posts: 217 Karma: 1 (+1/-0) Reply | Quote Re: Materpiece Optimus prime 20th anniversary trailer projects well the extensiion of the lasr turret in truck mode would be possible but it would also require a hole on top of the trailer witch in my view would be a bit of a downside but if you want it ...it can be done!! as for high resolution pictures,when the retail version of the trailer is done i,ll try to have high-resolution pictures.... 3/25/2004, 2:49 pm Send Email to derepentignymarc   Send PM to derepentignymarc MSN KouUraki Registered user Global user Registered: 03-2004 Posts: 3 Karma: 0 (+0/-0) Reply | Quote Re: Materpiece Optimus prime 20th anniversary trailer projects Thank you for your answers... i think that is possible to "hide" with some means the hole on top of the trailer ^_^... i'm eagerly waiting to see your hi res pics ^_^...  bye 3/25/2004, 4:08 pm Send Email to KouUraki   Send PM to KouUraki sodawilly Registered user Global user Registered: 03-2004 Posts: 76 Karma: 0 (+0/-0) Reply | Quote Re: Materpiece Optimus prime 20th anniversary trailer projects I was just curious and had some more questions.....what type of connector is there on the bottom of the trailer to attach to Masterpiece Prime? What is the thickness of the styrene walls for the trailer.....durability wise..... For the illuminated panels.....What are the panels made of for the graphics.....
