RF-006 preorders are once again open for a limited amount of sets. This is most likely the final chance to order a set. You do have the option to pay now or later. Please take your time and fill in all required information. I will try to accommodate all orders submitted.

Ordering will stop October 3rd, 2011 at 11:59pm PST, or a high volume of orders have been placed.

All RF-006 orders that were placed at the beginning of the month have been processed. All Pay Now orders have been invoiced. And Pay Later orders have been recorded, and an email has been sent to confirm your requested order. Due to the high amount of Pay Now orders, only the first 150 kits will be shipped out by the end of October. However, all Pay Now orders will receive the bonus orange gun.

Due to the high demand of the RF-006 kits by people who did not place an order, I will be opening up orders again tomorrow, September 26th, at 6pm PST. There is a planned 100 sets up for grabs. However, I will try to accommodate everyone based on demand. This will most likely be the last chance to order the RF-006 kits. Pay Now orders from this batch will ship at the end of November. Pay Later kits from this batch will ship at in January 2012.

As well, for those waiting for their RF-005 kits to ship, this week I will finish shipping any remaining kits. So watch out for a shipping confirmation email soon. As stated before, all delayed kits will come with at least 1 free random 2 pack weapons set.

The order page for the RF-006 Gold Scout kit is now closed. I will do my best to accommodate all orders submitted. There is no guarantee if the RF-006 will be available in the future, for those who did not place an order during this past week.

As a reminder, it will take me several days or more to go through all the submitted orders. If you have not received an invoice or email notification, it means I am not finished going through the orders yet. I will go through all submitted orders and invoice or send an email notice. Please be patient while I do this.

Due to the high volume of orders submitted for the RF-006 kits, it will take me awhile to go through all the submitted orders, invoice people, and record orders for later batches. This is a very long process. So it will be days before many people get their invoices or order confirmations.

Once I have finished this process, I will let everyone know. At that time, if people didn’t get an invoice or email, then they are to contact me. At the moment, I ask for your patience while I sort through all the orders. So please postpone from emailing me at the moment about your order. It most likely has not been looked at yet.

For those waiting on getting their invoices, please be aware, it is taking me time to go through all submitted orders and either send an invoice, or record your order for a later batch. I hope to have this sorted through, by Monday night. I will make a update here, once everyone is invoiced, or has had a email confirmation sent. So please wait until that post, before contacting me to check about your submitted order.

For those in Vancouver BC, Gotham Collectibles is hosting a TF Collectors Night, tonight starting at 5pm until 9pm. I will be there with some prototypes on display, as well as some new stuff that will be unveiled. You might be able to even win a test casting for one of the new RF projects! As well, you can check out the Gold Scout kits in person.  Full details and address to Gotham Collectibles can be found in the poster below.

Note: Once your submit your order, the page should reload again to how it was before. This is normal.

Below are the test castings of the final RF-006 Gold Scout upgrade kit.  This kit was created to make one of your extra Bumblebee figures into Goldbug.  As not everyone has a United Bumblebee, I have decided to offer the RF-006 kit in 4 different colors, to help you make your ideal classics Gold Bug figure, out of whichever spare Bumblebee figure you have.  The main RF-006 kit is the G1 version, which comes in the navy blue color.  However, since none of the figures have navy blue present, the color might seem out of place.  So you might find one of the other colors work better for you.  More info below, after the photos.

Please read all the details below carefully, before proceeding to the preorder page.

The RF-006 Gold Scout kit is $30.00 CAD plus shipping.

RF-006 – Blue helmet, face, 1x translucent blue visor, 1x solid blue visor*, 2x blue guns (G1 color scheme)
RF-006B – Black helmet, face, 1x translucent blue visor, 1x solid blue visor*, 2x black guns
RF-006Y – Yellow helmet, face, 1x translucent blue visor, 1x solid blue visor*, 2x black guns (ideal for Classics, Legacy, and Henkei Bumblebee)
RF-006R –  Orange helmet, face, 1x translucent blue visor, 1x solid blue visor*, 2x black guns (ideal for RTS Bumblebee)
*The solid blue visor shown is just a test casting.  The final color is still being worked on, and will be shown tomorrow night, with the second update.

This kit is now available for preorder.  Estimated ship date is at the end of October, 2011.

You will have the option to pay later, when the kit is close to ready, or ready to ship.

People are allowed to order multiple kits.  Just tick off which kits you want, or enter the number in the comments/instruction form in the order page.  I do have the right to limit kits, in case of overwhelming orders.

For those interested in a early bird special, the first 150 paid orders will recieve a translucent orange version of one of the regular guns that comes standard with each kit.   In case the kits do not ship on time, any early bird orders will receive a second Gold Scout gun in translucent orange, equaling to 4 guns total.

For anyone who placed an order between May 15th, 2011, to August 19th, 2011, and the order did not ship out within 6 weeks after payment was made, or if you are still waiting for it to ship after 6 weeks since payment was made, you are eligible for a bonus offer with your RF-006 order.  Look up your invoice number in the original payment from your previous order.  By submitting your invoice number with your RF-006 order, you will receive $1.00 off, and a translucent blue gun.   This offer can be doubled up with the early bird deal, if payed upfront.  Please note, this special offer is limited to one person and order.

Photos of the two special offer guns will be shown off tomorrow night.  Please check back then, to take a look.

Ordering the RF-006 kits will be available from now until September 1st, 2011, 11:59 PM PST. Or, if 350 orders are submitted, which ever comes first. There is no gurantuee the RF-006 kits will be available after this time frame.

If you have any questions about ordering, please feel free to submit a question.

The order page is now closed until Tuesday.  The RF-005 kit will not be available for awhile.

I will be taking the order page down tomorrow at  around 11:00 PM PST, along with ordering the RF-005 kit.  It most likely will not be available for order again, for a couple months, due to planned projects coming up.

Here is a small photo gallery showing very rough prototypes for upcoming projects.  These were shown off at this past TFCon, in the first ever Third Party panel.  Designs and details are still being worked out on the kits shown below. Final designs should look different and address any major concerns.

The Goldbug kit, RF-006 Gold Scout, will be going up for preorder next Tuesday, at 6:30pm PST, along with the final design photos.  For anyone who placed an order from May 15th, 2011, to the current date, and waited more than 6 weeks to have it arrive, waiting for it to arrive, or has not been shipped yet, you will have an option to place an order for RF-006 and not pay until it is ready to ship.  As well, get your invoice number ready, as you can redeem two offers when you submit your order next week.  There will be other cool bonuses for RF-006.  Come back next Tuesday to find out.  Just make sure you take your time to read and fill out the order form correctly!

As always, you can comment on these prototypes at the Renderform facebook page!
