Sid Burn wrote:Great packaging, I love the classics look.
Very very nice.
Ah! You wrote exactly what I was going to write... So I agree.
I'm still liking this version for Nemesis Prime, though. The other one looks more "Prime-y", plus comes with all those nice extras for the other Autobots. I could see Nemi pulling this thing, though, and having Dragstrip pull out of the back of it...

Luckily, the package was designed by a Classics fan.

Wow! You!? I had no idea. You must be building quite a resume with all of these custom sets being released for the Classics line!

Yup. I did mockups in the stylings of G1, Classics, Universe and Masterpiece. They liked the classics look, so I made it based off that, but with differences, so its not an exact copy of the real Classics packaging. And the bios and techspecs are for each version's rollers.

I don't suppose you could show us the mockups that weren't approved?

I'll see if I can get permission to show them now. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until the trailers are released.

I'm almost certainly picking up this trailer. I like the futuristic look and it looks great in color. I just hope BBTS doesn't raise the price or anything like that.

Yes they are. I was told one of the members left, so they changed their name to BTS.Toy.

Venksta wrote:Hi everyone. The BTS.Toy team just gave me permission to share the mockup designs for their Classics Trailer packaging. You can view them at the link below. Please keep in mind, some elements from the mockups could not be carried over to the final version, like Optimus Prime's face on an early mockup design.

Man, you do good work. Makes me still wish I was doing 3D design.

Quite a collection, if you find all those!
I'm just planning on the City Cmdr. for Ultra Magnus, the BTS Trailer for Nemesis Prime and the newest FansProject trailer for my Classics Prime. I still can't get into that Shattered Glass Prime color scheme to buy it, though..... I figure the Powered Convoy set might be out of my price range, but I wouldn't mind that on a Henkei Prime...
I love that we have so many choices here, though! What a great way to deck out our Prime collections!

Really? Out of all the Cls Primes that I have of that mold, the one I happen to like the most is actually SG Prime. The detailing and paint apps on that guy are just amazing to me. Def worth the looking at if you get a chance to see one in person.

You know, I would have done something similar only with a second Nemisis Prime had not those knuckleheads from Hasbro taken all of the spares from SDCC and AFA certified them, taking the price from normal price to a ridiculous 175 dollars. Hello, can we say crack smoking?
