    Maybe they can tell us which 'factory' it's being made at before we see the quality. That'd be helpful!

    Haha, people actually thinks the silver paint is diecast parts.

    I'm not gonna say I'm never buying from XTB/KFC again, but they've lost so much face in the past year they look like the Question.

    Proto looks pretty good. Like many others I have Power Baser so they're gonna have to come hitting pretty and have a fairly competitive price. That original price isn't gonna cut it.

    I'm more of a fan of their top notch roll outs than their actual products. You never know if it'll be some hairy hands in a dungeon slowly transforming something or a candid bathroom birds-eye view of a paint swatch. *Chef's Kiss*

    Perhaps with the lockdowns over in 2022 the 3P market may collapse. If KFC could get all 3 parts down closer to $300 they may tempt me. And a bit of polish on those promo shots. But as it is those original Show.Z pre-orders at $135, $170, and $175 are likely to end up closer to $200, $250, $250 by the time this finally gets released. Or more. I can't see them being cheaper than XTB Locke or even the Andras re-issue from last year. All those bots are now in the $160 to $175 range already and smaller than any one of the new sets.

    XTB/KFC is good at making $230 trailers. That's the kind of recent figure I'm comparing these to now. I'd need to really love PowerMaster Prime to invest in these sets.

    This thing is gonna cost $1000 given their current brand hubris.

    Off topic: I'm guessing Keith really loves MP28 because he shows up in pictures next to just about everything KFC/XTB have done the past year or more.

    I know there is some connection between kFC and Xtransbots but I've always been happy with my KFC purchases. Victory leo and blaster are great and the junkeons are pretty cool.

    Oh I definitely agree. I have all those figures and enjoy all of them. Recently things have been changing all around and not always to our benefit.

    Yes, that's mine, but that's an old photo of an earlier version of that design. Here's the current version.

    You can PM me if you're interested in ordering a print of the design. I don't sell or distribute my design files at all; just noting that since it's always the next question I seem to get. =)

    I'm pretty sure KFC will nail the aesthetics. My only concern is price, which I may be able to find cheaper if I preorder on Taobao, and the quality. I'm torn between getting the improved newer version of Power Baser or holding out for KFC.

    Both look great, I will get the KFC one when it comes out even though I already own Power Baser.
