    I was contemplating getting a Big Spring or something similar to make a custom, so I'd be open to XTB doing a remold/repaint.
    That is, of course, wholly dependent on whether they can regain any degree of trust through some quality releases in the meantime.

    I don’t think we’ve seen these details before like the crushed crown he comes with and the toy style gun pre-order bonus. Spaceship and
    mini PVC figure?

    Fully mute metallic paint! The age of nano-paint has passed, the time for mute paint has arrived!

    I like what I'm seeing so far, but it makes no sense to pre-order this a year in advance IMO. There are too many opportunities for it to change into something I don't like or for a superior offering to show up between now and then.

    @divinecomedy the innovations from XTB these days are simply amazing!

    Honestly though $190 seems aight for what we seem to be getting.

    Can't agree more. Especially when comes to XTB product, I would rather wait for more actual reviews than pre-ordering. The worst I can lost is just a few pre-order saving dollars, but I might avoid big lemons.

    Will see more off loading of Sovereign for around 260-300 so 186 doesn’t sound too bad?

    Agreed, though at the same time I do like the security of having one locked in already. But at the same time, XTB should really take advantage of this time and really work on trying to get Abaddon to be the best motherfucking Galvatron the world has ever seen, rather than just leave it as is for a year and then push it out for production.

    BBTS has it up for $199.99

    Master X MX-4 Abaddon (With Bonus)

    One would have to be insane to PO this, or a glutton for punishment. I can practically see the stress marks in the render.

    Well, call me crazy or a sado-masochist, because I just preordered this bad boy from BBTS. :D

    Lunatic.

    Srsly tho, it's a smart move to do it at BBTS or some place where no deposit is required, even if it's more $ imo - reviews will be out long before it drops so you can cancel without a hassle. And being that it's a year off, plenty of time to prepare for the cost; plus, you can forget about it b/c you have one locked in.

    My basic point is that I just can't see how it won't be a fiddly, QC-riddled piece of shit, given the complexity if this mold and the shoddiness of XTB's recent forays.

    You can probably contact them, if you'd like. BBTS usually doesn't post digibashes (to the point that sometimes, they wind up sticking with grey renders for the entire order period), so someone must have gotten a "funny" batch of images somehow.

    I hear you. That’s exactly why I did go with BBTS. I preordered Locke from them and when the shit hit the fan with that figure, I cancelled that sumbitch quick.

    Slow is a virtue when it comes to XTB products ;)
