New 3rd party Add-On Kits. Where did you go ???

I have been into upgrading my figures and I miss the day of the upgrade kits that many figures nowadays need as Hasbro or TT did not fulfill my desires with the currently released figures but I still really enjoy said figure.

I have created this thread to help other like me be informed of the new an up coming 3rd party add-ons like this one I found for CW Optimus that apparently makes him leader sized

Lets see what else others can find that have been looked over recently or maybe I am out of the loop of the add-on stuff ?

Re: New 3rd party Add-On Kits. Where did you go ???

Here's the other version of the Leader Class upgrade for OP from SND:

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...00&mode=retail

http://tfsource.com/snd-kit-for-cw-o...o-vitalis-kit/

People thought Beelzeboss ripped off the original creator of that upgrade set. This is his mass market version. I can't say what Beelzeboss did, but it's pretty damn close. I'm assuming other sites will get this kit later on.

First person I'd check with for any upgrade kits is Slayback, of course. Prices in CAD. Otherwise Id go to chimungmung too, he's in USD but he ships really quickly (got my last shipment in 3 business days, and that's from China) and you don't get dinged for customs.

I suggest put a description and a picture in the post, so people will know what is that link about before actual click on the link

Eh... it replaces the entire front chest and comes with a new head. The shapeways one just comes with a clip on chest that doesn't even stay on during transformation.

Re: New 3rd party Add-On Kits. Where did you go ???

So almost a full year later...

The SND kit is out and I picked it up.

I have never modded a figure to this extent before, so it was quite an experience. Knocking out pins was surprisingly easy. I personally had some fun with it, and there was some frustrating parts too (trying to hammer a pin back in was stupid, luckily I didn't break anything before I realized I could just use pliers and make it much easier) but it was so worth it in the end. Love the way Prime looks now in both Robot and Truck mode.

I'd definitely recommend this kit. The instructions aren't the best, so if you're doing this build I'd recommend watching Emgo's build video and Benscollectables as well. Definitely helped out.
