He already has, guess whose repro bodies Penguin Custom started with.Dirtdiver wrote:TBGs days will be numbered once the Chinese start copying his copied bodies.
tbg is part of the reason mrlexan has taken a break from it. why should he produce more bodies to help add to tbg's catalog?gomachv wrote:I know there was talk in the past about something with them and mr lexan. I don't know the details but is the body in question one that TBG still offers? If so, which one? I will gladly start looking for an original and send it to them. Mr lexan would have a good portion of my business but he isn't producing anymore and isn't even answering PM's. I would be willing to bet TBG would buy the molds from him if he is "done". (I have bought a few things off me lexan on eBay lately, can't say I have tried emailing him there)
Scr8p, I know what your saying and a copy of a copy isn't right. The problem is the first copy isn't "right" either so it's almost like a scammer scamming a scammer unless mr lexan had the rights to the body in the first place.
I can't think of anything that Chinese companies have copied that anyone thinks is right, the Imax B6 copies are actually dangerous.gomachv wrote:When China copies something it is ok, expected even. But if your Canadian watch out...![]()
I'd much sooner send my money to TBG, say what you will but he has always been great to me and responded quickly to any questions. Try that with a Chinese knockoff.
I'm not out to change anyone's mind, but honestly if you don't like the bodies I just wouldn't buy them. I have only had one issue so far and it was resolved quickly and made more than right to me. I was not involved in the early days with sub par material, all of mine have been thicker and stronger than what I sent.
And on and on it goes...popboy905 wrote:I am sending TBG a deja vu tu body for b3 and a schmacher cat xl body, undertray and belt cover. So if anyone is looking for a repo they should be available in a little bit.
Very cool, the Schuey should be a popular body for them. I don't know anything about the déjà vupopboy905 wrote:I am sending TBG a deja vu tu body for b3 and a schmacher cat xl body, undertray and belt cover. So if anyone is looking for a repo they should be available in a little bit.
