You are correct about the AFX vs FX. I worded that poorly. I communicate often with the FX armor makers, and they told me mods are coming and they would appear in the fan boys movie. I interpret their statement as meaning the "new" AFX. This all started when I had suggested a change to to top of the bucket to give is a more rounded (accurate) look. This is changing only one mold to start, that would go a long way to improving the overall look.
Lets face it guys, there is a reason why 95% of the Legion uses FX, and i don't think is all about price. The true accurate armor does not fit most people out there. I have been lifting off and on most of my life, and the shoulder bells that look so awesome, don't even fit over my shoulders. I agree some mods would make the kit look better, but a larger set of armor is needed for those people who don't look like marathon runners. Yes i am jealous.
The people who make the FX stuff are very good people, and have always treated me and my friends right. They have kept the price low regardless of the escalation of ABS cost. What is even more admirable is the demand they have seen after the Rose parade, and the upcoming C4 / 30th. Despite this they have not raised prices. I hope they are making mods because the legion needs a reliable source for armor is we are going to continue to prosper. If this source did go away none of us could afford to buy armor because prices would skyrocket, if you could get armor at all. Even if a new player did merge into the market, you can bet your bottom dollar they would take advantage of demand and keep prices high as long as possible.
So like the fx mold or not, these folks provide an intricate economic function in our ability to get that stuff we want,,, need,,, must have.
Sorry for the ramble,
