Poll- X-Metal Collection 2015

[Carrera1963]

Aside from a lack of replacement parts, there's nothing wrong with the R2...

Apart from the naming decision perhaps?

 

[Brian Nickell]

I think I'll side with @Carrera1963 on this one. It doesn't resemble the R1 much at least to me.

I'll concede that, though that's never bothered me.

Even among the X-metal "purists" there are black sheep and red-headed step children.

Half-X is definitely the black sheep.

So you're saying R2 is a RHSC? I hadn't noticed that.

When I started lookig at X-metals it almost seemed like the XS was the RHSC. Not as shunned as the Half-X, but not eveyones favorite. It feels like more people have warmed up to them since then (and the prices have followed).

Yeah XS has been a love-or-hate pair...

Recycling a name? Blasphemous to the purists.

I posted too soon. I had the one-liner;

They may as well have called it Tybalt!

Bazinga

 

[Lupetto]

Just my personal preference. R2 imo don't have the same appeal as the rest of the line.
