I know these kits exist. Problem is I have no idea where to look.

Can anyone lead me in the direction of getting my hands on one of them?

There's a thread of someone who put theirs together.

Weren't there like 100 or so of these available?

I have one. Never finished it. Generations Drift works for me.

That was El Duque in his collection thread. From what I remember the company went out of business so they may be impossible to find unless someone has one they are will to sell.

Yep, I got a completed one. I used to see them on eBay quite a bit, but I haven't been shopping on there in a while. That's where I would start though.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess it's time to start hunting a new grail kit for my resin collection.

Interested in selling?

Not really, there never was a company. It was a garage kit project by a Singapore based forum to raise interest in their site and their convention. To get one you had to ether be a member of their forum or go to the convention. The kit was limited to 100 and sold out fast, making it really hard to get in the first place.
They also made the very first upgrade set for City Commander, a head, blaster and shoulder missiles all cast in resin, limited to around 50 and also exclusive to their members.
They are also responsible for the MP rolers with Ultra Magnus riffle and all their crazy repaints.

Don't know if the forum exists anymore.

They also made a resin Wheeljack conversion kit for the Universe Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold, which I also bought.

Actually, I might be. Let me take a look at it and get back to you. Like I said, I never finished it. I'll PM you after I check it out.

Cool stuff.

As long as all the parts are there and if I can get a pic to see what's been done, I should be good.

After scratching the Outlaw Star Melfina kit from Alpha off my list, Cybertronian Drift is next on my list of resin grail kits.

Yes the site's still around. It's call SGCollect.

There's also a black version of the Drift resin kit (DFT-01X Assassin Kit - Ltd 50) which I managed to get as well. There's also a Knight Morpher kit, the story behind which I'm still unclear about.

As for the Wheeljack kit, it was based on this particular Wheeljack custom I got from a fellow board member on SGC.
