ZF-001: Cretaceous Advancement

A new (I think) player on the scene is Zenith Forge and their Cretaceous Advancement set. Tired of that gap in the chest of dino mode FoC Grimlock? Some other projects have been canceled, but this set just went up for pre-order at various sites, including BBTS:

It looks like it comes with a replacement head, sword, shield, and chest piece. Due out in September.

The price looks very decent for a set like this ($30), though I don't know that the gap bothers me enough to get this.

I want that Iron Factory upgrade kit to go up for preorder. The belly piece works with the transformation nicely on that one.

It doesn't look like it works at all with this one here, it is just something that clicks into place?????

After comparing the various images, this appears to be the CustomzByZ Shapeways kit!

I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. I'm considering it, but finances have suddenly gotten tighter.

WTF?! How many more of these FOC Grimlock chest filler, sword and shield, and head combo kits do we need?

I thought there were pretty much no mass produced chest pieces out there. Mainly I've seen either Shapeways parts (which a lot of people don't want for having to paint/sand due to ability or time) or were canceled before going much past the design phase.
