I just saw these and they look whack! Firsta thing is the coffin, its pretty much and close up coffin but its black and gold. But the thing that got me must stoked on was the Gold base Black Hanger brts. They look sooooo good. Here is an article on FBTV

I think there will be an inevitable discussion of copying Close Up's Coffin Curbs here.
Here are some facts: They are both fingerboard sized obstacles that are coffin shaped. Both have metal coping on the lengths. Both have engraving on the top. Close Up Coffin Curbs have been out for years, originally with the Coffin Curb 1 and limited edition ones and now with the Coffin Curb 2 and limited black edition.
Differences: The PST Coffin is an upcurb. The PST Coffin doesn't seem to be a container, just solid.
People will point out that companies don't just own a shape commonly used in the modern world but Close Up was rather unique in having coffin obstacles before this. There's even a pretty well made ad for it. That's just my stance on it but I'm not going to be bitching about this.
Another point I would like to make is the bundle is 160€. A normal BW/BRT/WW setup is 105€. It's also not clear on if a BRT tool is included and those which come with the BW/BRT/WW setup from BRR are worth 10€. This leaves a potential difference of 65€ for the PST Coffin. Sure, I'm exaggerating the difference a bit but for a different graphic (not even split-ply or engraved like some other limited edition BWs), different coloured BRT baseplates and a Coffin upcurb (which in my genuinely unbiased opinion is not as good as the Close Up ones due to them being able to double as a container) you pay 65€ more.
But enough about that. Watch this awesome stop-motion video for the Close Up Coffin Curb 1.

Huh I thought this was like a collaboration between Pornstorm and Close Up but otherwise maybe there will be copyright issues.
