Hey, that's why I said what was "supposed" to be released this month. I have no real expectation that we'll see the MPC Beta this month but I've got one preordered and I promise that when it does rear its head I'll have it on my site within a week. EDIT - You know what would suck for me? If the Beagle is released one week before the MPC Beta. That would mean I'd get both toys at the same time and have to decide which one to review first.... Man, that'd be a tough decision.

I think I figured out why I'm not too offended by Bandai's liberties... because the VF-25 is fugly. Edit - that's just a little humor for ya folks.

yeah but at the same time it never looked very dynamic in the anime either.

Save, was there a guess at what the price point would be in order for 500 units sold to work?

I haven't spoken with them about it in months and last I did they weren't ready to have their name associated with the product yet... and when they are they'll probably make an announcement through something more reputable than me

I wonder how progress is coming on that Gosu toy... Is CMs scale 1/18 or 1/48?

Gooh, I'll have to make an edit. Thanks

Pretty sure it's the item underneath the saber... am I mistaken? To the right of the big gun.

This is all set to be a very big month for Mospeada fans. For those keeping track, and if I'm not forgetting anything, the following items are supposed to be released this month (in no particular order) 1) Beagle Ride Armor 2) Toynami Beta 3) CMs Houquet Ride Armor (Fuke) 4) CMs Shinobu Ride Armor Of course in the Macross universe we're also supposed to get the Weathered Tomahawk released later in the month and Hikaru's super VF-1J 2.0. Hope you've been saving your pennies. In the meantime, cruise by my site and see my CMs vs MH VR-41 post

Thousands? Not likely, their production runs are very small these days, only a few thousand at a shot.

So is that going to be an exclusive too or will it be just the same as the original release in price and availability?

$100??? Holy Schnikes! I guess that's in line with what they cost originally... but I'm glad I paid much less by waiting for the bargain bins.

Yeah, I had no idea how to get one...

I like the picture of the original wooden prototype toy.

I thought Japanese kids were just more extreme about what they considered "Morning cartoons."

$102.99... $102.99.... $102.99 Where do you people shop where this thing costs anywhere near $170??? STOP SHOPPING THERE.

Overdrive has them at 102.99. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/produc...847d10fb1d44640 Oops, sold out.

$175? I thought it retails for $102 or something like that.

I don't see the tab, am I missing it? In fact, it looks like there's a lip there preventing the leg from coming any higher up.

It's sweat? Gross! Okay, just kidding. My jealousy is palpable.

That's not at all what I'm saying. Everyone should participate... but when you find yourself coming back and saying "It's not a Ferrari, it's a truck!" every other post then maybe you're getting a little too involved and could use a breather.

Jeebus, these comparisons are laughable. The thing is SLIGHTLY chunkier than the 3D model with slight tweaks here and there. It's not like you can't tell it's supposed to be a VF-25... in fact it is quite OBVIOUSLY the VF-25. This thread needs a whole lot of "simmer" in it. If you guys hate the toy so bad, give up on the thread.

I think you REALLY need to reach if you want to put a current events allegory into MacF. The "war is bad" message is there, the "people who want war are bad" message is there, the "love is good" message is there, but to assign characters to current day people or organizations is just projection.

I'd go 1/60 V2 by a hair... and just a hair. I much prefer its size as owning multiple 1/48s sucked up way too much free space (I'm glad I sold off so many of my 1/48s... it's like a got a whole new closet out of it). The way the reflex missiles fit perfectly on the 1/60 V2 and, if you don't have shoulder issues, the 1/60 V2 just feels like a more polished product.

Maybe just a rough spot for me finding good anime.
