Heh, I actually decided to cancel my preorder for the MH after watching that video. Far too fiddly for me. Looks cool in both modes though.

Yeah, I was thinking around the $500 mark. I really like it...but I don't know if I half-a-grand like it.

Mine definitely came with none. I'd email Toynami and ask for some, but A: They've never responded to my emails in the past and B: I don't really need or want the stickers.

You can be sure of it.

Oh my.... http://www.cmscorp.jp/products/bg16_dancouganova.html http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-51855-1-1.html

My 1st edition Roy didn't come with stickers either. Did they start adding them later on or did I just get Toynami'd?

Meh, I can never seem to muster up even the slightest interest in non-transforming toys of things that are supposed to transform. Show me some Destroids or something in this line and I'll get excited.

This is great news for the folks who want a larger Ride Armor but aren't willing to gamble with Toynami's offering.

A 1/10 Ride Armor?? Am I reading this wrong? http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-51849-1-1.html Also it's nice to see the MH boxed.

As much as I'm looking forward to Reideen and Godmars, I have to say my excitement for Daimos is kind of overshadowing those two right now. It's going to be a loooong year waiting for this one.

So he basically worked himself to death. What a waste.

Considering the high price of the set, it seems extra surprising that they aren't offering the Legioss by itself. It seems like they would make more sales if they offered them individually as well as in sets. Unless they're afraid if they offered the Legioss by itself too few people would buy the set. Even though I like the Beta I'd probably just buy the Legioss if I could. It would certainly be less painful.

Dear Roger, Welcome to Macross World. Sincerely, One of the three to four people who actually loves the CM's Legioss.

Well hopefully more pics will surface before this thing actually hits the streets. I'm sold on it already, but it sucks for a lot of you who's decision hinges on weather or not the legs are transformed correctly. Hopefully they will make enough of the blue one where it wont be too hard to find once some reviews start coming in (providing the reviews are positive of course).

I bet Terry Gilliam is just about ready to hang up his hat for good after this. (first LaMancha never happened due to a series of unfortunate events, and now Ledger dies while filming Imaginarium) I can't say I was a fan of HL, but I still find his death tragic.

I LOVE big, clear toy porn images like that. Expecially when the 'model' looks so hot. So far I think I like every aspect of this better than the 1/48. Bring it on!

Macross: VF-17 Non-Macross: Orgroid and Legioss.

I haven't seen a lot of this series yet, but what I have seen I've liked better than any of the previous TF shows. I like the Bulkhead toy so much that I actually bought a loose one off Ebay yesterday. I'm assuming it's a test shot or a sample, but it's painted and actually only ended up costing twice the amount of what he'll be retail. I've never bought a test-shot or pre-production toy before, so I figured what the hell.

Awesome custom. And seeing those pics made me want to dig out my VF17 and play with it.

Can't say I'm excited about the prospect of a MP Grimlock. He's never been one of my favorite designs or toys. I'd much rather see a MP Rodimus. Great news for most TF fans, though.

I assume LAF Toys will be carrying it since they are selling the CM's Ride Armor. And I just emailed BBTS asking if they plan to carry it. Hopefully BBTS will carry it so I can use my store credit from the returned Aoshima Legioss towards it.

I agree 100%. I've never denied that there are good ones out there. The reason I gambled with Toynami's Alphas and Aoshima's Legioss in the first place is based solely on my belief that there ARE good ones. I desperately wanted to be one of those lucky lottery winners. I base my current opinion on Toynami and their Alpha/Legioss first on my own personal experience with two lousy toys (and my definition of lousy isn't relative, these things were garbage), what I've read here, TFW2005, ToyboxDX, Robot-Japan and even Robotech.com. The reviews and opinions I've read are very much on the side of "crappy toy", and for good reasons, not "TOYNAMI IS THE SUXORZ!!" people, I don't count those. I am far, FAR from a picky collector. It doesn't bother me when a toy strays from lineart because typically lineart can bite my shiny metal ass when it comes to toys. I love artistic interpretation and I typically enjoy toys more that aren't made following lineart, using CAD or scanned by Gentile Giant. That's just my tastes and I don't expect everyone to feel the same way. Overall I just want a sturdy toy that holds together well, has tight joints, is nicely articulated, is put together correctly and looks enough like what it's supposed to look like that I wont mistake it for a Gobot. Toynami met almost none of those criteria for me, and CMs is looking to fit all of them (if the reports of sturdiness hold true). I'm happy some people got good Toynami Alphas. If I could be guaranteed of getting one that was perfect and had no issues I would pay $100 or more for it RIGHT NOW. That said, I happily Early Birded the CMs set. Now I just need to figure out what to sell before the payment request comes next month.

I'm sorry, but you're just laughably wrong there. Bias has absolutely nothing to do with toys that have parts breaking, parts already broken out of the box, poor paintjobs, terrible parts-fit, parts assembled incorrectly and loose joints. There have been overwhelming accounts of those problems, and that's just the flat out truth. Your comment pretty much ignores all of the photos that have been posted over the last few years. Or perhaps the cameras were just extremely biased?

Easily the best reply on any message board that I've ever seen.
