    There was some talk of this (or maybe it was just some sketches suggesting it), being done in line with the grittier, WWII-inspired bent of the original plots for the show.

    This has been my hope for a long time. They seemed to handle the Megazone 23 vehicles in a way that would be highly applicable here (mostly common mold components, with some slight variations in add-on pieces and in coloring, just like MOSPEADA would require). They did the same with Bubblegum Crisis. We could've had a ride-armor triumvirate! Then again, I think they stopped producing both of those lines already, so they either feel the fanbase is tapped out, or just didn't find it all that profitable.

    Just to chime in here, I have to agree with Lonely Soldier Boy (as I seem to usually find myself doing) and JasonC. After seeing the comparison pics, I actually like the Wave kit even more. So far, my displays consist of what in-scale ride armors I have all together, and then the Beagle toys, blue Legioss, blue Tread, and shadow Legioss on a higher shelf in back (everything else tends to stay boxed up... I guess I'm a bit minimalistic when it comes to displays). The Wave is making me consider having a shelf for some decent Mospeada models, though I'd really love to see an extension of this line, including the Tread and various Inbit, all in the same scale. Speaking of models, does anyone remember the little spaceship die cast models that Hasbro makes (made?)? Mostly Star Wars stuff, though they had a line of Battlestar Galactica ones too. I'd really love to see all of the fleet spaceships from Mospeada done like there, just for displaying in the background. I really loved the design of those.

    Speaking of which, I was randomly thinking this morning (honestly don't know why this popped into my head) how cool it would be if Yamato did a Shinji Aramaki moto series. Basically, re-release their Bubblegum Crisis and Megazone 23 bikes and figures (with some sort of slightly new paint jobs, to show that they're part of the Aramaki line, but requiring no new mold costs), then release MOSPEADA ride armors in the same scale (which are already out there; maybe they could license the molds), and then just do a new mold for the Viper's Creed bikes. Basically, we get a whole new lines of toys, with most of the molds already existing, and the remaining ones all being only a handful of new molds which can be recolored for multiple figures. I'm not missing any Aramaki bikes here, am I?

    Wow, that was REALLY well done! I can't imagine the amount of time that must've gone into making that.

    I'm slightly OCD, so though I only keep my motorcycle-related collection in my home office, then only stuff really on display together is what's in scale, meaning my Yamato Bubblegum Crisis stuff, my Yamato Megazone 23 stuff, my CMs MOSPEADA Ride Armors, and my Armor Hunter Mellowlink. Ok, in fairness, the Beagle Ride Armors and a Megahouse black and white Yellow are on a nearby shelf too.
  7. RavenHawk
    Well, they were both designed by the same person, so it's not surprising. I like the similarities.

    Hey there, amazed you remember. I've just been too busy with work/family/dating to even give it much thought. Maybe somebody here would like to lend a hand, take what I've compiled?
  9. RavenHawk
    From what I remember (I may be wrong, and thinking of Megazone 23) there was talk of there being enough material to publish a second book, but it was all going to depend on sales of the first.
  10. RavenHawk
    Agreed. I have the metallic Priss and absolutely love it. I wish they'd release metallic versions of the other figures too. I guess Yamato is done making any Bubblegum Crisis or Megazone 23 figures/vehicles?
  11. RavenHawk
    I wish they'd make some MOSPEADA ride armors, to go next to my Yamato Megazone 23 and Bubblegum Crisis toys... EDIT: Oh, and Viper's Creed too...

    I think it's been like 3, not 6, but either way, as much as I'd like to complain about how long it's taking him... heck, he's the one doing it, on the side, just for the fun of it, so he has the right to take as long as he wants, lol. As for it being MOSPEADA accurate, I've thought about that too, but don't really know how they would accomplish that. The idea for the bike came from a VR250 Honda, from what I recall, though that bike looks nothing like the bikes in MOSPEADA. Functionally, it's probably more like a Ducati Multistrada (the new one) than anything else. As for realism, well, at least he's working directly with Shinji Aramaki and making it match the cover art to that most recent MOSPEADA book, so don't think we can ask for more than that.

    Very cool stuff
  14. RavenHawk
    Aren't the Busou Shinki (if I'm remembering the spelling correctly) a similar concept? Those toys also have a couple variable bikes.
  15. RavenHawk
    What is this from?
  16. RavenHawk
    Very cool, but I don't know what this is from, and I don't think it comes with the figure.
  17. RavenHawk
    Lol, glad to hear it man. I still owe you an email, btw.
  18. RavenHawk
    Nice! Congrats Lucas! So, I can assume the bike transforms, right?

    I have the three black and white CMs (Stick, Ray, and Shinobu) and the all-black Megahouse Yellow. Frankly, while the CMs are great because of how much stuff is out there for them, the collectability, and the fact that they're in scale with all of my Yamato Bubblegum Crisis and Megazone 23 figures, they're just not fun. Purely display pieces. The Megahouse is actually kind of fun... but somehow, one is enough for me.

    I feel like the green ones were, at least maybe in orbit attached to LEGIOSSes, during the final battle, but I may be remembering wrong.
  21. RavenHawk
    I thought this was canceled because the Betas weren't selling well enough? I hope it's real, because this was the only one I wanted in addition to the blue one I already have.
  22. RavenHawk
    There are a few of us (ok, maybe just me) who actually like the aesthetic (and keep in mind, I've liked G1 and Beast Wars and the prototype pics from TransTech, but no other ones really worked for me, so I'm definitely not into the very cartoony and organic looks), just not the storytelling of the movies.

    I personally never bought from him, but someone I spoke with had issues with him. They were buying a set of figures from him, limited edition ones, and when the set arrived the accessories were not with them. When he was contacted about it, he said that he never specified he was selling the accessories too, and had actually sold the accessories separately to someone else, and refused to budge on the issue.

    I bought the blue alpha and the shadow alpha. I also bought the blue beta when it came out. The shadow beta was the only other beta I was planning on buying. I'm actually pretty bummed out by that. The Beagles are obviously the showpiece of my collection, with the CMs bikes (no Legioss or TLEADs) displayed with my Megazone and Bubblegum Crisis bikes, plus a single Megahouse, but still was hoping to have the matching set of alphas and betas.

    I got mine on ebay. Just had to be patient and wait for one to come up for what seemed like a reasonable price to me.
