  1. It will be the raising pilot seats, neck cover and side covers. Should also be gun straps IMO. With the Millia one you might get the baby pod... Of course they haven't even talked about the M&M, I'm just hoping at this point...
  2. Unless they actually DO re-release them, with extra parts and improvements. Then all of the sudden the perceived value drops by more than half overnight. Maybe that's why this set is being listed right now, before that announcement comes...
  3. Any further progress?
  4. Holy Trailer! Liked the whole thing accept the lady with no armor, or dirt on her, perfect lip gloss, armed with only a pistol in the middle of all those super heroes fighting intergalactic devil machines. Leave her in the control room...
  5. REALLY hoping Yamato re-releases the M&M Valks with new parts -- so I do not have to resort to this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250994092818?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1642wt_754
  6. And it even has a bid! http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-d126165156
  7. Here's photo evidence of an ancient SD Inbit Trooper as well...
  8. Somebody did do an SD Inbit Scout, just last year I think - but I cannot find a pic at the moment...
  9. This?
  10. This might make missing out on the M&M valks the first time around -- GOOD NEWS!
  11. Probably this threads last post, but let me TRY to simply state the reason for my interest in the Volks OHS. I love the Panzer World OVA mech designs. My first purchase was the Wave WHAM red main mecha a few years ago. Its by far my favorite collectable, a true masterpiece. They run about $500 now. So looking around eBay and Yahoo Japan I'd often see older resin kits from that OVA, the centaur guys and a few others. Most were either Max Factory vinyl kits or a line of 1/72 kits from Kotobukiya. I never took the plunge and picked one up. THEN - on evilbay I see a recast of the red centaur figure from a seller in Korea. I questioned the seller and something interesting came up. He said this is not the same as the Max Factory sculpt, its actually from a famous sculpter who also worked on the VOLKS Orient Hero Series and FFS very high end resin kits way back in the day. I bought it and was amazed to see that the scale was exactly the same as the Wave WHAM figure. The hands were virtually identical. Its BEAUTIFUL, I mean the detail is stunning. Its certainly not a cheaper vinyl kit. SO - I thought huh, maybe Wave was inspired by this sculpter and that's what they based their 'non-scale' Galient line on, which includes some simply spectacular mecha designs. Some are picture here, the Snake God guy, silver Wingal flyer type guy and commander blue centaur. Eventually I found this pic online with the Wave Galient, box pictured in the back right next to the red centaur - it must be this kit I just bought! Right? Same scale? Then recently I saw this - the standard centaur and I believe it even has the signature on the front on the box from that famous sculpter and I circled it here. That got me thinking what other designs might that sculpter have done from Panzer World, which brings us to where this thread is today... (phew, not sure anyone cares...)
  12. Sa---weeettt. I think this GOSU looks perfect. I vow to get my grubby little mits on one of those (or 3), if its the last thing I do! The red scout guys guns are wayyy too big though, wonder if he's compensating for something... -------- EDIT - well wait, I guess to be perfect the GOSU would have to have a semi-clear cockpit with pilot, and it does not look like they managed that... It almost looks like it has REVY joints in the shoulders, elbows and knees (!)
  13. I would certainly think this means a re-release of the M&M valks too right? Since those are even more scarce? That would be good. Never manage to find those. They should include gun-straps as well though in these re-issues.. And I think the side covers should all be gray like the GBP...
  14. CMs should have just done Ariel. I mean, you need her for the good ol' Mospeada camp fire diorama. The Yellow in a dress fig sort of creeps me out and I have no desire to pick that one up (pun?)...
  15. Still disagree. Why is WAVE about to release a Legioss? Because their is no market for Mospeada? I realize Macross carries more weight than Mospeada. But head to head I feel a GOSU would outsell a Regult. Not a Glaug maybe but Regult. And after the news of the slow boat from Toynami late with some Regult variation no one wants, and seeing what they SHOULD HAVE DONE about to be released at Wonderfest for $500 I'm sure. It just cheeses me off some. Think a $45 GOSU vinyl toy would have done quite well for them, with 2 other variations to milk later on - that's just my opinion...
  16. So the demand for the mold-milked regult we've seen in model kit and toy form 20 times over the last 20 years is greater than that of a never before seen mech like the GOSU? You're kidding right? I never saw anyone mention terms like "demand is so great" or "already sold out" about the Toynami Pods. Oh - here's a slightly green version of the Regult you already have - at double the price. No thanks. My strong opinion is that they should have done the pod, then Glaug, then light missile, then if everything is going well do the GOSU to keep fans interested in following the line...
  17. So if Toynami had done the GOSU in its vinyl line instead of 5 of the same Regult in a row that line might not be dead. And maybe some of our friends not been fired. What a shame. Yes, in vinyl the Toynami GOSU might not looked as good as this Wonderfest resin kit, but I think fans would have ate it up - world wide - instead of losing interest altogether...
  18. JASONC - do we have anyone on these boards that actually goes? I realize there would be no guarantees but I would rather try on the front end rather than try to get one from auction at twice the price later...
  19. What? Checking back in hours later - still crickets chirping! I'm surprised the reaction to this isn't greater - its a 1/48th GOSU for gosh sakes! Now where's my Mospeada peeps?! ...
  20. ARG - where is everyone? How do I get this GOSU??
  21. SO - are these limited edition resin kits? How could we get one - other than wait and pay a ransom on eBay?
  22. I hate SD stuff - but these are awesome! Can't believe these mech designs live on so many freaking years later... Yamato - where's your 1/60 kits !?
  23. This helped a lot actually. I can see here in the images that they did do the Snake God Warrior Guy. I really believe this is the scale or sculpt that WAVE used for their current Panzer World Stuff - shown here... I tried to add what I thought was the right Japanese text to that link for Panzer World Galient or Crest of Iron but I don't think I got it and crazy stuff came up. If you can provide Volks Orient Hero Series Galient maybe that would get even more results?
  24. Hey - isn't your Avatar an Inbit Gosu? I think we need one of those, in say 1/32 scale?
