eriku Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Godmars is indeed kickbutt - and I would put him right up there with Gunbuster, Dancouga, and Daimos as an "I want!" item. The one thing that bothers me about Godmars - although this isn't his fault - is that the component robots don't turn into anything... I guess I've just been conditioned by transformers that that is what is SUPPOSED to happen... But it's a great accomplishment - that Godmars - no doubt. VFTF1 I'm going to pretend that they turn into garbage cans, recycling bins, mail boxes and other public service depositories. Godmarz helps society by collecting it's mail and keeping it's cities clean!

eriku Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 That actually is a very very cool idea. VFTF1 Got it from ToyBoxDX where someone criticized Godmarz for looking like a bunch of trash cans. When I looked at Godmarz that way it actually made me appreciate it MORE. I'm going to look into getting some small USPS and recyclable logo decals. Way cooler than Captain Planet I tells ya!
konimon Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Bandai seems to be making a good amount of effort so that God Mars and Daimos don't have any kibbles or parts-swap. I might pick-up God Mars just because there are no extra sets of arms hanging out on his back. My passion for the original chogokin Daimos has caused a mild form of childhood trauma, so this is particulary a good news for me. Though the usual SOC price tag would rather cause adulthood trauma.... Edited March 28, 2008 by konimon
VFTF1 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Eventually they will be mine. All I tell myself is the following: Transformers Animated (all of them) or...Daimos and God Mars? The choice is so readily obvious. SOC wins. VFTF1
Fort Max Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Eventually they will be mine. All I tell myself is the following: Transformers Animated (all of them) or...Daimos and God Mars? The choice is so readily obvious. SOC wins. VFTF1 All of the above! (I hope) I wasn't interested in Godmars much (though I have seen a few eps) untill I saw those finished pictures and realised quite what an accomplishment it is, it may even be a more complex and slicker toy then the Gunbuster which is my current fave SOC. It's just so smooth and perfect in both modes, Bandai worked real hard on this and it shows in spades. To sum up, I am so getting a Godmars when I get paid on Monday. I may get Black Sarena but will more likely wait and see if it goes on sale later on, I've notcied that the Specs (bar the Evas) don't seem to sell as well as the main SOC's. Anyone seen any good pics showing how big the Black Serena is? It seems quite a high price compared to Bandai's other toys.
eriku Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I'm very sad that I have to choose between Godmarz and the CM's Legioss/Tlead. Granted I'll have them both eventually, but I want them both NOW. Whaaaa!!
Vostok 7 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 That Black Sarina is pretty sexy looking. Vostok 7
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Love the inside flap of the B/Sarena box! Brilliant. See that's what we should have instead of Yamato's not-even-half-arsed-approach-to box design.
wolfx Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Love the black sarena! Hope they release another boxset with the whole aesti squad along with the various weapons they come with.

There's just too much good stuff coming out now or in the near future that beats it in my book.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Have any of you bought Energer Z? I saw it at my LCS, wanted to know your opinions on it. To me it lacks accessories.
promethuem5 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Hmm... that Black Serena mech is one ugly mish-mash of different colors and styles... why does the bland pink skinny mech turn into a big black immobile ugly mech that then gets lavender flight parts?

Other way around, he starts off in the BS, and suprises everyone by disengaging the armour and "oi oh hey it's Akito's pinky Aeste!!"

Beltane70 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I'll be picking up my Black Selena sometime this week while I'm in Japan. I can barely wait, as I've been waiting for a toy or model of it since August of 98 when I saw the movie here in Japan. All I have now is a pretty crappy gashapon toy of it.
Macross73 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Got My Dynamite Gokin Great Mazinger this after noon very nice. lots of stuff in the box . There are 5 pair of hands , 2 swords etc Edit: also just received the Aoshima New Getter the Closed wing / weathered , Neo Getter Weathered . Should be getting Getter 1 weathered this week too.

Dr. Z Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Got my Godmars the other day. 200% awesome. My next 2 SOC purchases will be Raideen (not sure about which version yet) and Daimos.

Dr. Z Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Same league as Iron Gear (although Iron Gear has more bulk).
HG Blows Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Yes, my black selena shipped. Hopefully I'll get it faster than three weeks, hlj shipping is soooo long. I missed the days when they went through UPS.
jwinges Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Looks like Aquarion got pushed back a month....damn I hate waiting.
Dante74 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Looks like Aquarion got pushed back a month....damn I hate waiting. I'm hoping it'll be shipped together with the YF-21 now.

EMS? lol no time, 1 week max. --- I usually go SAL from JAPAN to Minnesota in the U.S. It usually takes about a week and a half from HLJ and a week for j-list. Playasia takes 4 days and Simplyasia takes about 2 weeks.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Yeah fair enough. Hey IXTL, have you any news on what type of weapons would be included in the new Rebuild Eva-02 SPEC? I'm happy enough with the weapon pack that comes with the April release of Eva-02 SPEC TV, but if the weapons set is a bit more varied than i might just cancel the TV version SPEC... No news?

No news yet and there probably won't be any until the first news about the 2nd Rebuild movie hits. By then we'll probably also see SPEC versions of Rebuild EVA-03, EVA-05 and EVA-06 as well. Going by the TV and movie releases of EVA-01, the Rebuild movie version of EVA-02 might have lesser accessories/weapons since it is only meant to represent the EVA and its weapons as they appear in that specific movie while the TV version covers all 26 episodes and EoE. I'll patiently wait for the Rebuild EVA-02 SPEC though. The Rebuild EVAs have a nicer sleeker body armour than the TV ones.

Yeah, i am torn between waiting for the Rebuild, as it's an April release and i'm getting 2 1/60 YF-21's the same damn month. lol. I'll go and cancel, i don't care for the bozookas or particale rifle, the spear is nice but i can live without. Really impressed with the SPEC 01 i bought off a member here, and i totally dig the swords. (only reason i bought it). Edited April 8, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
