Like, but says "late february release" that me not like.

My toughts exactly. The bike alone looks meh. And it's a shame, the Cyclone is a beautiful bike on its own. In the lineart the bike looks more agressive and muscular, like a streetbike.

I think Gakken's 1/8 did a pretty darn impressive job on the bike, I'd love to see someone best it (and it doesn't appear Mega House will be... but Mega House's certainly has many substantial other improvements):

Can we recap on the known release dates?

Toynami: December 2007?

Megahouse: February 2008?

Beagle: ????

CM's: ????

Aoshima: ???? (same as Toynami, maybe?)

Slightly OT but I had to share this while waiting for the Mospeada Ride Armors to come out.

Very cool. Did you notice the mini alpha, beta, and VF-1's the guy made???

Bike Cyclone

I may have to use the lego builder to make the alpha and beta and maybe order the parts.

By the way, if anyone does manage to build it, can you share the exacts or the lego builder save file?

I believe the new MegaHouse Cyclones were in the $50 to $60 range, it was detailed in one of the previous pages (in Yen).

thanks.

When and where can I buy them?

Agreed... I too would very much like the parts list and instructions for those mini valks and Monster... damn impressive.

If I could figure out how to contact the make, I'd send him an e-mail or even leave a comment, but I don't see any features that let a person do that. I can figure out the majority of the parts they used, but I don't see them in the colors needed in the Lego Store, so I'm thinking he must have purchased a very specific kit that has all the parts needed inside of it. I almost doubt that some of the parts are Lego parts and not third party look-alike parts.

I don't see any clone bricks in these creations. However, I do see parts that were released in older sets that may not be in production now. LEGO doesn't produce every part in every color every year. Each year they have a part palette they work with, and only produce certain bricks in certain colors. They also don't make every piece in every set available online or through LEGO Factory at any given time.

If you're interested in getting specific pieces try http://www.bricklink.com/

BTW, is the cyclone of this old pic the Megahose one?

post-2996-1193331810_thumb.jpg

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. It has all the nitpicks that I hoped would disappear by the production version stage, but somehow managed to prevail trough the whole development process, such as the collapsed rear shocks and the ugly front of the bike. I still love the crates and Rand (or whatever his name is) is spot on. Stig looks off but that's overlookable. Not so the price tag.

Toynami version was to be around the same price and those were bigger. I still prefer Megawhore's, but I'm not so hyped about them now.

Edit: Does anyone knows what happened to Toynami's Cyclones, by the way? Are they still coming out?

does anyone know what happened to Toynami at all? Even their Aoshima product has failed to materialize... no Shadow Chronicles stuff, no more 1/100s, and when was the last MPC? Something is afoot...

Shocked? Pavlov has nothing on you... lol.

I have a conditioned response to questions about Toynami? Is my conditioned response to say "Yep, looks like they fell off the face of the Earth" in question form? Okay...

I now actually think it's the Beagle one:

Beagle proto

Why have we got two topics for essentially the same subject, can we merge and summarise?

Beagle - 1/10

Toynami/Aoshima - 1/15

Megahouse - 1/15

CM's Corporation - 1/18 http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-42764-1-1.html

Someone else can fill in the rest as I have to be getting off to bed about now. ;)

The last contender shows their stuff.

It's going to be a close race between Megahouse and Beagle for my money.

If they all turn out good there's also the possibility of having each Mospeada gang member come from a different toy maker :lol:

That CMs one looks TERRIBLE... might be really cheap though.

I agree. It looks like those toys that come with a piece of chewing gum.
