gilermo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Got my Rand MPC today! Looks great! Can't wait to take it out of the box when I get a minute. Then reality clicked in-----these two will be the only two I will EVER have... :unsure: This is just soooo wrong in SO many ways Beagle......... It's just too bad that most fans are only just now realized how great this peice is and that it cannot be missed from their collection. Maybe than we would have Fuke right now...Or maybe with enough sales...we still can. I still have a glimmer of hope that toynami will convince beagle to at least finish Fuke sinds both companies have already invested quite some money in development. Congrats with the best Cyclone ever made, don't forget to hook us up with some pics .
Ensign G Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Which one will you guys buy a Beagle worth $205 USD converted or a Toynami version worth $187.5 USD converted? Please help me decide! Edited August 18, 2009 by Ensign G
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'd buy the Beagle ver. The toys are the same, but I prefer the headsculpts over the Toynami versions. It's worth the extra $$ for me.
Tober Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'd buy the Beagle ver. The toys are the same, but I prefer the headsculpts over the Toynami versions. It's worth the extra $$ for me. I would (and did) buy the Beagle versions. Much more expensive back then too.
gilermo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Which one will you guys buy a Beagle worth $205 USD converted or a Toynami version worth $187.5 USD convreted? Please help me decide! It depends. The only difference is the head sculpt and the packaging. Both scupts don't look exactly like the TV show. But i liked the Beagle version slightly better. As far as packaging goes, The toynami version is much better. It's smaller but sturdier. And if you already have other Toynami masterpieces It will fit in fine. I think the japanese versions will be harder to find in the future but that is just a guess. I could not choose and just got both .
jenius Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I also got both. I heard that there were pretty much the same number made by Toynami/Beagle so I wouldn't choose based on rarity. If you're okay with the head sculpt, I'd get the Toynami.

If you're okay with the head sculpt, I'd get the Toynami. The more I have and look at my "scott", I like it over the "stick" sculpt. But the "rand" is gonna take some getting use to...I just went with MPC cause it's a little cheaper and I am a sucker for their very nice packaging. I'm flirting with the idea of trying to weather my "rand" and keep my "scott" pristine......must work up courage.......

gilermo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I am so looking for 1 or 2 sets of these and have no luck finding them on ebay. Anyone know where i can find them? if anyone is willing to part with them for like $50 or someting?. PM me. Edited August 19, 2009 by gilermo
Vostok 7 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah, I'd kill for a set of the bags too. Vostok 7
gilermo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 $199 + $55 shipping for a CM Fuke on EBAY , A bit steep ?
derex3592 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Some quick pics...sorry their not the best, still learning my camera!
doodler7 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Nice pics, Derex. I just got mine today too via ebay $170 shipped. I haven't seen the Beagle head sculpt. So if possible, may you guys please post a photo of the Beagle Rand head sculpt? From what I've seen online so far, Beagle has the more mean and serious face expressions on these figures. Toynami on the other hand has their version include nice and happy faces. Is there a 1/10 Lancer by Toynami coming out? Masterpiece Lancer Cyclone by Toynami ONLY $199.95 from this link: http://www.digital-toys.com/robotech3.html Is this for real?
jenius Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Is there a 1/10 Lancer by Toynami coming out? Masterpiece Lancer Cyclone by Toynami ONLY $199.95 from this link: http://www.digital-toys.com/robotech3.html Is this for real? Yep, it's 100% legit. It shipped back in the first quarter of 2009, right on time. Of course I'm being sarcastic. That info looks like a hybrid of the 2009 release schedule (produced by Toynami in early 2008) and actual MSRP of the Beagle/Toynami MPC. The original release schedule was for the Cyclones Toynami actually intended on making Edited August 19, 2009 by jenius

DarrinG Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 The Toynami version head sculpts look a little better in person than these pics. I'm quite satisfied with them.
gilermo Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 The Toynami version head sculpts look a little better in person than these pics. I'm quite satisfied with them. Me too, i've grown quite fond of them .
gilermo Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Are the instructions of the Toynami in english? Yes they are ...
niVL@Boy Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 wooo.....Just got my Toynami Rand too.....loving it That link to the toynami lancer almost made me jump outta my chair.... crappers.....
RavenHawk Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 FYI: GI Joe has its own version of the cyclone coming out: G.I. Joe Cycle Armor with Ashiko. Just announced at JoeCon. Transformation sequence looks VERY similar to BGC, much moreso than MOSPEADA.
Chet Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 If you guys could get either of these for around $200 shipped or walk-in store purchase: Beagle Rey... ...or Toynami Rand... ...which one would you buy? Please give your reasons! Thanks!

Please give your reasons! Thanks! If the price is the same. i would take the Beagle Ley. If you already have a Toynami scott or other toynami Alpha's/ beta's i would take the Toynami Rand. Good to see more people buying these.
eyesonme78 Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Just keeping the tread going Nice one!! makes me drools, btw gilermo, is your green alpha the aoshima version? look way too bright for colors ( very mint felling )..
gilermo Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Nice one!! makes me drools, btw gilermo, is your green alpha the aoshima version? look way too bright for colors ( very mint felling ).. No it's the toynami Alpha Lancer version .
derex3592 Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) well, for better or worse, with things being the way things are, in a moment of weakness, I finally broke down this am and ordered the Masterpiece Red and Green alphas from RT.com. yes yes, I know....,but I will probably transform them 1 time just for grins (VERY carefully), and then sticker them and put them on display in fighter mode forever. Just couldn't not have the other 2 to go with my blue alpha and beta. Gonna pass on the green and red beta, and hold that cash in reserve for the ever-so-small chance we get more 1:10 Ride Armors someday.......... Edited August 24, 2009 by derex3592
DarrinG Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Know how you feel, I may have to break down and get my shadow alpha from RT.com. Recently got my green alpha from someone here on MW and it was a pretty sturdy item - just be cautious! -- Oh, and on those saddle bags, they really are supposed to be that green! I got my new Mospeada book and it clearly shows them dark green. Gotta have them somehow . . .
EXO Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Hey Gilermo, nice pic. Is that the shadow alpha from my friend?
gilermo Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Hey Gilermo, nice pic. Is that the shadow alpha from my friend? No I already had this one It has a broke arm though, that's why i was looking for an other one Edited August 25, 2009 by gilermo

Maiden Japan Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Just keeping the tread going Great Collection!! Thanks for supporting Toynami!
Hiriyu Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Great Collection!! Thanks for supporting Toynami! Hehe. You are Daisuke, I presume? Love your work. Nice pic Gilermo!

Looking for one at about the same price.
gilermo Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Why the Beagle? Don't have the Scott/Stick yet. Looking for one at about the same price. Because the Beagle version has been much more expencive so far. Plus i like the beagle headsculpt slightly better.
