protostar8 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I'm confused, who is that supposed to be in the new Riobot promo? Is that going to be a "shadow" version or something of the newscaster lady whose name escapes me right now? Quote
Mog Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 The character is from a new manga, Genesis Breakers. It’s a side story set during the original Mospeada timeframe (I think ). Quote

Convectuoso Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 About the MEP Toys' Invid toys, they have been cancelled. The guy from MEP is going to refund all the orders and later this year have an inventory sale of all the items produced. Quote

They didn’t look perfect, but they didn’t look terrible or anything. And they kept teasing that they were about ready to ship. if they do sell off the ones produced, they could be some very rare items for Mospeada fans, or they could just be horrible junk Edited February 13, 2023 by Big s Quote

The Robotech curse is real. 😳 Quote
mechaninac Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Did they mention when they will be issuing the refunds for both Invid toys? I went to their website and, aside from both toys being listed as Out of Stock, found no information/updates. It's a shame these have been cancelled. I've had one of each preordered since they were first announced, to the tune of almost a Benjamin, and would love to have those funds freed for other pursuits. Quote

The Robotech curse is real. 😳 My guess is that the license covered "manufacturing and selling". So, they are still going to sell what was manufactured, but not manufacture new stuff. Shocktroopers had not been manufactured yet. Scouts had been manufactured, but didn't fit up right, so, as he said in the video, were more like model kits you need to glue in place rather than toys you can play with and swap out the boosters on. For that reason, he felt they were not worth the price that people had paid, so he is going to offer them at a reduced rate, since they are essentially models to turn into statues. I'm disappointed, since I always want more Mospeada stuff, and had one of each on preorder. The only thing I have received is my Hellcat (I loved Sentinels as a kid). However, this feels like a true fan trying to be ethical while dealing with real-world finances and real-world other obligations in his life, so I totally respect it. Quote

Mog Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Nah, open it up and play with it. I know the joints on the blue are ridiculously tight. But it’s probably still the best Legioss toy out there now. No flopping parts in fighter mode, and can hold all sorts of poses in Soldier mode. Quote

Mog Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Three? I thought you’d have to buy EIGHT copies: * One for fighter mode; * One for Armo-Diver mode; * One for solo Armo-Soldier mode; * One for combined Fighter/Bomber mode; * One for combined Fighter/Tread Armo-Diver mode (think half-GERWALK mode); * One for combined Soldier/Bomber mode; * One to pose in Soldier mode with the Tread’s Soldier mode; and * One to keep MISB.

Mog Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I can kick my young kids out of their rooms (and use their rooms for more display spaces), right? I mean they’re eventually gonna leave the house, right?! I’d just be accelerating the process! 🤪 Quote

I still need to be careful not to fill it up once he leaves. Hahaha! Quote

If I remember correctly it was in the year when the oil future prices crashed. Made it a little unaffordable to have multiples of that one.

no3Ljm Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) From Facebook. New Genesis Breaker tools and equipments (Pistol, Rifle, Packs, First Aid Kits, Rations, etc.). Featured in Hobby Japan April 2023 Issue. Edited March 9, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote
roboemo Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Kinda enjoy it, but a bit iffy on the knife part (like doesn't seem good for a scalpel or bone saw). Seems that they have artificial food, but wish they explore civilian life (Lunk/Jim did say that he joined to feed his family, so possible rationing). Like that they kept the original pistol but feel that rifle attachment is cumbersome. Also not sure if they have a prosthetics kit, like something that can be done in a field hospital for wounded Mars Base soldiers. Part of me wish they made uniforms or soldiers aside from Breaker Team. Edited March 11, 2023 by roboemo Quote

Boobytrap Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Received the MEPToys Invid scout over the weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised. It does have some loose fit joints as MEP indicated but they were no where as loose as I was expecting. Just use a little of your favorite joint filler (kiki, glue, nail polish, etc...) and they are good to go. Such a fun piece, and great price, I immediately went out and ordered another so I can have one in each mode. Quote
