    GX-71 preorders are open again at BBTS https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/89872

    I think the idea of the funky helmet visor is that the targeting system is a HUD.

    I doubt they're getting it sooner. I imagine they're making an educated guess as to what their stock will be and are trying to get PO business locked down ahead of the other sites.

    Preordered on BBTS. NOW WAS THAT SO HARD, BANDAI?
  5. magicsp00n
    Struck out here. Maybe it's a sign I don't need to get into the DX line.

    What's the HLJ link?
  7. magicsp00n
    Sold out already? What the heck?

    Jeez, that was fast. I been looking out for preorders all week and it's all over while I sleep. Hopefully limited Japan stock means more for US retailers.

    Voltes V has wheels on its feet as well, right? How did Bandai handle that chogokin? (I don't have it)

    Thanks for the tip, Jenius! The KC site currently has a sale on Max & Milia that is good enough for me to give in to my M&M completionist compulsion.

    Try looking over in the electronics/movie section. There were no minibots in the toy aisle at my local Walmart but they had a big display in the movie area for Bumblebee, with bins full of minibots.

    I wonder if the inclusion of the Starscream head accessory with OP 3.0 is a hint at another upcoming update...
  13. magicsp00n
    So have we talked yet about the possible timing for a US/Hasbro release of MP OP 3.0? MP-10 got a couple releases here, stands to reason 3.0 will as well, the departure of Toys R Us notwithstanding. I can see a more budget-priced version (perhaps with fewer extras, maybe even without trailer) showing up over here before too long.

    Great news on Yellow and Broughsuperior types. Looks like maybe the front end of Yellow's bike can open up to reveal the missile launchers.

    Got my Ray from BBTS today. The shoulder guards stay on better but the ankle guards fall off if you breathe on them. All in all on-par with Stick, QA-wise.

    I did not order Scott from BBTS, only Rand. (I'd already bought Scott from HLJ) So it looks like maybe they got both batches in at the same time.

    Just got pre-order arrival notice from BBTS for my Ray! The long-awaited day has arrived!

    I'm disassembling my Beagle to try to clean up some of its yellowed parts. Anybody have advice on how to remove this screw cover in the rear? (It's a screw cover, right?)

    BBTS got the Evolution Toys Legioss, so I think it's fair to expect the Sentinels will come through as well. But who knows, I'm eagerly awaiting for word on my order.

    If you see him, ask if he's done an updated design for Houquet to match the others.

    My wife is totally supportive and has talked me out of selling off my collection a couple of times. She likes having a couple of Detolf displays in our living room; it gives visitors something fun to look at. She's let me know that she's keeping half of the toys if we ever split up, starting with all the Millia valkyries.

    It says "Cover cell original picture: Aramaki Shinji"

    Clearly the delay is to address all the visor complaints.

    The limb lions showed up at my local Target. The cashier couldn't get over the fact that, no, I didn't need a gift receipt because I was buying them for myself. Overall I think it's a really nice set. Sturdier than the Legendary version, and can pull off some nice dynamic poses. My big complaint is the lack of bicep swivel; I don't know why they left it out, given the Legendary version has it. But otherwise I'm happy with it, especially the fact that its' a *toy* and I don't have to stress about the kids actually *playing* with it.

    I've still only seen the Black lion at either Target or Toys R Us near me (North Carolina)... hoping the rest show up soon.
