    What's disappointing about the 1/28 scale is with all this talk about Robotech/Mospeada lore with the included sword for the dream episode. There is not one container of "protoculture energy" canister attachment to insert. We just see the openings. they don't have any place for it but we got a dumb sword... The coolest part of the show was the heist of the energy cells via balloons during yellow's concert. I want some balloon attachments and energy cans to trade with Jonathan Wolf.

    Oh no, Tate No yuusha is getting a fifth season. I loved the 4th. But the preview at the end for s5 is filling me with sadness. Poor Naofumi covered in blood after

    Well, most of the fights involved Stig/Stick firing every damn missile and/or RPG at his disposal.

    They're probably fine for main city areas and delivery hubs, but I'm in an oddly remote area that has absolutely no support from DHL directly. Anything I get from them doesn't even come from them, it gets delivered to Bakersfield, and then shipped through a secondary third-party delivery service that neither communicates with nor associates in any way with the official DHL customer account system. I am just completely SOL trying to track down any delivery dates or requests for any re-delivery or hold requests. FedEx and UPS? Absolutely fine. DHL? Just a giant pile of nope out here.

    I have a few complaints about Mospeada but one of the bigger ones is the flight choreography... The battles just aren't exciting.

    All aspects of the transformation and proportions aside, I feel like they absolutely went off the rails though. While they're not what most people would call "significant" departures, there is a rather large pile of details on the original design that they just completely ignored, or purposefully redesigned for no explicable reason. The worst part of this is that some of these were correct on early prototype pics, and Bandai later changed them specifically to be contrary to every piece of reference material, animated, drawn, rendered, or otherwise. They just looked that the art, flipped it off, and did their own thing.

    I wouldn't mind them moving back to the 1/35 prototype and leaving this line as it is.

    Well, like I said, MPG-19 is Soundwave, but it's just a repaint of MP-13. But I'm hearing that MPG-20 is a brand new mold for Hot Rod, and @sh9000 already mentioned that MPG-21 is Blaster. Working back from 19, 18 is Roadhauler ( a green repaint of Inferno), 17 is Style-Gen Optimus Prime, and 16 is the black Nucleon Quest repaint of Super Ginrai, so that's all G1 or G1-adjacent. The problem is, as @Scyla noted, the old MP line evolved a bit from more realistic robots to slavishly Sunbow, but that evolution was gradual and part of a pretty consistent design language and scale. MPG is pretty much anything Takara thinks is a more high-end toy, giving it a more scattershot lineup where you have to pay attention and cherry pick what you actually want.

    There's a bunch of stuff in the OT that was definitely not "for kids." George was always full of crap about that.

    Didn't need a new trailer as I was gonna see it anyways, lol.

    FYI, Hasbro decided to quit Pulsecon, and I expect the Pulsecon exclusives like Armada Nemesis Prime will turn up here.

    Yeah I still have my Hasbro Asia Soundwave, and while it works for me, if I wanted a slavish toon Soundwave this wouldn't be it, I would've grabbed the FansToys which is an incredible figure. Gotta agree this is an odd, rather lazy repaint, I'm wondering how well this will sell, it's an old, heavily dated mold, but it's more toon accurate, will that be enough for some to buy in, or double dip? Is the MP line slowing? Or at least the G1 line? I've got Rattrap on pre-order so Beast Wars is still coming, but what G1 stuff is announced or on pre-order right now? I can't really think of anything new, and that MP Cliffjumper that was leaked, what, a year ago, still hasn't seen the light of day right? Not even an official announcement? How odd.

    Looks like all of us have a long list of the remaining DX VF-1 and other variants on Bandai's wishlist, however can they complete them and not leave everything half done and to tick off more collectors off from completing the lineup (like they do as usual?

    MP-13 is still pretty great but those hips suck. They were trash 12 years ago and they are a big detriment to this repaint. I wished they would have redesigned them for this release for the people who want a toon style MP Soundwave. I’m happy with my Acoustic Wave though. MOG continuous to be a hodgepodge of odd choices. I don’t know what Takara is thinking.
  22. VF-Zero
    As long as i like the Valkyrie or any mecha design in an anime, i will probably grab it, if it is not too expensive.

    The first GREENLAND was good but didn't expect a sequel.

    ^^😬 The only story tie-in between Macross and Mospeada is Robotech. And that’s a can of worms you probably don’t want to go down. Mospeada as a stand-alone anime is actually pretty good. Cool designs, a compelling kick in the face to start the show off, interesting characters, and an enemy that may not exactly be destroying the Earth.
  26. VF-Zero
    I have never watched Mospeada, but i heard that it was connected to Macross so i grabbed a Sentinel RIOBOT series AFC-01I Legioss Iota some years ago and it was a nice looking Valkyrie design anyway. There were three of these Valkyries called Legioss in the Sentinel RIOBOT Mospeada line, i considered getting all of them, but decided to get only one because the other two were only in different color and i don't really know the anime so getting only one of them looked enough to me to have something from this branch of Macross as well.

    So I finally got my Sentinel blue Legioss x2 today. One I combined with the Tread and the other I display in soldier mode. It felt like a nightmare transforming it the first time. Especially the hips that had the pin twisted backwards on one leg. Once a understood the transformation i could get it from fighter to soldier mode in under 10 min. The look great on my shelf, a worthy successor to my old Robotech Alpha/Beta combo.
