I'm with you GobotFool. The scale of the CMs fitting in with so many other smaller scale figure lines is very appealing. I couldn't belive it when I got my first look at the CMs late last year early this year. They reminded me so much of my old Robotech Gakken 1:20 scale ride armor (I had Lancer). He was roughly the right scale to have adventures with my Star Wars toys. Everything from gun fights with Boba Fett or helping Leia do her hair.
I won't be able to afford a complete set of the Beagle Cyclones, and so I won't be getting any of them. Just one would create too strong an urge to get them all and I loose all control of my senses (and wallet). This really kills me since that figure line will be in another appealing figure scale I am collecting in, "Mego" sized. After the initial excitement of my CM collection wears off and the first Beagle hits the shelves, I may start singing another tune. Grass is always greener I guess.
Great news on the Armored Genesis book. I'll be picking one up for sure. Thanks Save.
