I received this email today from BBTS. No new photos of the product at BBTS. All we need now is the figure to be in circulation. The wait goes on.

Crazy it's taking so long. I have had the figure for awhile now. I ordered directly from Kitzconcept and got it in like 3 weeks. 

3D print files for the Logan are now for sale.

Damn. I'm going to go in for one.  It's a little smaller than I would have liked for my collection but at this point 1.) Beggars can't be choosers. 2.) Who knows if and when someone else will step in. 

Whoever out there has a 3D printer could make a killing selling hover cycles for this baby. 

I'm still really confused about this figure. So the red box with cool art is a Crunchy Roll exclusive but it still says it comes with the armor. So, is there one figure or two?

Edit: Two figures in one box confirmed.

What in the...?
I mean the Riobot 1:48 is amazing, and this...  Then the branding, Robotech-II?  Seriously?  Are they trying to bring that back?

I've always wanted a larger Legioss / Alpha. If this is better than the Evolution toy I'm  in.

Something about this  has me digging it. It does look kinda "derpy" or imperfect but so did the toon most of time, and actually a lot of the models.  I own the DX and I feel like this isn't trying to be that, and I'm okay with that. Count me in.

New pictures of Dana armored up.. New planned release date to be July during HK Comic Con.

 

 

I guess I'm a little confused with what they are showing with this figure. The un-armored version has white cloth under garments and the armored has black. So the figure comes with both? Is their precedent for a figure this size being able to remove a cloth costume?

While advertising their upcoming jet fire color scheme. A random update on their Dana Sterling came in the comments from this post. Apparently the figure is due out in April of next year and now has cloth under armor clothing. 

Got mine. Though I kinda wish I got the combo pack now because I don't want to take it off. 

Damnedest thing. I ordered from Hobby-Genki and was getting worried because I haven't heard from them and I got an alert from FedEx( which I thought was spam initially) and it shipped on two days ago.

What really tickles me is the idea hg has even made the effort to have the right to show an rt movie in Japan 

They didn't. Sony did.

This is huge! A win for everyone particularly the fans of this franchise in all its forms. 

Not sure if this warrants a separate thread. But could anyone point me in the direction of where I could commission the build of a  Hovertank in the robot mode? It's always been one of my favorite mecha and the Matchbox just doesn't do it for me. 

Thanks everyone. Looks like I need to exercise a little more patience. But my VF-1S is feeling naked. 

How legit is Anime-Export? I preordered the super part set back in the summer and my order page still says waiting for release.  

As others have said it was a hassle to get but, looking at my shelf taking shape I can't help but think what a time to be alive. I missed the Arcadia and Yamato days. So to get something brand new and screen accurate is really, really cool. 

Ordered from Nin Nin as well, and Fed Ex isn't messing around I wasn't expecting it till tomorrow but it's now due to arrive today with a snowstorm in full swing. 

Also, what was the release on the super parts set tv version? People are saying theirs are on the way. I ordered from Anime Export and it's still listed as releasing December.

Thanks for posting this. I have also just received the same email alert and thought the price was quite reasonable. Don’t know how much shipping will be but this seems a good deal. 

$14.33 Shipping for a total of $281.23

Got my tracking from Nin Nin last night but just got an alert from Okani. Cheaper than what I've paid if anyone is still in need.

I kinda like it. Not for that price mind you. It's crazy to me that Takara Tomy can release large scale bots that are way more complex in terms of transformation and articulation and we still can't get a decent SDF-1

Finally got this done! Looking forward to getting the Zeta, especially if they fix that floppy wing and make the shoulders easier to rotate. The Zeta will probably come with a new female pilot figure so maybe they can tighten that up also.

Great review, as usual. As you say in our video a compelling case is made for a Tread. Here's hoping we se a prototype soon. 

After my first and what I believe will be my last PO craze, I can say while I'm not a rich man it did not seem worth it. Buggy sites, and potentially shady sellers were too much stress.  Unless this figure  turns out to be something crazy rare a hundred more when it's released and piece of mind  doesn't seem like a bad trade off. 

Damn I have never been as conflicted as I am right now about buying a figure. If it was a half an inch an inch bigger bigger it would be an insta buy. Having just bought the shitty Toynami less than a year ago and also having its Tread not to mention their superposable it feels like a really expensive trade in.
