I finally snagged one at hlj. Wohoo! These will be my only M&M's since I don't care to pay an arm and a leg for those in 1/60.
-
Pricey! What's the MSRP on this?
-
That didn't keep me from missing on it yet again.
-
It always seemed to me that the Evo is bigger than the MPC and CM's.
-
Yeah, it's nerve wrecking.
-
Ah, my bad. Thanks, no3Ljm.
-
Wow! I didn't noticed the markup. It was under 350 when I preordered it and even then it seemed too much. I could pass up some of the flaws, like the Shogo figure being subpar for today standards, or the torso sitting way too high (plus all the small design issues a toy this complex is bound to have), but not at 350 bucks.
-
I know! I'm super hyped about it. And so happy I didn't shell out for the Evo. Two VF-2ss toys a few months apart from each other after 24 years. Crazy.
-
You know, now I have the feeling it'll end up in the discount bin soon after release, if it gets released at all.
-
Fewture's Garland (which was slated for release at the end of last month), was pushed back to April. I wonder what it means. Anyway I cancelled my preorder. I like the redesign, but I couldn't justify the price: http://hlj.com/product/FEW96571

That's Evolution for you. As much as I love the VF-2ss design I couldn't talk myself into getting one. It was a bad toy from the prototype stage and it showed. Of all toys, all the past Legiosses taught me not to pay too much attention to the sculpt, because a good toy is all about design (sturdiness, choice of materials, transformation, tolerances, etc) and design wise this guy doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table (i.e. the tail fins doesn't seem to have a locking mechanism like the MPC and CM's). Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to ditch all my Toynamis and replace them for a good Legioss line and I REALLY hope this is it, but as it stands I think I'll wait for the reviews too.

Same

Missed on Max. Still, I paid for my Millia. I think it'll be easier to get Max later on than the other way around.
-
It's a tricky part given the transformation system of the VF-2ss. I'm not sure which route Bandai took with their version but it can't look worse than Evolution's. As much as I love the design, I had to skip on that one because in my opinion, it lacks in all the areas that makes the VF-2ss so awsome looking. Bandai's is looking better so far. The VF-1 EX's are an easy pass for me. Not into Delta at all. But that means more time to save for the classic stuff, so it's all good.
-
No hurry here. Still trying to keep up with this line.
-
Still not biting. One red stripped VF-1J is good enough for me.
-
Apparently the DYRL head has a retractable visor piece for fighter mode. I'm sticking with the TV head anyway, but it's still very cool.
-
Same here. I'm planning to build one myself one day.
-
Paid for my two CF's. Now that Bandai decided to go Dougram this time, I'll try to hunt down those damn M&M's.
-
Tendría que venir con el VF-1a Max, más que con el VF-1j.
-
Same here.
-
Mykombini now says 100% up front for Millia. This morning it was 50%. I had every intention of getting the whole SDF line, including the M&M's, but since I missed on Max and Millia is so expensive, I'm finding more and more difficult to justify them.
-
I just hope it's fun to play with and sturdy enough. I'm tired of High-end crumbling collectibles. I'm all about "user friendly" toys now. It seems to be "magnets free" this time and held together by pegs which gives me oh, so much joy! Freeing's E-X Garland also looks like a fun little toy, BTW.
-
I like the sculpt overall. It amazes me it has hinged fingers! How tall is Slave Maneuver mode supposed to be again?
