Not likely, they've announced the order already, no Shinobu in there. That doesn't mean we'll never see one, I would just be very surprised if they decided to squeeze her in since it wouldn't work with the Toynami volumes very well.

Ah, I got you Troyness. Hey, if anyone wants a good panic, here are some other items to think about: 1) Lack of news on Bandai's VF100 line. Michael is due out in a few weeks... but? 2) Lack of news on Bandai's VF100 VF-19Kai. 3) Lack of news on Bandai's DX Quarter. 4) Lack of news on Bandai's DX Alto figure. 5) Lack of news on Yamato's Phalanx Destroid Alright, I'm sure there are more. It seems like Yamato has been the only company ramping up the PR machine. There should be more news as more hobby shows happen.

Is this what you're talking about Troyness?

Now that's defintiely not something you normally see.

I find it highly unlikely that Beagle is having problems, they just showed Houquet a little while ago. Ray is just a reworked Stick, I suspect it will hit the shelves with little hooplah... I would expect Houquet to make more of a splash as we get closer to her release. Also, it's the dead season for toys, this time of year always tends to be quiet.

Seriously, you can never judge the cockpits of any toy until you see the final product. In just about every single prototype the canopies start as painted blue plastic from Toynami's MPCs, Toynami's 1/100s, Bandai's DX line, Bandai's 1/100s, etc etc. And, while we're talking about constants of prototypes, you can never tell the amount of tampo printing or the final paint scheme either. These are all things that should not be complained about until you see the picture of the toy someone just purchased or a magazine article that specifically states "this is the final product."

I spoke to Overdrive yesterday, they said they were confused how other shops were taking orders on the toy when they had been specifically told by Yamato NOT to take orders yet as Yamato was still figuring things out (including the paint scheme on one of the 19s). I think it's likely that Overdrive waited and then got their MSRP after most other online retailers simply assumed the MSRP would be similar to previous ones. In this case, it will probably burn Overdrive as I find it highly unlikely other retailers are going to hike their MSRP now.

I'm actually back at the moment, leaving again in another few days. I'm pretty sure Overdrive just did a photo shoot at a Beagle event, I haven't heard word from them about actually handling one yet.

VF = Veritech Fighter right? I kid.. I kid

The problem with your theory is that 1/60 is the DX scale also. The second problem with your theory is that Yamato is only showing one Mac7 toy and it's from a subset of Mac7. The third problem is that the GNU series isn't made to a particular scale (hence the VF-11 being the same size as the YF-19 and YF-21).

I wonder why there's no Mac+ listed... maybe because there was only three valks and a ghost to choose from? EDIT - Let's play GUESS THAT CHASE! My guess? VB-6 FTW!

Well, while we all wait for Phalanx news I've updated my Weathering Destroid post to include the defender: Check out more pics here.

Post some pics if you can

that's not really how prices tend to work... if an item sucks and no one buys it then prices go down.

LOL, I had one eyebrow up on that one for a bit too. I ended up wiggling it out with a toothpick.

Do me a favor and PM me that request so I don't have to try to hunt this down later in case it gets buried by a couple pages. I think I can make all of those things happen pretty easily.

It's a smart move as it sounds like the fighter modes are always the most desired gashapons. I'll probably grab a set and review them provided they're not as pricey as the Yamato series.

I started working on my review last night but I probably won't post it until next week. I want to take comparison shots with the other Mac Plus toys and also the original 1/72 toy so it's going to take a while. Plus I really want to put it through its paces before I write a blurb on it.

Has there been any word on the Japanese Mospeada book that was in the works being cancelled? Is it officially "on hiatus." The sad truth, it seems to me, is that if there wasn't enough interest to get a Mospeada book off the ground in Japan than the chances are awfully slim of one being successful. I'm a huge Mospeada fan, I definitely would buy one, but I realize that I am in a very tiny minority.

It sounds like you don't know the players or the parts but are quick to pass judgment.

Let's not crap on Danth here too much. Roger goes out of his way to be an ass to people and sometimes he's bound to have it come back around to him. I'm not talking in regard to what happened with his images but rather in regard to the tone that some people use when responding to him. If Danth came off like an ass to Roger than oopty friggin' do... I'm guaranteeing we can find plenty of posts where Roger was a total ass to lots of people. For that matter, if Roger was upfront and friendly in the beginning there's a good chance we wouldn't have got to a situation where "stolen" images were being posted on the Interwebs. Hopefully we all get a book of additional Mospeada line art at some point... and hopefully everyone so keen on the fate of these pics purchases said book.

I'm gonna guess that Bandai issued the corrected pieces to the super pack set.

Let's just hope that book in Japan eventually makes it out.

Isn't Roger banned or suspended?
