    That makes me question the premium price which, among other reasons, is supposed to be due to it being limited to only 500

    Ordered it online. Toynami screwed up and didn't bring them to SDCC, so instead posted a link on FB to order it... defeating the point of it being an SDCC exclusive.
  3. RavenHawk started following Consolidated Megazone 23 Toy/Model Thread for 2017-2018 , Mospeada , 3rd party labels for Sentinel Mospeda Riobots? and 4 others

    I ordered it. Too many positive childhood memories wrapped up in this type of thing to let the negativity weigh in. I think it will look fun displayed.

    Man, I really hope the pricing on this isn't something idiotic... Also interesting to see Josh Nizzi's name pop up. I think he did some of the Bayverse Trasformers designs, like the motorcycle triplets?

    As long as it isn't written by Brandon Easton this time. Not a fan of his work. Also, who's that WRAITH there?

    These look like they might actually be enjoyable, in a "play with toys, don't just look at them" way, and I'm there for it.

    I've never seen this before. Can you provide us illiterate-in-Japanese folks some backstory on what this is? It looks fun.

    Just got my Moshow (I let it sit in my pile of loot on BBTS for a bit while waiting for some other ride armor-type toys to release), and I have to say that I am really impressed. Sure, I wish it was less of a parts-former, but it's got some great heft and seems solidly built. It has even survived a small fall (dog pumping into table it was on) where my Sentinels (love them) have broken easily (cat knocking one off of a pretty low shelf). Side note: I've lost more MOSPEADA toys to cats over the last couple of decades than I care to remember. Really my only gripe is those 4 tiny little round plastic pins while so much else is metal.

    It very much looks to me like the Loyal Subjects stuff is going to be new/updated figures, but like the vehicles have very, very minor changes (like a silver piece on Condor and some accessories that weren't there before, but otherwise the exact same vehicle, possibly re-using old molds are making new ones from scans and re-scalings of the physical products).

    Really excited for these. It's funny, when I first saw MZ23 two decades ago, I wasn't that into this mech. Since then... yeah, I've become a big fan, have custom made some of my own stands-ins for my collection, but am really looking forward to the real thing.

    Agree here, especially on the Omnibots. Downshift has been a favorite since I was a kid, and I played with him both as a Transformer and, when not caring about scale, as a MASK toy. I'm not a fan of XTransbots, but this was a no-brainer for me. On the general topic, I'm a big believer in NOT infringing on someone else's IP, big or small. That said, if there is zero activity on it by the owner, sometimes us collectors really want that itch scratched... As long as I know it isn't causing the IP owner any damage.

    Overall, it depends on what you're going for. In my opinion: - Want one to display, toon accurate? Beagle. - Want the full set, toon accurate? CMs. - Want full set, and open to/actually like updated designs? Sentinel. - Want toon accurate partsformer? Megahouse. - Want updated design partsformer, and into just slapping a ton of weapons onto a figure, physics-be-damned? Moshow Toys. - Want to actually play with it, and have it only be in scale with JoyToy? B2Five. - Want to play with it, but not have any fun doing so, and you're a completist? SMALL '80s Henshin Robo. - Want it to not be much fun? Matchbox. - Want to make me jealous? BIG '80s "Perfect Mounting Real Change" Henshin Robo

    I'm fearful that, as the guest of honor, there might not be opportunities to actually meet him or get anything signed. Does anyone had prior experiences with this show and this level of guest?

    Were you uncomfortable with BBTS? I know they have a delay compared to others, but they gave me some absolutely amazing customer service when I had an issue a few years back, and very much earned my business... except for when I find an item elsewhere for substantially less money.
  16. RavenHawk
    Yeah, I was keeping quiet, but definitely remembered that. FWIW, my BGC figs are the only Yamoto items that I legit play with here and there, and not just have as display pieces.
