    Value depends on each person individually. I'm still, permanently, kicking myself for one toy/collectible from 15 years ago that I passed on because the price was more than it was worth... but now I'd gladly pay that price. That said, I paid the original asking price on Toynami's site, which was the upper end of what it's worth, in my opinion (with shipping and tax, a little under double the price of the original green one). To me, that was still worth it. $600+, though? I don't think it's worth that.

    For anyone interested in the Moshow SDCC Exclusive Rick Hunter Cyclone (MOSPEADA), here are some comparison pics to the original (since I didn't see anyone else highlighting the color differences or the stickers), as well as a comparison to the only other figure that really compares:

    For those who have ordered the Pose+ Legioss (or have been looking into doing so), any rundown of options to purchase from? BBTS is my go-to, even if it takes them a while to get stuff in, because they gave me amazing customer service years back and basically won my business going forward. That said, they look to be about $100+ more than some smaller sellers that I've never heard of before. Does anyone have a sense of, among reputable sellers, where the best deals are, including shipping and anticipated tariffs to the US? Thanks.

    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.

    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.
  11. RavenHawk
    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
