    As sqidd says, these 1/48s will scale with the Sentinel legioss and with the older Toynami/Aoshima alpha fighter/legioss, their beta fighter/tread, and the CM's legioss and tread. (The Toynami technically billed itself as 1/55 to match the Masterpiece valkyries but it is definitely closer to 1/48 and not anywhere near 1/55- the Aoshima advertised as 1/48). If the oversize one is built, depending on whether it is the 167mm or 209mm version that is built, they will be 1/29 or 1/23 scale roughly (assuming a 4.8m height- Mospeada scales are difficult at the best of times). While not to scale, the 209mm won't look terribly out of place with the 1/18 CM's or 1/15 Megahouse ride armors. Here's the Megahouse with the old Matchbox ones- the 209mm would be about the same size as the old Matchbox Shocktrooper.

    July 28 is the current deadline. Not sure if the "backers" graphic changes dynamically with each order, but it doesn't seem to have moved since I ordered the other day.

    I'll get them scanned up and loaded!

    Thanks to @jenius I've got a great new edition:

    This is really tempting me to get another cheap HMR 1A and another GBP armor to make a custom.

    LOL- the funny thing is the Palladium 1E game got the *Robotech* names wrong. I don't expect them to come close on the Japanese Mospeada names when they can't even get the RT ones right.
  7. vladykins
    Ha, don't worry- it's why I tend to put both names up. This is even more so to help out the 1E Palladium Robotech folks because they totally got some of the original names wrong (like the Malar being called the enforcer instead of the Gamo). at least they fixed that in the 2E version, but you'll still find pockets of people with the wrong names due to the 1E game. So it reduces confusion to pop up both correct names.

    As @Podtastic said, preorders are now open. Here's the direct link: https://www.meptoys.com/pre-orders

    I think it is either or on the two "oversized" ones. So the options will be: 1/48 scale $50 Oversized $150 (though MEP notes if it only makes enough POs for the 167mm one that he'll likely drop the overall price/refund any PO cash in so far). There is no option for getting both a 167mm and a 209mm, only the small 1/48 ($50) or the larger ($150).

    Also, looks like the gamo/enforcer and gosu/RCB have designs put in by MEP to Funimation for approval as 1/48s.

    Confirmed from looking at followup discussions that what I posted above appears to be the situation. Two month window to get in to PO, it is number of units POed and not number of backers, and at 800 POs the figure gets larger for the $150, with the only difference at 1000 is the articulated pilot or two non-articulated pilot figures. Note: This is separate from the 1/48 scale ones that are already being built and is only for the "oversize" version.

    With the inclusion of Dog Fight and Space Fold, I’ve now got all the Tsukuda Macross and Mospeada games. It took some patience with these last two but finally got them for decent prices on Yahoo JP. Now to rearrange some of my display stuff to get these last two in.

    I also fixed the bottom graphic to match more to what is said (the smaller current figure doesn't match the text):

    Here's my understanding from looking. For $150: If there are 200 POs, get the smaller shocktrooper- that's it. If there are 400 POs, you get the smaller shocktrooper, a cockpit is built in, and you get two static driver figures (a standing and a sitting). If there are 800 POs, you get the larger shocktrooper, with cockpit, and two (now larger) static driver figure (a standing and a sitting). If there are 1000 POs, you get the larger shocktrooper, with cockpit, and a single articulated pilot figure (no need to have different poses now, because articulated). The picture makes it a bit confusing, but for less than 800 POs, they will only make the smaller version (about the size of the old Matchbox "scout" (which was actually a small trooper, but anyway). At 800 POs or more, the figure will be the size of the old Matchbox shocktrooper.

    I'd watch this show.

    He builds somewhat to order plus a number of extras- no PO madness or anything like Bandai. For example, the 1/100 Breetai from a few years ago is still available on the website. https://www.meptoys.com/product-page/6-zentradi-commander-breetai

    Yeah, I ordered earlier in May, but had them ship DHL in August last year.
  19. vladykins
    Weird, Jungle shipped DHL for me no problem.

    Assuming that will be the same time given MEP's previous statements but no formal announcement yet (though they have a placeholder on the preorders page for it): https://www.meptoys.com/pre-orders

    Looks like MEP is putting up preorders for the Scout/ligaa later this month. $45 I know the Robowreck label will kill some interest, but I'll likely get a couple to put with my Sentinel legioss.

    I'd buy it- off someone's dollar tablre at a flea market. No way I'm paying more than that for those terrible figures. I don't know how anyone can pay those prices, but then I don't understand the appeal of Funko bobbleheads either.

    @sqidd isn't a SD fan; otherwise he'd have them!

    Not really. The post office can deliver stuff cheaper than FedEx or UPS, offers better tracking than UPS does (UPS is so shitty with their tracking that I'll have something sent from California and won't know for sure where it is until I get an "out for delivery" notice). Only reason the USPS had issues has been the budget pressures from requiring them to fund pensions for workers that aren't even born yet. Government operates best when market failures remove the ability for the market to operate properly. Hell, if we left it to the market, most rural areas of the US wouldn't have phone or mail service, let alone the internet. (This sort of talk always brings the economist in me out).
