Poll: MPC Alphas

Godzilla · August 27, 2004

Since everybody has had some issues with the MPC Scott Alpha, I wondering you will continue to get the MPC line.

Majestic · August 27, 2004

Jiminy Cripes in a Canoe, them's a lot of choices! Maybe it could have just been "yes" or "no"?

You forgot:

"Yes, I don't not plan to not buy the next one, but perhaps won't not buy another one maybe."

Drad · August 27, 2004

Also: "I'll buy them if they improve. If I'm spending $80, I'd like the product to justify the price."

EXO · August 27, 2004

I voted for the first one. I actually do love them. Maybe soemone will make better arms and we can all replace them. That's the only part I hate.

niomosy · August 27, 2004

I haven't received my first yet. I'll likely pick up the others. Part of the reason is that I'm hoping that a Beta will come out. If not, it wouldn't kill me but I'd be a bit bummed.

Mechafan · August 27, 2004

The only reason I will keep buying more if the Beta is comming out. With the VF-1 MPC's I got them because I knew that the Super Armor would fit all of them when they were released. Then the issues came with the Super Armors. :angry:

I hope they make a Beta even if it is only a half way decent one.

Jawjaw · August 27, 2004

I want all of them but it might take a while before I can afford it. I just hope there are plenty of MIB floating on ebay for a decent price a year or so from now. I can't understand why some of the VF-1 MPC's are going for twice retail.

bandit29 · August 28, 2004

No. One is enough for me. But I originally only planned on buying Scott's anyway...and now I wish I hadn't...ugh <_<

eriku · August 28, 2004

I don't think the choices cover the full range of reasons why someone would or would not buy more.

For example, I only ever intended to buy Scott's Alpha, just like I only ever intended to buy Roy's VF-1S 1/48. So the reason I'm not going to be buying any more Alphas is because I already have the one I want.

As for the Beta, I would consider it, but given the fact that I think it's one of the most hideous looking mechas ever designed, it would most likely take a two month period of me being bored and having too much money to spend in order for me to end up with one.

The next MPC I'll definately be buying is Scott's Cyclone. Unless of course Toynami has run themselves into the ground before it's released...

Weaseldancer · August 28, 2004

I'll probably get all of them. I have 2 of the first one and haven't had problems with any of them.

myk · August 28, 2004

If you're going to buy just one, then why not make it the Shadow? If they stay true (LOL) to the Robotech universe, shouldn't the SF-7 have slightly different wing and body designs, not to mention that cool and dark color scheme?

Damaramu · August 28, 2004

I'll buy one when the price goes down......way down.

<----cheap bastard :lol:

Myriad · August 28, 2004

Yes, the Dark Legioss is different. Are people buying this toy because it is a Robotech toy, a Mospeada toy, or because they just like to buy stuff?

eugimon · August 28, 2004

if the quality improves, I may get more than just one more, but if things go the way they are, I'll probably just get lancer's and be done with the line.

too much of a gamble right now...

Kin · August 28, 2004

I'm fan of the series but my opinion is that toynami doesn't make their legioss worth it.

GobotFool · August 29, 2004

The leigoss is a okay toy. As long as the QC doesn't get worse I may get more. I will most likely get a Shadow.

Godzilla · August 29, 2004

Hmmm I thought more ppl will not get the rest.

Sam · August 29, 2004

I cant decide at the moment what I will do. :blink:

I really want a Beta, and like with the SOTA toys Street fighter series, I have convinced myself the only way I am going to get most of my favourite characters is if I buy ALL the characters when they come out. :blink: B))

My initial reaction to the alpha of "damn, why is it so damn breakable and cheap" is now replaced with, " well, it does look pretty good, and it does transform fairly well...shucks i cant hate you, lets play"

Guess if price does come down *$150AUD is a bit much to justify* I will keep going with the series. But they had better do something bout the quality of material

TOYNAMI, please stop wasting money on the box!

Put it towards the quality of plastics and toy!

my 2 cents

Yeah. The only thing I can not forgive is the crap plastic that they used. Most other small errors I can over look.

SDFcommander · August 29, 2004

I'm going to get the others. I voted for the first. I had no major problems with my Alpha and I like this little guy. The only problem was a lose right arm. It was nothing some well placed super glue and some constant motion could not fix.

The cool thing is that Toynami recognized the QC issues and was willing to exchange it for a new one, but I decided not to since I already put so much work into it.

As long as I know that the QC is improving and IF I get a defective on I can exchange it, I have no problems with my Alpha.

I missed out on these Alphas years ago so I'm pretty happy with what I'm getting now. Having a Shadow Alpha would be AWESOME and having the Betas would be a very nice bonus

BoBe-Patt · August 29, 2004

yeah, well once you buy one, you must have the rest to complete the set!! I'm still trying to complete the toynami MPC VF-1 set! :lol:

Druna Skass · August 29, 2004

If there is better quality, and I can find one for $50, then I'd pick one up.

Uxi · August 29, 2004

I knew to skip this one. I'm gonna wait for the 2nd or 3rd down the line. If I can get a Scott/Stig later for cheap I'll do that. More likely than not to get a Shadow.

VF-1Guy · August 30, 2004

I'm very happy with my Alpha and plan to pick up a Shadow Alpha to keep it company.

Godzilla · August 30, 2004

I wonder hw many of you bought the Scott Alpha MPC?
