jenius Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 seriously, once you get over the initial irks of the Alpha it can really grow on you. I hated my first Scott... now I have three of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) I recently got my Robotech Store order for Rook. I was abit surprised to get the LE cell. I thought there was only 3000 produced for each release. Mine was no. 04667. RT.com doesn't get the first ones off boat or anything, Twin Moons and Valk Exchange for example often get into Toynami to pick up their stock sooner than RT.com. Cyc Didn't Jesse get the 00001 Blue Alpha or something? Has this been discussed? The green Alpha only as one "ear" sensor. I believe the Gakken has it on both sides. I just realized that I don't have the right side of the Alpha on any of my Mospeada lineart. Edited April 15, 2005 by >EXO< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myersjessee Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 No super secret...I did...through some AWESOME fluke get #1!!!! (just of Scotts though....and only listed as #1 on the Alpha and the book box...the outside white box has number 467 I think. I'm guessing that means some executive or bigwig has a nice sealed white box that says #1 that has number 467 inside!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Sakuracon had 1 booth carrying Vol 1 and 2 of the Alphas. Two ppl said 24 bucks, but they weren't sure. I to ld them if they were 24 bucks each I'd take 'em. So they asked their boss who said "No, 24 dollars is our cost, retail for 68, here for 80" I told 'em to get bent.

Majestic Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Any word on when the Shadow is to be released? I'm curious as well, as I have it up for preorder. The rumor is a May release. My guess is middle to end of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osean Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well, whenever its released I hope the delay has something to do with improving their qc problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 If I had to guess, I'd say the Shadow is lingering longer only because the green one is selling poorly. They're probably just givin' it some time to get sucked up. Then again, Gamestop shows the greenie on backorder so maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I sincerely doubt they're doing any last minute tweaks that would affect either QC or the toy itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could of done some tweaking or at least improve on the paint job at the beginning of the shadow production or before. I can only hope that is the reason.

Scream Man Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 i thought the up turned nose was a fault in min1 Im kinda glad to know its kinda supposed to be that way. though jenius had one that had a decent nose... I tried pushing down like u said, but it doesnt do anything. Its so firmly in place i figure its supposed to be like that. Im sure i have itr transformed right....at least I think im sure. Incidentally, am i the only one whos rear wheels arenr in a straight line? They curve inwards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed.Coli Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 The rear wheels will actually lock into position; pull them all the way out until you hear an audible click (you're not breaking it, really). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
