1st Border Red Devil Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 they need to do southern cross They're never going to do a Hovertank. We've been informed that the mold for the Spartas deteriorated while in storage and is now unusable. Funny how it was the only mold to do so. I tried contacting Playmates over this and their rep informed me that there wasn't anyone left at the company who had been their during the Robotech/Exo-Squad run. So all we have is Harmony Gold's word on the matter. Of course, many of the complaints about doing a Masterpiece Hovertank centered on there not being 'enough diversity of design', which is utter and complete BS. The Spartas, like the VF-1 and Legioss, has a different design for the head due to rank. Then there is the Space Combat Model Conversion seen in Mind Games/BioPsycher as well as an additional Battloid Mode Space Pack (shaped a bit like an Ajax with blades) that is from the animation materials. And because they are SO COOL! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 (edited) I read somewhere a while back that Toynami had acquired the 1/12 variable model molds for the ride armors and I believe it was even mentioned at that time that Cyclones would be the next release. 1st Border Red - that is pure misinformation about the mold. All Matchbox molds were improperly stored and ruined after the Exosquad run of toys and I'm certain I saw someone tell you that on RT.com also. Quit your conspiracy theories. No one's making a Spartas/Hovertank because it's the least popular series amongst fans. Edited June 10, 2005 by jenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGREXX Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 HEHEHE!!!! I spoke to the RT.COM "store" customer service rep and got her to accidentally spill the beans on what the big news was going to be at this years conventions. yes I am sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick baby!!!! She said that her computer showed an upcoming release of two beta fighters. A green one and a shadow version.....for $249.99!!!!!!! The other one was for posable cyclones followed by MPC Cyclones. The cyclones will come in 6 versions. Scott blue, Rand green, Lancer blue, rook red, a sarah grey version and the shadow dancer version from the game. They will sell for $49.99. She also said that there was something about an Invid Overlord toy and a line of Shadow Chronicle toys. No prices listed. Let's hop it's true.

Shmitty Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 $249.99!!!!!!! Thats ludicrisly expensive. How big is it going to be that they "justify" that price. I remember the tread being a good deal bigger than the legioss, but jebus, the 1/55 legioss is hell of tiny. Since the tread is about twice as big, iirc, then it should be about as big as a 1/48 battroid, which is awesome but for 250 wingwangs, that's crazy.

Funny, when I call the RT store at 11pm no one answers.... they must really like you there. I'm glad they're releasing a green and shadow Beta... seeing as they both appear in Mospeada/New Gen for about half a sec. If you're going to lie at least make it plausible and say it's the BLUE and the green Beta. Your prices also seem way funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynx7725 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Excuse me guys, but Kevin posted to keep us in the loop. Let's wait for him -- or other retailers -- to get more news. There is no reason to turn this into a "feed-the-..." thread. I think enough is enough, let's just leave things to develop on their own. So Toynami intends to expand their MPC line. Like that's a big surprise. Let's just see how well they can push it -- or not. As an aside: I refuse to label MGREXX as a troll, even though I've seen some of his threads. Some of our reactions are just as trollish, I can't in good faith label someone as a troll when I could be staring at myself in the mirror.

Truth and I know MGREXX is an easy mark for bashing but lets just cut him outright of any attention (only when he's trolling) becuase we're better than that (not trying to sound like a self righteous nag yet still) and continue with what Kevin posted. Hmm if I were to wager a guess as to what the toy will be; a Cyclone. But with even that in mind its not inconceivable to guess any of the following: Logan Spartan HoverTank (personally I hope its this one) Invid Mecha (Shock Trooper preferred) Zentreadi Mecha(why not, could be a battlepod ) Beta (just as likely as a Cyclone) Shadow Chronicles Mecha (would'nt suprise me at all) We will as usual have to let time tell as things roll on.

All you other bashers can keep displaying your ignorance and immaturity. I understand. As for the rest of you, you need to read and understand what I say. I said that I called E A R L I E R. Hello!!!!!! I called them at 4:00 and that is what she said. Now to clarify things for you challenged individuals: Scott's Cyclone will be blue (lighht blue, as in lighter than regular blue. Others see it as light green.) YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Beta will be a green version and a grey ( dark grey as in shadow) version. As for the price. I would not be surprised since Toynami is charging $79.00 for a veritech that is clearly worth no mre than $49.99. The beta will be almost 3x bigger than the Alpha, so that price point is not beyond the realm of relity. Next time I will try to simplify my intellectually superior posts, it's just that it's hard to go this low. Edited June 10, 2005 by MGREXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
