Hikaru's VF-1S Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 hiya, so i notice now on robotech.com that their selling the MH cyclones and the aoshima legioss fighters. MH Cyclones - 59.99 each http://www.robotech.com/store/viewcategory.php?id=9 Aoshima legioss - 69.99 each http://www.robotech.com/store/viewcategory.php?id=2 well... there goes my hopes for the prices to be cheaper for US distribution =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Don't be discouraged yet, Robotech.com always sells the MPCs at MSRP and then, when you check eBay a month or two later you can usually find them at deep discounts. It might be the same with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaru's VF-1S Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 im mostly interested in finding MH cyclones for a cheaper price =P maybe i should just concentrate on CM legioss/tread with my money lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspr Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) If youre in SoCal, the booth #730 at Frank n Sons had the MH RA's at $100 for 2. They had 1 pair displayed but I'm not sure if that indicated the number left for sale. Edited to add more info. Thanks chowyunskinny.

chowyunskinny Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) If youre in SoCal, the booth at #730 had the MH RA's at $100 for 2. Are you referring to Frank and Sons when you say "the booth at #730"? otherwise, I have no idea what you're talking about or is "the booth at #730" the name of some new fancy toy boutique store? new online retailer maybe?

EXO Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 it's the store that has all the 1/6 scale figures. ADD: Echobase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechfactory.com Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I recently purchased the Mega house Rand and Scot (robotech names). I must say the toy's are great in aperance,color and sculpt in armor mode is fantastic, I will say that the tires in bike mode leave a little bit to be desired. I have a nerological problem that renders my abilty to use my hands for fine motor skills and dextarity very dificult, even so the transformations still take a little longer than I expected. That being said this is a great toy and a great representatnion of the ride armors. Beacause of my medical problems they will stay prety much on display, but no one should sell this toy short it is a great representation of the ride armors, no they are not perfect, but they are a 3 dimensional representation of what is basicaly a two dimensional object, and a very well done representatnion at that. I can't wait to see the Lancer cycone. If there were anything I would change it would be the scale,but that is probably a personal choice due to my disability.

misterryno Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 If there were anything I would change it would be the scale Jon from The Mechfactory Thanks for the input mate. And on the last part...you DEFINETLY are not the only one who would change the scale. I am all about a larger figure...that is why I love the 1/8 Gakken so much...it's HUGE!

Scream Man Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 yeah id be cool with a bigger figure as well. Bring on the beagle and maybe toynami if its still happening coz that whole ting is confusing and this is a big sentence so bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Managed to find a Gakken 1/8 yesterday for 5000yen. I didn't realise how similar the Gakken and CM were. It's an amazing piece for a 20 plus year old toy. I much prefer this to the MH. One thing though.....the instructions are all in English. And, as far as I read, nigh on perfect English at that. That shocked me more than the quality of the toy. BTW, saw a few pics of the Beagle in that new magazine "Super Robot". It has the HBT canisters but is that IT for accessories? I thought it would come with the storage boxes for the bike, a couple of smaller things etc. Nice to see that it can kneel. But the feet look even tiiiiinier when it's wearing the armor.

Mechfactory.com Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You know the more I look at the Mega House on my desk the more I like it. I have the 1/8 Gaken and while the scale is fantastic, the detail on the Mega House just can not be dennied. I will say we defenetly need an additional decal sheet for the Rand, standing next to the Scott without any markings on him he just looks... unfinished.

misterryno Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 BTW, does anyone remember where the pics of that customized Gakken 1/8 are on these boards? Can't find them anywhere. Thanks. I did a search and came up empty handed . I'd like to see these pics to. I found a topic titled "mospeada collection" and Jenius had posted a link in that topic for a "custom cyclone" and when I clicked it I got the 404 error that I hate so much. ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIND THESE PICS?!? Or can you just post them in here or the "strike a pose mospeada version" please. THANKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS for posting those! I would like to shake the hand of the one who created that. I am hoping the Toynami MPC Cyclones will be somewhere close to that cool...without falling apart. EDIT----> I think my tope 2 favs of that custom are the added extensions to the hip armor so that they connect to the armor and not the rider (I hate that about the Gakken) and the added POA (points of articulation).

Alex Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Now. Do I attempt a similar custom on my own freshly acquired Gakken? Think I'll only attempt a paint job. But that custom looks so good. GAH. BTW, Just click the back button next to the MAIN button at the top and you'll be able to see the very beginning of his custom. OH....it doesn't actually show all that much really.
