Of course... why would you?

Mospeada is back, right? SAY IT AGAIN!!

You know - you're right. I need to say it again.

But let me run by that disclaimer I've been working on and see if its enough for you.

I don't want you to be thrown into an emotional free-fall ever again on account of me.

Stay tuned...

Okay, I see the problem here.

The problem is, I live (in 2013) in Tokyo, and no one here knows what Mospeada is. I haven't seen any new Mospeada items arrive since the CM versions came out. Although I like Mospeada, and I think its mecha and character designs were (and are) amazing, it was never popular in Japan.

Heck, it was even cancelled before its proposed 39 episodes had finished.

So, to me, living in something called "reality," for it to be "B A C K," it'd have to "A R R I V E" in the first place.

That said, I really enjoy the show. It's a lot of fun. And it certainly had enough fans back in the day to prompt the creation of Love, Live, Alive... but I don't think it's well-remembered these days.

Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, please post a picture of your recent Blowsperior, and I'll apologize and back off.

Well, a toy company was going to produce a new Mospeada toy, and they were going to show it at Winter Wonderfest, but then they decided not to. Soooooooooo, maybe it's back... maybe it's not. I think the announcement got bumped to Summer Wonderfest but that might be wishful thinking. Asking someone to post a picture of this is a bit demanding.

To be perfectly frank, it's getting pretty grating when members here post vague information about future merchandise. It's great that you know someone or know someone who knows someone who knows something and are just trying to keep the love alive. However, this kind of "maybe maybe not" schtick isn't getting us anywhere that idle speculation doesn't already.

I want just the facts. I can read Cybergundam for toy teasers.

If you just want what you want you shouldn't be on the internet, most of all a toy forum.

To be fair, the "i know a secret but i can't tell you" shtick is irritating even back on the playground during elementary school years. IMO if you know something that you can't say then don't mention it. Just my opinion. Not taking any sides.

That's a sentiment I can certainly appreciate but there's a difference in context, things just didn't quite work out right this time around. What happens with this sort of stuff is that people start talking before announcements get made. They say things like "Hey, we're hoping to make a Mospeada-related announcement soon" to try to get a little attention so there's an audience when they do make the announcement. The buzzing that was happening here was with the understanding that an announcement was forthcoming. Then the announcement didn't happen. It not happening is all the more reason why it was good no one just said "Hey, company X is going to make toy A." What's the status of the project now? I have no idea but what you've gained from all this chatter is that a company was, at the very least, very interested in making a Mospeada product.

Then there was the first time around. I'm going to guess you are referring to the same source that also aloud your blog to announce that a Gosu was going to be produced years back, then they just went silent and never spoke of it again. It's best just to wait for the official announcement then chime in with what you knew about the product. Just my two cents based on bad experience.

What's the point of the secrecy? If it's a Wonderfest exclusive it's not like there's going to be a heap of competition from rival sculptors... Is it?

The Gosu didn't happen, and that's a shame. But it was interesting to know about, so I don't see the harm.

And I guess I'd rather know that there is the potential for an expensive kit coming up, rather than find out too late to secure one or put the funds aside.

Oh dear, oh dear... Let it go, guys... :rolleyes::pB))

What they said...

You guys are not gonna implement a new rule so I don't see the point of debating it. Personally I found the debate whether or not Mospeada is back annoying but I didn't say anything because it's just a couple of guys ribbing each other.

Suck it up and move on. Skip posts you don't like.

Hey you got in on the fun too! Although admittedly you got more style points for your delivery.

C'mon people, no harm no foul. If you don't like being teased with news, just adopt a "I'll believe it when I see it" mentality.

GOSU!!!!!

By the way, I thought I didn't announce a Gosu was on the way but rather I polled people for interest. I'm not sure how helpful it was and I think the post got deleted a long time ago :(

I didn't put up my comment for the sake of fun, it was more of a jab to somebody off the MW boards. I also waited till 5 hours prior to the event to post anything and not dropping hints three months prior; especially for something as non-existent in Japan these days, which Mospeada is.

You don't remember writing: "Do you want enemy mecha??? I have a scoop for you".

Again; just saying the best thing to do is just not say anything unless it's a for sure thing.

2008? I was way off (when I looked for it). Still, I was asked to post about that stuff so I don't see what the problem is. I also posted that Beagle was dead and some people are still waiting for an "official notice." I didn't post any specifics, I said "I heard a company is going to make a Mospeada announcement at Wonderfest." It's not like I threw up a company name or something. I was wrong, can anyone really be that upset by that?

Edit - Okay, that's definitely enough back and forth on this. If people dont' want to hear me teasing information, please ignore me. Easy peasy.

I for one prefer teasing to nothing at all. Makes me have something to look forward too. Back when Wonderfest was on, I joked about the whole thing but I did have a very good time flexing my Japanese google-fu trying to find something.


And if it ends up being vapourware, who gives a $hit, money saved for other stuff. At least we’ve had Mospeada toys (where is my hover tank and space chopper??) and it is not like we “need” expensive plastic to be happy .


All I’m saying is “thanks” to all you people that keep this alive with your little teases. It is good fun in a time where people just expect the whole thing right of the bat with no foreplay to get the blood pumping first (yes the double meaning is on purpose, I’m tired of the over abundance of casting couch “lets get down to business you peace of meat” porn).

Thanks to Gakken85 for fanning the spark for the Alphas once again. I even pulled my Alpha out of the box it was hiding in.

My Alpha has Mars Base stickers, while the new (new to me) one has Jupiter Base ones. Did these initially have 2 sets of stickers?
