    Yes! Now all that's left for me are the Gyan and Zeong! If we get any more such as Big Zam or Emeth...its a bonus for me...tbh I'm hoping for a Big Zam.

    I was a bit disappointed that Char's Gelgoog didn't have battle damaged parts but maybe if such parts get made, it will be with an elmeth.

    I still have a little hope that the big zam that was shown in the first a.n.i m.e. reveal event will be produced. It's the Mobile armor from the first Gundam series that I want most.

    Too expensive to get into these but man oh man the line I think will be outstanding.

    Oh yeah, I would love to see the Elmeth too! If I remembered correctly, the MSIA version came with damaged parts for Char's Gelgoog! It had sound effects and the bits/funnels too!

    Of course, if given the choice I would see the Big Zam...IMO its more iconic that the Elmeth.

    Are those really Robot Spirits? The work on them looks outstanding!

    Didn't get to TRU today, but I went ahead and cancelled my amzn order.

    Prolly just wait for a some (fire) sale on 'em.


    They aren't Robot Spirits at all.

    Think CowboyFromHell posted in the wrong thread...

    I know there's a thread for PR... but this really belongs here.

    I know I want the models, but I'd like to see a Gipsy Danger RD

    Thanks for the clarification guys! The design and the figure looks too high end to be a Robot Spirits figure! That's why I was taken off guard!

    Yeah, I'm tempted by the models but thanks to my work schedule...I don't have the time or patience to go into long builds...the most I've built were the Dragonball ones...they're quick (under 2 hours).

    No problem! I've posted in the wrong thread before! :)

    I really like the box art we've been getting recently.

    Looking back at the last tamashii nations I'm still wanting an answer on how the titans atmosphere re-entry armor will be released and if an aeug version is coming or not. And I'm still expecting that gn blaster II to make an appearance at sometime since it was shown off when they first announced the seven sword and xn raiser set. More than likely it will be in an upcoming agp release.

    Came into some of the new Pacific Rim Robot Damashiis I'm looking to offload. They've all been opened and the boxes are rough on some. I have Titan Redeemer, Bracer Phoenix, Saber Athena & Obsidian Fury. PM me if interested.

    Cancelled my preorder for the seven sword parts and xn raiser set at bbts. Snagged one off of mandarake for about forty bucks cheaper.

    Hey, are the Uprising Kaiju considered part of the same toyline or are those different? I see it called Sofvi spirits but I don't know what that means exactly? Is it the first in the line? I'm really hoping at some point Bandai does the other Kaiju. I love the articulation of the Pacific Rim bots compared to NECA toys but I need more monsters for them to punch.

    They're different.

    Insofar as I can tell, Sofvi Spirits is a portmanteau of Robot Spirits and Softubi, which are articulated action figures and near static vinyl toys respectively. The combination name alludes to the higher level of detail on the Kaiju verses your average soft vinyl, but is otherwise a barely articulated but designed to be display alongside the RDs.

    Got the Minelayer Zaku, too, first P-Bandai ever. Awesome figure, just loving the old school mechs.

    Yeah I need to get around to picking up marine and minelayer. And zaku 1... Maybe two of them. I'm definitely getting two or three fz models when they release because they have my favorite machine gun from the oyw, the mmp-80 w/ grenade launcher. Then I need to pick up a second desert and a second cannon. So many zaku variants, so little time.

    Yeah he is pretty much perfect and just rounds out the Zaku ranks. He isn’t so busy it’s distracting or anything.

    But I have no resolve so....
