    I was hoping to see an update or pics on the Blowsuperior but looks like the delays are real.

    I just hope the Bartley-type is in the works.

    I have the CM Brave 1/18 Mospeada as well as 1/12 Sentinels Mospeada. Plus several of the bikes from the Matchbox Robotech.

    i still have mine somewhere, probably in a box in a bin in a stack...

    but I do remember eagerly snatching one of those Cy-Kill's off the shelves at a KB and the kid next to me said in a mocking tone "You LIKE Gobots?" not realizing what it really was...I had to get the Legioss (Alpha) from a friend of my brother and painted both up to their real color schemes...

    I did! I asked him if he knew Robotech Cyclone and pointed at it and said "This is that!"

    Yeah back then when I saw that model kit, I was like "That's NOT Cy-Kill? What kinda KO crap is that??? Then when I looked closer, I was like...WTH?" :lol  I think even the Legioss was called Leader 1?

    Looks like a lot of fun, I'm surprised they pulled off an opening cockpit hatch in Armo Soldier mode. None of the previous toys have that.

    Alright, we are both going in. If the mold is good....I'm getting the rest of the team.

    Tonight is when preorders go up. It's already up on hobby search.

    The opening cockpit in armo solider is just HOT STUFF. Thank goodness they painted the landing gear unlike CMS and Evo toys. I have to wonder if the articulated pilot will remain the unfinished looking color to save costs or we will see an updated painted figure later?

    I think it'll remain looking unfinished, those pics pretty much look finalized to me

    Tonight? I'm keeping my eyes open on AJ and NY. I'm so in for them all it's not even funny. Looks excellent so far!

    Yeah hopefully AJ will have preorders up that will ship to the US :lol  I noticed some of their most recent ones that I wanted didn't. But later they did?

    I have a lot of Sentinel items preordered from AJ including Blowsuperior, Iron Giant and Nausicaa Ohmu. I think they are all cheaper from AJ with shipping compared to NY but they are both pretty close and definitely the lowest prices on Sentinel products I can find.

    I'd go AJ, but getting replacement parts or doing returns with them is a hassle. :( 


    I'm starting to wonder if it was a cost cutting measure or an homage to the original Gakken?

    Yeah, I usually order from AJ as soon as available to secure the order and have easy cancel if I need to. Then I check NY and start calculating and comparing prices.
