    You're right. I saw the encircled R and was thinking if it was trademarked it would have TM by the name instead.

    Still my point stands.

    The R with a circle and the tm are both trademarks, but one is registered with the government while one is not.

    Then again,these classic super robots are what the origins of Machine Robo is all about since Popy created the toys of Combattler V and the Robot Romance trilogy along with Raideen,Mazinger Z and what not.

    Still the idea of them pushing Machine Robo away is already irritating at this point.

    I've checked the Tamashii Nations 2019 video:
    to see if the news of Bandai's 2019 Machine Robo is under effect. Alas...no news as we speak. -_-

    Still,look forward to something even better for your Machine Robo craziness: [​IMG]

    That's right. If you don't have Baikanfu from the previous releases,Super Minipla has finally given us photos of this bad boy.

    I get that toy prices are going up, and I'm mostly fine with it, but I have to say the Super Mini-Pla series' pricing is getting a tad crazy.

    That one had me stumped for a bit! The spot where it goes seemed obvious to me, but I was so committed to putting the gun in upside down, that for the first several times I transformed it, I couldn't figure out why there was no place to store the gun when he was a train. :lol

    Did Tough Trailer ever come out. I remember seeing Thew’s review of it ages ago. Just wondering if I missed it as I’ve not really been keeping up too date.

    Nope. We’re still waiting on him and Super Car Robo, Blue Jet and a few others we’ve seen prototypes of over a year ago.

    Okay cool. I’ll have too remember too keep an eye out for him. I got him as a present from some weird import shop as a kid. I don’t remember a Gobots version but I only really had the Cessna and Orange dump truck dude. Loved Tough Trailer though.

    The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world Action Toys still exists.

    In case anyone wants it/missed it, BBTS has the DX Bike Robo with the bonus face in stock for $90.00 (and a mini figure... does anyone know what that is?).
