    Yeah, we're definitely in a similar boat.
    I watched both seasons of Code Geass when it aired, and while I love the series/story and all the concepts, oddly enough, for a series that has so much mecha, I'm not attached at all to the mechs in the series. I could name you the Lancelot and the Guren, but I wouldn't even be able to really point out the differences between the versions of each. <shrug>

    Lancelot, Guren and Shinkiro are the ones that I'm attached to, mostly because they were in multiple SRW games

    It's Bandai. They'll turn this to the new Strike Gundam.

    I’d like to see them tackle Escaflowne.

    Am I crazy or did Bandai not show preview pics of the Metal Build Albion too?
    Not drawings but actual prototype pics.

    I agree, very stylized and pointy, I'm interested to see the front of the unit.

    I'm with you guys, Code Geass is in my top 5 anime of all time, but I think what kills the mecha designs are the wheels on the feet.
    The only two truly memorable designs are the Guren variants which I think this MB Dragon Scale captures a little bit of all the variants in one, and the Lancelot Albion, and I think I would be in for these two MB's though, as long as they are in the $150 ish range.
    I would probably also support Colonel Tohdoh's Zangetsu, and 4 Gekka's for the 4 holy swords to squad up with Kiseki no Tohdoh.
    LOL let's hope not, and hope that Bandai realizes that there isn't a giant market for Code Geass, but we all know Bandai loves to P Bandai Option parts.

    I don’t remember a single thing about Code Geass from a story/plot point of view and I’m still going to buy the toy :p . The only thing that comes to mind when I think of Code Geass is Colors by Flow and to be honest that’s all that really matters in the end because that song is a banger!

    Y'all need to revisit Code Geass, both seasons. It's a wild ride and still wins my award for most entertaining anime past and present.

    Looks like the picture is a year old.
    Hopefully there are updates to the design, and Bandai just didn't sit on their Dragon Scale line for a whole year.

    The only thing I remember about Code Geass is I really liked it when I watched it back in the day. Have been meaning to rewatch but haven’t had time to watch new things and other things I want to rewatch. I like the designs but I think I’ve come up with enough excuses not to get it.

    Code Geass is great. I appreciate the new remix movies and the "sequel" movie. The ova was pretty good, even though I didn't he like the cg mech designs.

    Also, it had multiple great opening songs, not just colors

    Code Geass was great, but I was more focus on scheming and plot than mecha battles lol.

    Quick question.... Did anyone else order the justice MB from e-knight media? If you did, how was your experience?
