    Takara has been making kits since forever. I kow they did Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru kits way back in the 90s not sure about earlier. Is the Grand Convoy set really that bad?

    It's okay when judged while pretending to be ignorant of companies like Bandai or Kotobukiya existing. It's a partformer without any useful articulation (it's knees bend, but the upper leg can't bend and stay in place), it doesn't have rolling wheels, there are gates put in places that leave horrible scars on the parts when trimmed, no matter how carefully you do it (especially chrome parts), the stickers don't stay in place...

    If you've never built a kit from a company like Bandai or Kotobukiya, sure, it's good. I'd really compare it more to the candy toy kits, even though it's not one. I'm a convoy/optimus collector though, so I like it despite it's problems.

    Sounds like their earlier kits. I'd have thought they'd have learned by now :( .

    I just wanted to point out, that this is true for cons in Japan. This is the only time(at major conventions) in japan you can sell a self-created work of otherwise copyrighted or trademarked work that's not your own original property. That's why it's legal. Not because any company has granted it for solely one day. So copyright approved is a slight misnomer, yet still accurate. I do really want to see what that arcee looks like though.

    That would make a great display piece next to Fort/Grand/Brave Max.

    The little King looks pretty great, but why would I ever need one? Unless you're a completionist and need every scaled version of a character available, I don't see the point.

    But I totally see the reason for the steep pricing, seeing as they're going to sell about 9 of these. But those 9 guys will probably adore their little King like there's no tomorrow, as they should.

    How does one order a wst predaking kit? I don't live in Japan and won't be attending the wonder festival. Anybody know of any international reseller sites?

    I remember that, wasn't it a headmaster or something? Whatever it was, it looked pretty nice, and really cartoon accurate.
