Looks like VS Minipla 4 and 5 have been solicited. I... do not love that in order to get a pre-order on these, we have to order blind. I'm guessing one of those boxes will contain X-Emperor, and the other... probably more auxiliary mecha? The clear sets are under the SP label.

How many cases do you need? and just of 1-3 or do you want the big truck/plane thing too?

Machine Wars SmokeJumper & Dreadwind the Zord version. Rather fitting for a thief theme.
On that note, double checking those names via google made me realize TLK had a machine Wars Starscream reference in it. Rather explains the entire Megatron junkyard scene with Starscream's head now. It's so very meta "nana na nana, I got your body." Quote:
Could you post pics of the heels/combine port knees also? Definitely want to see more of how it looks in battlemode combined mode too! NVM, looked up several reviews. Tend to agree it's a little overpriced. Finding it at 35USD seems more about what it feels worth, though that still feels a little steep. I do kind of hope they do a v2 version that includes the legs and arms for battle mode. Then it might feel a bit more towards 50 USD worth it. Though Brachio/Titanus does come really close to making up for what the others lack. TBH, really wish they'd do a normal minipla split version. It has so much parts forming that except for the pre-painted and separate color plastics, I'm not feeling the super in super minipla. It feels like it has less than normal Minipla. The GekiTohja normal Minipla seemingly has more than this, same to the Bouken minipla and Deka Wing Robo one. So I'm really hoping for a better one done later, that switches the peg system back to GekiTohja torso standards of peg out knees and shoulders, with the receiving port on the limbs instead of on the core body. That'd be my preferred minipla style. Where all mecha is compatible to each other, but the articulation is there. Which is a shame, I really love the battle mode. I may bite for that anyway, but it's a shame it feels not quite up to what it could have been. Especially for that cost. I paid less for the full geki minipla line, and it feels like that offers more. If they included the limbs for battle mode in a secondary release or Americanized release, I might consider paying the Americanized Megazord Super minipla price though. But so much parts forming makes both feel overpriced. They did a lot right, but that T-rex and Dragon torso/head stuff feels like they gave up before finishing the design. Which I'd be willing to forgive if more was detail painted. I guess it's the best we can hope for on an old show one. Feels like it could have been so much better though. Seems like most of the design budget went into Brachio/Titanus. And it also makes me wish we saw more of the combo potentials in the original show. Brachio gloves and torso piece on normal megazord, or Brachio Gloves on Dragon Battlemode would have made some kick ass episodes. Last edited by Librarian; 05-12-2018 at 06:50 AM.. |

I have a few spots I need to correct, I also plan on doing a bit of weathering and giving it a black wash. Otherwise, it's like 75% done. |

There will be a release around september/october (my guess) for the latest auxiliary vs vehicules (Trigger Machine Splash and Magic Dial Fighter at least and I won't be surprised if there would be a good striker with it). I was in Japan for 3 weeks and I was surprised to see that if was quite hard to find minipla in stores (there are a lot of DX stuff, but I barely manage to find a vs vehicule 1 set. There was a bit more of vs vehicule set 2). I went in bic camera and yodobashi camera mostly. When I went in Tokyo I went to akihabara and nakano broadway but even there it was quite hard to find something (and sometimes the vs vehicules set were about twice the normal prices Oo). I finally found 2 lupinkaiser and 2 patostriker in one of the radio kaikan tower stores. Does anybody here already went to Japan and bought miniplas there ? Neoxul |
