Sounds like a pretty interesting read (though I won't read it on account of not being able to read Japanese).

I stopped collecting due to storage space limits but I might start up again with Pat/Lupin.

Is there a reason the kyuutama globe spins on the minipla version?

Given how minipla are constructed, and that they were going to need us to place something inside it, it had to be split. As for spinning, I expect it's because that's what DX Kyutama do - "mawaslide" comes from somewhere - even though the image doesn't change on the minipla for practical reasons.

Makes sense. Just some of the instructions mention it can spin I'm assuming its just saying to have the seams face the same way.

Also I noticed in the Ryuteioh set the box has the sasori kyuutama image reversed (showing the scorpion instead of the ranger while in arm mode). Is there reason for that or a error?

It's not exactly reversed. What happened is that for the Voyagers that were included in two sets (Shishi in the second KyurenOh and Sasori in Ryuteioh) instead of using the same cockpit stickers they gave the second versions Kyutama designs based on the special attack designs from different versions of their Kyutama. The one in the Ryuteioh set I believe uses the design from the SG Sasori Kyutama.

Staff blog has been updated

We have a first look at patokaiser robo minipla

That looks very good.

Giving the last info we can expect serie 03 to be all the auxiliary vehicules (wonder what id the fifth in the lineup...) in may.

We can expect X-Empereor for july as the DX is set for this month. Will have to order two for this set as it will have 2 forms...

Neoxul

Warming up to it all, but I can wait for the eventual clear or glitter version.

I was a little apprehensive about the elbows, but the other pictures on the blog makes it look like pull-out elbows are going to be a thing, although they may not be placed that close to where an elbow would be.

I'm curious as to what the pink peg holes under the fist will be used for.

Ooh, I'm liking the look of it. I'm excited for the release. It looks like the elbows for patokaiser are right at the wrists which might limit pose-ability options which is unfortunate but it does look good.

Also seems like series 3 is only available in a 10 pack set so you'll end up with doubles of whatever is included in that wave. Guess I'll be waiting for Mandarake or something for that because I don't want to deal with doubles.

Okay so I really want the Live Robo Super Minipla, and forgot about it until a couple of days ago. Where is the best place for me to order it from? I'd rather have cheap than fast, since I'm pretty patient.
