I didn't noticed the name change. It is quite unexpected to see so many duplicates in only 3 sets.
I wonder how they plan to release the remaining toys that will be released after the movie (raptors and pachigaroo). Will there be more duplicates ?

To be honest that's a bit of a concern for me. I never realised before how many duplicates there were, though I'm guessing this is a rarity rather than the rule?

I'm probably gonna keep pre-ordering, though I may try to hold off in future until more details are released. I don't want to miss out on any mech, but having duplicates of 6 boxes within the first three releases is a little bit rubbish.

BUT! I am enjoying the build of the sets and the fun of them so it's a trade off that is kind of working for me :)

Those look great! The photo quality is fantastic :) and excellent work on the panel lining!

Any pictures of the combined forms?

Hard to say what is really the rule. If you look over the last years, it happens even if is quite rare. Even the core "Good Striker" of last year robot was not released twice in a set. For ryusoulger, set 1 and 2 are interesting to have 3 knight and 5 knight. Sure if you were looking to do only one of those that is boring. But as future release will need a tyramigo too, and given how they started , does this mean that this year will have waves of duplicates ?

It's possible :/ think I will have to be less trigger happy on the preorders if that is the case. I also don't think there is a need for multiples, though that could just be me. I don't really want to build the EXACT same mold and colour more than once. And I don't feel the need to display the same thing in different forms, like having Three Knights and Five Knights on display together

Thanks! I didn't take too many photos. Haha

Rumors talks about KamiRyuOh, that should be a big robot (like orion or dodekaioh), and other auxiliary (dolphin/sea lion)
We should have catalog info at the beginning of next month (not for minipla but for the DX, it could give hints on how things will be released then)
I don't think there will be tyramigo again (but of course I may be wrong ! like for set 2 or dimevolcano with set 3)
I understand your opinion about having only one form (eventually I will have three knight and five knight but not the alternative three knight (triken and ankylose))

So the 4th box of Mosarex is going to be the ammonites and accessories. But why does it come with hands? Seems a bit random
