Detail wise, appearance and the overall design is superb. Whether you call its a Ride-Armor or a Cyclone its an Epic Win. Sadly its transformation is quite complex and warrants buying one each. Its what makes my old Gakken version a delight, rugged & easy to transform!
I wish these weren't $200. If they were $100, that would seem more like a fair deal. Especially since they are only a little over 8 inches tall. If these were 11-12" tall, then a $200 price tag wouldn't seem as bad.
One last thought: Atom says he "looks forward to the next one" -- think Beagle will give us a red 1/10 Houquet / Rook Mospeada? That would be AWESOME, but would require them to do a lot of new parts sculpts compared to the Stick / Ley models.
Seeing that Mospeada in 1/10 scale is so awesome, I think Beagle would surely do Yellow's (Lancer's) Blowsperior, Fuke's Bartley and Shinobu's Dark Bartley, the Alpha Variable Fighters, the Beta Variable Fighters and a couple of Invid Igas and Shocktroopers too. Why not? Toy technology was never this good! As for the new parts sculpts 'problem', do you really think the Japanese would have a problem with that?! They built a 1/1 Gundam in Odaiba from nothing!
hey are you gonna get the Virgina road max and millia valk from when they get married its a 1D even though in macross super dimensional fortress its a 1A
@bbiguy When I bought my Alpha Fighter my missus walked around the corner a minute after I opened the box and caught me making jet noises.
She lost it. She had tears in her eyes she was laughing so hard. A 30 year old scaffolder playing with toys..... It was worth it. I'm buying this next when I come back from my next mining swing.
I guess you can call it a stocking stuffer!

The Toynami versions are going for $115 shipped at the moment. It's pretty much the exact same product except for a different head sculpt.

This is actually even cooler to me than the (very cool) Stick version. Hard to say why. Maybe just fewer Ley/Rand armor bike toys out there.
PS: Yeah, they totally need to ditch that crazy screw hole in the neck! Or give us a screw hole cover.
