I wouldnt be suprised if MakeToys launch this as an exclusive via their own online shop rather than the usual supects (BBTS, TFSource etc), perhaps thats why we havent seen a pre-order up yet.

That's what they said they would do, no secret or speculation about it. Still-- where is?

I didn't realize this guy was so small.

Kind of makes sense if this is based off the Battle Tanker. Still, the size comparison is pretty jarring.

I don't like MMC's version. I find it just too big for a Classics collection. I think it'll scale well for an MP shelf, but not for Classics.

MakeToys it shall be.

Yea, it's the one that was created way back as a clear resin kit, by the same guys who made the Drift kit. They wanted to make a few as a super limited release but then just disapered. Someone has acquired the original file for the 3D model and is working on releasing it on a mass scale.

Maketoys MT-03 Hypernovae, part of the Battle Tanker series. :lol:

Very nice to see you, there in all your glory!

If it weren't a Battle Tanker clone, maybe I'd be interested.

I'm sure this will work for lots of people, though, so good for MakeToys. :APPLAUSE:

It's neat. I want it. Unfortunately, it isn't part of my 'must-haves' and money is too tight to justify it. Makes me a sad collector. :sad:

I like it, but not as much as MMC's or "the other one".

Pass.

Crap. Shipping on Friday??? $160+??? :BOOM:

They're not giving us much time to budget. I don't know if I can pull this off right now.

Meanwhile, where the hell is Chaos? 8-}

I wish Maketoys would've done the clear orange plastic for Chaos' highlights.

Ordered. That was a heck of a chore. Hopefully everything will go as planned and it won't end up somewhere in Russia.

too much of a pain in the aft to order it from sounds of things. I really like my Battle Tanker but I can miss out on this in the hopes that a better one comes along at some point.

Here: http://maketoys.shop-pro.jp/

I used a combination of Google translate and clicking on the obvious buttons to muddle my way through. It seems that I could only select Japanese states though (and it's a required field?). I don't know, I'm optimistic though.

Ordered mine as well. Already have a shipping number but no info on it yet.

you can use Google chrome. It'll auto translate the whole site for you.

Thanks. Interesting that the U.S. online retailers haven't gotten onboard with this figure.

Maybe they're trying a MMC Planet Steel Express type thing. Direct sales that are presumably more profitable.

It's because it's a Maketoys' store Exclusive.
