The train mode for Getsuei is great. However..as Chuck mentioned in his review, while the track pieces can fit together, the gauges (or width of the tracks themselves) are different, so connecting them together and having them travel along the track is an impossibility. Also, All of Getsuei's wheels become problematic to align on the track, plus there is a piece that drags bottom, making it impossible to glide smoothly on the track.
In Robot mode he is cool. I dont mind the kibble, and the back flap I keep down (despite the instructions), just looks way better.
Leg Mode (thanks again Chuck for the shortcut transformation) still... The back seems unfinished seeing as how the wheel sections dont clip back together, nor do the back panels. The Back of his calf is just left split open. Not the neatest look, but we shall see as time goes on. I definitely prefer Shouki so far. I dont mind his extra train kibble in Robot mode. I prefer him to Getsuei.
Well, its going to be a long 5 months until Yukikaze comes out, and hopefully pre orders for MPG-04 Suiken should be revealed soon.
DON'T LISTEN TO ME! The reason the instructions have you split the legs is so you can have enough clearance to swing those lower parts around. Otherwise you run the risk of breaking it like I did.
