where do you guys get your Machine Robo figures?

Hi,

Action Toys have been making the MP-like gobot figures in their Machine Robo line. Since these are china based rather than japan based, I have to find other ways to import them than with the usual stuff from Japan.

How do you guys get these toys usually? Do you simply buy from ages 3 and up?

Re: where do you guys get your Machine Robo figures?

I was so excited for this line. I only ended up buying Leader-1 and Cykill and thought they were okay. Every other release has been boring IMO.

I was really hoping for the machine robo versions of Turbo, Crasher, Cop-tur, and Scooter to appear by now. I really only have an interest in getting the characters that showed up on the Challenge of the Gobots, even though it had no connection to the stories in Machine Robo.

I may end up selling the Leader-1 and Cykill as a result of the slow distribution.

Yeah I picked up the first couple releases and just wasn't feeling it. Combined with the long delay it killed my interest.

They are good figures, but I'm not interested anymore.

The only reason I picked a few from this line is because of this:

I got mine from
https://robotoybase.com
formally chimungmung.com
https://robotoybase.com/index.php?ro...y&path=151_202
I have never had to pay duty and the owner Tony ships fast.
The Bike Robo DX is my favourite since it comes with Cykill faces.

I was waiting for their Blue Jet but although prototype has been shown for, what, almost 3 years (at least 2) they never release it. I even leave space for him next to my SoC Baikanfu! They did Rod Drill but still no Blue Jet... this totally killed my interest in the line.

But I might pick up the new steam locomotive. It is one of the first MR I got in the 80’s. I hope they will release Blue Jet instead, though.
