The Month of Delays

Posted in Site News at 1:51 am by micronian

Many toy manufacturers live and die by the holiday season.  It can be an extremely competitive time.  These companies realize the importance of getting their toys out in time to be considered for gifts and as such, many often set dates for release that prove too optimistic.  I was hoping to get you reviews this month of the Beagle Ride Armor (the future MPC Cyclone) and the MPC Beta but unfortunately both have been postponed until next month (and quite possibly later).  I still plan on keeping things fresh with several brand new posts, a bonus Thanksgiving post, and maybe some other extras if time allows.  There are lots of Macross and Mospeada goodies coming our way in the coming months.  To get a taste of one of the items on the horizon, check out Overdrive-inc’s blog.
