Any word, from your well of resources, on what those new release dates might be? can’t say i wasn’t expecting this. it would be nice to actually get some notification from those companies (for those of us who pre-ordered).

Just received mine in the mail and am quite happy- it is maybe an inch of two taller than the old Macross Excalibur/Tomahawk and loads more articulate. My one gripe is that the missile pods on the legs are not functional-- I expected since they had a version on the valk armor that they would just replicate it here, but instead it's just removable boxes. All in all, a nice hefty piece if you are looking for a destroid (and if they release a black and red version, they will appeal strongly to old school Battletech fans as well).

Yellow's bike is the clencher for me; that front end on the MH version is just too big and broad, I like the nice slope that the CM's has. But most of all I like the fact that every CM's has come with "saddlebags" where as only Ray's MH bike did. It also doesn't hurt that I like my import toys tiny and fidgety! Great comparison review though, Thanks! You know I originally was leaning towards the MH versions, the more I looked at the bikes and the size ratio, the more I gradually switched to the CM’s.

MH all the way for me. =) You know, if CM's were the same size, the plastics weren't so shiny/bright, and if the head sculpts were better, I'd say otherwise. Mainly, the size thing for sure.
