I'm already in the middle of purchasing debates and it's only January. Geez, this year is already looking crazy. I don't think this is going to be a year where I can just get anything I want without planning because there are so many great releases coming out, and things are looking expensive too. So I'm curious what everyone's "yes", "no" and "maybes" are. Here's a few of mine, and a couple of headaches.. Black Getter Ryoma: This is a big temptation to me right now and I stll haven't made a decision. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. So it's a maybe. CM's Gaogaigar: This was almost a yes last week, but it's going to be a no. I like the Max Factory version too much and the CM combined form doesn't have the great paint job, articulation and proportional balance and detail of MF, but CM's GGGG as a combiner is probably as good as it can get. If I liked the individual forms of the Gaogaigar bots a little more, it would be a yes. Voltus: Believe it or not, it's a maybe. I know, I know, I'm insane. I'm going to hold out and see what versions get released before I buy. Strong Attack Aquarion: Yes. I'm on board. Looks nice. MFs Godanner: Hell yes. Primus: Maybe. Looks cool, and I love what's going on wth the Transformers in general, but we'll have to see with all the metal that's flying around this year. MFs Blood Sucker: Hell yes. Alteisen: Yes. I have hight hopes. Ok, that's as far as I'm going to go for tonight..

Yeap, I'd have to agree.
Decision making time. Which toys will make it to my shelf and which ones I have to ignore. I guess it's about which toys are in your priority list.
1/60 VF-0S = definitely Voltes V = yes Godannar = hell yeah! SA Aquarion = yep
So far those are my priorities for this year.

Alrighty! I'll speak up. SOC Battle Fever Robo: YES! MF Godannar: Maybe BP Alteisen: Want=yes. Purchase=no....I would love to pick this up though. Looks like it comes with a nifty hangar accessory! Non-Chogokins:Cloud and Fenrir: Yes! It's on the way as we speak! Gold Knight GARO: Hell Yes! Here's hoping the ring prop is diecast! 1/400 Musai: Another YES!

But those other fewture getters better be close to the price point of mazinger 1901.

My 2006 List thus far:
Voltes V - Yes always
Black Getter Ryoma - Yes, because of you people keep
raving about it, this wasn’t even on my radar till found out how much die-cast it has and how tall it was as well as other favorable details so now I’m rather committed in buying one despite the $$$
Shin Aquarion - Maybe, use to be a definite yes until the Blk. Getter
GBP 1/48 Armor - Yes always
Aoshima Getter w/ popeye arms released last year??? - Maybe, I’ve acquired a new appetite for getters might be a good addition
takara king exkiser takara dragon kiser - No, too “transformer-ish” I swore of these in 2004 selling all my TFs
Godanner - No, I’ll wait for a transformable version and i don’t mean SHE
Battle Fever and other SOCs - Yes, Forever.
alteisen - Maybe, I’ll wait for the reviews/impressions
MF Bloodsucker - No, Is this the votoms??? not even on my radar but I’m sure you guys will find a way to tempt me with this once one of you get it
VF-0S - Yes, for always.
Damn being an RJ member is destroying my wallet.

I'm definitely getting the BF Robo. I really, really want to pick up Godannar, but I'm not sure I have the available funds... Sadly, the Fewture Black Getter is way out of my price range. =(
We'll have to see about other SOCs. In the meantime, I have preorders out for the new Microman Assassin Force/Acroyear XADO figures and some of the Souchaku Henshin series, and I'm fairly interested in the Hibiki SIC.

Voltes: yes (athough I've voiced my reservations) MF Goddanner: yes, but not until all other bills are paid- sooner, if tax refund is good; later if it ain't. Battle fever: maybe Aquarion: doubt it Leopaldon: doubt it Ryoma Getter: who knows- I've been known do do crazy things. Doraemon: I know I'll wake up one rainy morning, look out the window , and say, "Hmmm- I need something to cheer me up. I know. I'll buy something on line!"

oh forgot about the yamato garland & 1/12 bulldog votom. looks like another very grim year for the saving account. I'm already off the a bad start with the blk getter. .......soooo divided with mixed feelings of bliss highs and savings lows Well i guess I've got another 25 year give or take of work to save $$$ hopefully 2007 won't be as intense.
