This is good for those who didn't get the original release because now they can get the Abega ships. But in my honest opinion, this is such a d*** move and slap in the face by Evolution Toys for those who did buy the original release. SMH.

Uh.. shouldn't this thread be moved to the plastic robots section? Mhm, just in case, I'll let Chen know. Anyway. The post on CDX says that all the accesories from the previous release will be included. Does that mean that we're getting both these ships: And these ships as well? Just asking. Cause that is a lot of tiny ships they're giving us. But the robot itself seems unchanged, this looks almost like a simple re-release to me.

This figure is not worth the $200 - 230+ it sells for. I wouldn't even say its worth $150. $125 would be fair. The figures are small, has simple engineering and just doesn't have the weight/build that justifies a $200+ figure. I think the novelty of the interchangeability transformation is fun but easily wears off after the honeymoon phase of the purchase. I've never been fond of the Evolution Toys magnet connection figures, but I believe out of all their robots, only Albegas benefits from that style of transformation. Yes, its true you get a lot of pieces to this ET Albegas set, but when it comes down to it, and you're holding the finished piece in your hands, let me know if you feel it was worth the price. I haven't taken my Albegas figure out of storage since the same day I first opened it and combined it. Since then, I still interact with my Matchbox Voltron II and Bandai GC-04 Albegas figures. Can't say the same for this ET Albegas release. That's just my honest 2 cents coming from a faithful Albegas fan. Albegas toys are far and few overall, and my original hope for the ET release was to fill the void of a modern Albegas figure in my collection. IT DID NOT. Until we get an SOC version of Albegas, the vintage GC-04 or Matchbox Voltron II will be the only definitive Albegas. And no way am I going to spend my money on this re-release just to get the Abega ships which should have been originally included with the first release. More power to those who do get it.

When CM's was still in business, the entire time I thought it was just a matter of time until a Brave Gokin Albegas would be released. *sigh*
