So all that's left if you want a full set of Cyclones are the CM's right now? Cuz it looks like Megahouse has canceled their line like Beagle which sucks. My choice after the Beagles would have been the Megahouse ones but it looks like CM's is the only company that has a full set plus is still making accessories for this line. Just how good are these CM's ones?

Just how good are these CM's ones? I only have the CM's yellow, and while it's true that it's phenomenally fiddly and has some very strange joints (they don't bend straight, his hip, ankle, and knee joints are all 45 degree cut joints), I like it. The transformation, as long as you have a small screwdriver to help pry and retrieve tiny hinged pieces, is fairly intuitive, and once you get the figure into armored mode it's quite solid and stable. Hefty for its size, too, thanks to the big diecast bars and chest piece. I've been on a big microman kick of late so maybe I'm just entranced with what they were able to do with the size, but I have to say I like it. |

Wow, terrible news that 2 of the 3 cyclone lines have bitten the dust. The Beagles/Masterpiece versions were way out of my price range, and I just didn't like the CM's versions. I did pick up a Megahouse Rei, and while I bagged on it a bunch of times on this forum for its tiny pieces, difficult transformation, and overall fragility, once displayed and not touched, it was a nice looking piece. I was hoping to get a Rook to go with my Rand, and was actually thinking about going back & getting the whole crew. Guess that's not gonna happen anymore. Any specific reasons given for the cancellation? I'm assuming low sales.

Where does it say the Beagles have been canceled? Did I miss something?

You did miss it, yeah. Due to poor sales, Beagle has cancelled the Ride Armor line and will not be releasing Hoquet. The designer who was making the ride armors has, as a result, left Beagle to look for another avenue of work.
There are no official press releases on this or anything. Just reports from trade shows from people who have talked to Beagle directly.
