    I'll pick up both, depending on the price of Magnus. The Revoltechs are one of my favorite toy lines and I love the versatility and articulation of the figures.

    However, tangentially connected to this, I'm disappointed to see that Revoltech doesn't have an EVA-05 on line for the near future. Hopefully they'll get around to making it; I'd like 9 of them to have a complete EVA display.

    BBTS initially had it listed for pre-order at $19.99, which is what I pre-ordered it for awhile ago. However, they sent an e-mail around about a month ago (or so), saying that the pre-order price was going up to $24.99 because Kaiyodo wasn't going to be distributing Convoy in the US (or something to that effect). They probably just haven't bothered to change the listing text yet.

    Revoltechs are usually between 10cm (Ingram, Getter 1) to 13cm (EVAs) in height. Convoy and Magnus will be 11.5cm.

    I'm not into non-transforming figures either but I got to admit that I'm interested in him. I haven't got a single series from this line but I'm impressed that alot of other anime characters are showing up in the line. Example, EVAs, Getter and even the Mazinger, er I meant Mazinkaiser!

    I'm with you on this. They can also come up with a Nemesis Prime & I'm STILL not buying those. They DO have great sculpts but "THEY CANT TF" thing just doesnt work for me. ;)

    So, I know the preoder is at BBTS but where is the place to order the set with the Magnus from?

    Well that blows. Here's hoping that HLJ or Fan2Fan can get them.

    Those are both pretty cool. I'll probably get the Prime, and maybe the Magnus if I can get one for a good price.

    They look cool, aside from being based off Pat Lee designs... god I hate those little tiny protruding chest windows...
