Where are the Alpha Reissues? was created by Alpha Bravo

Several months ago on robotech.com the store had preorders for new and (hopefully) improved Toynami Alpha Fighters, which were supposedly going to be made entirely out of Lego plastic. These are no longer being showcased in their store. Are they still going to be made? I'd love to display a linkup Alpha/Beta fighter on the entertainment center but I won't buy an OG crappy Alpha.

They were supposedly going to be made out of ABS plastic, particularly the arms, which as die-cast were way too heavy for the friction joints in the shoulders. Better hands that don't crumble, neck joints that aren't on backwards, etc. I just checked robotech.com, bigbadtoystore.com, and toynami.com, and none of those sites even mention them now. I guess they aren't happening. :dry:

Looks like the Alpha reissues are by Evolution. Toynami is importing them for $288. Fuck me.

ROFL and my question was whether they are compatible link-up mode with Toynami Betas, but at $288 apiece I'd have to pass anyway. That these ones fall apart too is just like

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

because, you know, that was like, kinda the entire point of having reissues
