Hey, so I saw that this Masterpiece Beta was going to be able to link up with the Masterpiece Alpha. Unfortunately, I have the Masterpiece Alpha Shadow version, which there will not be a Beta version for. I was thinking of ordering the blue MOSPEADA (sp?) Alpha that's in stock, but didn't want to do that if it wasn't going to be compatible with the Masterpiece Beta.
Does anyone know if the Masterpiece Beta will link up with the MOSPEADA Alpha? | |

I hope the announcement is the Masterpiece Cyclone! I'll sign up for one of those too, and ask my wife for forgiveness later. 
O wait, i still haven't told her I ordered the Beta yet!  | |

If you are talking about the ones that were the Toynami clones released last November, yes they will also be able to connect to the Beta. They are the same as the Masterpiece Alphas, except for the color difference. | |

As soon as I got the e-mail from RT.com I put in my order hitting buttons so fast I did not even seen the price till the confirm page. What the heck!!! I mean I still submitted my order because I don't want to be left in the cold but man... Talk about sticking it to us after we have been waiting so long! Why not just price match it to the Alphas. I tell ya if ever their was a knife in the back. Unfortunately I have been waiting for this for soo long I am going to outline on my back where the knife will go just so their is no confusion but it still hurts. Ok Descriptive done! I just better not get a crappy toy. As the say... Confidence is high! | |

... if there are any plans to crank out some more alphas to match the beta? I did not get one of the masterpiece alphas and I would like to avoid getting the MOSPEDA one as the coloring is a little off. | |

At comic con this year they had a shadow beta fighter and with the new alpha fighters they will be releasing those are both shadow fighters too which would give them more reason to produce a nice shadow beta. So your all good  | |

I don't know a single person who owns a Toynami MPC Alpha with a production number greater than 10K. My theory is that they stopped well short and will sell the rest when the Beta is released. This is just a conspiracy theory though, I may be wrong. | |
