I’ve been eyeing this pre-order for a few days.

I’ve been a big fan of the Alpha Fighter since I saw it 40 years ago. The VF-1 is more iconic, but there’s always been something about the Alpha. This one is apparently part of a “re-imagining” of the original Genesis Climber Mospeada. While not exactly the same as the original Alphas, I think it looks neat.

I showed it to The Wife, who encouraged me to place the order. I may have put up some proforma protest, but I expect it to show up sometime in May.

When explaining its size, I mentioned this exquisite Alpha that’s being released. I will admit that it’s incredibly detailed.

The Wife: Well, why didn’t you get that one?

Me: That one’s $600! I’m not spending $600 on a toy. That’s gun money.
