Magnificent. I remember having the Japanese Cyclone model
ordered through an outlet, and getting my Alpha fighters at
K-B when they were remaindered there...

I never managed to find the Betas. I do have the maroon
and green Alphas, however; one has a broken gun, and they're
a bit played-with, but they're still spiffy to break out and
transform a few dozen times. Neat! I still hope one day
to build a decent LEGO Alpha, but we'll see.
Of course, if you wanted a decent Valkyrie, you could always
buy the Transformer Jetfire (about seven to nine years ago),
which came with the super-armour (albeit in red). I still
have mine, extra parts and all, the only Transformer I kept
when I sold the rest of the lot. *sigh*
