    Found a Green CM's for just under US$100, wondering if I should take a chance. The Green has always been my favorite head site and color for the Alpha. Graham

    Not a criticism or anything, just genuinely curious and would like to ask what's the 'in universe' explanation for the following 2 points: 1) Why the lack of rear visibility on all your designs? Do the cockpits or pilots helmets have screens showing them a rear view, or is lack of rear visibility not an issue? I haven't read your book, so don't know if any within-visual-range dogfighting takes place. If it does, wouldn't the lack of rear visibility be a handicap? 2) Any reason why your designs feature canopy frames instead of one-piece bubble canopies? A personal aesthetic choice, or reasons of strength? On space fighters, I've always felta completely sealed cockpit, with a 360 degree virtual view is probably best. Graham

    Had it since it was first published, but never thought the stuff in there was interesting enough that people would want it scanned. Graham

    Back on topic, please guys. This is a thread about transforming Legioss/Tread toys, not about non-transforming VF-1/ VF-4 toys. No more thread hijacking !!! Graham

    Hopefully, they will improve the leg locking in fighter mode. Graham

    And it's not even such a great toy IMO. I'd be much happier with mine if it actually had decent locking for the lower legs in fighter mode and also if the shoulder armour didn't pop off at least twenty times during transformation to fighter mode. Graham

    While the Toynami Alpha overall sculpt is quite accurate, the fit, finish, quality and materials all leave a great deal to be desired. I really get the feeling it was designed from a hand-made sculpt and no CAD was used, hence the poor parts fit, as likely all the left and right parts are not quite identical or symmetrical. I'm in a mood for an Alpha toy recently, but don't wanna go back to Toynami. I thought I might still have an old green Toynami left, but couldn't find it, so I guess all my old busted Toynami Alphas got thrown away. I've been watching and reading all the CM's Legioss/Tread reviews online over the last few days and really trying to bring myself to like it, but the inaccurate sculpt of the Legioss and the total lack of locking in plane mode are a total deal-breaker for me. I did really wanna like it, but I just can't get past the lack of locking. I'm a fighter mode guy damn it, and need my planes to lock together well, so they can be zoomed around. Gonna have to talk to Yamato and see if any chance they would pick up the licence and finally make us the decent Legioss we all need. Graham

    I still think it's really too soon for a re-release, as the first run only finished a year and a half ago. In my opinon, waiting 3 to 5 years after the first run finished would seem a more reasonable time-frame for an expanded re-release. Graham

    You can never have too much Mylene! I vote for the 40% new content to be all about Mylene! Graham

    Have emailed Yamato to ask them if the March reissue of the VF-17S is confirmed and whether or not it will have tampo printing (I personally doubt it will). However, Yamato have been pretty slow with replying recently, so don't expect a quick answer. As I mentioned before, I've started using trimmed UN Spacy Kite emblem stickers from the v.2 1/60 VF-1, which I think look much better size-wise on the VF-17S. Personally, I think the UN Spacy Kite emblem stickers supplied with the VF-17S are just too large, even when the clear border is trimmed off. Graham

    AAAaaaarrghh!!!! Me too!!!!!!!!!! What a real dick move, trying to force people to buy the whole thing again after such a short time, just with some additional new content and new binders (but still mostly reprint material)..........Grrrrrr not happy! Would much prefer they just released chronical supplements with only the all new material. After collecting all the original Chonicle as and when it came out,I'm not sure I wanna go all through that again.These things are not cheap and take up a fair amount of shelf space. may just buy the first issue, just for the YF-29 and then only buy the occasional issue that has something new of interest to me.

    Whoops, my mistake, the renewal is actually a bit darker. Still looks great though and 100% better than the v.1 in every aspect. Looking at the v.1 and the renewal ver sid by sidethe slightly darker color looks much beter IMO. Graham
  21. Graham
    Err.........you do realize the grey plastic used is actually lighter a lighter shade than the v.1. Graham

    How many of you who cancelled your preorders due to the leg colour on the preproduction sample are kicking yourselves now? Graham
  23. Graham
    All modern toys disintigrate after a few years, so I really wouldn't bother asking about holding value after time.....LOL! (And I bet you think I'm joking!) Graham

    I hate the Toynami Alphas, but wow, after reading the review of the CMs Legioss & Tread I would never buy one for the following reasons: I'm all about nice looking fighter modes and it just looks awful in that mode. Doesn't lock together well in fighter mode. Piss poor conection between the Legioss and Tread. I'd never really paid attention to the CMs Legioss before, but after reading the review, it is such an easy pass. Oh well, hopefully one day Yamato may come to our rescue and finally give us all a decent Legioss. Graham
