I'm talking about hit it and watch it spin - floppy. The one thing that bugged me is that it's not made for customizers. I wanted to take the arm apart and put in some thin washers to tighten up the arms, but there are no screws. It was glued shut.

Shin, the arms are floppy. And it's not very poseable. I'd say they caught up the the craftmanship of the older Yamato toys. Nowhere near the 1/48 and certainly nowhere MCPrime. If I was to list the order of transformable toy manufacturers in order of quality it'd be like this: Before the Alpha: Takara Bandai Yamato Banpresto/Toynami After the Alpha release: Takara Bandai Yamato (because of the 1/48) otherwise it would be a tie with... Toynami Banpresto

No crack for you! One Year! Seriously people - next it'll be the 1J's everybody's clamoring over. Save yourself the headache and buy them now. Because they'll seem really, really, really cool when they're overpriced. Ha. I racked up on the crack! er... the 1/48s. I got all the ones i want (for now), even 2 LVs. I'm sittin pretty like Tony Montana, now I just got to hold all you bastiches back with my little friend.

so true... I mean, people wouldn't be asking for dinosaurs if they were still around...

That's like telling a crack addict that they're not gonna make anymore.

cool! Gonna check it out tonight!!! Thanks MEMO and rtsurfer...

Thanks. I posted the pics not only to inform but for any info that I maybe doing some things wrong. I'll give the landing gear thing a try tonight. Though I'm sure it already snapped into place when I lowered them. I didn't even know the magazine came off the gun.

This is also cool, the front vanes fold up underneath the canopy and connects just like the lineart. I haven't seen that on any Legioss toy or model. There's a huge gap on the top but it's a lot more pleasing than a gap all the way down the center. arms unfolding: Yeah it's incomplete and not posed well, but you get it... My final verdict on the toy is that I love it. It's very flawed, no doubt. Paint is messy. Mold is dirty. But it's also built well and there's a lot that makes it look good and fun to play with. I don't mind the imperfect transformation. I don't care for the missiles tabs either. And I certainly hate the landing gears. But all in all, this is a great Legioss toy. Something I've wanted since the nostalgia craze surfaced. I'm still hoping for a deluxe and more perfect edition though. And I'm not buying the Beta thing. I'll believe it when I see it.

The size of the feet, while disappointing, is minimal to the leaps and bounds this toy made from the classic Gakken, that I still love. I've been playing with this toy the whole day (thanks Kev) just to make my mind up about it because it's many flaws does make it hard for you to instantly love it. The feature I'm amazed by is the many tabs that actually make it solid. I remember Toynami wanted to stay away from tabs in the MPC Veritech and decided to go with magnets. Either there was no room for magnets or they decided it wasn't a good idea after all. In any case I'm happy about the decision. Here's some pics that I haven't seen posted. This is a pic of the belly dragging. I don't know how they pulled it off at the con, but there's no way to get that chest off the ground. Here's the front landing gear. I didn't connect the tab so you can see where it goes. Rear landing gears. Useless, and theres a point on the rubber that tells me that it will rip easily. Here's the arms in fighter. Notice the 2 tabs that's suppose to hold it together. Well it doesn't, it easily slips out. Here's the tabs that hold the arm down to the leg. This works great. You have to make sure it's transformed correctly though or they won't line up... Okay, this is kinda important... at first I thought this is the connection to the Beta, but it turns out it goes into the leg to keepit steady. So far I haven't seen anything that fortells a Beta, like certain tell tale signs that the 1/48 gave us that there was FPs on the way. Here's a cool feature. The body collapses and extends to release the the center part where the antenna sensor pod goes. Tabs for the front vanes

I doubt that Big West would tell them to go to HG. That would open up the rest of the Macross franchise to HG.

They'll probably remove all the gay innuendos KITT had for Michael... What the hell is that whore doing in here Michael? Why do you only help out hot chicks? Ah... that was one good episode... the only one good episode...

beautiful coloring job RR. THe hair seems to be a little bit off. It's cel shaded while the rest of it is blended nicely. It still rocks. Photoshop or Illustrator?

hmmm... tweaking is an Olympic Sport now? Damn... I could have been a contender.... puff puff give, Greece... puff puff give!

it's so top secret that even they don't know about it.

This is the best thread about the worst movie ever. Every post makes me laugh. I'll end up quoting everyone... but I'm not Hurin...

We were at F&S and went to the Tisinc booth in the morning where they had a dendrobium for $225 we returned within the hour to check something else out and saw that it went up to $250. Within the same hour.... not to mention that he told some guy that he had bought the last one they had a couple of weeks ago.

that's just wrong... but hell he left it wide open...

I think you're talking about "Kate" singing it?! I can't recall Myung doing it...

Count me in that prayer. I hope Medina gets all his belongings ripped from the earth. I dont want him to die... just suffer a lot and wish he was killed. Anyway, good luck to everyone else. Stay safe.

Godzilla, with the massive number of expensive valks you buy, I gotta ask, whatcha do for a livng Um hello... I thought you knew... = Um no. But I use to work for his company as a contractor. I am *trying* to cut my expensive habit... it aint happening this month thanks to those fools Amped and rnurmin selling their stuff. I am a test engineer at this engineering software firm, making decent money but not enough to buy a house here in Seattle. Now I know California housing is really bad but Seattle is getting close to it. wow...i'm just wondering though how you store all the valks you have. you must be renting a pretty big apartment!! Wouldnt you like to know? I live in a house. I would explain the story but I wont bore you to death about it. too late... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I don't want to blow it for anyone but here's the cheesy ending.

I don't think she wrote any of those. She wrote Angel's Paint and some other one that wasn't that popular.
