I find it odd that a fan of the University of Spoiled Children doesn't have to think twice about dropping $300 on a toy. Oh wait, that's not odd at all is it? I'm sorry, I couldn't resist...

Scream man, overdrive-inc still has them for like $270 USD shipped via EMS for the blue guy. The green guy is going to run you an extra $140!!!! I'll wait until I have one in hand but I thought it was said that the hips had been modded to make them more poseable in the previous gallery. Even so, hips are only half the battle, you have to have more poseable feet in order to really pull that off. Then, add that all together and you can come up with a super sweet pose... only to realize you can't have the friggin head angle to see over it's too tall shoulders and I'm thinking this toy is on pretty much equal setting with the MPC. I can't believe in this day and age CMs couldn't figure out a way to design a head that turned... on a $300 toy!

How so?

My guess is based on the huge derivations from the lineart and the tepid sales (of eBay vendors) of not preordered toys. It's just a guess though, I wouldn't let it upset you.

so it's official huh? Toynami continued to use the craptastic hands? what bastids.

Misterryno, just expand the window it pops-up in as far as humanly possible and it should become legible.

Yeah, my Mega House review is going up in a couple days if work doesn't get too crazy. Then, if all goes well I'll get my Legioss/Tread early next week and have a review up shortly thereafter. Another good thing about the blue guy, it seems like the ones that weren't preordered aren't exactly flying off the shelves so you might see some deep discounts in a few months.

I'm guessing you don't have to worry too much about trying to grab a blue one right away. From the look of it, a lot of people are going to buy this, realize it's floppy, realize it's ill-proportioned, and realize they could use that money for something else and sell these quick just hoping not to lose too much. The green and reds might be a bit of a different story.

That's easy, the VF-11B is actually going to happen and no one wants to piss Yamato off by making it seem like the beans got spilled here prematurely.

If this thing arrives in good shape overdrive-inc may just become one of my new go-to places. The price was fantastic and it shipped within a few days of word of its release. Fantastic.

MW has become a cold, cruel place.

Wow, drama. I wonder if there's any chance Yamato will do something like "Due to overwhelming fan response a second window will be opened" or something like that. Meh, who knows.

I got my processing notification also... wonder what that means?

Oh man, I was just about to rush to eBay!!!!

They almost have the pic I wanted but for some reason they pulled the Tread wings in The Legioss looks horrid in soldier mode but fighter mode is growing on me. You can tell fighter mode is floppy though and man, the view from behind is worse than hideous.

Yes, I always find that Autobot insignia distracting but I figured that's 'cause I was always more of a Robotech/Macross fan. That said, it just doesn't feel like Jetfire without it. Have you considered just replacing the skull emblem with the autobot insignia (on the heatshield)? I would say either do that or use a smaller more tasteful autobot emblem on the nosecone.

LOL, good luck!!!!

I think the stickers are nice but you're missing the autobot sticker on the nose! The gold isn't my thing but it does strike me as "transformery" for some reason.

That wasn't the mode I was talking about but that's always a cool pose. I guess that'd be Legioss in soldier mode with the Tread in some sort of diver mode.

LOL, wouldn't that look like the tread was humping the legioss? I wanna see a pic of the the quasi Diver mode where the tread's legs are swung out but otherwise the legioss and tread are still in combined fighter mode.

Praise the lord. Save target as

The Beagle/Toynami easily looks the best but rumored price is insane. The MH and the CMs is 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, it depends on what you value most. CMs is a much cooler design but is smaller and figidity (especially in bike mode). The MH has better color but less detail and an oddly proportioned rider and a Lego-like transformation. Both are pretty reliant on the stands they come with.

If you never touch the hands you might be alright. Also take extreme caution with the front landing gear's door as there's a little piece of plastic that maintains its ability to stay closed and can easily be broken or bent. Beyond that you're looking at elevated odds of getting a lemon but not so elevated like you need to feel like you have a 50/50 chance of getting crap. Chances are you'll get one that will be decent enough... but there are chances you won't. Of all the ones I've owned only one had a limb fall off on its own accord, I had another that had crooked landing gears, and another that had the peg on the arm affixed to the slot in the leg. You'll probably also have a crooked head :/

I imagine the red will be on eBay at the end of April. I believe CMs was dropping the greeny mid April and red at the end of April at TRU.

The Beagle CVR Armor doesn't look removeable to me. You can see two screw holes in the back of the chest armor and one screw hole in the waist armor.
