    Thanks man, even had time to sign in, (only site I didn't have up)

    Not up yet, but keep an eye on Okini Land, they came through for me on Max and Hikaru. https://okini.land/en/search?controller=search&in-stock=1&s=VF-1

    Got one Amazon, keep your eye on Okini Land, they've come through for me on the last two.

    Turns out the "screws" are metal pegs with anchoring grooves, they will come out if you slowly and gently pry them up with a small screw driver while turning the laser in a circle. So deconstructing a Yamato VF-1J head can be accomplished. When I'm finished I'll have to post pictures of my finished custom VF-1J Cavaliers.

    So I finally followed through on this, and I've included the results in the pictures below (instruction page courtesy of Anymoon.com). I was able to remove the front of the visor and the colored green plastic with just a razor blade and not much fuss. The rest required an overnight soak in GooGone. As you can see it also did a reasonable job softening up the paint for me and I was able to wipe most of it off. Using a razor blade and small screwdriver to attack the joints I was able to carefully pry off the head cap, and then it was easy to split the other pieces. Where I am now, is trying to get the screws/pegs off of the head lasers. Has anyone done this before or assembled the kit? They don't seem to be unscrewing when I use the pliers to twist them, are they just glued metal pegs? Would another GooGone bath do the trick?

    Clearly you’ve never taken a pt test.

    Mine just arrived, and I can second everything that's been said about the engineering..... WOW! Somebody really earned their money designing this. The good news is the TREAD "should" be much simpler, but I'm sure RIOBOT will figure out a way to over-engineer it. That said, I love it, for now I have him in Soldier mode sitting next to my DX VF-1A Max on my desk. Not a toy by any means, but probably the best transforming LEGIOSS with as few compromises as we're ever likely to get.

    I don't drink, so I'm not in danger of alcohol poisoning, but I also don't want my bladder to pop, soooooooooo....... no

    If I'm not able to secure this pre-order, I have a still in shipper box unopened MSIB VF-1S Hikaru that I've been saving for barter and I'll trade strait across for a Roy VF-1S. Just putting it out there.

    I believe they've already teased the red Legioss, so most likely that next with the green following, and then HOPEFULLY someday a TREAD.

    This is an expensive hobby, everybody knows that. I can understand saying to rich for my blood, but at the end of the day this appears to be a fantastically engineered model/toy that is scaled perfectly for the "hopefully" forthcoming TREAD. Anybody who hasn't seen the size of a 1/48 TREAD might be forgiven for saying it's to small, but after you've seen a Toynami Beta (which depending on the reference art is oversized), you understand completely why this LEGIOSS is so small.

    Amazon order says arriving July 3-6, hasn't shipped yet.

    Just get the two pack with the painted and unpainted one mentioned above, comes with a bolt rifle

    Disagree, I feel the articulation is very good on the Bandai, and the Mcfarlane ones seem to be more the in range of the traditional action figure, but we'll know for certain about six months from now.
  15. levzloi
    The price point may make this a no brainer, and they do look very nice, but I doubt they'll come close to the articulation of the Bandai. They're also likely to get a wider range of figures out faster, so I'll definitely be picking up a Dark Angel or Deathwing terminator.
  16. levzloi
    Like others have said, it is a little lacking on detail, it is essentially a brand new Primaris Space Marine in Armor right off the assembly line. No purity seals or battle damage, and just the knife and Bolter. That said I think the Articulation is awesome, you can get him into just about any pose you've seen on a miniature. If this is the only one produced, then I'm glad I got him, if they ever come out with a Dark Angel space marine, or better yet Deathwing Terminator, I think he's going to another home.
  17. levzloi
    Yikes, just can't win sometimes.
  18. levzloi
    Well, that's a little less detail than I was hoping for, but articulation looks awesome.
  19. levzloi
    Can't wait to see what it looks like! Sucks about the dent, but unless you display the box.... like you said, as long as the item is intact. I just got a Fed Ex shipping notice, so that was 5 days after the initial shipping notice. Should be here by thurs.
  20. levzloi
    Just got shipping notification for US delivery. Edit Delivery Method Standard Free over $32. Your order should ship within 28 days. Yikes..
  21. levzloi
    Just going to put this here, for the record if you can't get original replacements, this method really works incredibly well.
  22. levzloi
    It's those Yamato 1/48 boxes, they're massive. I'm pretty sure they automatically bump the package into the next price category.
  23. levzloi
    The Citadel arc as well
  24. levzloi
    this is a pretty good list that includes most of the Mandalorian episodes to catch you up on that history as well. https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/disney-picks-20-important-star-wars-clone-wars-episodes-watch-season-7/

    I know that some people are upset that the Star Wars fans on here aren't waiting patiently to find out if it will be good or not. I think they could pull off a good product if they have proper direction, vision, and most of all sound writing and good stories. Unfortunately, I think what we're seeing with the white board is writing/design by committee. What we're most likely to end up with is inoffensive, unimaginative, with plenty of virtue signaling. Disney's wildest dream is to turn Star Wars into the Marvel franchise pumping out fun entertaining and ultimately forgettable movies on a quarterly basis. That Star Wars will not even closely resemble the original trilogy in tone, direction, and quality. But it will make money hand over fist.
