    I skip those scenes too. Still haven't opened my SHF Zenitsu, lol, cuz I'm not sure if I like the character enough... but after watching the first movie and his totally serious and badass arc, I can somewhat forgive his buffoonery. Hope you keep watching despite the humor fails...
  2. m0n5t3r
    Yeah, if you factor in the Legioss and Tread combining, then 1/48 scale seems to be the logical size for these. I doubt that Pose+ will produce a matching Tread unless they make a killing with the Legioss or if it's crowdfunded.
  3. m0n5t3r
    I wouldn’t say that the Riobot Legioss is too small. If you're looking for a massive shelf presence, then yeah it can seem small and the Pose+ is what you'll want. But ever since going in on the HMRs, I've found myself picking up and playing with those more, and just leaving the 1/60s on display. So, yeah, I get the playability factor and I might just give the Toyrise a chance whenever they get around to making the OG versions.

    I was thinking HG didn't bother before cuz it was just the Legioss, and really just the blue one since that's the only one with the high production numbers and possible reissues, what with the red and green ones not being as popular. It's entirely possible they couldn't touch the ride armors since they were stylized modern reinterpretations of the original ones from the show. But with the release of the Tread, which has a much higher retail price, plus the upcoming Toyrise Mospeada stuff and the Pose+ and Moshow stuff, they decided they wanted a piece of the action... just my 2 cents. Anyway, I hope things get sorted out soon and the Tread gets reissued and made available from international vendors. I'm really tempted to get the one I saw available on one of the online shopping sites we have here, but for $400.

    Too much going on with that design. a dish that becomes a shield with a gun that looks like a lance. Oddly long and weirdly angled canards. Forward swept wings with guns at the tip? And it's wearing what looks like some kind of Aussie sports uniform/tracksuit.
  6. m0n5t3r
    Yeah, that too... Although I'm not really one to dwell on the unrealized value of any toy in my collection. And if I ever do sell anything, I just look to possibly get back what I originally spent and I would just as quickly spend the proceeds to buy something new to add to the collection. I've never really been a Max guy and back then I had to choose between keeping my 2 1D trainers (one in F-mode or Gerwalk and the other permanently in battroid with those seat accessories), which, to this day, is my favorite VF-1 variant... or give one up and keep the Virgin Road. But if 3Zero decides to make one, then all will be right in the world. IF I did have any kind of foresight back then, I would have invested in something, other than toys, that would make me filthy rich now ✌️ ... and a Merry Christmas to everyone here on MW

    3Zero can only produce valks from Macross TV... what you can wish for is the Alaska Base green 1A that even Yamato during their heyday weren't able to get to (there was a prototype if I'm not mistaken). In hindsight, yeah I'm kicking myself . but to be fair that was during a time when Yamato were churning out valks left and right from both MacTV and DYRL, and I didn't have as much cab space and disposable income back then as I do now.

    Aside from a 1D trainer, I hope 3Zero makes their own 1D Virgin Road... still regret selling the one I got in HK a long time ago.

    Just a couple of quick pics in fighter

    Love the paint job on the Robo Dou M&Ms. I was thinking the same thing... was there a dream sequence part that I missed where Ben got to finish his steak and became a squadron leader?

    Finally received my Riobot Legioss reissue with Robotech branding at the back of the box. Very satisfied to finally complete the Legioss trio. Although I did it backwards... Iota, Zeta and Eta last . Just quickly took a peek to make sure it's the latest reissue with the golden eyes like the Zeta. Too bad though about the Tread. That Robotech branding may have something to do with it becoming a Japan-only release. My crazy theory is Sentinel either drastically cut their planned production numbers to only serve the domestic preorders and totally disregard all the confirmed international preorders... OR... they went ahead with their planned production run and somewhere (probably a warehouse in China) there's a ton of Treads just lying around waiting for whatever issues that came up to be resolved.
  12. m0n5t3r
    Yeah. Looks absolutely stunning and badass at the same time. I don't usually go for stylized reinterpretations of mecha/robots, but this one feels like this is how GL would look like if the show got a reboot and the animators gave this guy an updated look or design. I still have my old Konami Great Impact GL as the OG anime accurate version in my collection .

    Well, it's only around a $20 difference 😅... what I'm more glad about is that I got this updated version, brand new, with what I feel are significant improvements to the figure.
  14. m0n5t3r
    In hindsight, I've never been so glad to have lost out on a bid I made for a used, first version of this a couple of years ago. Plus this one turned out cheaper than my final bid...
  15. m0n5t3r
    I remember that... it's really been that long, 20++ years. I remember watching that back then along with other stuff like Vandread, GTO, Initial D, Shadow Skill etc. 😅
