    ARG - the figures just don't match the Scopedogs IMO - but anxious to hear what others who actually have them, think...

    Anything new from anybody? No DMZ purchases? Having looked them over some more the feet is not the bother, its those micro-men guys. Its 2011, I cannot believe they could not do better figs for such an awesome toy. Those figs could be overlooked if the price to get them wasn't so steep. No news on marshy Dog concept from Yamato? or was that a fan mock-up? Anyone have a loose Yamato Cuvie with no box or extra parts to sell for cheap?

    I'm a huge Mospeada fan and I won't be getting this, at least not until I see what is later down the line. Scale does not thrill me, and I have this same thing many times over in various forms. I guess the iconic hero mech always has to come first, and the sales numbers probably support this. If I had my own company I would do the Tread in Diver mode with all those bomb racks as we've seen so many times before. Everyone would KNOW what was next - a Legioss Soldier, and they would buy it up. There has never even been a kit of the Tread in Diver mode, let alone with all those coveted extras. We are aging fans! Give us something new! HECK WAVE - Come out with the Phalanx in 1/72 FIRST - sheesh (and show exclusive 1/60th version?) We have Tomahawks! In every scale! I hear all the pros and cons about the design of this Legioss and agree with most on this thread - but in the end I'm not buying...

    Do we have the links to the 1/72 resin kit pics? I've seen them on here somewhere. Interested in a 1/144 - but I have too many things to buy ahead of it...

    'captain america' -- looks stumpy, squat, deformed and un-heroic UN-HEROIC! I knew it. I just couldn't find those words. Was saying 'cluttered', but I see what you mean now. The panel lines could be light gray on the white areas, and dark blue on the blue areas, that would help too. Still not sure why they chose this scale, a tread soldier at 1/48th 1/55th is still not that large. DEAR WAVE - Never mind us though - thank you for coming out with anything Mospeada. Please give us something we've never had like InBits next, oh and in 1/48th would be great, no matter how well or poorly this sells...

    Cheek GRENADES? Sa-weeett . . .

    Looks like you can get 3 DMZs here: http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-137907150

    Bummer - sorry about the Brutish bid. Yesterday I looked over the DMZ's again and they are awesome looking. And the smaller size and sturdier build are quite appealing. Especially after I tried to switch guns on my Yamato Strong Bacchus -- it took 10 minutes of fiddling. Thumb wouldn't stay on, then whole arm fell off, then hand came off, THEN fist punch charge fell out and extended arm, then thumb came off again - seriously? Sheesh. Yamato 1/12 = pose once and leave on shelf. Not to mention the DMZ's weathered paint job, I'm a sucker for more realistic wartime look. From the reviews that looks like the biggest PLUS for the line. You guys on the DMZ hunt keep us posted...

    MINT is such a DISTRACTION! This is a neat, but very FIDDLEY set. Takes some time just to get all the pieces to stay on long enough to take a photo. CMS - nice job on the tampo printing. Not such a nice on so many things, I do not have time to list them here. Would never have gotten these, then they smartly came out with the figure set. Ray, Fuke and Mint are quite good, Yellow so-so, while Stick looks sickly. These are getting cheaper all the time online for those you have never jumped in...

    We'll likely never know - but I would love to see what the sales numbers would be if WAVE just went with an Mospeada enemy line right in the 1/48th range. Something we've never had or seen before, to go with something most of us already have. Straight out of the gate with no heroes. Purple Trooper first, Pack of 2 or 3 Scouts, then Gurab or Blue Guy. Show or web exclusives could be the smaller soldier in 3, or other variations. The they could mix in the heroes in Soldier mode - but in 1/48th. I realize its written somewhere that enemies don't sell, but I have 1/72 kits of the blue Legioss, 1/55 and 1/48th and 1/32 toys and resin kits. Its always Skull 1 and the Blue Legioss - followed by the 1J and the Green Legioss - ON AND ON and ON... Maybe if this does really we'll see all those Inbits in 1/72, but that scale does not do that much for me...
  12. DarrinG
    Thanks for posting the pics! Is it that the panel-lining is too thick? Does that make the machine look ultra-small? Nice kit and sculpt, but something about it makes it look cluttered or cramped to me...
  13. DarrinG
    No Yamato Strike Dog. Wanted a 1/12 Bloodsucker from the Last Red Shoulder OVA - that should come with an Ypsilon as well! Somebody posted a pic of a Marshy Dog concept which might mean Yamato continuing the line, but I doubt they will. Can anyone confirm any Votoms action from Yamato? They seem to be ending lines more quickly all the time if they do not hit their financial mark. Thought the Patlabor stuff looked like it was selling well, with a re-release of the first Ingram, but that looks done now too...
  14. DarrinG
    Nice - but not moved into a "Gotta Have It" state. Looks a little too crammed with detail - and those bumps on the feet / engines all the way around? Still - nice to see anything new from Mospeada. There will be a Tread if this flies off the shelves...
  15. DarrinG
    I would not go eBay for the better models like Turbo - just Yahoo Japan. But yeah - if you want to get one of the early releases go to eBay. They come up here for sale on MW regulary too. I got my 'big red box' turbo custom for about $150 with RinkYa Want the 2 Patlabor Ingrams though, they don't look to be dropping down much below $300...
  16. DarrinG
    The Wave Legioss box art will be cool to see. Hard to believe a company is going to start a line from this show right now. We should be grateful and supportive!
  17. DarrinG
    I would get this one: http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-n102264562 OR this one: http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-b122676168 You can see the prices for yourself... !
  18. DarrinG
    Yep - TREAD - sorry. That might talk me into getting into the line. They're come out with more and more if the Legioss and subsequent green and red versions sell well. Wave makes outstanding finished pieces, wish they would do this as a 1/55th WHAM figure...
  19. DarrinG
    Maybe they're giving themselves a little wiggle room in that they can do a Beta in Soldier and it won't be too big. Still - would rather them do something in the 1/48th / 155th range for many obvious reasons. A Inbit Scout or Trooper in 1/72 is micro - but 1/48th wouldn't be too bad and a definite buy...
  20. DarrinG
    1/72 is not a tempting scale. But anxious to see the sculpt differences from theirs and the old IMAI kits...
  21. DarrinG
    DMZ line never did the Brutish did they?
  22. DarrinG
    Hey wait - you're freaking right about these Wave figs - they can't be 1/12th? That would be Yamato size! Hang on a sec - the box is marked 1/12, never looked before at the scale, it didn't occur to me that it didn't make sense. Maybe they're more like 1/8th?? Here's a ratty cel phone pic to compare Wave with Yamato Cuvie...
  23. DarrinG
    !!!
  24. DarrinG
    They're both good but there are some differences. The orange outfit really goes great with the Brutish - and that's the suit she wore in the show while she piloted it. Must have. The purple version is called the 'space' version, it also includes the extra Chirico pieces but also a extra space oxygen pack. She wore this suit in many space scenes, piloting this scopedog with green face plate and round mover (below). I bought my purple Fyana on Yahoo Japan for 1 yen! Wish I could find this Scopedog for that price to go with her!
  25. DarrinG
    NO - 1/12. Thy are amazing, and can be found here on YahooJapan for a great price - the buyer will not be disappointed. I have never taken mine out of the box, maybe soon and I'll take some pics... http://www.rinkya.com/new/en/redirect?url=http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k139840370
