Got my replacement Tiny Stig Figure from Sentinel! It still falls apart when you look at it sideways, but they sent it to me, Free, with no hassle. Great customer service at any rate!

Prediction: after the release of the hikaru TV 1S, Bandai will quietly stop producing any new ones with no notice whatsoever. Macrossworld users will continue to wonder until Bandai ends up creating an entirely new line of toys where they put more metal and a higher price tag in and then release the same three Valkyries again.. ad infinitum.

The CM's is the one I think I have. Didn't they offer up a set of new, better intakes? I failed to purchase those. Has anyone done a 3D printer version? Also. that got me thinking. The Aoshima/Toynami (they are same/similar no?) Tread.. One of you guys has made an adaptor for putting that Tread on the Sentinel Legioss. Any plans for an adaptor from Sentinel to CMs tread? I only have the CMs but it looks close enough to try.

I gotta just weigh in a tiny bit. My yamato 1/60 is fine, but my 1/48ths are yellowed, they don't weigh enough so they feel -untoylike. and the arms are too skinny. I'd replace them all with Bandai's, they were good for the time. metal swing bar on the legs was best on the Yamato 1/48. The bar on the 1/60 took an engineering degree to transform, and the one on the Bandai pops off every transformation. that's cheating, skirting around the prefect transformation issue.

Just got my Missile set from NY .. Took 2 months, but I expected that as a chose ferry. Arrived alive. I am a little hesitant to order from them with all these horror stories. but they did get me my products.
-
I think maybe a month ago or so I had gotten through to them to ship it and decided to go ferry since I waited so long anyway. I have no earthly idea when it will arrive. Maybe 2021 sometime. That's not really on them.

Who is this lance fellow and why does he look so much like Yellow from Mospeada?
-
So, random a bit here.. I have been re-watching Mospeada.. im like 3 eps from the end.. and I see Yellow say 'when i was on Mars' . so it occurs to me.. I don't know the backstory.. Of course there's the episode where he gets the feminine disguise.. but he was on Mars? Was he a real soldier? Did he come in the first or second wave? Any documentation of this available?

Thanks! I have both the censored and uncensored Blu-Rays. Course one of them never gets watched, but hey at the time I didn't know the uncensored was coming. I currently have older subtitles so why not give yours a try. Pix for the doubters. Oh crap I hope HG doesn't sue my arm.
-
Ive got the old one right here. sounds like this (which i ordered and will keep too) is an incremental update. Always room for more Mospeada materials
-
Playing with my Beagle Stick figure today... Do you think it hurts when you extend your leg six-eight inches in length when transforming from riding to wearing your motorcyle?
-
One Tread here most likely. Blue. It's an easy line to draw since it's 'Anime Accurate' .. Been rewatching the show and they had the green legioss hooked up with the blue tread in an ep i watched yesterday. I'm a little concerned what a Sentinel Tread will cost. They are beautiful toys but they are investments and that thing's a lot bigger than legioss.

I have not heard back about my request for price or if I could possibly get a new Pilot figure from Sentinel. I wonder if: a. they didn't answer on purpose b. I emailed the wrong contact c. they are on a holiday d. other. Any ideas? Thanks!
-
Or just not having a pilot on the tread? I put the pilot from CM's in the Sentinel the other day. that was fun. Just to see. Yea way different scales though. but the plane itself is nearly the same. I think this is all just a simple case of 'anime magic' combined with 'it's a cartoon' I don't think the creators knew in the early 80's that near 40 years later we'd all be analyzing their work to this level. I am thankful to have a transforming Legioss that looks good in all three modes. It was overpriced, but then again, isn't everything?
-
just attempted fix. hope it worked.

Thanks for trying this out. I have contacted about a replacement pilot figure. Will happily par reasonable amount. I emailed from http://www.sentinel-toys.com/ form. the 'union creative' site seemed to be unable to process mail sends. In other news. I wrote it in English, put it in google translate, just to see what it would kind of look like.. and i am glad i did. "Stick" in quotation marks was translated as "f***ed" !!!! So i changed it to 'pilot' I took Japanese for a few semesters in college. i don't remember the words so much but i certainly know that error would not have gone down so well. Here's a pic of him painted so my posts aren't totally boring. He looks decent, but is even more inclined to fall apart since his limbs are attached with piano wire pins like i have done on a few resin kits (a lot thinner wire here tho!) Someone else had a better paint job that looked really nice. I didnt want to paint 100% of the figure, since i thought it would rub off, their's was nicer but this would have done if not for the breaking.
-
Let me know if you are selling those pilots. I may want to painte 1 up while seeing if i can get a replacement.
-
Thanks I'll try to get in touch with them.

So I know Bandai seems to hate us here in the USA, but I was wondering. Does Sentinel? I'd like to get my hands on a replacement for my 1/48 Legioss Pilot figure. He's too Flimsy and weak, and my attempts to improve him let do a better paint job. But tighter joints due to the paint. Head broke off and I pinned it like when you're doing a resin kit... Works but it bugs me. I have a friend who lives there who could probably 'receive' the pilot if I can figure out how to order one. Thoughts?
-
True. Now that you mention it.. Check out Mint's facial expression, she's HORRIFIED.
-
Seems legit. Its definitely pink next to the Legioss in Ep. 16. I just hope they dont make it Neon Pink in 1/12 scale Rey is yelling at Sentinel about the colors
-
Ones thing that has for me thinking about (rationalizing?) the cost of these figures, is that I build the model kits too. I haven't recently built a Mospeada kit. But I am building an orguss Orgroid from the old convertible kit. The kit cost maybe thirty-fifty bucks on eBay I had to hunt for a while. Then we add several bottles of Tamiya spray primer 11 or $12 each. 10 sanding sticks and so forth. Let's say ten bucks. What are you up to 70 or 80? Okay now I buy like $80 mr color thinners and paint cetera lacquer. Cool. Then we add in a million hours of labor. Then we add in finishing coats. And suddenly the prices don't seem nearly as crazy. of course I do enjoy doing all the work, but still even if you leave out labor hours that's close to the same money

Wow. So this afternoon I arbitrarily (ok I've been checking a couple times a day) checked HLJ and the Legioss Zeta was there and able to bhe purchased. Wondered why i hadn't gotten a bunch of mail from this thread. Turns out I'm not subscribed to it. Gotta remedy that NOW. That Pink figure is pretty weak, color-wise. Oh well. Maybe if the 1/12 ever comes out it will be nice looking. I have all the guy's Ride armors from various maker's but no Hoquet. Seems to either never get made cause the line ends, or sold out. I'm hoping it gets made before THIS line ends.
-
I've been wondering the same thing. I have the old one. if this has new material it might be worth it
-
I ordered the second wave missiles. Used the subject line in contact trick everyone has been talking about. I don't have them 'in hand yet' but they've sent them. I just said send by ferry cause $45 shipping on $60 worth of goods, especially just Missiles.. I just couldn't say YES this time. But they left and have been bouncing around various parts of Japan.
