Mospeada kits

[Retracting Head Ter Ter]

Was there ever any Legioss kits made for pure fighter mode?

[bsu legato]

Imai made little 1/72 scale kits of each of the three modes. They were rereleased a few years ago, just before Imai went bankrupt, and you can probably still find them on eBay or our own For Sale section.

OK thanks! I seen the armo-diver and armo soldier kits, just never seen the fighter mode.

There were also some LS kits too. I don't think I've ever seen them on ebay, and I believe they are 1/100 scale (definitely smaller than the Imai kits).

You're looking in the wrong place.

Here is the green one for about $5:

And the blue one is in this auction with several other kits:

There are two. The NewType kit and the Monocraft kit. Go here for pics:

Come to think of it I believe these claim to be 1/72 scale kits though I'm not sure that's accurate at the moment. Anyways the authorized kit is the Monocraft kit. NewType bought the master for that kit, improved it a little, and then started selling it here in the States. To be honest I'm not sure if he ever paid anyone a license to do that though. The time I asked him about it I believe he said something to the effect that it was still covered under the Monocraft licence as it came from the same mold. Thing was Monocraft never had a license to sell it in the US. Anyways that beside the point you want to know where to find one. I've only ever seen two of the Monocraft kits and believe it or not it wasn't on Yahoo Japan. They were on eBay. The NewType kit was sold here so you wouldn't expect to find it on Yahoo Japan and it's probably the kit you want. It can be used to build a stand alone Tread where as with the Monocraft kit you don't really have that option. I know Ken here has recasted my Newtype kit before but I think his molds are shot and he's sold out. Newtype I believe is also long sold out of this kit and I'm not even sure they are still in business. The two best places I could send you would probably be eBay or the wanted section of these forums. I'm sure there are several here that have an original or one of Ken's recasts.

Good luck,

Carl

I;ve been looking for the blue alpha in fighter mode to complete the trio of kits..

I was not thinking of the 1/72, which I have both, but a 1/100. I saw on a website where a 1/100 Legioss Tread was made by some garge company Lark, I think.

Well I'm not familiar with that one. Atleast I don't think I am. The name Lark does sound very familiar to me though. If there is a Legioss Tread kit out there that I don't have I *MUST* know more. Off to see what I can find.

Ok, I found what you saw. Its here:

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/Resea...ada/Models.html

Anyone know who's webpage that is? It's very nice.

Anyways I'm now about 95% sure the Lark IS the Monocraft kit. In one of the older Hobby Magazines there is a picture of the Monocraft kit. Its EXACTLY that picture that is cut out and put over clouds to make the picture seen on the above site. Anyways I'd have the find the Magazine to be 100% sure but I believe they call it a Lark-Monocraft kit. If you notice the kit is listed at 5800 yen. Check out the side of the Monocraft kit.

See the 5800 in the lower left?

If I remember correctly the particular buildup that is pictured there has an article about it's construction in another magazine. What you see is actually a Monocraft Tread attached to a Imai Legioss with some scratch building as I recall. I think the 1/100 may be stated in one of these places but I believe its a typo.

P.S. While hunting I found this again. It's a link I've long since lost:

http://www.cooljapanesetoys.com/clubcjt/03_00/mospeda.cfm

I still remember the first time I read this. Only the God of Really Cool Transforming Toys knows for sure. Hmmm...

The other part of this that still pokes as me is this "Apparently a bucketful of these parts were spirited out of the Gakken offices and assembled on the sly; a dozen or so, in three colors, were put together and rapidly dispersed into the anime-fan community." The person I bought mine from knew where a red one was but he wouldn't photograph it for me till after I paid for it and he wanted something like $20,000 for it. I've never had a good lead on a green one. However I've heard of another collection in Japan (again the owner won't let it be photographed) that contains a Shadow Gakken Legioss and Tread. They weren't for sale and yes I've asked.

Well, that just sucks. I've been looking around for not. I've modified one of the Newtype kits with an Imai 1/72 Legioss. You can see it at Starshipmodeler under the Red Planet Contest.

If you come across any news about any Legioss and Tread kits or Tread kits could you please let me know. Thanks.

Hmmm... when I went to Hong Kong during holiday in 1997, I've noticed a few Mospeada modelkits in different small modelshops in shoppingmalls.. now I regret not to have bought some of it. The prices were very very low due to bad economy.

I focused way to much on macross 15th anniversary

Looks very good. Thanks for sharing.

And yes if I learn of any more Legioss and Tread kits I'll be more then happy to share. They are my favorite subject. I've long wished Studio HalfEye would would take a stab at them.

Carl

P.S. Then again if this project was ever able to be finished I'd be in hevean.

Hmmm... maybe I should say the hevean of Really Cool Transforming Toys. Or models as the case may be.

Yeah. I'm waiting for the ultimate Legioss as well. Maybe someday it will appear.
