Feyd-Rautha Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 gawd how did I MISS THIS?!!!!!!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT hmmm ..........i bet the seller still has it. how much do you think he wants??? sorry if you guy already saw this- Quote
trueblueeyes Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Yep, it was mentioned a while back in the Auctions section. Wish I had one, and I would actually pay that and more for one. I just don't know if I would want that one as it looks a little rough... Quote
MGREXX Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 screw this expensive, damaged and small piece of plastic. Wait until this fall and you can have a 1/55 scale Beta/Thread MPC for about $200.00 from the not so fine folks at Toynami. We know that the box will at least be cool. . Seriously, if they keep up the quality of the Alpha MPC's, then the Beta might be worth the hefty price tag. Hell, it will even connect to the Alpha/Legioss!!!!! ........hmmmm, I wonder how many Alha/Beta (Legioss/thread) "connecting" jokes there are out there. Quote
Legioss Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 The Legioss that goes with it was packaged with the Tread. It's supposed to be all one toy. Quote
trueblueeyes Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 The Legioss that goes with it was packaged with the Tread. It's supposed to be all one toy. He's right. All the Lansay tread toys were packaged with the small 1/72 legioss toys that they connected with. All the Lansay tread toys were apparently available only in blue, although our resident Mospeada toy expert Carl says that some of the legioss toys packaged with them in the double box included the blue, red, and green ones.

Kin Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) I'd rather use that money to create a lansay project myself. Edited March 6, 2005 by Kin Quote

And where, pray tell, do you come by this ETA for the, AFAIK un-annouced, MPC Beta? Inquiring minds want to know. It's not that I don't believe you, but on the matter of the Beta ever actually seeing the light of day I'm extremely skeptical...especially since, IIRC, a prototype has yet to be shown. Quote
Vespaeda Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 hEAR!, hEAR!!, Senator Kin. Thank you for correcting the spin on the Council. Have you ever touched your paper Legioss again? I've only have time/resources to muddle around w/R/C planes and have been watching everyone else experiment w/mech modelling. Quote
wwwmwww Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 And where, pray tell, do you come by this ETA for the, AFAIK un-annouced, MPC Beta? Inquiring minds want to know. Yes, add me to the list of inquiring minds. I've heard several stories myself but at this point nobody has given me any reason to believe they are any more then just stories. Don't get me wrong... I hope you are right. I'd just like to see some proof. Carl Quote

Just wanting to give credit where credit is due. Thanks, Carl Quote

And MGREXX, count me in as curious about your source. I'd like to know if it is a guess, info from Toynami or RT officials, or just from the voices in your head. j/k Seriously, I'd love to see a tread/beta from Toynami but I am not holding my breath. I'd think if they were really serious about producing one, we would have seen a prototype or mockup long ago. After all, I am admittedly no toy design expert, but it doesn't seem as if it would easy to design a beta to link up with the alphas without some forethought put into the alpha design from the beginning. And I've yet to see anything on the production alphas that look as if it could be connection points to a beta. Quote
Feyd-Rautha Posted March 7, 2005 Author Posted March 7, 2005 blast that mpc voltron! getting in the way of my beta/tread DREAMS!!!! Quote

Believe me Godzilla, despite my cynicism there isn't a toy I'd love to see more than a tread/beta. I do still have a fervent hope that Toynami will produce one, but I would not be suprised if they don't. Some may have more faith in Toynami that I do but I'll let the following quote from David T. Wolf speak for me: Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows Quote
