danth Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 So guys, is there any news about the Toynami Beta? It's slated for 3rd quarter '08, which is coming up soon (July-Sept, though I'm sure it'll be September or later).
jenius Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Don't hold your breath. The 1/100 stuff was due out in April and it hasn't hit stores yet. I think it's safe to say we're going to see delays across the Toynami board. If I owned a toy store I wouldn't bother doing preorders on Toynami goods, they've never once come close to hitting a release date. I think the one sure fire way to know when something is going to be released by Toynami is to watch the Robotech.com store. They still haven't put a single thing up for sale from Toynami's updated release schedule... not one preorder = nothing coming any time soon.
Vermillion21 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Crapnami has been promoting their Beta at various anime/toy/scifi conventions for like what, 3 years now? As Jenius mentioned: don't hold your breath. They'll release it like maybe 5 years from now ....
danth Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Don't worry guys, my question was semi-facetious, and I would be shocked if the thing came out on time. Or ever.
007-vf1 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I believe I asked this before but not sure it was on this tread. What's the best looking beta/ tread for the 1/48 Imai legioss?
Neova Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 007-vf1, There is only 1 tread out now and thats from CMs. It doesn't look bad but is expensive and the locking mechanism is a hack at best to their Legioss fighter. Checkout Jenius site for the tread review and pictures.
gilermo Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 The pride and joy of my mospeada collection love the originals (japanese)
jenius Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Ooh an authentic Japanese ride armor... me likey. Any chance you want to take a picture of the front and back of the box and a close up of the manufacturer's Gakken of Japan stamp on the toy for me so I can add them to my review on Anymoon.com?

Sure no prob I'm watching the game right now, The Netherlands - France Euro 2008. but after that i'll make some pics.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 So whats the chances of CM or another company other than "onethatmustnotbespokenof" (harrypotteresque) lol for bringing us the Condor?? Wouldn't that be awesome, the Condor in scale with the legioss/tread CM...
Vermillion21 Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Want some... MH Houquet.... news.... now. me too ...
gilermo Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I cannot believe i won this lot on ebay for a measely $140!!!!!! look at the auction here I am keeping the 2 gakken Alpha's and maybe the giant cyclone, The rest i'm selling. Anyone interested?
gilermo Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I might be interested in the 2 mode blue legioss You mean the diecast one?
Anavel Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Yes, it is next to the large ride armor in your pictures.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I've never seen that small Gakken Triple Change blue Legioss, the one in the box with the sticker sheet peeping out. Is it any good? I can see it lacks detail, but does it transform nicely, like the 1/35? Good catch by the way, Guilermo!
bluecyclone Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'll take the large Cyclone if you don't want it, I could use an extra one to open. PM me.
gilermo Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'll take the large Cyclone if you don't want it, I could use an extra one to open. PM me. Thanks for the kind reactions everyone. I'll answer all your qustions as soon as they arrive. In the mean time, keep em comming I still can't believe almost nobody wanted this

They don't look that great, lack of detail, but they are old end still mospeada collectables for whomever is looking for all gakken stuff.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) no new pics of the Blowsperier? Edited June 20, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Jepoyako Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Gilermo, so what do you have that's still for sale?
gilermo Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Gilermo, so what do you have that's still for sale? only the small legiosses are spoken for. i'm waiting for everything to arrive before selling. I'll let you know as soon as they are here.
fifbeat Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Man, i finally decided to transform the MH Ride armor (for the first time). Fawking looks fantastic! Now I know where my $50 went. =)
Shun Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) 1/10 Beagle Mospeada Article says price not confirmed but is around the 20,000yen range. Nov release. Source: WalkerMachine Edited June 23, 2008 by Shun
gilermo Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Finaly!!!!! new pics!!!! Thank you sooooooo much.. 20,000 yen? thats around 120 euro's... SOLD!!! i'm getting 2 that's for sure!!
Sam Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 looks great coloured up. very serious looking stig face hehe. that seems like a reasonable price too IMO. Wonder how playable it will be, or whether things will tend to 'fall off' when posing Looking forward to having at least one though!
fifbeat Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Well, darn, who is the idiot who started the $600 rumor? About $200 u.s...... im there. =) (with that said, the MH version still "looks" the best in transformed mode)
Tober Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Well, darn, who is the idiot who started the $600 rumor? About $200 u.s...... im there. =) (with that said, the MH version still "looks" the best in transformed mode) Agreed. But the Beagle still looks great in both modes
EXO Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 I'm not really into the MH versions. I like the head sculpts and the color but the sculpt of the bike and the bodies are a big turn off. Now the beagle! WOWEEWOW! I'm a bit disappointed that the tires don't have treads like their CAD drawings do. And I still don't like the red on the legs. I've never seen line art that had red between the leg armors. Aside from that it looks great. Even with the small feet. I feel like the smaller feet are probably closer to real world if they ever built that thing. And most imprtantly it looks great riding the bike. Something that no other mospeada toy has ever achieved.
danth Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, finally some news. It looks great, just needs some tread on those tires. Hopefully after this, Beagle will do more Mospeada mecha.
eriku Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 The Beagle does look really great, but I'll probably give it a pass. Believe it or not the CM's release has satisfied my desire for a ride armor toy.
