Gubaba Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Lil ol me 'get out'? You might be missing all my sarcasm, such as hiding a giant destroys monster with shadow tech and so on. I'm a Mospeada fan through and through, as you can tell by my using Legioss instead of RT terminology above. But you will notice that this thread often contrasts the Toynami offerings against the true Japanese counterparts. I think most Mospeada fans are at least mildly interested in new releases, even if they're called Betas instead of Treads... I saw your sarcasm and was playing along...sorry, I thought you got that.

DarrinG Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I should put "You don't mean me do you?" from the first ep of RB! Anyway - I'm torn on the Shadow Beta. I think I too will wait until it goes on deep sale. If they were smart they were make very few to spur more orders up front. Does anyone have a side view of the Legioss in Soldier and how the cockpit re-configs? Where does the canopy glass go? Or is this just anime magic... Quote
Mommar Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 http://wildcats.pupu...7/post_350.html bigger than I thought. Wait, what is this thing again? I want. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 WAVE 1/72 Scale Legioss - Non-transforming... Quote
DarrinG Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 The ARCADIA 1/72 GOSU from WF to go with it... Quote
s001 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 WAVE 1/72 Scale Legioss - Non-transforming... Wow cooler than the macross ones. Quote
Mommar Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 WAVE 1/72 Scale Legioss - Non-transforming... Oh, thanks I see it's that model kit. I almost got excited because I thought it was a toy. Quote
akim Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Wow cooler than the macross ones. Check this same topic, page15 and you'll see the 3 boxes..thanks to Tober: http://www.macrosswo...ndpost&p=977359 Quote
jenius Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Darrin, maybe I missed it, where were those Shadow Beta pics taken? Comic-con? I'll bite the bullet and buy one when it's released but more out of curiosity's sake than anything. Quote
DarrinG Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Yep - Taken at Comic-con. The fried egg eyes show up even more on the gray shadow scheme to me. Once these 3D printer guys get some bandwidth we need a chest cover for these Treads. No mention or pre-order on RB.com? That seems odd... Quote
ps99042 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 No mention or pre-order on RB.com? That seems odd... Typical if you ask me. Maybe the site still isn't safe after the recent hack? Quote
RD Blade Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Hard to believe Toynami is still producing Robotech stuff. They seem to have squandered so many opportunities to repair their reputation. Add to that, their MPC Voltron Base with sound that's been on pre-order forever has finally been officially cancelled. Instances like that will keep collectors' expectations dismal and low. Quote
Einherjar Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Maybe this thread needs scans of the mecha from the Palladium RPG books. Hard to believe Toynami is still producing Robotech stuff. They seem to have squandered so many opportunities to repair their reputation. I thought they were still trying to do that with the Robotech plushies that were revealed at Comic-Con. Quote
s001 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Check this same topic, page15 and you'll see the 3 boxes..thanks to Tober: http://www.macrosswo...ndpost&p=977359 Thank you very much man. My God! That guy's as good as Tenjin. Quote
Tober Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 More Pics... Are those your kits? That Gosu actually looks really good painted up. Quote
RD Blade Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I thought they were still trying to do that with the Robotech plushies that were revealed at Comic-Con.Heh. I'm sure Toynami's reputation is just fine with the likes-oddly-themed-plushies demographic. Edited August 2, 2012 by RD Blade Quote
DarrinG Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Are those your kits? That Gosu actually looks really good painted up. Not my kit - but I bet I could get you one of the 1/72s for about $275 I'm more after the 1/48 scale Gosu, Scouts and Enforcers from CurioCraft... Quote
Tober Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Not my kit - but I bet I could get you one of the 1/72s for about $275 I'm more after the 1/48 scale Gosu, Scouts and Enforcers from CurioCraft... That's out of my budget, for a 1/72 anyway. Do you have a link/pic for the 1/48 kits? (At one point I was contemplating making my own...) Quote
DarrinG Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Can't find the link but here are some pics of the CurioCraft 1/48 Inbits... Quote
akim Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w77150703 Quote
DarrinG Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Was thinking of bidding on that one. Would pay a lot more than if E2046 manages to get them in later. Looks bigger than it is in this pic. Bet it can comfortably fit in the palm of your hand... Quote
Tober Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Some of those look great, especially the shock trooper. Thanks! Quote
derex3592 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Finally got around to getting a cheap Red Beta Tlead/Tread whateverthehell you wanna call it. Got a low # Masterpiece (#433) off Amazon for $75 new in box. Couldn't pass it up...Red Beta's get NO love! ...so i panel lined and stickered him up tonight! Now....gotta track down a green one for cheap....doesn't look like it's gonna be easy either,,, If anybody's got one for sale...hit me up! Edited August 11, 2012 by derex3592 Quote
Benson13 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I still wish I had a Alpha/Beta combo unfortunately all I have is a Shadow Fighter. Quote
Benson13 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 So I checked Amazon and it seems that the deal for that Beta is the only legit price on there. Everything else is a damn crime. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 You owe it to urself to get at least one Beta---they are no Yamato product...but they are cool for what they are.. Quote
ps99042 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 but if all u have is a shadow fighter like Benson13, wait for the shadow beta which should be out before the end of the year. unless toynami amd HG are screwing with us again... Quote

I read about it but I have zero faith. On top of that I'm not willing to pay the $160 MSRP when I can pick up an Alpha/Beta set for less than that. Thanks for the heads up though, I'm more than prepared for the screwing. Quote
stormofdragons Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 More Pics... Wow... DarrinG, Where did you get that model, and who do I have to bribe to get one? (as in, do you have a link to a seller?) Became a Fan of Mospeada when I was in college, and have never been able to get over the fact that they were so poorly supported by any of the toy or model companies. I'd love to own something like that. Quote
Mog Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Finally got around to getting a cheap Red Beta Tlead/Tread whateverthehell you wanna call it.

Now....gotta track down a green one for cheap....doesn't look like it's gonna be easy either,,, If anybody's got one for sale...hit me up! It's an absolute crime that Toynami didn't make those Jupiter/Mars Base emblems and number stickers bigger for the wings. Bigger emblems and numbers really make the Beta's wings stand out so much more. Quote
EXO Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 If making toys was a crime, there's a life sentence waiting for Toynami. Quote
Mog Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 ^^We can shave a few years off the sentence for them finally making a solid Beta. Or maybe making the Beta prevented them from getting the death penalty. Quote
EXO Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 TO quote the Invid Regess From RT... (or paraphrase, it's been a while.) Annihilate them! Annihilate them!!! Quote
