Ride Armor color is too dark blue. And the extra exhaust is too much. Still hope there's a chest missile gimmick still. As for the Legioss, I can't help thinking that somehow the proportion is closer to Wave's kit than the other figure version. But overall, I'm loving what I see here. Now I'm thinking if I need to get 2 for Legioss. If only if it's $50 cheaper. Quote
seti88 Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Yea after looking at ur color choice, Noel, the dark blue could be a tad lighter. I suppose it’s the cheapest blue in toy land, something like the vf-0D blue. Liking the legioss sculpt Looks really chunky like... so many decisions to make...sigh...might have to sacrifice chuck for this... Quote

frankell05 Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 any of these stuff up for pre order yet? Also, a while ago on this thread, somebody posted a pic of a toy in development, i think it was a large scale vynil legioss. does anybody have any news on that? Cheers Quote
danth Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 So what's with the clip on the back of the Legioss's forearm? Is that where the Tread attaches? Quote

Convectuoso Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I like the way it looks, but I'm not sure if it's worth ¥29.000 Quote
jenius Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I think it's 25k... And with discounts probably less. Quote
Duymon Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I am in for one blowsup. gonna skip the legioss for now Quote
lechuck Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I'm only interested in the Legioss jets. It's part of the shows title, but the Mospeada bikes have always left me cold. Quote

SuperSenpai Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Do we have any word on whether the markings on the Legioss will be stickers or printed? The price on the Legioss is a bit high for my liking (though not a complete deal breaker), but it could be more palatable if it turns out that they took a page from Bandai's playbook and printed everything.

There's a big chance that it's mostly tampoed. I don't remember the bikes came with some optional stickers. And seeing that new Legioss pics... Oh yes, I'm IN! Quote

Roy Focker Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I love the bikes. As for the jet. I prefers valkyries but the legioss is still a cool design. I know it's going to be premium price and that giant size head may keep me away from getting one. Quote

If only for that one instance, I'm greatful that marketing sense kicked-in. Otherwise it would have been awkward seeing the Mars soldiers diving to earth on only their MOSPEADAs. Quote

For one, I don't own a Legioss figure. Didn't get a chance of owning a Gakken back in the 80's when it came out nor having the CM's releases. Read about stuff about the Toynami releases. I had high hopes about the Evolution release until I read and watch videos of it. Since I have the Sentinel Ride Armors, I really appreciate Sentinel's take on it in the overall quality of it. So this time, I'm ready to own one. I'm pretty sure it's not the perfect Legioss compared to the lineart and other toy incarnation. And I'm already liking how the Fighter mode looks in the early stage of prototype. I like how short it is compared to Evolution. So I'm willing to take a chance on this. Quote

Mommar Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I really hope the Legioss is a solid release. I’m finding myself getting more and more hyped for it. Quote

Sorry, I guess I misremembered. I thought the plane at that point in time wasn't transformable, but just a somewhat generic fighter (and a burner vehicle, as you said). Quote
jenius Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 I'm sure there were lots of iterations, maybe the earlier ones had basic planes but the Legioss went through several iterations and was less of a weekend design where the tread was definitely a last minute slap on. Quote

I didn't know that but the bikes were the main point of the show for me as well. I know I didn't start the show from the first episode. That was a pattern with me and most cartoons. I think it was either the Separate Ways episode or the 3rd episode on the abandoned island. That 3rd episode was another reason I was upset about the old toy. Scott jumping around buildings in the Cyclone was so cool and I wanted that toy. When the toy kept crumbling I was disgusted. As a kid I thought the toy should be sturdy enough to behave like in the cartoon. But that whole travel feel of Mospeada / New Generation is what made the show for me. Being on the bikes and going from location to location. Getting into different adventures and situations. Quote

easnoddy Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) As many Mospeada items have come out over the years and are coming out (moreso given its proximity to Macross and somewhat fervent following), Mospeada could probably use its own sub-board. Either that or split the Sci-Fi and Anime into separate boards. Edited February 20, 2019 by easnoddy clarification Quote
jenius Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) They confirmed it was just a typo but at this size is really irrelevant. You're pondering about a few mm. Edited February 20, 2019 by jenius Quote

As our erstwhile Captain America has already proved, Tatsunoko just "faked it 'til you make it" with the official Legioss dimensions to begin with... so the stated scales have always been rather useless and irrelevant, really, since they're so inconsistently applied. Having a proper height measurement in Armo-Soldier mode would be far more practical. Quote
