CF18 Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 A Disclone like posable pilot figure is a big surprise. Quote
Mommar Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 It shows up in the search at HLJ but the page won't come up yet. Same price as hobbysearch. Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I never realized how complicated the landing gear on the Legioss was, not liking that at all. Just my opinion doesn't have to be yours. Quote

Convectuoso Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Does Hobby Search ask for upfront payment? Quote

Mommar Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I'd prefer HLJ get theirs listed so I can ship via FedEx. Quote

Atomski Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I'll preorder at BBTS, they will have up for preorder in a few days. Quote

sqidd Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Reserved three. It looks like I decided to get back into the toy thing right on time. First the Bandai DX VF-1's then this! Quote

They're pretty good, just don't try cancelling post 7 days of your pre-order, they get real pissy. HLJ is probably best for foreigners overall, native English speaking staff is a real plus too (for when things go wrong). Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Soooo glad I never bought any of the Evo Toys. This Legioss looks really amazing and the new take on the cockpit really solved the issues of the elongated nose profile when in soldier mode. I hope this line is a success and we get to see a Tled down the line. Just not too far off. Pretty excited about this release. Quote

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I have to get used to how large the front half of fighter mode looks compared to the rear. Certainly not a deal breaker by any stretch of the imagination, and I have enough confidence in Sentinel that this will be a solid release. I'm definitely in for one! Quote
blackconvoy_D01 Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 The Riobot Legioss+Tread+Yellow with my current Stick= Complete!! Quote

I don't do the "whole line" thing like a,lot of people seem to enjoy (I'm not knocking it). For example it seems a lot of people want the whole VF-1 DX Vermilion Squadron. That doesn't do anything for me. I go with what I think looks cool and/or has nostalgia value and get one in each mode I like so I can display them all at once. Fore example I have three Yamato 1/48 VF-1S Roy's. One for each mode. But I only have two Ivanov and two Nora's because I only like the look of Fighter and Gerwalk. The SV-51 Battroid doesn't do it for me. Quote

So you don't care for color/look of the other fighters so you're just going with blue for all three modes? Quote

I'm not a "one color" guy by any means. I love all of the SV-51's for example. But it's because I like how they look. Not because I'm attached to a particular color, character or drive to have "the whole fleet". If/when they release more of these I'll see what turns me on and go from there. Right now I like the blue because it looks good to me, and it has the added bonus of a lot nostalgia going for it. I'm kind of a weird cat. Quote
