A 1/48 VF-1 is about 254mm/10". I'm not sure that's a good spec. Sounds about right. A Legioss is supposed to be around 8 mts, so 1/48 should be around 16 cm. There's no sense in comparing it to the VF-1, since it's a lot shorter than it. Quote
Dobber Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Nice!! Went with Amazon.jp as well. Can’t beat that price once shipping is factored in. I also agree, the nose section is a tad big/over scaled compared to the rest of the fighter but still acceptable. Could’ve been better but the Legioss was never the most attractive fighter IMO.

If sentinel ever makes a tread, then that would boost up the size considerably. Not sure how much a tread would then cost tho... Quote

Tread. $325 I'll assume. Quote

jenius Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Need the VTOL delete too! Hope we see it some day. Quote
Axelay Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks for all of the helpful links! I decided to go with Anime Export ($215 USD) on this one. No telling what the shipping will be, but I'll post here once it updates. Hope I don't get screwed on the fee. Quote
Mommar Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Man, I hope this is a solid release. Very few things really get me excited but that Soldier mode really gets me going. Especially the tiny articulated pilot emerging. Quote
tekering Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Sentinel is claiming 1:48, which would suggest they're as large as the Evolution Toys Legioss... when in fact, they're as small as the Toynami Alphas, making them closer to 1:60. Quote

Thanks, IIRC this is going to be about the same size as the MOSPEADA’s, right? At work so I can’t look it up. Quote

ET is 1/32... Toynami is about 1/50 so very similar in size. Edited November 18, 2019 by jenius Quote
Mog Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Damn, I really don’t want to reinvest in another Legioss. But it looks oh so good! Not exactly the pose I envisioned to show off the joint strength and posing options, but if the Legioss can hold this with no issues, we might have a winner: And if they add a Tread to this, I’ll be kicking myself for not buying it.

Masked Aviator Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Totally how many jet fighters in Mospeada? Three? Green, Blue, Red? Thanks. Edited November 18, 2019 by Masked Aviator Quote

The main seven had three Legiosses and one Tread. The Green can be viewed as the CF version. Plus, there’s the additional black Shadow version (both a manned and drone version) that shows up at the end. Quote

Chronocidal Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Quite a few in the thread, ranging from around $215 on up. I'll probably skip on the green version, but I'll totally be down for a red one if it's done, and that gray version would be a no-brainer. Seriously, I've almost never even given the Legioss a second glance in any incarnation, but this thing just blows all the other iterations away in appearance. Quote
Sildani Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 PO’d at BBTS. After 30+ years, Sentinel did it! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) as soon as i saw the photos in my social media feed i knew that resistance was futile. amazon.jp PO placed! (btw do most here order in yen or usd?) he legioss is that design that draws me in again and again. yes it has a big head and its a little too squat for me, but GODDAMN it looks good...especially the fighter mode. The downward sloping wings look good actually, although its a little too much i think....also not sure how that would look with the tlead attached if they make it. wonder if it can go one "click" up to even? can anyone photoshop that head smaller? i know its a niche market but i hope somebody will make a smaller head for this guy Edited November 18, 2019 by Mechapilot77 Quote

Amazon does a straight conversion. You won't get away with anything being smaller. Nippon-Yasan will WAY overcharge you if you pay in Dollars versus yen and I'll always pay in yen there. Quote

(btw do most here order in yen or usd?) If you have a card that does not charge foreign transaction fees (like amex and high end cards like the chase sapphire), always go for the foreign currency, your card company will give you a much better rate than the store. At today's rate, I'm looking at Amazon about $230 shipped. Of course with pay latter, you're always at the mercy of the exchange rate six months down the line.

lechuck Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Looks fantastic, pre-ordered two of these. Are we witnessing something historic here, a Mospeada Legioss usurping the legendary Macross VF-1 as best transforming jet fighter!? TOTY 2020! Quote
