jenius Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 There was one in the box on eBay France not too long ago... I think it went for 2kish. Quote

Yep... that one is mine. Sure brings the memories back. My email address on that page was actually my first work email. I'm now in my forth job and I no longer use work emails for such things.

Saw this as well. Didn't they used to go for around double that price a decade or so ago? Quote
Hoptimus Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Before the CM and Toynami Tread's were out that old Gakken/Landsay Tread would catch a mint on Ebay. Quote
Benson13 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 What's funny is that it's not that much worse than the Toynami version. Quote
niomosy Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 What's funny is that it's not that much worse than the Toynami version. But I can at least afford the Toynami version I'll be picking one up soon but I'd heard pretty good comments about the Beta. Quote
blackconvoy_D01 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 That shouldn't be too bad, then. My blue Alpha has held up pretty well over the years so the Beta's shortcomings shouldn't be a huge deal. Though, I am tempted. There's been a lot of Aoshima Legioss/Tread combos up for sale pretty cheap. I kind of want to get one just to check it out. Speaking of: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121110719527?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_44wt_1170 Quote

I've already got the blue Alpha so I'd have an extra. Funny thing is, the 3yo would love a blue Alpha. Every time she sees the Robotech opening credits she chimes in that it's her favorite toy. She hasn't asked to play with mine yet, though. Might pick her up a morpher and leave it at that. She's been decent with the Valkyrie morphers. Quote

She's been decent with the Valkyrie morphers. I would not give that, or any other toy outside of a low end TF to a 3 yo. I thought it was cute to let my daughter play around my Brave Max once, she stuffed it with food. Aside from that she could break something off and hurt herself. Quote
Hoptimus Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 What's funny is that it's not that much worse than the Toynami version. Uhhhh. No. The Landsay/Gakken Tread has literally no articulation or Detail. The Toynami is really well made(Their only good Variable product). The only area where the CM Tread beats the Toynami is the waist/knee joints and the hidden missiles and Cockpit in Battroid. Toynami is the proper scale to the 1/55(1/60) Alpha/Legioss also. Quote

The transforming/grown-up toys all reside in the office out of the reach of my little ones. It would likely stay there and they'd play with them only when supervised. They'd get full access later once older. Quote
DarrinG Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Did someone on here get this kit through RinkYa? 5,500 yen is a good price! https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-j237113039 Quote
sbantonelli Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Here's a second one that someone on rinkya bought for only 2000 yen. And here's another for sale. https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-c402416171 Quote
DarrinG Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I don't care for it much, guess so do many other folks... Quote
DarrinG Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Maybe I need to see it painted and assembled. Somebody do that and post a pic! Quote
sbantonelli Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I don't care for it much, guess so do many other folks... I don't care for it much either. The model is very angular and the proportions seem off, but for $20.00, I may just pick one up if I can "fix" it. Quote
Gakken85 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 What are the chances of getting more Ride Armor Masterpieces from Toynami? I know Beagle went under, but it would be nice to have more entries in the series. I don't understand why they put Rand out after Scott.. as they are essentially the same toy. They should have released Rook or Lancer to make it feel like people were getting a new toy. Anyway, does anybody know more about Toynami's release schedule? Quote

I was told a Toymani rep at one of the hobby/toy shows said that if Beagle are finished with the 1/10 Ride Armors then so are they. Beagle underwent liquidation a while ago. Quote

Makes sense given Beagle did the work and Toynami was reaping the benefit. Sad that Beagle was liquidated. Anyone know what happened to the molds? Quote
mechaninac Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 They were sold, I'm sure; but whether to some other toy company (opening the possibility for a future re-pop under a new brand, at least in Japan) or for scrap, I have no idea. Quote
Gakken85 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 So sad. Yeah it makes sense that those Jackals at Harmony Gold would do that with Toynami. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Any updates on the replacement hands for the Toynami Alphas? Quote
RD Blade Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 He gave a progress update in another thread. He said it doesn't look good. Quote
VF5SS Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 sorry for the lack of updates. i came down with the con flu after Anime Boston. As it stands the articulated thumb seems to be too fiddly to do in shapeways at this small of a scale. The articulated knuckles work alright barring shapeways deleting the hole that's supposed to be there. I'm not sure if I can make the hand fold up enough to fit inside the forearm so i'm wondering would you guys be interested in plug in hands that work or do you want me to keep at trying to get them to fold up? Quote
CoreyD Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Personally, I'm fine with plug in hands. The 80% solution is still better than the crumbling Toynami hands. Quote
RD Blade Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I've seen it before. I'm curious to see it as armor. sorry for the lack of updates. i came down with the con flu after Anime Boston.

Lobizon Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Just saw this on Tumblr. Thought it was cool.Aramaki designed it, http://www.bbb-bike.com/mospeada/ . Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 It's amazing to me that Mosepeda hasn't been rebooted yet. Any anime with motorcycles would be a huge success in America, or could be if done right. Quote
