varitechs Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Beta Fighter from Toynami/Aoshima is very good, it's just Alpha/legioss who are a little fragile. (Except the Maia V2) Quote
SuperSenpai Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 And "handled with a lot of care" translates to "even breathing on it will cause it to fall apart". Just because it's a collector's item does not excuse the shockingly bad construction/design/quality of materials that went into this thing. This. The problem with the MPC Alphas has to do with materials, design, and build quality, not that it's a "collector's piece". According to Anymoon.com, many owners received broken Alphas out of the box. And the excuse that the MPCs are collector's pieces that require delicate handling doesn't fly when you consider all the other "collector's pieces" out there that can withstand much more aggressive handling than the MPCs. Look at the Yamato VFs, Masterpiece Transformers, or even the MPC Cyclones. I'm not saying any one of those can be given to a child to throw and smash around, but they will stand up to FAR more posing and transformation than an MPC Alpha. Quote
varitechs Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 you right, it's not an excuse but it's the reality with Toynami MPC Perhaps i had chance but, personally, i never had a "big" problem with MPC alpha and however i opened several MPC Alpha... But as i know there are fragile, i always handled with great care.. On the other side, when i received 18 Aoshima legioss in 2007, 75% was loose, bad assembly, broken, even with missing part... a disaster. Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Well I loved the Playability of the CM combo but the Toys overall lacking. The Legioss was a froppy mess and although the Tread was amazing its Link up was terrible. That made it for me like a 5/10 Toynami/Aoshima has a Nice looking Legioss that is marred by engineering problems for durability. I have the Red one and it has only been transformed a handful of times but so far is okay. Mostly stays in Armo Fighter since I have it hooked up to a magnificent Red Tread. The Toynami/Aoshima Tread is amazing except that the cockpit is not as slick as the CM but more in proportion. Overall I give this pair a 6/10 Now if I could get the CM build with the Toynami/Aoshima design and improved a bit in a 1/55-1/35 scale that would be amazing. I wish I could have afforded Captains Legioss kit. Quote
JetJockey Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Reshaped ass with new thruster This is beautiful work. I need to go back and see how you are putting this together. Quote
Lobizon Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Today is the day! Happy 30th anniversary! 1983-10-02 Quote
Alex Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Today is Mospeada's birthday?! Mospeada, dude! I'm gonna take you out for your first Ley. We're gonna teach you how to properly Fuke with that Stick. Gonna pay a Mint for a classy lady but it'll be worth it. You should go to the fetish store first and pick up some Ride Armor. And if you're really into that kind thing we can pay her to Tread on your Belmonts. I'll show you where a woman's Reflex Point is, if you want.... ..ok, that's enough of that. Quote

Alex Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Just a bit. Man, it's depressing knowing Macross gets all the 30th anniversary attention and Mospeada gets nothing. Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Yeah good ol Mospeada. When I met Amano at San Diego Comic Con in 2007 I think or 2008 I had him sign my Mospeada Graffiti book. He asked me how I knew of such an old work of his! LOL. He was super nice. Quote
Frogze Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 30 year old virgin? lol... you're gonna need some drinks to make her loose her INBITations... <--stretch! So she's finally getting LEY-ed!! Quote
PetarB Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I do love MOSPEADA, but haven't really kept up with any news. To the true fans: are there any rumours of a reboot/remake on the horizon(t)? Quote
captain america Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Frak, it's the 30th anniversary of Mospeada... Maybe that's why I'm getting that scratchbuilding itch again... Quote
Major Tom Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Frak, it's the 30th anniversary of Mospeada... Maybe that's why I'm getting that scratchbuilding itch again... Go for it John, hit us with your best shots Quote
Smut Peddler Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 This guy in 1/10 would be interesting... enforcer.jpg Any Inbits in 1/10 would be awesome Quote
captain america Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 This guy in 1/10 would be interesting... enforcer.jpg It would actually! Either that or a 1/32 Inbit Eager to go with my Legioss. Quote
DarrinG Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I would be in for a few 1/32 Eagers - and or 1/10 Inbit foot soldier... Quote
captain america Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I like the idea that the Inbit Protector would be in scale with the ride-armors, now all I need are 30 orders to make it happen... Maybe I should start a separate thread on it? Quote
DarrinG Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 When should I post this graphic? I should probably hold off... Quote
Tober Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I like the idea that the Inbit Protector would be in scale with the ride-armors, now all I need are 30 orders to make it happen... Maybe I should start a separate thread on it? Post in here if you do. I'll be up for one or more. Saves me trying to do it myself too... Quote
Phyrox Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I would be one of the first in line for one of those Inbit. And when I say one, I mean "as many as I can afford." Edited October 4, 2013 by Phyrox Quote

Maybe I should start a separate thread on it? I think it will not difficult to have your 30 orders For the Size, 1/48 will be good too for match with Cms & Toynami... Quote
Smut Peddler Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Yea, id buy any inbit in 1/48, and 1/10 scale someone decided to put out . Most likely multiples Quote
Alex Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Bit boring compared to an Invid but I want Jim's truck. Is it Mospeada's-back-o'clock yet? Quote
Ahab Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Funny you should say that, Alex. I resumed work on Jim's Jeep last week. Updates coming soon... Quote
