DarrinG Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Double-stick tape. They were dropping off in 3 minutes time. If I were to ever display it long term a better solution would be needed. ---- Toynami - why couldn't you add some simple plastic pins / pegs in the waist area of the Beta? Quote
CoreyD Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Hey, question about the Beagle/Toynami ride armor -- Are the two wheels supposed to fit symmetrically in armor form? One of the wheels locks just fine. The other just sorta floats back and rests on the engine. I can make them almost even if I push the one wheel strut in so it locks, but then look offset from the front. Is this the way it's supposed to work or did I miss a step in the overly complex transformation process? Quote
jenius Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Something sounds afoot but I haven't handled mine recently enough to give you any guidance. Quote

CoreyD Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Something sounds afoot but I haven't handled mine recently enough to give you any guidance. Here are two photos of what I'm talking about. Something just looks off on the right side wheel... Quote
Tober Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I think the left wheel is at an odd angle as it is not pulled out from the pole base properly. It's an easy step to miss. Quote
jenius Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah I had that issue before, definitely a step missed. Quote
EXO Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I think you have to line it up and push down on the wheel... I don't have it hand right now and everytime I try to picture it in my head the 80's Gakken keeps popping up in my head. Quote
Tober Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Top image is probably what you have, the bottom image (HA!) shows the bar extended from the bike body, which should result in the wheels being aligned properly above.. Quote
CoreyD Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Ok, so I've got the part on the right of the photo above pulled out and now the wheels are spaced about the same. However, NOWWWW that right wheel is flopping all over the place at the circular joint you pull out and rests on the back of the engine. Is it just supposed to hang loose like that, or should it have some tension? Sorry to be a PIA about this. This transformation almost had me feeling YF-21 levels of frustration. Quote
Tober Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 The wheels lock at the base. Both wheel struts should be pushed down fully, which is how they lock. They do move around slightly as there is no lock at the top, but tension should be the same on both sides.The Collection DX review video takes you through the transformation fully (from what I remember).

Gakken85 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I had that problem. i think I had to go back to step 23 and start over. Quote
CoreyD Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Alright I finally got it. Thanks everyone for the friendly help Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 What's a reasonable price for a toynami 1/10 ride armor? For Rand and Scott? Quote
jenius Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Head on over to eBay and look for completed listings. Seems like everyone selling one likes to think Scott is worth $400 and Ray/Rand is worth $200. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 EXO, just updated me on the mospeada figures he's painting for me. They are freakin awesome... EXO please share some pics when you're done!!! Quote

VF-Zer0S Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I've read a few reviews on the many renditions of the legioss and tleads but in your guys opinion, which is the best? I wish arcadia or mega house would tackle a close to line art accurate version of the two Quote

They all have their various faults. Yeah, that's why I never bought one. Unfortunately. I've wanted one for forever but... I don't like any of the options. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 TOYNAMI !! ( just wanted to post the pic again cuz it was a pain to do ; / ) AlphaBetaBLOCKER_sm.jpg Great picture! Are those the cm option parts? Quote
DarrinG Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Just the long rifle - it looks great with the Toynami. There was a set or two of the CMS option parts up for auction but I do not see any now. On the Legioss and Tread sets -- My Toynami blue and green Alpha Betas are much better than the red set in quality and fit. I would try a blue or green Toynami combo and see what you think. Alpha hands are terrible though - they crumble - so brace yourself . . . Edited July 29, 2014 by DarrinG Quote
EXO Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Fin! More pics here: https://www.facebook.com/PlasticCretins/posts/766906956702917 BTW, if anyone is interested in these figures, contact me directly so I can get them to you for a lower price than available at Shapeways. I'll leave the ones at Shapeways for people not on these boards. I apologize to people that got it before now, Shapeways was the only way to go back then. Quote
Hoptimus Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I have to agree wiht DarrinG. The CM is a nice Tread with a terrible Legioss! The Toynami is a pretty good Tread with a Legioss that looks much better and is not froppy as much but BE VERY GENTLE with it. Obviously the best is the Captain America Legioss but then we have to wait for him to make a Tread to match it..... Fin!

Damn! that's crazy how you made the visors look like glass and get that reflective look. (stolen from your facebook page) the master of figures and painting. must be busy getting a lot of requests for your services and figures. i can't wait for your macross figures reboot. If Harmony Gold had talent like this, the kickstarter would pass easy. Edited July 29, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
EXO Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 It's just clear blue over chrome over gloss black. All Tamiya acrylics... cool effect. I use it all the time. Quote

I wish arcadia or mega house would tackle a close to line art accurate version of the two If you want something great to look at that you will never touch, Toynami is the best. If you want something you can actually pick up and handle, the Gakken Legioss is the best. If you want something great to look and withstands handling, you will have to find the guy who made this: Quote
