Oof, not much of a discount on that Legioss reissue. Hopefully other retailers start getting in the act.
-
I think Arcadia was routinely in the 1000-2500 range. Yamato published a few times of having production runs as low as 500 units. I think the Double Nuts and Bird of Prey YF-19 toys were 500 units though maybe my memory is faulty.

DM'ed so I don't bore mospeada fans with surround sound talk
-
I felt I had to put it an order in for the store exlcusive so I could review the missles too 😕. I used a proxy. I'll probably buy another at HLJ when it lists. Guess I should get another Legioss while I'm at it. So much for treating myself to a surround sound system this Xmas!
-
Sorry to be obtuse but do ALL the missiles come with the store exclusive tread or do I need to purchase the store exclusive Legioss as well to get another set of missiles?

I was so confused but it looks like it's not available yet and hence no "add to cart" button.

It seems that the missiles are the "store exclusive benefits."
Pilot is also non-movable it seems.
Is there a URL where the store special version is availalbe?

All prices before tax:

Well, there's a lot of head scratching going on but a compartment with weapons for the pilots sounds fun. Still... seems like he's coming up with ways to make this toy unreasonably expensive instead of just scratching the existing itch at a reasonable price point.

If anyone is planning on grabbing this from HLJ when it goes up, I would be much obliged if you would head there using my URL:

And I can't wait to review this!

We could do it at an MWCon type event easily enough.

My LRS TC is in stock at Anime Export.... w00t.

He's looking at the product he already spent the money on

I don't think it feels 'suspicious' but I don't think it makes sense either.
STEP 1: Deliver on the products you've already accepted POs for. It doesn't even have to be all of them but it at least has to be MOST of them. The PO to delivery cycle is way out of whack right now.
STEP 2: Choose ONE product and do a Kickstarter for it. Start with low hanging fruit. Do a Kickstarter for a weathering version of the Battlepod or a Kickstarter exclusive color variant to pay for the costs of that toy and earn some profit to apply to other things they want to do.
STEP 3: After creating a track record of success, do a Kickstarter for an item that will only be made if there's enough interest. A low target item could be some alternate Zentraedi pilot figures.
STEP 4: With a couple successful Kickstarters done and all the POs delivered at this point, do a big Kickstarter for the Officer's Pod without a pilot.
STEP 5: If that Kickstarter is successful, give us an armored pilot figure Kickstarter. If it's not successful, try the scout pod with hopefully a lower target since some of the engineering from the standard pod carries over.Pairing a huge target for many items with a huge backlog of undelivered promises is a terrible strategy. For a single item... I would have been tempted to contribute... but I have preorders for all the GBP iterations and the two battlepod variants so I might still have waited until I at least had the battlepod variants to contribute any more funds. With how this is set up? Not a chance. I do look forward to more of their products but I'm not in the market of giving out open-ended 0% loans.

While I would throw my vote for a lavender color over the more red of this prototype, I also don't have a hard time imagining that different Zentraedi war groups would have different color armor so this could be a valid paint scheme for some group. I'm curious how hard it's going to be to squeeze this figure in... that cockpit is not roomy.

Yamato 1/60 VF-1S Roy with Super and Strike Parts.
That's the dicey first release though... might have hinge issues.

C'mon, you gotta throw a NSFW on a pic like that!

It's definitely the right tray because that's the one with all the TV style hands. Would like to see the other tray also to see how they included the missiles. It's funny, they actually reduced the amount of contents in the first tray since it used to be three sets of DYRL hands and then one set of R TV gun holding and L TV open hand. Basically, we get one less set of hands.
Contents aside, looks like the toy is the same ol' VF-1J Hikaru.

This has disaster written all over it.

If Bandai could just get the pieces to lock in solidly and show off a couple of innovations in the design, this would be an instant buy for me:
Is that recent or dredging up long forgotten hopes?

HMR Fatty and Bloodsucker at Tamashii Nations are welcome to see! Bloodsucker will go great with that LRS TC!

I feel like these aren't even preproduction units for the revival. They probably just pulled an old revival out of storage for display, and blasted it with some semigloss.
It's still undated and unpriced, so it's still pseudo vaporware like the fire valkyrie. At this point, they might not even have looked into whether they want to redesign anything yet. I'll keep huffing my hopium until the last moment, and pretend all the moaning will inspire them to make a couple tweaks lmao.
Anyway, wallet is still safe for now.
Maybe they're busy designing the toys for the new show.

Maybe have a pivot point toward the back lower end of the wing so that part could swing out toward the edge of the wing for high speed mode.

I think the extra mounts are a pretty clear indication that they're leaving the door open for future accessory sets. They did that on the Legioss too though and nothing has come of it.
