Dude, so many cool shots!  I wanna join the party too.

I somehow like them better in bike mode. 

Is of me or  are these sold out most places? Does anyone know a place that still has Sentinel Ley for sale?

Great to hear they've got a Borough Superior in the works!  

Whoah there, Tubes!  Where'd you get those green containers for your Beagle?  

 

 

I honestly don't remember.  It must have been over 9 years ago or something. I remember them being shown on this forum and being difficult to get even back then. I think i got them from EBay.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. No toy at this scale with this many moving parts and mass shifting anime magic parts created in any decade I have ever handled has done so without issue. Part of the fiddly nature I am referring to is the fact that parts don't stay pegged in. There is just too much to move and that gets moved for everything to be secure. That said I guess that since I tempered my expectations with realism I was pleasantly surprised. I'm simply warning others expecting perfection at this scale to stay away. Just because it is expensive doesn't mean it was made to be able to physically mirror anime magic. I can tell you this and the internet will remember my statement. No company will ever release a perfect transformation toy (notice I said perfect transformation) of this mech at any scale under 1/6 and at any price that won't suffer from *most* of these issues. As I said a few issues like permanently attaching foot armor they could have fixed but fiddly pegs not staying in due to three or four different pegs in different areas having pressure put on them just to lift an arm and keep the arm armor attached at same time is just what it is. A person might feel like at this price it might not be unrealistic to expect to not encounter these things. But they would simply be disappointed then. If you really want to be disappointed grab Evoltion Toys Legioss. Now that is inexcusably bad.  Yes I feel like this should have cost $125 no more. But I paid more and frankly don't regret it. It's not like there a ton of Mospeada game in town. You wanna play you gotta pay.  This Hobby ain't cheap. Especially when it comes to toys created specifically FOR collectors like this. 

We're talking in circles here. If you're happy then my reasons don't matter. Just like your arguments don't convince me at this point (nothing personal). I still believe they could have done a better job. Having a plastic peg of this size stay pegged in better is not an impossible task. And i do feel i paid about 80 - 100 more than i think it's worth. The fact that there's worse crap out there doesn't weigh in to my decision. As for this being an expensive hobby, i know all about that. So let's indeed agree to disagree. Enjoy your purchase. I would never take away from a collector's enjoyment of a figure. These are my reasons and mine alone. I personally can do without this one. Now if in the meantime more video's show up that convince me otherwise I'll give it a shot, I'm not that stubborn that I can't change my viewpoints on something.

I just got mine from Amiami. I am quite pleased with it. I own the Megahouse's, Beagle and CMSs Mospeadas and I think I might like this one the best. Just edges out the Beagle IMHO. But then I prefer this scale. I have to say that anyone disappointed is feeling so due to their own unrealistic expectations. Anyone that is expecting a perfect transformation of a design like this that relies so heavily on anime magic to begin with at a scale under 1/6 heck maybe even 1/5 that wouldn't be ball jointy and fiddly as all heck is just delusional. Not to offend anyone but it wouldn't be possible. Now granted I see some design choices that could have improved the overall experience with this toy such as the armor over feet that keeps popping off (these need to be glued on period!). But overall I think they did a bang up job. The visor isn't as offensive in hand but definitely needed to be a clear smoke blue like the ones on 4chan that were modded. But I'll just leave as is. It stands out next to my other MospeadaS with it and I don't HATE it. 

Nobody minds the fact that it is all ball jointy and fiddly as heck. Things tapping in securely is not to much to ask at this price point or this size though. Many figures of this size have secure taps and ball joints and don't pop lose at the slightest touch. Are those unrealistic expectations? Not to me they're not. We've come a long way since the days of the Beagle ride armour and i don't see those years reflect in the build quality looking at the reviews.

Tubes78, where did you get it from for that price? I am in the UK and my 2 Stigs was £130 shipped from NY & £148 from HLJ again shipped

EBay. Was the cheapest one there at that point.

What put you off exactly?

The build quality and things popping off. Looking at the size and the price it's just not worth it to me. I love Mospeada to me but this thing has left a sour taste in my mouth before I even received it. A shame really because I was exited for this thing. The 245 dollar price tag just hurts at this point.

I'm sorry i pre ordered so far in advance. Mine will be in The Netherlands in about 2 to 3 weeks. I will be selling it for for the same price i bought it 245 dollars excl shipping. The video's just put me off. I'll be fine with my Beagle ride armor. 

Hi guys, 

I've been out of collecting ever since the Beagle ride armor has been cancelled. Sold mine and man did i regretted that decision. The prices on these are through the roof and I had zero hope of something similar ever being released. That was until I stumbled across the Sentinel ride armor a few days ago by pure luck. My heart just skipped a beat. I'm not missing out on this chance and put my pre orders in.
