All,

  Years ago I was interviewed by Toy Fare Magazine and it resulted in this short piece.

I haven't been able to locate my copy and I cannot remember what issue it appeared in.  Does anyone here know?  If so, I'd like to track down another copy.  I know I was working for Texas Instruments at the time so this was sometime before September 2003.

Thanks,

Carl

I think you had a very good counterpoint though, maybe 1/32 is biting off too much. Perhaps the 1/48 would be the better route to go given the need to re-engineer some bits anyway to make it more of a toy (and open the possibility for a Tread later). While I genuinely really like the idea it's probably too niche to ever take off. If anyone is in the toy industry and thinks it's worth giving it a try I'm happy to spend some time on the project. I suppose it's best to wait and see what Evolution is working on any way. If they killed it there'd really be no market.

I love the idea... and I for one would die to have a 1/32 Tread. If this ever goes anywhere PLEASE PM me as I'm not near as good at keeping up with the forums as I used to be.

Looks like Bruce Wayne goes to Mifune Moters to get the new Batmobile. I wonder if the gun turret on the front is an upgrade from the saw blades that come standard.

Carl

noooo i needed to see him in a die hard prequel....

Well I want to say he is still eligible for a sequel but that is a bit too demented even for me. He truly was one of the best and will be missed.

Carl

There are plenty of things to pick apart but for the most part I just let them slide by (and anyone trying to make ANY scientific sense of the Star Wars universe is in need of therapy...

Saw it yesterday and loved it. One thing bothers me that I haven't seen asked yet.

Carl

So no Tread? Dang!

I too have long (since 2001) had the dream of a 1:32 Moscato Tread. It seems a sin to make the perfect Legioss and then leave it without its mate. So I refuse to give up hope.

Carl

I'm in for one.

Thanks,

Payment sent. First time checking posts in several weeks. It would be nice to get a PM or email about such things. Not trying to be late but real life tends to get in the way of keeping up with posts rather frequently these days.

Carl

Thanks for the PM. Deposit has just been sent.

Carl

I'm in for 1.

Carl

Payment has been sent.

Carl

I'm in. But I'm confused. I see the product description has been edited so maybe that is the source of my confusion. I see just one version being offered. Many of the replies seem to imply there are two versions of the kit. Put me down for one.

Thanks,

Carl

I'm starting to think that this may very well be needed. Perhaps after the Eager (Baby Space Crab)

NICE!!!! But I'm torn too. I have the 1/32 Legioss and I'm STILL hoping for a 1/32 Tread to go with it. The pinnacle of all Mospeada models feels incomplete without this. Yes, I know it would be huge. Yes, I know it would be expensive. But I hope there is at least a small chance this sees the light of day sometime.

Keeping hope alive,

Carl

Just spotted this thread... Please put me down for one. I think you have all my info from last time.

And I'm tempted to say PM me or email me if you don't hear from me on future offerings. I'd hate to miss one of these because I was too busy to keep up with the forums.

Thanks,

Carl

Sorry... I've been out of touch too long. I'm hoping John has enough extra pink resin that I can get in on "Pinky Space Crab". If he's taking suggections for what's next... I'm really hoping to someday see a 1/32 Tread that mates with his 1/32 Legios. Maybe with these extras...

It would be big and anything but cheap but I'd give and arm and a leg for one.

Here is another set of add-ons which could be made for the 1/32 Legios.

Wasn't there a project underway to make the other heads? What ever became of that?

Carl

Could you post some pictures here? I can't get this link to open.

Gotta say, I really dig that 2001 screen.

I do too. Though upside down it looks like a cross between some evil snowman and Rosie, the maid from Jetsons. Honestly... I think that makes me like it more.

Carl

http://www.macrossworld.com/mospeada/tread_toy.htm an old article on the legacy page i think. it's from carl hoff's amazing collection of stuff.

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.

Carl

Anyone here read the 2007 JMS World War Z script that was posted on-line back in the day? Now THAT is a movie I would have loved to have seen. That script was a great read and I was hoping to see it on the big screen someday. The current version I don't think has any of the JMS version left in it though and sounds much less interesting.

Carl

Wasn't this project around even before the first Hasegawa kits? It then went into cryogenic sleep for a couple of years.

It was asleep for about a decade. If you want a look back here is the place to start.

Finally finished the game. Its probably the first computer game I've played all the way to the end since the first X-Com something like 20 years ago. Anyways a couple questions... Has anyone installed the DLC Slingshot for this game?http://www.destructoid.com/xcom-enemy-unknown-slingshot-dlc-video-and-screens-239828.phtml I just purchased it and installed it and I'm curious do I need to start all over to see the new missions or can I just play from one of my saved games? And is there even a way to know its been installed correctly? I've tried loading a few saved games and jumped forward a few weeks and I haven't seen anything new yet. Thanks, Carl

I was in High School working on a report at CSULB library and for some weird reason I decided to open up a New Yorker Magazine and there was a pen and ink Illustration by him.

Thanks,

Carl
