Ok it's killing me : What are the odds that these B25's actually get produced??

*And no fuke in that line-up reminds me of megahouse (not in a good way)

How good IS the CMS? My experience with their products is so hit/miss and generally dated but I'd like to start adding more Legioss variants at very least.

The tread is easily closest to the line art and reviewed as a solidly manufactured toy.

The legioss has a cheep feel and wonky proportions...but def more durable than the toynami mpc abominations (with their disintegrating parts).

The Aoshima 1:48 variable Legioss kits are about the same size as the CMs, the Toynami, and the Sentinel.  They are cheap and plentiful.

I imagine upgrading your CMs toy would require far more than just the intakes, however...  

Many thanks I'll definitely invest in one!

And lol indeed, they have several shortcomings; but the intakes are my only unforgivable "gripe".

 Thanks again man! 

Question: Are there any Legioss models that have intakes that might even approximately fit the CM's Legioss ?

Ps aware of the limited upgrade set: just don't want to spend $1200 lol

Lol they are all on the same boats coming over for the domestic sellers 

Indeed..I noticed some talk suggesting they may never show up, Do you think thats a real possibility? - I've only bought from TF Source once in the past.

Yeah- I'm waiting patiently. We'll see if the TF Source Stick ride armor shows first.

Same here...got a Ray on pre-order. I might even give them a call to investigate how likely they are to materialize.

Wait a minute...Why didn't they mangle the original sdf design like they did for the cyclone/ride armor?! (I'll never un-see that abomination)

I'm not sure how Johnson, Shinobu, etc would work with their canon. Ie weather or not Sentinel's ride armors are reinterpretations or advancements of the original ride armors. Same for the Legioss.

Is there no love for the Legioss Drone? It seems to be completely overlooked now. I think only CMs did a version of it, 

Ah Good point, Well I hope it's possible - considering the core original series characters pilot the new ride-rmors/legioss. 

Also, It's quite  interesting that the new legioss is almost identical to the original line-art.. While much more of a (profoundly satisfying) departure for the updated rides. - They are Aramaki's master stroke! imho

Yeah, there hasn't been anything seen since Wonderfest.

I'm no economist, but I'm pretty sure profits are maximised by releasing the same mold in as many variations as possible*.   Eg - VF-1Whatever

*Except for Bandai DX, Fuke knows what business model they use for those... 

In that case...are we getting the Col. Wolf and dark ride-armor variants??

now you guys got me thinking pink, i would probably buy it just because it stands out in a sea of blacks and primary colors on the shelf. i like having some oddballs in my collection -- like the Mazinger Hello Kitty.

Lol in that case : May i suggest the Yamato "Nene" Moto-slave...it's bubblegum pink !

Thou, the only one I can find is on Amazon for almost $500

Sentinel’s having internal discussions about pink vs. red. 

Given that the Zeta is scheduled for a January 2021 release, I wouldn’t expect to see painted prototype pics of the Houquet ride armor until later this year at the earliest.

Let's tell Sentinel : Better RED than Dead!! #QuitFuke-ingWithHouquet

*Disclaimer : I will still buy several if it's pink*

Hey guys I just made a pre-order on TF Source for what looks like the 2nd re-issue for the Ray ride-armor from Sentinel.

The Scott preorder said pre-sold out...So I'm assuming i dont have to pinch myself that these are actually being re-reissued lol 

Are any of you guys pre-ordering and what are your thoughts on possible improvements including the infamous cracked hinges? 

Thanks!

This maybe off-topic but has anyone heard anything new about the figma motoslave and priss that was shown last year?
