EXO Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'd pay $600 for 1/4 scale $300 for 1/6 scale and $150 for 1/10 scale at the most... if this is true, I'm gonna have to pass without thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 No, 60000 has simply got to be some kind of typo... Actually I think the typo is in the scale. It's going to be 1/1 and not 1/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I like the ride armor, but not enough to pay more than $100 for any version of it. Something like the Legioss, which is one of my favorite mecha designs ever, sure. But not the ride armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 With the amount that I paid for the Thunder Hammer (which is a lot more than the Beagle Ride Armor, sorry if that sounds like bragging... I just want to get my point across), I pretty much resigned to the fact that I wont be removing the armor off the valkyrie and I wont be trasforming that particular one. I'm going to get a display case for it and pretty much leave it alone forever. But with the Beagle ride armor, this is something that I would want to transform back and forth over and over again. And I cant just see myself handling a $600 toy, moving parts and clicking them apart... BTW, where's the treading on the tires? I thought I saw them before... I'm so hoping this is a bad rumor cuz I really want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelay Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 $600? Absolutely not a chance. $150 is the very maximum I'm willing to spend. Here's hoping the numbers are clarified shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yup, That is indeed a deal breaker. For me the max would be $200 IF it got fantastic reviews and was problem free. $150 would be better. But $600? Preposterous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robodragon Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Guys, he said its just a "rumour", its not a fact yet. I agree. I have a feeling that we'll find out that someone add a 0. 6000 yen sound mor like a reasonable price which is at around $60. USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I doubt it'd be $60, that'd put it in at less than the CMs! Maybe that's what's happening here though. People are looking at it and thinking "Man, that's ten times as cool as the CMs toy! Oh crap, it'll probably be 10x as much!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protostar8 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think it'll probably run around $60. If you consider how things have gone, you have to assume that Beagle is watching and reading the responses of the Mospeada fans. Most fans think that $60 is about the right price for Ride Armors, so they may be trying to completely take over the market by debuting a nice, well built, affordable toy. Honestly, how many people wouldn't get one for that price assuming there aren't glaring QC issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream Man Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 $600? Nope, dont by it. That Yacolog link has good pictures and shows some interesting things: *The Helmet IS removable, u can see underneath it in parts. *The sensor looks to have a hatch to pop up from. *The armour....u dont suppose it would be removble do u? very cool toy.

Shun Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 very interesting if the armor can be removed and they can wear their normal casual clothes. will be the ultimate mospeada toy? but still... the price tag really kills it. at that price, probably only Stick or at most Rey will be made.

Shun Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 thanks for posting the pics. defintely the best mospeada so far. bike-to-rider proportion is very much closer to the correct scale. but the face sculpt needs a lot of work. that face doesn't look like Stick at all.

Awacs Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The Beagle looks rather nice indeed. However, if that rumoured price is anywhere near correct it is going t be well out of my league. I may have to remain content with me CMS Stick, which I'm actually quite fond of. (But don't tell Stick I broke his bike. It's nt my fault, the windshield just kind of fell off...... On a serious note, anyone any recommendations for what type of glue to use to reattach it. I was going to go for a dod of superglue but wanted to ask around to see if anyone knew if that would cause any problems first.) Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You could always try hitting it with some plastic cement if you are worried about super-glue fogging on the windshield... Tamiya's Extra Thin is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The Beagle CVR Armor doesn't look removeable to me. You can see two screw holes in the back of the chest armor and one screw hole in the waist armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't to worried about fogging my screen considering it was already badly fogged right out of the factory Epoxy tends to dry clear, and is very very strong stuff.

Hiriyu Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I honestly wouldn't take the rumored price of 60,000 Yen with anything more than a largish grain of salt. The chicken little mentality wears thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I honestly wouldn't take the rumored price of 60,000 Yen with anything more than a largish grain of salt. The chicken little mentality wears thin. I dunno. I wouldn't put it past these companies. Remember that this is a detailed man-doll which comes with a complex transforming apparatus. When you consider the $500 price tag of the new Minmay doll in that other thread, you can see that these guys are smoking the same joint and it kinda makes sense when you subscribe to their screwed-up logic. I can say these will probably be extremely limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tober Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 We are taliking about the same company tht makes this 60cm Akari Mizunashi Doll for $800.00 tho.

Depthcharge Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ok, as much as I hate to be "that guy"...... this thread has grown to nearly 100 pages long and I simply don't have the time to read through it all. So now that several of the ride armors are out there, I put the question to you all. In short, which ride armor do you guys currently feel is the best. I'm just wondering if there's any concensus out there because a friend of mine may be visiting Japan soon and said she'd happily pick me up any item or two. Also, does anyone think the ride armor that is yet to come out (Beagle?/Toynami?) looks like its worth waiting for ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
