SuperHobo Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Wow just this morning they still had some in stock. I'm glad I pre-ordered my red one a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kin Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 nice review from collectiondx. I share the same critisism. - lack of diecast - useless piece of metal bar which doens't hold it together. - not worth $300,- (mainly the connection problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) update on what I was trying to do with the connector bar. I dont think this can be recast as such though, even though I was aiming to make a simple one. If anyone wants the basic shape so they can piece together from sheet styrene and lego, post here and will try and do so. Heres the semi finished result! 2 pix edit Edited April 20, 2008 by Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermillion One Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Dude these guys still have the blue legioss in stock! In addition they have the red one for pre-order. They're a reputable company and they ship out your items quite fast. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/advanc...ywords=Mospeada They shipped my blue legioss very quickly. However, I have placed an order for the red with them, and I cannot get them to respond to my emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have placed an order for the red with them, and I cannot get them to respond to my emails. Odd, I have placed orders for the green and red through them and they've been very communicative through email. They told me the red will, with any luck, start shipping this upcoming Tuesday.

What could be better than relaxing at home fiddling with an overpriced Japanese toy? Ahhhh so satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCowboy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) So is the Toynami version out yet? After reading up on the reviews a little bit of the Megahouse and CM, I nearly wish one of them (Toynami even) to release super-poseable non-transformable cylones. Release a set for $30-$40 that has a super poseable rider, motorcycle and rider in ride armor. It seems like the cyclone uses too much anime magic to create a really nice transforming toy that looks good in both modes. [update] So it looks like they are out, but since tmpanime decided to shut down for a month, it looks like that is why I haven't heard anything on them yet...sigh...

Yeah its odd, they were really good about communicating the blue release, but I didnt place the red and green order through their site and I havent been able to get a straight answer from them. I need to know since I will be out of town in early May and moving shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your spam and bulk folders for some reason they have had problems people getting their email replies. I will also send them an email about you not getting a reply. Oh and about the Red version most retailers got them in last Friday, so they won't get shipped out till mid week. The Red was sold here in Akiba at a few shops. One shop has it for 39800yen now that is a rip off. Edited April 20, 2008 by Save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red was sold here in Akiba at a few shops. One shop has it for 39800yen now that is a rip off. I thought that may be the case since they were having problems with the order system last week (why my order for the red didnt show up, I was told). I checked my filters and I hadn't received a reply. I just needed to make sure I was able to receive them since my PO is a pain and would send them back to Japan if I cant sign for them within 3 days of their arrival.

Alex Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I saw the red Legios/Tread sets in Sakuraya lastnight. It's kinda of cheap that it's the same box but with a sticker slapped on it saying "Zeta". Hey, btw. Opened the landing gear on my Legioss for only the third time since I got it. The landing gear in the left leg came off inside the leg and was rattling around. I had to glue it back on. Careful because if it falls off it will just fall out of the open backs of the Legioss' calf. Don't wanna lose that piece. Now that's QC issue numero two on the Leg/Tread set so far for me.

Sam Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 if ya dont mind cutting up lego and styrene sheets, and putting a bit of TLC into you, it could be reproducable. My original intent was to make something everyone could make easy, but that went by the wayside a bit too easily, and now its a full on projecdt lol. After you asked about how it lined up, i was looking at it again and it was off by bout 5 degrees angle wise, so took it downstairs and fixed it up to be the angle i like heh. so just need the camera to show it again. BTW, anyone got a really good pic of the missiles they have for the Tread? like shape, how they connect, etc? I only have seen that stylised one from the other thread....

It's a hell of alot of money. I would have to be some crazy completest. But, if you think about it. It's not too bad of a deal for all 3.

jenius Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I suspect the red will actually end up in bargain bins at some point only years later to be redeemed by fetching a premium... that seems to be the typical history of the red guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaru's VF-1S Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 lol, well overdrive-inc has the legioss/treads blue and red back in stock, u can add them to cart again. man im still on the border on this item. sometimes im really want it and knowing it would probably be rare in teh future and then there are times where its expensive and wondeirng if toynami will ever release theres. i have 3 of there alphas already (red,blue,shadow) and then i was thinking of like selling all 3 to help pay the CM's, or just sell 2 and keep one (either blue or red). bah... wish there some discount around =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I just got the notice from Overdrive that my greenie and red are shipping tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm out of town from Thurs - Monday so I guess I'll have something to look forward to when I get back. If I were on a budget I'd only own one version of the Toynami MPC. Seeing as the blue one is the hardest to get, that'd be the one I'd keep just in case I had regret later on (you can always buy another red one if you regret selling it). That said, I still think the 10K-15K of the blue one are sitting in a Toynami warehouse. Anyway, I'd hold onto my Toynami Scott and then buy either the green or the red in the CMs. That way there you have the best of both worlds. Also, I suspect a few months from now you'll be able to find them on sale... I wouldn't bank on them staying there for long though and then once they sell out you'll be hurting worse. Is anyone familiar with other high-end CMs toys? Do they usually make it to the bargain bin before selling out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
