jenius Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Mmm too soon to say... that could just be BBTS importing it like they do with lots of other toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adankree Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) I hope there's a standard US release at a lower price point. Edited April 16, 2017 by adankree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north-exit Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Are the shots of a prototype? because it looks kinda crap. Really hope the reviews allay my fears, because I'm a big fan of the Legioss and was hoping this would turn out... Wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Armo Soldier is growing on me, but yeah, reviews first. Judging by the size, I'm guessing ET is going the High End route with this one (like when Yamato released the big a$$ Ingram and Scope Dog toys), but to pull that off, you really need to be willing to swim the extra mile. Engineering wise, I'm still waiting to see something different than what Toynami and CM's did. For example, there's no indication that the tail fins wont be swinging freely in and out the moment you pick up the toy.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Well I'm in the "cautiously optimistic" camp. The latest pics we've seen are from a painted prototype so there is still room for improvement. Hope they don't cheap out with the materials and I expect a reasonable amount of tampo print given the asking price. I like the sculpt so far.

JetJockey Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'll wait till release and hopefully they will make a Rook version so I can get her mini cyclone as well. I'm still concerned though like another member mentioned that they didn't release a side profile picture of the Alpha in Fighter mode with the landing gear down. I've never seen a toy release with so many enhanced photos before. We'll see what this looks like. This has to be the best version. I don't see the point in making something that isn't better than what we've already seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be more info at the next Wonderfest at the end of July, or Tokyo Toy Show early June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorindor Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) For anyone that's interested, the Legioss is now up for pre-order on the Robotech Store: https://www.therobotechstore.com/products/evolution-mospeada-legioss-afc01h Not the best price, though...

Interesting that they are offering it & for a higher cost than HLJ. With shipping from the RT store it would cost $308.00 total with shipping.

Duymon Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I love the idea of a new Legioss but not at Arcadia prices from a company who's only history of transforming airplane mecha is the mediocre VF-2ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convectuoso Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 It's way too expensive to even consider buying it. It's a no-go for me. I'll have to keep looking for an Aoshima legioss, even if its hands crumble down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to keep looking for an Aoshima legioss, even if its hands crumble down. If you're willing to take an MPC Alpha, those can be had for not unreasonable prices -- close to retail or even less. A lot of sellers online were asking above and beyond $100 for those, esp. the main hero ones, but I managed to snag a green and red one for $60-$70 each. You just have to be patient. Since I knew the build quality wasn't great, the inflated prices weren't worth it to me. But I would have been willing to pay the $60-$70 for one as a display piece that I didn't plan to handle too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I already have the red and green masterpiece Alphas, but the blue one is the hardest to get for a reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The price for the Toynami Alpha and Beta COMBINED didn't even come close to this price! That's some serious hubris to be asking a price like that, especially with all the underwhelming pics revealed so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are counting on the fact that Mospeada is an underserved franchise, toy-wise. It's lot not like collectors of Mospeada toys have a lot of options.

captain america Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Since it's somewhat related, would anyone be interested in a re-issue of my 1/48 Inbit kits? Seems like the crabby baddies get no love from toy manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the same old novelizations, RPG rulebooks, and Toynami figures we've all seen a decade ago, it is a big pile of cafepress-style "print this graphic on these products" crap. ... Or whoever the cool "print this graphic on these products for me" webstorefront person is these days. I haven't actually heard the cafepress name in a few years now.
