Anybody know if this Moderoid kit is a snap together? 

Moderoids are snap kits

All the Moderoid kits I've built come prepainted.

There's a vast difference between "prepainted" and "parts molded in appropriate colors." 😒

The under kibble is absolutely obscene, no landing gear for that Legioss.

Plus the hexagonal bolts, the horrible orange and teal colors, the ugly-ass head...  The whole thing stinks to me. 

Of course, that's to be expected from "Skunk Works Toys." 🙄

I'm not entirely sure what direction they're trying to go with this new legioss design but it's just not for me. Adding the gundam head and all the janky gundam bulk underneath in fighter looks really ugly. Also who blocks off half their front intakes by slapping large guns on the lerxes. 

I'll pass on the overstylized design and wait for my riobot stuff to ship and hopefully there's not crazy tariffs in the US at that time XD

When you consider every single Legioss toy (excluding kits) ever made since the 1980's, just for once I would like to see a company, no matter who... just take the original 1980's Anime design and make that. 

By that I mean, no more, revamped or re-imagined designs. Take the lessons from Sentinel and make the originals, they clearly proved it's possible in 1/48 scale to make very detail, high quality and solid fitting toy with accurate, impressive landing gear. 

Gakken: Big, bulky, hefty and for its day, a true legend. (No leg or arm locking mechanism's.) 

CM's: Oof-magoof!   (No leg or arm locking mechanism's plus other issues.) 

Toynami: Looks pretty good but a QC nightmare all around, terrible landing gear. (Then & now)

Evolution Toy: The irony of the word "Evolution" in your company name. (Poor quality overall and the worst hands ever designed.)

Sentinel: Overall, very high quality, sturdy, rock solid, fighter mode looks amazing, however it is a re-imagined design, not OG. (Unpainted pilot figures are the only real negative IMO.) 

BANDAI or ARCADIA: The ball is in your court, seriously, just imagine an ARCADIA or Bandai made Legioss.

I do love the tweaks Sentinel did to the design:  compacted the fighter mode, redesigned the transformation process to shorten the nosecone on the armo-soldier mode.

Part of me wishes there was an option to angle the wings parallel to the ground, instead of having that downward cant.

But there’s enough there that it doesn’t look out of place with the original Legioss design.

i like it so far. except wings in robot mode

These look like they might actually be enjoyable, in a "play with toys, don't just look at them" way, and I'm there for it.

I believe this is one of the designers accounts

The same team of Aramaki, Lil Golem, and Marcy from Sentinel will be commercializing this figure at 1/60 scale through T-spark Toyrise.
We focused on making it easy to play with, transform, and expand. We plan to release many more in the future.

1/60 scale seems really really small for the Legioss doesn't it?
Maybe if they don't make the transformation complicated like the Riobot 1/48 they could pull it off

1/60 would probably be between the two sizes of the Gakken 1/55 Legioss toys and around the size of an HMR if Bandai ever made one.  The 1/55s were nice for their time and I can see something that size updated in sculpt with full 3 mode transformation work.

i think there are hints in this poster

If we look at the poster background, the illustration include other non-standard Legiosses & Treads - they look suspiciously similar to the illustrations from Genesis Breaker.

Might be a good thing, as Sentinel doesn't look to be making the others after the upcoming Tread.  

[daBlah!]

I encountered the issue with the Sentinel Legioss peg breaking on the stand while on display. Checked with Sentinel based on the info a few pages back. Got a response but seems they don't have the spare parts in warehouse now to cover a replacement. I've added a file to Cults to be able to 3d print a replacement part.

Right on for doing that!

Hey everyone,

If anyone's interested I'm selling my First Edition copy of the Robotech Visual Archive: Genesis Climber MOSPEADA hardcover.

https://ebay.us/m/no0VAb

This is the official artbook published by UDON, long out of print and hard to come by.

The book is in excellent shape, stored safely in a smoke-free collection.
Tons of concept art, character designs, and behind-the-scenes material for fans of Robotech, MOSPEADA, etc

The auction ends in 2 days, so if you’ve been looking to grab this piece of Robotech history now’s your shot.

Feel free to DM with questions. I’d love for this to go to someone who really appreciates it.

Is your price a little too reasonable?  Someone's angling for a moonshot with their listing:

I bought the trio of visual archives way back when.  Never even opened them because I have zero display space.  One day...

Asking prices on eBay should be ignored.

Those listings stay around forever because they never sell. Listings for reasonable prices sell quickly, so you never see them. As a result, people only see the high prices and assume they must be what those items are worth, when the opposite is true.

I usually just filter to see what the sold prices are.

Gives a pretty good gauge of a real selling price.
