For those that have both, can we get some comparison pics in all 3 modes, of the Omega and the Sentinel Legioss toys, with a ruler included in the pic please to show size.

Maybe Takara-Tomy will do a TF-Mospeada crossover.

Mine arrived today from HLJ. First reaction.....it's fun.

I don't properly remember how diver mode generally works, but I did take a good spread of fighter and bot mode pics.  

Honestly, these are so close in fighter that's hilarious.

Sentinel is 8.5 inches long with a 6.4 inch wingspan.  The Tomy is 8.4 inches long, with a 6.1 inch wingspan, though you could say the Tomy cheats on the length a little by not collapsing the feet quite as far.  Either way, they're just really close.

Height-wise, the Sentinel grows more, so it comes out about an inch taller overall, closer to 7 inches than the Tomy's roughly 6 inch height.

Overall?  The comparison I was expecting was something like a DX to an HMR.. but I think that's actually underselling both of them in a couple of ways.  The Sentinel feels incredibly over-engineered, but it pulls off the design amazingly, in ways no one had tried before.  The Tomy version just feels like someone decided to take more creative liscence with the transformation, and then asked "How can we do this for half the price?"

And I do not mean the Tomy feels cheap by that.  It's obviously simpler, but compared with the complexity of the Sentinel, it's also a lot more fun to mess with.  The Sentinel feels like a (very small) high-end collectible.  The Tomy just feels like someone wanted something fun to mess with in the same scale, and at a much more reasonable price.

I'd say they succeeded in that.  It's really enjoyable to transform, I just yanked it out of the package without even looking at the instructions, and was posing it in a couple of minutes.  It just feels like it could use a little paint on things like the landing gear (which do give the chest ground clearance, by the way).

Sadly one of my copies also came missing the yellow end-cap on the right arm, so I'm going to have to try and navigate HLJ's customer service about that one.  It's not a complex part, so maybe something I could also scratch up a copy of, but if these get released stateside, I might try service on that end.

Honestly, I'm kind of tempted to pick up more of these guys, they're just very fun.  I went and ordered a second copy of the black one when the reviews started hitting, but the green was sold out.

I haven't gotten mine yet (still in Japan when I checked tracking yesterday), but your description is quite apt compared to the several vid reviews I've seen thus far. Toyrise was going for a simplified, playable approach to the Legioss while still producing a faithful rendition of it and in that they succeeded. My main niggle remains the limited arc of motion for the font part of the feet, and the open forearms to a lesser degree. I figure some of these TF third parties might be able to address that as they do with so many TF toys. Small shame that all the little doors don't open on the legs to show the rockets, but it's a small sacrifice. The Sentinel does it brilliantly, and the Pose+ will, too, so I'm content with my high-end toys featuring all the bells and whistles while the Toyrise does what it was meant to do: be a fun toy first and foremost. I'm looking forward to getting my copy and I'm glad I decided to get the Omega, as the design appeals to me, I like the colors, and it'll be great to have a Legioss that's easier to transform and handle than the more complex and fragile-feeling Sentinel.

The Toyrise is about the size of a leader class Transformer, so technically, since these first three Toyrise versions are non-canon, one could incorporate them into their Transformers collection if they so desired. Slap a faction symbol on there and make up your own head-canon.

I've found the legs are much easier to deal with if you open things up a bit. Pivoting the smaller nose wing part first allows you to pivot the chest, wings, and arms up out of the way.

It would be cool if they produce it in the Seeker colour scheme.

I hadn't even considered that possibility but now that you mention it, I'd love a version in Skywarp's theme.

'Preciate the info. Seems a fairly straightforward toy to transform, although it does have some locks, like the crotch vent, that necessitate a certain order of operations so as not to break it. That said, hints like this are helpful.

Same here, I really hope Takara-Tomy will go for it. 

 

[Froy]

Don't know how many units they produces in the first run but seems sold out in every shop.

This turned out good if they didn't just preoduced a limited quantity.

[kanedaestes]

After much much delay and many months of patience, I finally received the email my Tread from BBTS is arriving. They normally have never taken this long to receive sentinel products but I’m happy that I was able to get one none the less 

[Morgen Black]

I also received an email about pre-order shipping soon for the Sentinel Riobot Tread.  BBTS has them for pre-order on their site at this time for those that would like to pick one up.

Awesome comparison pics. Thanks.

Not measuring from zero is madness though. I assume you were balancing the ruler on the arm of the Legioss and had to center it. The Tomy looks 7.5 inches long by my read, and the Sentinel 7.8ish. But I think they're supposed to be longer...

As was mentioned, Sentinel compacts the snot out of the legs and feet for fighter mode.

Toyrise’s is like most Legioss/Alpha toys in that the feet stick out well beyond the arm boosters.

[stratos]

I just got a notification from BBTS that the Sentinel Tread and Legioss preorders are processing in the next couple business days. In addition, for what it is worth, it looks as if both are now listed as available for preorder again. Incase anyone is interested.

 

Edit: Legioss is sold out again.

Whaaat? It's happening?! Yay!

Although the price went up due to tariffs. Grr.

Both Tread and Legioss are back up on bbts, be quick!

This is by far the most fun Mospeada toy I've ever had. And I mean by far.

This and all the reviews thus far are really shining a positive light on this toy, and I'm really looking forward to the arrival of my copy. Moreover, in light of all the positivity and seemingly great sales, I'm hoping they continue to do interesting things with it. This is, AFAIK, the only time that creative liberties of this nature have ever happened with the Legioss design, and who knew that it could prove to be so versatile with just a few changes here and there. I hope they continue to explore the possibilities including, as @Black Valkyriementioned, some potential Transformers crossover action. After all, Transformers could do with some decent jetformers, and the Legioss design is ripe for crossover potential.

It looks like the bottom of the motorcycle is meant to peg into something... anyone know what? There's no stand included.

I think that's part of what makes it fun among others. For one, it is pretty easy to transform, so it doesn't take a booklet to remember it. Second is the peg system, making the attachements a bit versatile. I'm sure as the other releases come, some of those attachments will be interchangeable, which even with the pilots and the bikes, makes it an easy toy. Not only that, the quality is quite good for the price. It feels like a solid toy, and joints are pretty tight.
