26662 Posted August 13 Posted August 13 My Tread arrived from Nin Nin today. As with my Tread ordered from Amazon Japan, there was next to zero packing material inside the shipping box. Inner box was in perfect condition, however. I guess forsaking packing material is the new normal.
vladykins Posted August 13 Posted August 13 I'm loving the wing missiles that came with mine and now need them to release more so I can load up all these hardpoints.

Scanning should take no time at all, and I should be able to return-ship the loaner missile(s) within a day. I'm a stubborn perfectionist - if there is such a thing - so I don't know how long it'll take to translate the scans to a physical reproduction, but I'll come through on my promise. Just PM me.

I see almost a dozen sites offering preorders for the Pose+ Legioss and I'm not familiar with most of them so was looking for some recommendations. Thanks, Carl

There are a handful of sites that are advertising a lower price, but no interaction with tariffs. We'll see how it goes, but I've ordered other stuff from BBTS and it worked out OK.
Winterstar_343 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 (edited) Longer answer than usual: I went with Showz/ Gundamnit for my Pose+ preorder. I've purchased a lot from them over the years, and they've aleays been pretty reliable. If I've needed a replacement part on a purchase, they've gotten it for me. For the US based, there is no sales tax, and the "shipping cost" is really just code for "tariff surcharge." They're also really good about not charging anytjing rxtra unless they absolutely have to. Lastly, showz/gundamnit (same parent company, slightly different merchandise focusrs- the Legioss is on Gundamit) offers one other avenue that I plan to take full advantage of- The Pose+ requires a $30 deposit, with the balance due about two weeks before the item hits the warehouse. Showz also sells "coins" which are basically gift certificates you can bank on your account- coins can be spent on any purchase on the site. It's store credit. But its also a convienient way to throw a little bit monthly towards the Legioss between now and April and more or less have it paid off by the time it gets here. Timewise, Showz is pretty fast. You'll have it a month or two before any of the US retailers. They are a little bit slower than some of the other Hong Kong locations (likely due to sheer inventory). They do have more expedited shipping options at additional cost. Most things I've ordered from them (including some things the size of the Alpha Fighter) take about three weeks from shipdate to in hand. @jenius @wwwmwww @RavenHawk Link: https://gundamit.com/pose-metal-series-mospeada-1-28-afc-01h- Edited August 14 by Winterstar_343

They have two different missiles that came with the "Exclusive" set. They don't match the missiles from the line art, but I think this is because they have them mountable on legios as well (they use the same mounting system as the gun pods). But I'd be down for more, especially since I have three more hardpoints on each wing to fill up. Edited August 14 by vladykins
Mog Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Do the individual missiles actually separate from the mount, or are they permanently glued or molded together?

Mog Posted August 14 Posted August 14 (edited) If you have any 1/60 Yamato VF-1’s lying around, you can use their TV missiles (and some adhesive putty and a little red paint) to fill those additional hardpoints. I’m using the Version 1’s missiles on the Legioss and Tread. Not 100% sure about the Version 2’s missiles, but if their pegs are similar, they may work too. Edited August 14 by Mog
vladykins Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I'll have to grab some of my Yammie 1/60 missiles out of the boxes in the attic (I don't have any mounted on my displayed units currently).

Magnus Posted August 15 Posted August 15 (edited) I was going to skip out on the Tread but I snagged an open one from Mandarake for Y35000. At that price I couldn't say no. Edited August 15 by Magnus

Although I’ll prolly replace the fan cover’s “flip tab” with a more discrete…and I’m trademarking this 😜…“fingernail cavity.”
RavenHawk Posted August 15 Posted August 15 For anyone interested in the Moshow SDCC Exclusive Rick Hunter Cyclone (MOSPEADA), here are some comparison pics to the original (since I didn't see anyone else highlighting the color differences or the stickers), as well as a comparison to the only other figure that really compares:
danth Posted August 15 Posted August 15 The Pose+ has cool features too be sure but why prioritize them over full length vertical stabs and a less gappy fighter mode (esp. around the arms)?

My plan is to display the Sentinel Legioss + Tread in fighter and the Pose + in soldier. Assuming we get a green tread :P.

Froy Posted August 16 Posted August 16 (edited) Finally got some time to open my Legioss and Tread. Edit: *5 years and finally they are together. These are my very first Mospeada toys. Little fella has been boxed unopened for *5 years. Thought the Tread was never going to happen. Tread is big and with a huge wing span is hard to frame it at arms length. Although the connection feel kind easy is very strong even with out the adapter piece. A quick size comparison pick with Bandai DX Super VF-1S. Never wished for a Green Legioss but the completionist bug has already bitten. Lol. Edited August 16 by Froy

It seems hard to believe it's been five years already... 😯 ...but it's even harder to believe Mexico got it a year earlier. 😅
Mog Posted August 16 Posted August 16 2020 felt like a decade’s worth of pain, so considering it to be two years sounds fair. 😉

Still rember there was an issue with oil prices and the exhange rocketed and ended paykng a lot more in MXN. Lol. Pretty sure I have some old photos of when I got it. Remeber sending a friend some picks of the box. *Edit: Found the picks. Dated 2021. Remebering now it was hold in HLJ private warehouse because of covid for almost a year. It makes it 5 years, not six. I kinda mixed up the release date. My bad. Edited August 16 by Froy
Mog Posted August 16 Posted August 16 All good. Just glad you finally got to break out that blue Legioss and swoosh it around.

Remember that fever dream episode, where they all had swords to slay the dragon? Just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean POSE+ can't fleece you for a sword accessory! 😅
