Godzilla Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 On a semi-related note, BBTS buys back old (or fairly recent) toys and I was thinking of selling back alll my MPC Valks w/armor to upgrade to either: A. 3 TV Super VF-1J 1/48's: Hikaru, Max, Millia -or- B. 1/60 Yamatos: S Max, S Millia, S. Hikaru, VF-1S Roy. Decisions, desisions... They do?!?!? HOLY @#$%ING $H*T!!!! How much will they buy them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 for those keeping track the official word is that the canopy will be clear and that the blue paint job was just a prototype (as expected). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRED THE FRENCH Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I just perordered mine on Tmpanime. Just because my Gakken becomes old and doesn't like being manipulated too much. Look, my alpha is really flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, my alpha is really flying. Now I wanna see Toynami's do that! For the record my Gakkens fly also... EDIT: They fly even faster after I put Tom's stickers on them... just like a rice racer...

bsu legato Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 They can stuff the cyclones. All I want is an Alpha/Legioss and a Beta/Tread.Some Invid/Inbit would be nice as superposables... But I wouldn't buy any Cyclones/Ride Armor if they cost a nickel (I know some other mospeada fans will consider that heresy). Never have liked motorcylces though. Man, I am just the opposite, I always hated the Alpha/Legioss design,, but the Cyclone/Ride Armor on the other hand I thought looked very cool. Now an Alpha/Beta Legioss/Tread linked on the other hand looked really good, I think that is my problem with the Alpha/Legioss, it looks like half a plane to me. Anyhow, I thought I read somewhere that HG/Toynami are the only ones with rights to produce Mospeada toys, so if their line doesn't do it for me, I will probably be out of luck. Here is to hoping for a linking Beta/Tread You're both heretics, and should be stoned to death by an angry mob asap. Now...nobody throws a stone until I give the order. I think it looks pretty decent, overall. However, there's a few features that do bug me. The nose and cockpit looked much better on the Imai kit. Look at the picture Jung posted of his kit, for example. I also liked the shape of the wings on the Imai better than Toynami's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Rogers Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 i wouldn't be surprised if the price drops. look at the yf-1r. it was 80, then it dropped to like 50-60 I wouldn't talk when the Yamato VF-1's were ¥6,800 then dropped to like $26 shipped on eBay. That's about 35% of its original worth (assuming S/H was about 6 bucks) compared to the Toynami, which kept at least 62.5% of its value. Yeah, whatever... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3163466723 I thought we were talking about MIB ones, not opened and played with ones. Didn't someone see a VF-1J MPC being sold for 50 bucks on eBay recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundown Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Also, the whole nose/canopy area looks wrong to me. It doesn't seem out of scale, but out of shape. Does that make sense?Oh how I wish that 1) I had a lot of money, and 2) HG didn't screw up John Moscato's Legioss: Perfect Detail Version. If had the dough-dough I'd pay John to finish that, just so I'd have what is possibly the best MOSPEADA toy/model incarnation ever. That's odd that the nose would be thing that looks funny to ya as a fan of Moscato's sculpt. Moscato's Legioss is incredibly detailed and the craftsmanship fantastic, but I could never get past how stubby and chunky the nose looked in fighter mode. The MPC's nose actually makes both "Guardian" and fighter modes look passable... but I do admit there's something slightly off about it. Might be the canopy proportions in comparison to it. -Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawjaw Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hmm, it sounds like a lot of us want one but not for $80. If there are a lot more people like that out there, then prices will not drop that much. All it takes is two people to drive up bids on ebay.

Mostly release date, though price and if the Mospeada versions will be a "limited edition" release like the MPC Alpha are still unknown. The production run is the real thing, will Toynami produce both lots all at once or will they wait until the US requirements are met before doing the Japanese market versions? Benefit of later release for Mospeada versions is QC might jump. Yeah I'm living in hope, but what options do I have... Cyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicsp00n Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 There's been a clarification posted on Robotech.com that, yes the canopy will be clear. http://www.robotech.com/store/viewproductp...eord.php?id=197 So everyone can stop crying about that one point, at least.

Graham Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 As Capt America (John Moscato) mentioned earlier, those pics are obviously of a test shot, so as John said the toy shown in the pics is basically the toy we are going to get. If Toynami are at the stage where they can put out test shots, that means the tooling is complete and Toynami won't be making any major changes now. Oh we might get slightly smaller seem lines on the production toy, but that's it. As for the canopy, well I'm pretty sure that they just used the same blue plastic as the rest of the toy in the test shot and painted it a metalic blue. Maybe they just didn't have any clear plastic when they made that test shot. Actually, test shots are often just made using whatever color spare plastic the factory has laying around. I'm sure the production toy will have a clear canopy. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 This might be a somewhat radical suggestion, but has anyone tried emailing Toynami and asking them directly about the canopy and seams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
