There's no thread for Macross, Mospeada, Southern Cross and >Robotech
We've been getting lots of releases lately so let's discuss them
Takara Tomy Legioss/Alpha is releasing early next year and new pics came out

I was collecting for a bit, but the high prices for the bigger stuff and the small sizes of the cheaper options just turned me off after a while. The Threezero stuff looks cool though, a good balance of size and price. Though I gotta be honest and say I'd most love something like a Transformers Voyager scale line with regular releases under $90, or something.

>Transformers Voyager scale
you might be in luck, this thing is smaller and cheaper than the Sentinel Legioss

doesn't state the scale but the pilot is Diaclone sized (3 cms or 1/60) so probably 14-15 cms tall or 6 inches
Just don't look at the forearms...

I always kind of wanted to get into Macross because Valkyries look so cool and playing SRWY made me finally have an excuse to buy one.

would love to but it's like $500 and that's without even accounting shipping the huge ass box. That one's for the diehard and wealthiest fans only
>>11552781
the one in your pic (Hi Metal R) is kind of affordable if you can find it close to MSRP. They might be small and have barely any metal but they're great desk toys that don't feel scary to handle like many other Macross figures
I've been waiting for the Tiny Sessions VF-1s but it's been so long it might not happen. The ones that did come out look fun and affordable at least

I would buy it if I knew they would make the tread to go along with it, but at this size and price I think they might not even consider it. I think the tread is way cooler than the legioss, it has that funky destroid vibe even if the plane mode looks like a folded up robot, I didn’t buy the riobot legioss until I saw they were making one to accompany it.

>>11552396
This on the other hand I’ll definitely buy, Takara will make the tread for sure. And if anyone can figure out how to make the legioss transformation intuitive instead of a fiddly mess it’s going to be them. The Riobot one looks good but it’s not fun at all to transform compared to every Valkyrie toy I’ve owned.

I know they're dated as hell but I kinda want one of the old non-transforming Revo Valkyries. Something about the style does it for me.

I got the KO for $120. They omitted all of the ratchets on it. Plastic quality doesn't feel quite as good as the real one. Paint is a bit more dull on some parts like the eyes. A few bits don't have the best tolerances, like the windows on stealth gao can pop out and the helmet doesn't stay completely closed. Comparing the two side by side its definitely worse but for the price I paid its very good and hard to recommend the real one over it.

sounds rough to me, rather save for the real deal, the cheap plastic may not age well either

This is why there's no Macross thread anon, people have tried making them before and they always die, you've got absolutely no chance on current year /toy/ it's almost entirely poorfags and ESL shonentards left posting here. Just gotta talk about it in the Robot Damashii general since that's always been the mecha toy thread rather than purely for RDs, it's slowed down massively the past year and keeps dying barely 100 posts in.

Mospeada suffers from this curse where the very first toys were so good, nothing comes close to that bang for your buck and durability to this day. And yet there have been no reprints, it's mental
>>11574295
you might be right, still crazy that such huge franchises with several toy releases a year has basically no traction on /toy/
