[thebigr]

a small collection of "i told you so" links and quotes.

- "There is a good amount of die-cast which is about the only positive thing going for it... I got mine case fresh and when I opened it, it was very obvious the left wing was bent... Transformation is not fun at all. Takes too much effort just to get from fighter to battroid... The hands are a serious concern... The left landing gear on mine is bent from the inside of the leg and does not drop down properly...

Oh yeah and at one point a small hollow square plastic piece fell out of the leg, and I have no idea what it goes to. "

"...in spite of promises to the contrary the QC of the Aoshima "Shin Seiki Gokin" Legioss toys is across-the-board even worse than Toynami's. His short list of complaints includes toys broken in the boxes, including broken heads, glue-smeared canopies, missile hatch panel problems, and mis-formed wing parts..."

"The first commenter claims to have contacted Aoshima customer service after his Legioss' arm broke off right out of the package, and was told that the company will need another month to respond due to the massive nuber of complaints."

copy & paste the links if they don't work

as of yesterday, HLJ hadn't shipped their orders so you better CANCEL while you can.

I am so happy I cancelled my orders (Six! what was i thinking!?!?!) in July.

watch the prices of the vintage Gakken shoot up this holiday.

Nice, now I feel better about my Toynami Alpha!

Got mine today: Legioss AFC-01H
I was expecting something as good as Bandai's soul of chogokin.
Man this toy sucks a ton. The paint is unbelievibly awfull, parts don't fits and I didn't try to transform it yet.
A genuine rip off. I think I will leave it in armo fighter mode and will try to improve the overall finish.
I'm eagerly waiting for CM's mospeada figure.

What they really needed to do was a have a ground up re-design and not try to shortcut it with a suspect design in the first place. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh@t and the Toynami alpha already had so many inherint design flaws that Aoshima may have to invest more money than they may have initialy wanted too to get the quality up to the stuff they engineer themselves.

where is possible to see pics of Aoshima Mospeada?

I expected as much

What with aoshima's current lack luster QC track record for non-transforming toys and its joint venture with Toynami
