    I recognize the drop ship and the APC in the above picture. What is the mech? I don't recall seeing that in Aliens. Carl

    I'm pretty sure this Legioss was designed with a future Tread planned. Note the stand they are using, it makes use of the Tread's connecting boom. So they already have that part molded. While I agree that its eventual release may depend on how well the Legioss sells, I tend to think that if they make one Tread that they will make all three. At that point the expensive molds have already been made, it is trivial just to pour a different colored plastic into them. Carl

    Agreed... it looks like they loaded their 3D model upside down before applying the super-deformed transformation.

    Hey... you guys making fun of my ride armor? Carl

    Like!? I love it. I don't suppose you have any plans to make instructions. I'd buy a set if they were available. Great job!!! Carl

    Thanks. Have we seen a VF-1 with a fold booster? I don't recall ever seeing one. If we have, would someone post a picture? Carl

    Just getting into these myself and haven't been able to read all 391 prior pages of this thread so sorry if some of this has been brought up before. Anyways, I'm curious how Bandai determines which VF-1 to release next or what add-ons/accessories to make. Do they accept suggestions? If so, I'd assume you'd likely need to be in Japan for it to mean much. Anyways, seeing all the crazy armors they have made for the 1/60 line I am hoping they show the same love to the 1/48 line. I assume the GBP armor is a given at some point. I hope they also do the VT-1 and VE-1. And thinking about some other options they could include. Do you think they would consider the Stampede? What about the atmospheric booster? Or the Gerwalk armor? I'd love to see this sitting next to the GBP armor on my shelf someday. Or what about the Thunder Hummers armor? I don't think this is considered cannon but that didn't stop FEXT from making their OWL One accessories. Any other add-ons you guys want to see considered? Is it worth trying to get someone in Japan to make these suggestions through official channels? Thanks, Carl

    That is never stated in the movie. That was just the only way I saw to explain why they were blowing up all across the galaxy at the same time. The only place we actually saw any combat was around the planet the Emperor was on. Yet we saw several Star Destroyers crashing elsewhere, Jakku, Cloud City, etc. Agreed about Lando's creepy line at the end. My daughter-in-law told me that was to set up some spin-off Lando series. Not certain if she's actually read that somewhere or is just reading that into the way it was presented. It certainly felt very forced and out of place... and if you think about it for more then 2 seconds... creepy. Carl

    Just saw it myself and wasn't certain about spoilers either so I'll play it safe. Over all I enjoyed it far more then the last one but there are just so many questions about the end. Below are some of my questions and comments on the movie... if there are answers to some of these questions please share. And one general comment that I have about the space ship physics used in all 3 movies of the latest trilogy. I described it to a friend by saying it just makes space feel far too small, all the turns too tight, and very small pans from one point of action to the next. My friend agreed saying that yes, it all looked to him as a kid swooping toy models around as he held them in his hand, which I agree may be a better description. I remember reading that some of the scenes in the original Star Wars, A New Hope, were actually modeled after real combat flight footage from World War II. True or not the shots certainly felt far more real to me in the earlier movies and at least felt like they had some real world physics behind them. In this last trilogy I don't get a sense of any real world physics and the movements appear to be limited in the same way a toy would be since it must stay within arms reach of the child holding it. Did anyone else get that impression? If so was that done intentionally, or just an indication that the special effects were rushed to get done in time? Thanks, Carl

    Thanks... I'm in no rush. I've been waiting since April already. I was just worried that something might have gone wrong as so many were getting theirs and I hadn't even seen a shipping notice yet. All makes sense now... Carl

    I see many of you have received your Yellow orders. Thought I better check on mine. I placed my order with BigBadToyStore back in April and I've not seen any shipping notice or anything. I logged into my account there and see it listed as a pre-order with "Estimated Arrival: December 2019". Has anyone with an order from BBTS received theirs yet? Trying to determine if I should be worried or not. I'm guessing no as I think most of the ones posted were shipments direct from Japan but thought I should verify. If that is the case, any educated guesses as to when BBTS will start making shipments? Carl

    Could you please post a link or an image? I cannot recall seeing this detail in the line art at the moment. Could you post a link to this 'fan art' image? I'd love to see what they revealed.

    I believe he is looking at the image Sildani posted. If you look at that image at full resolution you can see where it says: UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS It looks like the font size changed just ahead of the N in FEDERATION. Its subtle so maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there. Carl

    Amazing work. Based on the end of the video I assume we'll be seeing a Tread transformation video soon. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work, Carl

    Care to elaborate? Not certain what you are referring to. Carl

    I don't think you are seeing 3D printed layers. I believe these are rendered images and you are looking at the underlying mesh. The lines you see appear to be the edges where triangles meet. Look at the Armored VF-1J, it is actually hovering above the base, no way that is a physical object. And I don't think the base itself is casting a shadow in any of the images. Carl

    Thanks!!! Payment just sent. Carl

    Arg!!! I think I saw this thread when it first went up and then I forgot about it. Is it too late to get in on this? Carl

    I'd love to see what would happen if they offered the job to J. Michael Straczynski. Considering that the WB won't let him play in the B5 sandbox I bet he'd jump at the chance to play with SW.

    Yes, he posted while I was typing my post. It wasn't my intent to be redundant. As I also asked a few questions I didn't feel compelled to go back and delete that first part. Sorry...

    Adam Savage’s Tested now has posted a video about the Chronicle Collectibles replica of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. https://youtu.be/N6a5b-oWfWM Reading through the comments has prompted a couple questions. Comments like this "lifeboat design clearly based on Generations refit" has me wondering just what was changed on the exterior as part of this refit. I can find some information on bridge changes but I couldn't fine anything related to the lifeboats. Any good links that detail changes made between the series and Generations? And another question that I've wondered about for a while... what is this arrangement on the back of the Saucer Section? I found this image that details many of the surface features but this doesn't appear to be labeled. They don't have the same color as the surrounding windows so I tend to think they are something else. It seems like a rather unique and prominent feature but I haven't found anything detailing what it is exactly. Just curious if anyone knows? Considering its placement, I'm tempted to think it might be some sort of Optical landing system used by incoming shuttle traffic but that is just a guess. Carl

    From this image I would say that appears to be some detailing added to the surface. Carl

    The Chronicle Collectibles replica of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D prompted me to do a little digging and see what other replicas were out there and I came across one I wasn't aware of before, the QMX U.S.S. Enterprise D Artisan Replica. This was a 1:850 scale model and measured 29.5 inches long x 22 inches wide and sold for $9,995 back in 2012/2013. Ouch... Here are some links where you can read more: https://qmxonline.com/blogs/news/13844237-behind-the-scenes-our-model-shop https://www.geekalerts.com/star-trek-the-next-generation-enterprise-d-artisan-replica/ https://qmxonline.com/products/creating-the-u-s-s-enterprise-d-artisan-replica http://collider.com/qmx-star-trek-next-generation-enterprise-replica/ This was a limited production run of 50 models but honestly I can only find references to #0001 and #0002 here: http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=48714 Here is one of the better pictures I've found. And is it just me or does the aztecing seem off/odd? I don't remember the copper and brown colors in the aztecing at all, only shades of blueish gray. I'm curious what others think of this replica and I'm also curious if anyone has seen any indication that there are more then 2 of these out there. Its crazy price tag almost makes the $1701 for the Chronicle Collectibles replica look acceptable and from what I can tell I think they did a better job on the aztecing. I hope that is the correct term for the aztec pattern used in the paint job. Thanks, Carl

    For how brief a period? Where are you getting this news? Is there a newsletter they are sending out or something? Just looking at that link I see no way to tell. This could be the price for all pre-orders made before they start shipping in Q4 2020 for as far as I know. So I assume there must be an additional source of information that I am missing and I'm very curious what that is. Thanks, Carl
