Hope it’s a good one. @Mommar, since I think you said the Eaglemoss quality was hit and miss, what other Trek ships are worth picking up? I don't have too many. There are over 100 so I can't comment on all of them either. The D and E were both good, though the E is so small it loses some details. I like the Vor'Cha and the K'Tinga too. The TOS D5 and Romulan Warbirds are both really plain but then they were in the shows too so they're accurate and are done well. I don't know if it's possible to get the Titan anymore but I do like that one. Unfortunately a lot of the classic federation ships can suffer because they can't get the nacelles straight, so the NX, and Constitution/Miranda ships can be crooked. Though they're also brittle being so small, my TOS Ent showed up with the left pylon snapped off. Ordering from Eaglemoss directly is the best way to mitigate that because they'll replace them. They don't always have everything available though. If you want reviews and closeups for ALL of them look up IrishTrekkie on youtube. He's jovial, and a bit forgiving imo, but you get an idea what all of them are like. 6 hours ago, Zx31 said: Some non-Macross while I wait for Sheryl, HMR Elint, and Missile Regults So what is your impression of the C?

dafob Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Long time lurker, first time poster. Decided it was time to join you fine folks and jump into the world of Macross collecting. I've been wanting to jump in over the past decade but the Yamato prices were exorbitant to me. So I got into Masterpiece Transformers and third party figures. Fast-forward to present time and MP TF/3P figures are well into the $100+ per figure. Now all of a sudden Yamato/Arcadia figures don't seem so expensive anymore. Anyways, I'm no where near at the level that you guys are but these are the figures I've managed to pick up since X-mas. I don't expect to get every figure out there, but I want to at least get the key figures. Down another rabbit hole I go...

Hope it’s a good one. @Mommar, since I think you said the Eaglemoss quality was hit and miss, what other Trek ships are worth picking up? The XL ships look fantastic and appear to have better QC. As for the smaller ships, my favorites are the Enterprise A and D, the Akira class, the Prometheus, TOS Enterprise, and the future Enterprise D. The first movie Enterprise, although the exact same mold as the A, doesn't have any of the Aztec surface detail or really any detail at all. She's not even the right color. Movie Enterprise is supposed to be white. The Reliant also looks great, but mine had a crooked nacelle. Had to break it off and glue it back on at the correct alignment.

Plus, it was half the price of the Arcadia reissue 1/60. But I think getting the 1/60 VF-1J Max and a 1/60 YF-21 will complete my immediate collection... for now.

Mommar Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I have received a response from Eaglemoss. "I have requested a reship for this item." I don't think they realize I pointed out another member here had the exact same problem and even the demo version from their own website is off and there could be something at the factory that's the issue...

Focslain Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 So my order from CDJapan arrived over the weekend. Only got the two Macross F CDs due to the songs from Uta, but yeah I'm going to start collecting the blu-rays since they have english sub-titles. Also no, the image on the magus bride cd is not a mis-print. Have a feeling the image on season two will match with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
