  1. Thanks for posting that video. I just might be convinced to give these bandai units a go...
  2. I liked that episode because the Hirogen forced Jeri Ryan to dress up as a sultry lounge singer. Forcing sexy women to sing is TIGHT...
  3. I always wanted a Glaug, and now I have one! Too bad the legs are so loose that I have to stretch out the arms to balance it on its own feet. Or, I can pose it like it's on a work break lol. Damn you Matchbox/HG!
  4. Don't know if it's been posted already, but this video attests to JJ's style of moving at breakneck speeds and just seemingly, or purposefully, just letting stuff happen. Are we still doing spoiler alerts?
  5. Dude. I thought my shock trooper would have the same markings as yours but mine says HG/Tatsunoko/exosquad/playmates 1994 on it. As for toy collecting and the money spent on it, c'mon you guys. ALL hobbies are pretty much a waste of time and money that could be directed into something more sensible, so arguing about what is worth what to whom is pointless-just have fun with it...
  6. I've been meaning to get my Turbo Duo up and running again. Unfortunately I can't find my Gate of Thunder CD which was my favorite game on it...
  7. That's the same toy that I posted about on the previous page but repackaged as an Exosquad toy. Minor changes to coloring and stickering, but basically the same toy. I wish I had picked up the Glaug and the hovertank when they were reissued as well...
  8. Ha ha, great (or demented) minds often think alike...
  9. Yeah it's a mess of a design but for some reason its finally caught my attention. I had heard that originally the Matchbox VF1 and the hovertank were supposed to have full transformation but it just didnt make it to the final design. That plane cost $65 new when I bought it back in the day; a lot of money today (IMO), but a fortune back then...
  10. Filler or not, allow me to say that I absolutely hated chapter 6. Annoying characters galore, with the only worthy part of the episode being the appearance of the T65s...
  11. I would hold on to that piece also. Looks like you weren't the only one with Fokker aspirations for their '55 1S; back in '99, when I finally got on to the internet, I bought a Bandai Strike that had been hand painted to Roy stripes as well. I cant say I blame you guys for doing so, Roy is the man! BTW, pardon my ignorance but I havent been into the toy scene for a long time. Bandai IS planning to release a '48 Roy DX, right? I might come out of self imposed toy buying exile to buy that for sure...
  12. Whatever happened with it? If you sold it, I might have bought it on ebay some years ago...
  13. I've given up on figures having accurate face sculpts. That Solo figure is pretty good, though...
  14. I'm so out of touch with the toy world that I didn't even know that Toynami had their own figures. I'll look into that. Edit: looks like there are some new figures in the near future but they measure in at 4.25"; don't know if that would fit into the cockpit, as the WWII pilot in there now barely measures up to 4" and even he's a tight fit. I see some older Toynami figures going for pretty high prices to me. By now I would've figured all of the Robotech toys would be sold for mere pennies, but I guess I'm not the only one on a nostalgia trip...
  15. I stumbled on my old Matchbox/HG VF1 in my storage unit and felt compelled to bring it home. I just bought a booster unit, GU11, racks and missiles for it; although I'm having a friend of mine 3D print extra tips for the missiles since I'm missing a few. I don't have a correct pilot because I refuse to pay what those Matchbox figures go for (especially a Roy Fokker one), so one of my WWII pilots is filling in for now lol. Maybe I'm going nuts in my old age, but thirty four years later I'm suddenly enjoying this fugly thing lol...
  16. Apples and oranges. Those luxury places are peddling ferraris and Lambos, exclusive handbags and designer suits into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the well heeled. We commoners in this forum are salivating over a mostly plastic toy that a very small percentage of the global population cares about that costs a little under $300. Not really the same thing and thus the level of inattention and lack of service...
  17. Good heavens. Talk about the most underwhelming, anticlimactic, weightless movie to ever end a grand story. Oh well, at least the T70 has a new paint scheme to collect. Personal ranking of the movies: #1 Empire #2 Rogue One #3 Hope #4 ROTS #5 screw everything else...
  18. Lol. At the end of the day, with over 40 years of fandom and expectations, this movie was never going to have it easy, but Abrams just guaranteed the Disney Wars trilogy to be as unlikable as possible...
  19. Nice trailer for sure. I just hope it doesn’t represent the only good parts of the movie...
  20. I decided the exact same thing during the first two episodes; the pace of the story just drags and they could've done the whole thing in one three hour movie or something...
  21. Cant be worse than Discovery. If I could sit through that I could probably endure another Trek reboot film...
  22. For the kind of money that thing will be asking for, I'd better be able to go into orbit with it in a fighter mode that's PERFECT looking...
  23. Need to see more fighter mode pics; for me it's all about the fighter mode, to which the '60 Yamato does perfectly, IMO...
