    Hi-Metal R

    Yes, I have one, it's was ok for it's day, but an old design at this point, and pails in comparison to the HMR. I'd say watch the For Sale threads here, maybe you'll get lucky.
  2. Judging by how quickly the 1J went on pre-order night and the jury wasn't really in yet on how it would actually look and handle in hand, I'm willing to bet going forward, these are going to be extremely hard to get on pre-order night. The scalpers now know they are excellent quality toys. I hope I'm wrong.
  3. Well, the fact that they are ACTUALLY making SC or "Masters" figures is a good thing I suppose. I wouldn't mind having all the main cast if they are relatively cheap and decent quality. I bet they don't sell very well though...
  4. I, like many 40 somethings around who still make models, really miss the ILM (and all the other companies) days, who made the sci-fi movies we all grew up with in the 70's and 80's come alive with their countless hours put into the building, lighting, and filming of actual models. CGI has gotten so good now, you can't really tell anymore, but I still miss the old ways.

    Got back to fighter fairly easily today.. Prob gonna panel line this bird tomorrow.
  6. Yuppers, that 1st shot is absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed learning about how BIG the large filming model was in the magazine, and how they had to use coolers blowing on it to keep the lighting cool...LOL
  7. Ok....now that was just all kinds of AWESOMENESS!!!
  8. Sorry Dobber, but I have no doubt your repaint will be epic! Over here, Space Dock arrived today. The detail is pretty darn good on this... There are a ton of tiny white spots for windows, but they are very hard to see under normal lighting. It's a nice addition though. I'm glad I picked it up.
  9. Interesting idea....wonder what the price will end up being? Warp engines look horrible in the video, they didn't use smooth or extra smooth LED tape like they should have. Shouldn't have hotspots in the nacelles. In other news, I ordered the cool waterslide decal for the Aventime and I ordered the Space Dock directly from Eaglemoss, it was $5 off the other day. I'll post pics when it comes in. Also pre-ordered the Enterprise F Online Game Edition.
  10. I really need to take like a whole day and get some of my Yetistands back out of mothballs and change some Valks around and get them on some stands. Just not enough time anymore...

    Just got to Gerwalk and now Battroid. No issues, everything locks together great. Step 12 in the manual is important. Push down, then pull forward slightly to lock down the chest plate over the recessed cockpit.
  13. Anyone heard anything about the supposed reissue of Transform Element 01? I believe I heard reissue was supposed to be this month. TF Direct (where I ordered from and paid up front) says delayed until March, and March is almost up. I really want this guy!
  14. Hahahahahaaa! I want the little white one that doesn't quite fit in and know what to do and then straight bounces!

    Hi-Metal R

    Love it.
  17. I miss my Gamlin 22 sometimes ..Hi Metal R in that scheme would be epic..
  18. Well said. Clone Wars was great minus the clunker episode here and there, I never finished Rebels, but I was enjoying it up to the point where I left off, after Ezra got the holocron thingie and Ahsoka had it out with Vader. I need to finish the series I suppose at some point.
  19. Insert Joker GIF of Jack Nicholson ..."where does he get those wonderful toys???"
  20. Except that it would be 5 years from now and cost $500 from Arcadia....By then they'd have to redo the 19 AGAIN ...

    Hi-Metal R

    Mine arrived from AmiAmi via DHL this morning and is waiting on my porch for me when I get off work today! EDIT -- I must say, mad props to DHL for the easy way to skip the signature required thing and the guy actually reading where I requested he leave the package. Spot on DHL.
