Golden Arms Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Nice. I was able to get Cyclops and Collosus from Hasbrotoyshop. I have the dark phoenix and Cyclops two pack shipping from the Toys R US webstore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks. Yeah HTS is where I got my extra Cyclops. I got Marvel Select Colossus to go with the team. Also have a few others coming in. My 2 sets of Dark Phoenix/Cyclops should be arriving Monday. I have a TRU 15% off coupon and TRU rewards so I'm going to price adjust the sets to get them super discounted.

Tking22 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I've gotta stop buying Lego sets that I haven't budgeted for. ToysRus sent me an in stock notification email for the Saturn V, I've heard nothing but good things so I had to grab one. Got the Ecto 1 and 2 from the reboot to complete the Lego Ghostbuster releases, I have the first Ecto 1 and Firehouse HQ as well, and I got the Simpsons house just because. Now who needs the Quick E Mart? I doooooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I only bought this set for the TV Super Packs for the HMR's TV VF-1J. To be honest, this toy is so small for my hands. Hope the upcoming VF-2SS is better. I will probably repaint those yellows to red. Edited July 22, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Filled in a gaping whole in my fleet. Now I just need an illuminated Enterprise-C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they make an Enterprise D and E???!!! These models came out around 2003-2005. Bandai released an original movie Enterprise, A, E, NX-01, and Voyager. Aoshima released a completed and illuminated Enterprise-D a couple years back that could saucer sep too. You can still find them on the secondary market from time to time.

mechaninac Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 They produced the Refit Enterprise 1701 and 1701-A variants, the NX-01, and Voyager in 1/850, and the E in 1/1700, and that was it. Today, you can find them on eBay, but they are pricey as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The Aoshima release is probably the best completed Enterprise out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I've picked up a few of the Art Asylum ships over the years as well, but none of them can compare quality-wise, and while they're accurate enough, the construction and painting are pretty sloppy all around on most of them. Their best ones are probably the Excelsior, Ent-E, and the refit "All Good Things" Ent-D. The Bandai Refit 1701 is a beautiful kit, but it needs a bit of tweaking to get the lighting to look right. Mostly the bulbs are just too bright, and the deflector dish needs some kind of glazing or filter so it isn't completely transparent, and the wrong color.

spacemanoeuvres Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Received a big haul from "From Japan" today! Got a relatively good deal on everything because of the various promotions they were running (10% off rakuten, 20% off EMS shipping) and no currency conversion fees. I'm particularly happy about the low viz limited version. It's MISB and set me back $230 USD shipped via EMS. That was with 1800 yen tax because it was purchased from a store. Not too bad considering someone on the board tried to sell me one for 400 USD I think the only 1/48 out there that I don't have, and really want, is the VF-1J stealth super set All of my wildest dreams are coming true; I love you macross lol Edited July 23, 2017 by spacemanoeuvres a word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I got tired of waiting and decided on getting the cheapest one from Mandarake at Y11000. The last standalone release sold at YJA for Y9600, I believe. And that's without proxy and shipping fees yet. Atleast for Y11000, I got a 'free' Roy VF-1S. But seriously, this transforming toy really feels small in my hands. But somehow fits with the rest of my Gundam Robot Damashii's. Hahaha! 22 hours ago, sh9000 said: Congrats on getting the HM VF-1S Roy. How much did you pay for the Mospeada book? Thanks! I got the book for Y5000 at Mandarake. I've been ignoring this book ever since and forgot to buy it when I bought all those VF books last month. So when I saw the last two copies available this month, I grabbed one. There's still one available as I'm replying this, so grab it now. It's a great book. 19 hours ago, Darotower said: Mospeada Book is the ultimate edition! Congrats on getting it and the rest of the stuff! Thanks Darotower! I'm really loving it.

Those 1/100 super parts are getting tough to find at anything close reasonable prices. If you can find a good deal on the HM Roy, it's not that much more than what the standalone super part set is going for. I recently scored a loose, complete HM VF-1S on YJA (through Buyee) for just Y7750 including fees and shipping. I also found a partly-used HM super parts sticker sheet on Ebay for $0.75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
