 Orindlt, your massive hoard inspired me to take some pictures of my new Eaglemoss XL Enterprise, so this flood of images is your fault! :)

And, as I was handling it, the deflector dish fell off AGAIN!  GRRRRR!

Anyway, here we go.  I'll spoiler most of these so those who don't want a flood of the Enterprise can avoid it.

I took that picture and felt there needed to be a Klingon marauding around, so I took it again with extra bonus Klingon DLC!

The Diamond Select Enterprise B  is the same scale as the Eaglemoss XL Enterprise, so I had to do a couple of shots of that.

It's pretty clear in the first shot, but you can REALLY see how crooked the deflector spike is here.

All in all, I thought she was pretty photogenic.

for a TOS Enterprise, it looks quite smart! Not a fan of the display stand design though.. I'm sure they could have come up with something better and less obstructive.

Eaglemoss sent me the USS Aventime... for my money, the most gorgeous star ship I've seen in a long time... this should be the next Enterprise design after E... very good model, all tampo is spot on and engines are straight. Great detail other than the plain blue deflector dish, but that's a nitpick really...

It’s a shame the deflector dish sucks because that XL Ent looks pretty great.

Yikes! Sorry to hear about the crooked deflector dish. Did you buy it direct from Eaglemoss? They should replace it if you email them about it.

TOS Enterprise is so far the best of the XL line. Eaglemoss doesn't seem to have problems lining up the window paint when there are far fewer of them. :rolleyes:

Hoping for an XL refit Enterprise that fixes the problems of the smaller release (which they did address with the A). Namely the wrong color and complete lack of detail.

Mmmm not really digging the design of the Aventine. I also don't like how the concept C looks from the front/back. It makes me think of an overweight duck struggling to swim. :wacko:

Anyone pick up any Discovery ships yet?

Ok, finally a toy to place up here. (Arrived Friday)
Got this second hand off  fellow MWF member @aaajin. He even threw in a display base.

Here it is ready to unleash its’ full payload, later I’m going to move it to my bookcase in fighter mode but needs some cleaning first.

@orindlt: Correction there. It's not Samurai Maul that you quoted, its Sohei (Monk) Maul. Honestly, Maul looks like an Oni as pictured. 

Got this Thursday morning from Jungle (used) and aiming for the 171EX. Debating if I want to per-order the SOC Dragon Caesar or not (I have a soft spot for kaiju(s) all thanks to the Gojra franchise). :lol:  

Edit: Corrected and clarified.

I got my shipment in from HLJ.

The Red Skull approves of the damage done to the wallet.

I had time to open one thing and choose the Eva. I was very impressed, Revoltech improved on the original design by adding a revoltech joint to the hip. The original figures could only move the legs back and forth, no side to side. The added joints fixes that so it acts like a universal. It does not come with the same accessories as the original but the lance lance is great and it comes with plenty of hands. 20180203_071509.thumb.jpg.053167ee6fa70e1e12e45c900a1bf572.jpg

And they aren't using they usual revoltech stands, they have switch to using the figma stands. Got to find some time to open my new Hi-Metal R!

The detail and size is effing great!, so damn happy with this figure! :D

If you don't mind me asking, did you get this shipped to the USA and if so how did you get one without an orange plug?

hmmm, that is rather nice isn't it! And I'm curious about this "slipstream drive" and its benefits/advantages.. might have to go do some googling!

@spanner: The Voyager episode titled: "Hope and Fear" with USS Dauntless had a slipstream warp drive capability maybe of use to you. ;) So in short, Captain Ezri Dax (from her humble beginnings from DS9) as has the first Federation ship that has a Quantum slipstream warp drive capability.

When I hear Quantum Slipstream drive, my mind goes back to the old T.V. show: Quantum Leap in where Scott Bakula had to go back in history and correct historical errors in the timeline (this way before he was cast as Captain Archer for the Enterprise NX-01 series).

The Kurogane Finish Big O is gorgeous. I love mine, but I haven't taken any pictures of it.

Gonna open it this weekend. Need to make space for it again in the Detolf. I never put away Figma Roger Smith in anticipation of this release :lol:

They also use it in the episode "Timeless" where it kills the entire Voyager crew except for Harry and someone else I can't remember because Voyager is that unmemorable. It was one of the better Voyager episodes though.

Was hoping for 15% but I guess 5% is okay too. Too bad most everything I have on preorder currently is Order Stop.

I know you were asking Alex, but I also recently received the Megatron re-issue. I purchased it from NY specifically to ensure it would not come with the orange plug.
