Major drool! So nice!

I’m hoping this figure can put a cap on my Gundam collecting, especially when the Zaku arrives. I love MB and MC but having these classics will be all I need now. That is until MB G Gundam happens. If so, I may even break off from Macross to ruin myself getting my hands on those. 

I still want a MB/MC Zeta, Nu, and Sazabi. And the entire 0083 GP series. Also the NT-1. And a bunch of others from the UC era. Some of the grunt mobile suits would be nice too.

All the gaudy newer Gundams I can skip, but I love the classic UC mobile suits.

I agree. I guess if MB GP02 was made, I'd get that too. My Robot Damashii version is on the way and so far, pics have been amazing.

Although the silhouette pic looks cool this thing is a $200 let down.  The wings won’t even stay attached.

That sucks to hear. I guess I dodged a bullet as I was close to ordering one. I think my old Special Color version is good enough for my needs.

Save your money.  I do not recommend.  The special color version looks better color-wise.  And the wings stay on at least as well as this new one does.

Haha, thanks! The wings on mine stay on pretty well. One of them is a bit looser than the other.

I’m loving the AFC 1/100 line and will continue to get every release that I like and doubles of each F-14.  August 16 is soon for the next one.  I really hope that a SR-71 gets released.  Come on Hachette.

My Marvel Legends 80th Captain America and Jubilee BAF Cyclops should be coming in this week.

That sucks. I canceled my preorder a few weeks ago because I couldn't justify the size. (he says while looking at bigger and more expensive omega supremes).

As a newcomer to the line, I am becoming a huge fan, as well. My focus is a bit narrower, though (F-4, F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18....and if I ever come across F-22 or F-35).

A new addition dominates my Gundam Converge shelf:

I found this White Base on YJA for 60% off retail, so I couldn't pass it up.

Interior hangars are nicely detailed...

It's got space for the usual complement of Mobile Suits, of course...

...and it's bristling with optional weaponry.

I've given it a prominent spot in my living room.  ^_^

I think the Godzilla on the left is surprised you are bigger than them. 

If one were to weather that Gundam ship/base, it would pop. You know some panel lining, etc.

Do you have the wings plugged all the way in? Myself and some others thought we had a weak wing connection too but the wings should plug into the body, I can hold my entire figure up by the end of either wing, super solid.

So, I don't have any idea why, but I know somewhere I've got what I think is a Matchbox "Blue Thunder"... painted in firefighting markings.

Edit:  Apparently there was a whole line of these?  Funny, they don't list the fire one though. :lol:

We need captions for this photo.

Knight Rider, Airwolf, and A-Team.

That's an 80's dream team right there. Nice!

Sweet! Now get a Street Hawk bike to go with them!

Thanks!  I’m happy to have these 3 along with other TV and movie vehicles in the same scale.  If a Street Hawk bike was ever released then I’d get it.

I think I’ve seen that one.  The front looks big though.

I had the Blue Thunder that was about 1:18 Scale. Maybe a hair under. came with one or two pilots.  It was a GREAT toy.  Always wished I'd had an Airwolf that size to match! 

There’s an Ertl 1/18 Airwolf.

just a quick pic of my July/Aug loot. Already my 3rd MB Strike (first two for aile strike, and gunbarrel pack) in prepration for the launcher/sword pack. Hopefully that will be the last Strike, lol. Also, the MB Laevatein is my 2nd one (already have the 1st release years ago). Again in preparation for the flight pack add-on.

They did. AMT made a 1/48 scale one. I built one back in the day, along with the Blue Thunder.
