Waiting on my Max 1A, since I shipped it slower, but should be here soon I hope!

Also, for those tracking the 1/100 fighter collection, next two are announced. ^_^

Don't know much about the F-1, but the F-4J looks like it might be this bicentennial scheme.

Swordfish II was 45 bucks on Amazon so why not ;) Has less diecast that I had imagined but its pretty good. 

 

Also got Figma Gridman

 

 

Nice. $45 is a super sweet deal for the Swordfish II, missed that.

For that price I think its worth it. It couldve use some more diecast IMO but its still very neat. Only minor gripe I have with it is the parts swapping for the rear landing gear. All it needs now is a @ChaoticYeti stand adapter ;);)

SOP Swordfish II

thanks @anubis20 Much appreciated it. It does look good this thing. After all this HMR craze, a rear swappable landing gear is no biggie.

I've wanted one of these for ages!

What's the scale size of that Swordfish?

As with my previous NECA purchases, am trying to make my collection a bit more sci-fi oriented and just a smidge less transformers-y. 

 

Believe it or not, the Stormtrooper was the planned purchase and Springer the impulse one. First Black Series figure I bought...was bloody difficult getting it out of the clamshell. Springer has a lot of character and engineering in him but needs at least 1-2 video reviews to appreciate the joints/clicks that need to be in place.

Just in case you wanted to up-size, good smile company is making a 1/48 scale at significantly higher cost...

Which is available through Amazon Japan, for only a little over $300 shipped (¥31,385 for me).

Thanks to your heads up. Can't wait to get mine.

I think a light wash and panel line will do this much good. Maybe some light weathering. The 1/48 GoodSmile version have that from factory, can't wait to receive that too.

You win some you lose some. In the long run, I will be happy just to have one on display, it looks to be bad ass with all the accessories and over the top articulation.

Glad you like the HMR Roy, what do you think of the grey compared to other version of Roy? The sickly pale grey sort of put me off, so I am on the fence on if I want to pay a high price for one.
