    Another ghost from the British toybox, Matchboxs "Adventure 2000" line of die-cast future vehicles: https://mikepigottsdiecasttoysandmodels.wordpress.com/2022/02/08/adventure-2000-by-matchbox/ The "Raider Command" vehicle actually made it into the pages of "2000AD" when it was used as the basis for Judge Dredds main ride in the classic saga "The Cursed Earth" (not the first time that particular storyline would dance on the edge of copyright/trademark hell either!).

    So much this!! Loved it when I was so much younger, all the cool car chases and incredible jumps (Daisy Duke...) But now, I'd take the General Grant any day over a car with a traitor flag on it. As to von Daniken, my sympathy for his loved ones, but he was a cook. Literally everything that humanity has done in its long history, wiped away in favor of mythical space gods for which they found no proof for anything. Just like the Dukes of Hazzard when I was a kid, it was fun fantasy. Now...

    the nice thing about hot melt glue is that if you need to remove it, a little 91 percent alcohol will help pop it off the plastic.

    Man, that looks so fun. I'm in full support of this line.

    Anyone know of a good easily searchable visual database for Star Wars figures / vehicles etc? I need to sort out my collection of figures and their accessories and have no idea in a lot of cases of just what goes with what...

    So my FATTY landed... First because of the size of the feet the Mech has got some good weight to it! The colour is not as torques as I thought it't more like a pastel green. The articulation is top notch! the cockpit is easy to open and close, the head is a little loose making it rotate at the slightest touch... The only downside I have is the Balerant Pilot figure that has the problem you can't make him look forward. the way the neck cavity is made he always looks down!? I'll have to see if I can fix it. But other than that nothing to complain about! Great mech excellent printing, good quality plastic and metal. and finally a decent sized Balerant Mech in good quality! Almost everything I hoped it would be. 🤗 now just have to wait for the rest of the squad ,so Fyana has something to shoot at...🫢 NO!.... The boxes keep getting bigger...🥶

    Thanks @pengbuzzi will try that first did not think of that. It’ll probably get ugly for a while but will try to recreate those locks.

    Oh no! ScarJo! What happened to you?!?!

    Fresh from the Yokohama Volks expo – pics of the new IMS Patrathingy KOG and 1/100 Engage SR4 garage kit.

    Cults3D is certainly legit, but you're only paying for the digital files there. You'd still need one of us to print the parts for you.

    FAT CAT released an upscaled Real Grade God Gundam to 1/100 scale, along with some effect parts that are seen in the RG's Expansion Set (sadly, no horse): The original Master Grade needs a 2.0 upgrade, and this may just fit the bill.

    I mostly avoided the TFOne toys- to wit the only ones I own are Elita 1, Prime Changers Alpha Trion, Starscream, and Airachnid. Of the four, Airachnid is my favorite. Her alt mode is odd, but I like it. She's a hard design to make into a toy, especially at deluxe scale, and I think Takara did an excellent job, all things considered. Got my copies of SS86 Thundercracker and Windcharger today. I struggled a bit with the leg transformation on TC- I wasn't getting those internal bits to snap into the inner shin in jet mode, and thus the nacelle covers weren't closing fully, and the wings weren't lining up right. I fussed with it for a while, reading and rereading the instructions. Finally, I consulted a random reviewer's transformation vid and I noticed his just clicked nicely into place. So I fussed a bit more with it and finally found the sweet spot. Overall, it's a nice fig. It's still a far cry from the clean F-15 I wish it'd become, but it looks nice and I'm glad they changed up the transformation a little bit from the Classics/WFC figs. I wish they'd been able to rotate his chest bits into that huge hollow area to minimize the jet's side profile, and make the feet snap in flush to the legs instead of having the toes hanging out. I have other niggles as well, but I'll just leave it at that. IMHO, he at least looks marginally better than the latest MP Seeker in jet mode. Windcharger's not the best of the upscaled deluxe minibots, but I'm glad he's finally here. He's still a good-looking figure, but all that roof kibble doesn't tab very securely at all and with my copy's knee joints being very tight, the feet unfurl almost every time I try to change his pose. Too, as others have pointed out, the mostly hollow interior feet cavities are a bit of an eyesore. Again, despite his flaws, I'm glad, after what seems a very long wait, we finally have him.

    Same here. I felt kinda dumb when people brought it up 20 or 30 years later.

    True. My younger self had no idea about the dark side of that flag and what it symbolized. The show was just stupid goofy fun, typically 80s.
  24. Big s
    Reminds me of how a lot of us loved the show Dukes of Hazard and then everyone in the next generation points out the flag on the car.

    Admittedly, I own a copy of Chariots of the Gods, which I bought many years ago and read only that once. I've watched numerous eps of Ancient Aliens, and my wife and I like to laugh about some of the outlandish stuff they all come up with. However, I never noticed the subtle, or perhaps not so subtle in retrospect, racial demeaning of certain cultures while leaving others out in their alleged necessity for "otherworldly" assistance in creating their monuments. I appreciate your enlightening insights. Suddenly, it all eaves a bad taste in hindsight.
