  1. Really liked this episode……of the Mandalorian. 😜 All kidding aside great episode. Love the N1 too so it will be nice to get some kits of it as the Fine Molds is extremely hard to come by now. Chris
  2. And also more “teen” drama type shows. Which is Ok in small doses but to bank most of a series on the model gets very tiresome. IMO JMS has already come out saying he is updating the story to reflect more modern politics etc. which is sad because after rewatching the original it still very much reflects the modern day climate of internal conflicts, authoritarianism, mouthpiece media manipulation etc. Wherever you may fall on the political spectrum it applies and works for most as we see the “other”side in the “bad” guys and our own in the “good” guys. Unfortunately, too often in todays story telling there is never any nuance and is always told as “my political side good your side is bad. “ and nothing can be left open to interpretation.
  3. I just finished a Warlock class Destroyer and a Hyperion Class Heavy Cruiser models and now working on one of my favorites the Omega Class Destroyer. I still want MOOOORE! Lol Chris
  4. “No, no I wouldn’t change a thing”. - close up of Burners lighting and the the rumble that follows…. damn 😧 as big a Tomcat fan I am, I don’t think there was ever a meaner looking aircraft than the F-4. Chris
  5. I’ll just leave this here.
  6. If only I could like this comment more than once! Chris
  7. I’d love some Buck Rogers too. Thunder fighters, Marauders, and Hawks ship would be so cool. Make it the Glen Larson collection. Chris
  8. Eaglemoss announcement sent in email to collectors in Dec. Correction: I misspoke, it is the final ship. Whether the figures continue I don’t know.
  9. Daaaaang, check out Kirks thigh gap. Lol Chris
  10. IIRC the Galactica series is done after the Astral Queen release. Chris
  11. Becaaause I’m Batman. Becaaaause I’m Batman. Mysterious video, Because I’m Batman. love it! Chris
  12. Yeah, it’s clearly larger than the original Titan but not XL scale like the Cerritos. Weird. Here are some comparison shots at similar angles: biggest difference I see besides scale and coloring is the different Bussard collector shroud. I can see some other details and refinements but that is the biggest difference. I want to get this but I also don’t want them to just turn around and immediately release an XL like they are doing with the Roccinante. Chris
  13. First images of the Lower Decks U.S.S. Titan release. Available for preorder. https://shop.eaglemoss.com/us/hero-collector/star-trek/uss-titan-ncc-80102-starship
  14. I get it! Disappointed I didn’t make the connection when I watched the episode myself lol. @Bolt in episode 4, when they are sneaking into the Palace to get Slave 1. The chef droid in the kitchen comes at Boba with knives and cleavers like Grievous did to Kenobi in RotS. Chris
  15. I finally received my copy of CS-02. Very nice figure and accessories but MAN that was a difficult transformation for me. So much rotate and then rotate and then rotate again. The guide is basically useless as the images are so small and the figure is black so it’s hard to see or maybe my middle aged eyes just don’t see as well anymore. I needed to find a transformation video on YouTube to figure it out and even then had problems due to multiple rotation points and making sure joints are in the right direction. Will take a few transformations for me to get it down but I also won’t claim to be that intuitive when t comes to complex transformation skills that many of you have. Still love the figure for its sheer beauty, but I found the CS-01 J-20 to be a little more transformation friendly. Chris
  16. I have NO faith in this show whatsoever. Couldn’t even get past episode 3 of the first season. Sir Patrick’s soapboxing and HORRIBLE writing ruined a character for me. Lower Decks is the only new Trek I actually like. Such a shame. Chris
  17. I agree with @Roy Focker this episode would’ve made a better first episode. MY edit/view order would be this: Episode 4 first. Then add the Sarlaac escape to the beginning of episode 2 and let episode 2 play out more or less as it did with some minors changes….like cutting the twins and Black Krasanntin segment (his sequence in episode 4 is a far better intro to the character) and add in a new intro to him getting a Rancor…maybe just have him purchase one on his own, but let the rest of the Rancor stuff stay the same. Next Eliminate Episode 3 and continue on with whatever is coming next. Chris
  18. Yup, ordered direct from Eaglemoss. It already takes long enough for them to get things in stock without having to wait even longer for BBTS to get things. I’m still waiting on the Armored Galactica and the XL Sulaco. Dates for them have been pushed back a little already. It’s pretty common with Eaglemoss unfortunately. Chris
