  1. Cool magnetic feet! Chris
  2. You mean he’s unhappy with “JL”???? HA! I hope that’s true! Chris
  3. Just got my XL Orville. It’s a nice looking Model with a good amount of die cast (main hull and upper loop) looking forward to other Union ships...particularly the Battlecruiser. Hope they make them.
  4. Same here. Only made it through 4 episodes I think. I really hate that a great character has been ruined. Chris
  5. Every time I see Kurtzman I think of Richters main henchman from the original Total Recall.....the one that gets knifed. Chris
  6. Well now we know you are not a Jedi. Lol
  7. Nice! Happy Birthday David. Chris
  8. As much as I like the Make Toys Seeker mold the did leave the “Boobs” hanging down in fighter mode which is a real shame. The fist 2 MP molds really did a great job with that. If they could just learn from each other we could potentially have an amazing toy for both molds. As it is from what we’ve seen from the CAD’s and can see in the silhouette neither looks promising. For those that want an accurate bot...how is having a bulky backpack and split wings accurate? So you get nice clean legs but sacrifice the visually dominant wings and torso? The fighter silhouette looks like it has a lot of junk hanging underneath too which would be a step back from the originals plus it MAY have some ridiculous hinge on the leading edge. Still need to reserve judgment until we see the real thing, but so far what could’ve been a vast improvement using the best of multiple different molds/techniques, both modes seem to have been compromised. Chris
  9. I’m with M’kyuun and JBO. What I don’t understand is with today’s engineering abilities, why can they not please both crowds....to a point. My personal issue is when the alt mod suffers. Make a good looking toon bot but still transform into a good looking alt mode. Chris
  10. Same here...I wonder how long it will take. Chris
  11. Absolutely Gorgeous!! Fantastic work as always. Chris
  12. I was going to ask what kit that was, but I see what you mean about the bow....no Narrowing/taper at all. Great build though! Chris
  13. Model on Garth! Chris
  14. Picture isn’t showing. Chris
  15. I’ll echo the sentiment about Amazon Japan. If it’s available there for a regular price it’s the best option and...after shipping....very competitive if not the cheapest price....with fast shipping. Chris
  16. Thanks guys. Only been around 30 days now so another month till port likely. Was just curious. Chris
  17. I went ahead and just ordered the standard finish one from AJ. Chris
  18. So any of the other Ferry shippers from NIppon Yasan get an update yet? Mine still nothing after July 8 dispatch from outward office of exchange. Just curious, I know ferry shipping takes a while. Chris
  19. Pretty sure it does. Never seen a release that didn’t come with a pilot and the product description on HLJ says it’s included. Chris
  20. I noticed that some of the markings that are on both are actually different between the 2 versions. Look at the “101” and ejection seat arrow and instruction markings. The premium finish versions are larger than the standard versions. Looks like the only Major marking missing from the standard version is the Megaroad One marking on the ventral stabs. I’d really like the PF version but really don’t want to deal with proxy services. AJ has never done me wrong yet and they use fast shipping. That being said still apprehensive about putting in an order as they cannot be canceled after the 31st of this month and then the PF is offered from other standard stores. Chris
  21. Very much looking forward to this. Chris
  22. When I heard that all I hear in my head is the failure music from “The Price is Right”. Lol
  23. Who is selling the PF version? All the regular stores just have the standard version. Chris
