borgified

Hmm.. The Eaglemoss Shenzhou caught me eye (and no I have not seen any of the Discovery episodes even if I wanted to). Just a thought: I wonder if the Borg Collective will make a re-appearance in this series as TNG, Voyager and Enterprise had them in various episodes (more in TNG and Voyager). Did the writers/directors in Star Trek purposely name the ship after a place in China of the said name? As for the Quantum Slipstream warp drive as @Loliconmentioned, make sure that don't you kill yourself in the process when warping into subspace folds.. Edit: Added more detail from original post.

And now you're on the waiting list as for 3pm Pacific Standard Time.. NY has a good clearance sale on something that I wanted to get (not Macross related), however I don't really want to see them pull another stunt on me in regards their S+H crap..

@spanner: The Voyager episode titled: "Hope and Fear" with USS Dauntless had a slipstream warp drive capability maybe of use to you. So in short, Captain Ezri Dax (from her humble beginnings from DS9) as has the first Federation ship that has a Quantum slipstream warp drive capability. When I hear Quantum Slipstream drive, my mind goes back to the old T.V. show: Quantum Leap in where Scott Bakula had to go back in history and correct historical errors in the timeline (this way before he was cast as Captain Archer for the Enterprise NX-01 series).

Is Bandai making up for the tiny Macross kites so they have to make a large one for the Elintseeker so that the Meltron/Zeltron forces can shoot them down first? I admit that the battroid mode looks weird on the VE-1, however the gerwalk version makes it more interesting. Waiting for the VF-2ss to be delivered from Manda so I can fiddle with it upon arrival (shipped via SAL last week).

@orindlt: Correction there. It's not Samurai Maul that you quoted, its Sohei (Monk) Maul. Honestly, Maul looks like an Oni as pictured. Got this Thursday morning from Jungle (used) and aiming for the 171EX. Debating if I want to per-order the SOC Dragon Caesar or not (I have a soft spot for kaiju(s) all thanks to the Gojra franchise). Edit: Corrected and clarified.

@Gundam@EFSF: Your pics of the Elintseeker is also distorted in my phone as well (like Stretch Armstrong when you pull him upwards and downwards at the same time), however when you put it on landscape mode, it looks normal (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J3 and I take it that other members use the iPhone, LG, Nexus, One plus, et all). This looks like an interesting puzzle to solve.. Edit: I get portrait and landscape mixed up. Two different terms, like regular or legal sized paper..

Hmm.. If the VF-1J with the GBP gets made, count me in.

I don't even have any DB Figuarts in my collection (mostly Kamen Riders), however I may actually get this. That's an interesting colour for Sheryl Nome, I wonder why that they didn't use either the Red or Blue as per the Megahouse version.

You guys are total enablers!! Just ordered the last Hi-Metal R VF-2SS from Manda (after much debate), passed the VF-1J with the GBP as I need to re-coupe my funds for the Elintseeker that I want to get. Arriving in two weeks time when I get confirmation when its has been shipped.

Sweet.. Tenjin artwork on the product boxes arrives again. Hmm.. Makes me want to pick up the VF-1J with the GBP in addition. * Note: I somehow got GBP and GPB mixed up..

As Kup says from the '86 animated movie in regards to Hot Rod: "A Turbo Revvin young punk".

Was going to reply back, got ninja by @no3Ljmwhile writing. It's all fun though. I'm also in the same boat as @jenius if there will be any updates in regards to Chuck or Arad later on.

D'oh! That's what happens when you work the late night shift and reading/replying on the forums with the wrong info.. Where's the head bashing in the wall emoji when I needed it?

Hopefully that "Helen" can help you out in regards to the issue and not be like the others on the Trustpilot review thread.

I can answer those questions as well @no3Ljm, I'm also on the TFW2005 boards as well (Macross fix here, TFs on the other). Note: This is what I read and understand so far - Zeta is reformat of Toyworld, due to the fact that some of the former employees of Toyworld (from the Design department) left due to the fact that the molds of Coolsville and (the upcoming?) Bruticus was used by Toyworld and didn't pay them for the rights. These employees found out and decided to leave, took the molds of Coolsville and Bruticus with them, formed their own company (now named Zeta). Zeta is doing another run of Coolsville (with tweeks from the former mold) later on under the brand Zeta-EX (?), ETA unsure. Leia is their take on a MP version of Arcee and scales in-line with FT's Kup and MP-09 (I think that pics with Leia and Hot Rod might be in the MP-28 thread). Pic taken directly from the boards on page 59, post #1180 by member GR1ML0CK (I think that he replaced the head with the Wei Jang one). Daimchoc has posted a vid of the Metallic version of her (post #1086)

@fenrir72and @sh9000: That would be be Toyworld's take on JAZZ (Coolsville ) and Arcee (Leia). @slide: That is correct. It the NCC-1701C concept (originally designed by Dave Probert) and was posted a few pages back. For further clarity: Still paint flaws on this one as well. Edit: You think that Eaglemoss would do a better work in detailing?? Nope.. Looks like most of their customer base got the short end of the stick. Just read the rants on the boards about their CS when you have time.

Or better yet, stick with the Playmates' version of the Defiant instead.

Sigh... Well at least he has a part in Delta Platoon nevertheless and he has a restaurant to feed the squadron when they're hungry.

I have a feeling that the speaker pod will be an add-on for the VF-31s when it gets made. Is it only Arad's valk that uses the speaker pod in Episode #6; as it's been a while since I've seen the series.

Seeing the messed up on paint scheme on ZorClone's XL Voyager makes me wonder if it's just his copy only or is also noted on others that have the XL Voyager as well (I haven't done a further investigation on it yet)? Still want to get the DS9 Defiant, however I will have to see if Eaglemoss can improve on the finer details on the XL lineup..

@Lolicon and @dimension eater: Sorry it's not your dream girl Miku Miku this time. Did some digging and got this instead: https://www.volks.co.jp/page_ex.jsp?CONTROLID=SC0040&BUSINESSID=InitDisp&jancd=4518992413532&version=en Willing to shell out roughly $700 (and possibly more for S+H to be delivered where you are), or you rather use the $$$ to make a down payment for additional valks for your ever growing Macross collection?

It just happens that you also got the same Frontier OST as I did (minus the one in the right) @ScrambledValkyrie. As for myself, I enjoy the one in the middle with Sheryl on the front cover (blowing the kiss), Princess Alto is in kabuki attire when you open the cover while Ranka is on the back cover (its the double CD set with a booklet of all the songs in Japanese). Haven't gotten the chance to listen to the Delta OST (I believe that there are also 2 versions of the OST CDs out, or is there additional ones that I don't know of? I believe that someone can verify that).

Got the last SV-51 Nora from Manda (used and complete). Just fiddled with it in Jet mode (transformation to Gerwalk and Battriod will be done on a later date) and there are a few bugs that I have found on my copy [not deal breaker to me as I'm going to leave it fully armed, still considering Arcadia's take]. Not going to list the flaws on my copy as Jenius has covered to a degree in his reviews. Hopefully that Arcadia catches the flaws from Yamato's and make the proper changes during the assembly line. Waiting to see the new revised version of the SV-51 in a months time.

I would get the VF-1E at NY, however I really don't like their S+H due to the insane mark ups (from what I read and the fiasco with my copy of the Hi-Metal R DYRL Roy). Going to play it safe and try other options as NY will be my last resort if I can find an Elintseeker anywhere else. I know that YMMV with other members using this supplier.

All you need next is the Protoculture city set (or make one) to re-create a few scenes from DRYL.
