    How I saw it: we have had some Star Trek episodes that were humorous, but as a whole the series was quite serious. Lower Decks reverses that, and puts the notion that the Star Trek Federation universe is nigh-perfect and everyone has a place in it, on its ear. Plus Miles O’Brien has a statue and is acknowledged as the single most important person in Starfleet. Job’s done.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Sildani replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    Hopefully there’s still time for Arcadia to refine things. The head laser pivot is big and blocky and, at least in this pic, wasn’t or couldn’t be recessed into the head in fighter mode. But hey, it’s a mass produced Star Mirage! What a world we live in!

    Hi all. I have a Yamato 1/60 VF-11B. Missing the left air intake cover. If someone could point me in the direction of a replacement, I’d be grateful. Thanks!

    Reminds me of the enemy helicopter, the HX-1.

    As far as what Earth might have done with better knowledge of the Zentraedi, I think we see that in Macross Plus: layer upon layer of remotely-controlled, or perhaps semi-autonomous, defensive gun and missile satellites.

    Hooray for sane work weeks!

    Found the DVD set at Goodwill for five bucks. Time to tuck in!

    There was a solitary rumor last year that Paramount was re-mastering DS9, but to the best of my knowledge that went nowhere. By the way, it’s leaving Netflix in July, so now’s the time to see it if you don’t have, or want, Paramount +.

    Here’s hoping for some gratuitous sex and violence!

    I liked it quite a bit. Has more tooth than I was expecting, as others have detailed. I loved the designs. Ships, armor, it all looked entirely possible and not at all over the top or cartoony… with the exception of the fuel crystal. But hey, if Star Trek can have dilithium crystals…

    Looks amazing! Well done!

    Just checked my 25A. The segmented-looking ankle bits are metal on there.

    Armor parts! I’m reminded of that immortal movie line: ”Never go full retard.”

    Might want to make a thread in the For Sale forum.

    I honestly wasn’t expecting that. Supply line bottlenecks gonna bottleneck.

    Arshes Nei looks exactly like she should. I’m in.

    It’s like they’re using a different factory for the WWM 25 than was used for the Renewal 25’s. As a diecast model airplane collector I hear a lot of griping by different manufacturers about the difficulty of getting production time allotted to them by their factory of choice and needing to go to another factory where the quality might not be as good just to get product out the door. I don’t think Bandai owns their own factories, so they might have a similar problem.

    HLJ now says Discontinued.

    Very much a fan. Pity about the purple gunpod, the gunmetal one from the 25A and S models would have looked better.
  23. Sildani
    Yep. I ordered mine from BBTS… I’m settling in for a wait.

    Quick question: could you design the landing gear in a “cartridge” form, so that extended landing gear could be slotted into place and replaced with closed doors as desired? As for the missile load, some conformal missile pallets between the engines, F-14 style, might work well, or some MERs hanging under the wing.

    Very nice. Glad I have this coming. I just hope the white doesn’t yellow over time! This’ll be the whitest Valkyrie I own.
