    Would be awesome if Bandai did a retro release package design but with the DX in 1/48:

    Haha, kidding. Personally, I like the panel lines on his build, but maybe that's just me. I guess I'm okay with them because original studio models often look different in person from the way they appear on TV, in feature films, and even in photos.

    Nice build!
  5. peter
    Lol!

    When does Dana dye her hair blonde?

    Meh, it's got nothing on the Robotech Battloid:

    Holy $hit.

    With all the left over missile from the Yamato sets, I might try to mod some spare missiles to fit the DX.

    Lol, I was wondering why yours looked so much better. Nice clean work.
  11. peter
    Or be available for the actual MSRP, lol! I'm not a huge collector either and only have 4 Yamato 1/48s, but at current prices and availability, I will probably put in the effort to get just one DX.

    VF-1. I like my low vis, but my favourite is Roy's 1S, which still eludes my collection

    Holy $hit, that much? Ship it 4 times and it's a flight to Japan.

    I think the idea that the Yorktown was re-christened Enterprise came from my ERTL/AMT models. Don't think it is stated anywhere in canon that it actually happened. Guess it would have been a pretty morbid way to commemorate the loss of Yorktown's entire crew by renaming the ship Enterprise.

    Yeah, what was happening to the Yorktown happened off-screen. Was it confirmed that the crew survived?
  18. peter
    The Yorktown was floating dead in the water when the whale ship came. The captain mumbled something about rigging a solar sail to survive (this was in the movie), but it probably didn't work, everyone on board died, then they re-badged the ship the -A for Kirk and friends.

    Are they on sale somewhere?

    The diverse ethnicity and gender stuff never even phased me since it's been the norm since TOS, TNG and other previous series, but yeah, I get it. I guess my dissatisfaction with the series, without even watching it, is more primitive in nature, nothing to do with current politics. First, I don't want to have to pay to watch it, and second, I can't get past the designs. The redesign of the Klingons was a bit wtf moment for me. I don't mind updated modern-day special effects, but the ship designs (interior and exterior) are too Kelvin-timeline than Prime, even though it's my understanding that this is supposed to be in the prime universe. At least with every series that came before this, they respected the general appearance TOS whenever they visited that timeline (flashbacks, mirror episodes etc), almost to a fault, in terms of aesthetics. My dislike for STD has nothing to do with race or genders, but I wouldn't be surprised if I were accused of misogyny. I was dissatisfied with GB 2016 for similar reasons, but accusations of misogyny were being thrown here like it was going out of style.

    Lol, virtue signalers everywhere. I've been called a Nazi by someone who clearly did not know my ethnicity.
  23. peter
    Ok, I'm a bit intrigued...still not sure I'll see this in theatres, but at least now I'm on the fence.
  24. peter
    OK, checked it out a bit. This one does appear to be a better sculpt with more gimmicks: Still not sure it's worth $100 USD. but it does look pretty crisp. Looks like it's probably better than the Legacy collection....at least it doesn't look like it will have saggy wings like the Legacy ones:

    https://intl.target.com/p/star-wars-the-vintage-collection-poe-dameron-8217-s-x-wing-fighter-toy-vehicle/-/A-76152934 No kidding. It better not be anything like this POS: Mind you the price of this one has gotten stupid. Bought one for my kid for about $30 on sale, now asking prices are about $130.
