kajnrig Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Another surprise delivery. Been looking forward to seeing these old Turn-A kits, especially that always menacing Turn-X.

anubis20 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) SOC Big O is back in my house!!! I sold my original set to get this one. Also got a bunch of GN Sword II Blasters but only 1 is mine Edited February 7, 2018 by anubis20
Atheonyirh Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 The Kurogane Finish Big O is gorgeous. I love mine, but I haven't taken any pictures of it.

If you don't mind me asking, did you get this shipped to the USA and if so how did you get one without an orange plug?

Great detail other than the plain blue deflector dish, but that's a nitpick really... hmmm, that is rather nice isn't it! And I'm curious about this "slipstream drive" and its benefits/advantages.. might have to go do some googling!
borgified Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 @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).

They also use it in the episode "Timeless" where it kills the entire Voyager crew except for Harry and someone else I can't remember because Voyager is that unmemorable. It was one of the better Voyager episodes though. Was hoping for 15% but I guess 5% is okay too. Too bad most everything I have on preorder currently is Order Stop.

I know you were asking Alex, but I also recently received the Megatron re-issue. I purchased it from NY specifically to ensure it would not come with the orange plug.

borgified Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) 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.

anubis20 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I wanted some Evangelion 3.0 figures and it was either these or the RAH ones. Had to go with the cheaper option Edited February 9, 2018 by anubis20
ZorClone Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 A small HLJ pw shipment greeted me this afternoon
Mommar Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Interesting piece of history, remarkably bland paint scheme... Also the Boussard collectors look effing cheap. Edited February 10, 2018 by Mommar
borgified Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Well... The first NCC-1701 was a bit bland as the franchise got started in the '60s as the special effects was no way near to the standards of now. The Constitution class Enterprise was the forerunner for the other ships in the Star Fleet lineup.

Lolicon Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 It's consistent with the details (or lack of) from all the Enterprise Phase 2 images I've seen, i.e. lack of aztec mottling, more like the 1960s Enterprise. Now the refit Enterprise they released awhile back was also missing surface details, and that I would consider a mistake, which they corrected on the A release.
Lolicon Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 The messed up refit Enterprise (wrong color, missing surface detail) and the much improved A.
derex3592 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I need that A refit --- it's the only Enterprise I'm missing I think....not including that Phase 2, which I'll pass on.

derex3592 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Yes, I bought the J when it came it, it's like an ugly duckling kind of thing, I just have fun thinking about how gigantic and cool it is in universe and have fun imagining all the cool tech stuff that would be on board. Basically a city in a ship. I know there's not much love for it, but it's SO far out of left field I kind of dig it. Edited February 11, 2018 by derex3592 added pic
Mommar Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I’ve considered getting the J because it’s so wtf. It is funny when people complain about the spindly pylons, then you scale it with other ships and realize they’re thicker than the Enterprise-D.

If you scale a VF-31 with yourself, you realize the arms are thicker than yours. They're still spindly looking. I don't like the J because it's an all around ugly ship. Also, Enterprise-J just sounds so corny. Like movie sequels that drop the numbers after enough sequels, you can drop the lettering.

ZorClone Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 replacement Voyager XL came in from Eaglemoss with almost the exact same printing problems with the windows. Pretty ridiculous. Guess I'll call them on Monday and ask what the deal is and if I can ever expect a product in this line that will actually have QA.
