They just developed a lot of good stories out of the “Humans built the Cylons” idea. But I still tip my cap to the old series for coming up with awesome designs. It has some flaws, but the Toynami Beta is pretty freakin’ awesome. Ratchet-joints in key spots and a nice heft to it. There are some gaps here and there, but the bomber mode still looks good, and the fighter combo with the Alpha is hard to beat (assuming you luck out and get a good looking Alpha). Not sure what they’re going for now, but I never regretted getting the Beta. I almost pulled the trigger on a very nice Toynami Alpha and Beta recently to display in fighter mode. But I've got PO's on the Sentinel so I'm holding out. I hope I don't regret it. I really want that pair in my display case.
sh9000 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 I still love the original Battlestar Galactica. Marvel Legends Love Triangle 3 pack x2 from Dorkside.
nightmareB4macross Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 At 4 inches tall the MS Prime and NA Megatron are amazing. Off to start a new collection with my son. NA Bumblebee and NA Insecticons are incoming. If these don’t disappoint we’ll see where this goes.
Mommar Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Beginning of the year always seems to be vinyl time. And Eaglemoss models are ALWAYS broken.

There are different variations of each to choose from. They are both pretty amazing, sturdy, and have incredible transformation processes. Edited January 19, 2020 by nightmareB4macross .

I looked at it last night and asked myself if A, did I want to take the time. And B, how long until they peel off? I think I'm going to get some skull water slides for the boosters and leave the rest nekkid.
Lolicon Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 That's why I don't like stickers and much prefer waterslide decals.

sqidd Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Got this in today. Now the Bandai DX Jetfire custom project can get started. Super excited! And it was kind of fun to pull my #1 favorite Transformer and #2 favorite toy (#1 was the Gakken Ride Armor/Cyclone). out of the box. I was almost 12yrs old again for a second there.
Bing0 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) first macross toy, thanks it worked! Edited January 22, 2020 by Bing0

myk Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Great. Now I gotta head to the storage unit and find my boxed Jetfire...

I ended up adding some thin clear plastic wrap on each of the rubber posts to prevent paint transfer (more of an issue on colored valks).
Knight26 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Will post pictures later. Today at Bookmans (a Local Tucson used books and entertainment franchise) I picked up a complete, in box, Bandai 1:55 VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie. All the joints were tight and there was ZERO yellowing. The stickers were applied, and all parts present including the firing missiles and Minmay figure. The only issue, the box had some cosmetic issues, corners were smashed a bit and there was a puncture on the back. The styrofoam was all intact. The price: $200 plus tax.
