vladykins Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Haven't bought any of the new Battlestar bits (though I've been tempted by the fighter combat game pieces). But I do have some stuff from TOS and from when TNS came out:

I’ve been anti-GBP for awhile, because they’re so bulky. But, I picked up the Arcadia 1J reissue and then found this armor for a great price from an original owner. Couldn’t pass it up. And it wound up fitting perfect on my 2001 1J reissue. I’ve heard it doesn’t fit the 2008 reissue.

505thAirborne Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) So many good toys & collectibles being posted here. One of these days I will get all three of the Gakken Legioss toys, old school at its best IMO. I definitely need to a Base Star or two, my Galactica & Pegasus (Moebius kits) have no one to battle with yet. @sqidd Taking the plunge on some BSG ships, nice!! Edited June 7, 2020 by 505thAirborne

easnoddy Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I ended up parting with all the BSG fighters and kept the 3 battlestars. I'll probably get the Valkyrie, but I still need to watch Blood and Chrome...
Focslain Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 So got this over the weekend from @yman1437 , now I have a SDF-1 I like and can display because I'm running out of room.
borgified Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Got this last week from Manda Nagoya via EMS with a slight glitch to Canada via EMS. Was sitting on the floor on the 17th of last month, got to Vancouver's Canada Post depot on the 23rd, sent to CBSA and got hit with $41.15 in Custom Fees. Re-routed to a nearly postal outlet and stashed it in the trunk of my car until yesterday. Moved to a smaller room in my house and packed 10 totes and 5 loose boxes for storage (as I got too much stuff). Presently re-arranging my collection with the hopes in selling/trading in my stuff later on. * For those that got screamed at from your relatives/significant other for collecting too much, we all have the same problem as we buy, buy, buy and it takes up too much room until it's time to move then we all see the aftermath *

I’ve heard it doesn’t fit the 2008 reissue. It would fit, it's the super parts that have problems because Bandai reshaped the front of the forearm. Since the GBP are parts slide on, it's not an issue.

sqidd Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I went a little crazy with some Ashley Wood designed robots. These are from the WWR and ABC Warrior series. I didn't realize the dude on the right was so BIG! That shelf is 14.75" tall and 38" wide for scale. I love him though! I have a bit of a goofy/weird robot collection forming these guys are going to slot right into. There are two more on the way (of the smaller ones). The second from the left is a robot pooper scooper He even comes with little piles of poo, LOL. They're in his stomach/storage/trash can area right now.

Ashley Wood did do some of art for Todd McFarlane's Spawn if you haven't realized it. McFarlane's Spawn still as a following to this day and the new issue #307 is to be released June 24th.

Whats the range? No chance that there's a Rogue trooper series?

Rogueload Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 @505thAirborne Yep had Manda on my radar for those. Thanks for the link!

Given my 1/48s are two stealth and a Anniversary in black and gold, the Low Vis will fit in with my aesthetics. (And my 1/60 low vis skull leader).
vladykins Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Big thanks to @sqidd who just happened to spot a good-priced one while we were chatting here. You rock! For those looking for the 1/60 low vis Roy, I'll keep an eye out myself (or note if I ever decide to give up mine).
Rogueload Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Just got mine out of the box! Loving the dark navy blue of this bird!
