Chronocidal Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) You know, I know nostalgia goggles can be powerful, but seriously, why can't anyone come up with toys -this- cool anymore? About 15 inches long, four individually activated sounds with lights, and the original price tag is still on the box ($24.96 at Walmart). $20 on ebay. Eat your hearts out, Diamond Select and Eaglemoss. Edited June 4, 2020 by Chronocidal
Sanity is Optional Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I had the Enterprise-D that went along with that. Good times.
Chronocidal Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I have one of those on the way too, along with the Klingon Vor'cha, basically found a bunch of garage sale fodder for cheap. Now, for the Enterprise-D, I know the Diamond Select one is better modeled and detailed in pretty much every way. That doesn't stop me from considering pulling the electronic guts out, and rigging up the original four-button chip inside the Diamond Select one. I don't -mind- the cycling voice clips exactly, but sometimes you just want to fire a volley of torpedoes.
slide Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I had the Ent-D, Warbird and Vor'cha... such wonderful toys! I miss them....................... and I agree fully with the 4-button sound-system being superior... sometimes you just need to fire the weapons, cloak the ship, or jump to warp9!
nightmareB4macross Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I just received my second complete and beautiful YF-25 Prophecy for 125.00 shipped. So happy at this moment.

Nice!! I've been wanting to dive into Frontier because it's my favorite of the series next to DYRL but have just heard the Valks have so many issues. I really hope the recent YF-29 release brings about another set of Frontier reissues (without delaying the VF-1 releases haha).
MKT Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 21 hours ago, Slave IV said: It's from the new Diaclone line which historically is the precursor to Transformers and where a lot of original Transformers toys came from. This line is completely modular where you can transform, combine and reconfigure as you wish to create new forms and transformations. The Warudaros are the "enemy" faction to Diaclones and this one is the new monster grandaddy that cracked me after eyeing the line from the side for years. It's supposed to be one of the most fun toylines to come out in years and I resisted as long as I could but take a look here at just "some" of the options you can come up with through this one figure and you will see why to me, it is the perfect solution to having very few enemy mecha for my Super Robots: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/456687 Edit: Adding some images of a few examples Unlike other Diaclones so far, whose various split modes just seem meh, this looks just cool in every mode!! Gotta bookmark this item..

Eat your hearts out, Diamond Select and Eaglemoss. Cool. I think I still have all of my STTNG figures and vehicles/playsets. I used to love the Bridge playset and the Shuttlecraft. The Romulan Warbird and a few other ships are probably at my parent’s house. Marvel Legends Red Hulk. Edited June 4, 2020 by sh9000
505thAirborne Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 SO SAY WE ALL! This beauty just arrived, another awesome VIPER for my BSG collection!

That's from the BSG remake? This was from the very short lived Blood & Chrome Pilot/movie that was made in 2012 after BSG ended. For a pre-painted Diecast/ABS toy it looks & feels really good! That show had potential as well this Viper, I'm very happy that Eaglemoss chose to make it since Moebius probably never will. Edited June 5, 2020 by 505thAirborne
DYRL VF-1S Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Super stoked on this one. Just missing the sticker sheet but in awesome condition.

Sadly, I am pretty strong when it comes to things non Macross, or non Star wars. I've wanted a viper Mark II since i was a child, so this is hitting me right up in the my glass chin. I'm very conflicted right now.

Slave IV Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I must be one of the few weirdos who usually likes the bad guy ships better.

Not gunna lie, my favorite Eaglemoss BSG ships are the Cylon Raider and the Basestar. The Vipers look pretty good as well, but they really nailed the Cylon ships.
vladykins Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 It must be the time for Takatoku GBP armor, because I just picked some up for my Jetfire 1S:
