Small Scale Military Headquarters

Nothing's been said on it coming out for sure even, but I think it's a lock. Someone in the company let me know they wanted to get this out, then work on USCM's to complement the line. If we're lucky they continue this thing full bore. I'm not counting on vehicles, but one never knows. Good USCM's w...

5 Pack of what appears to be all new headsculpts? Hmmm, I believe I'm in. Quality looks much improved, but with only minor changes. Making a squad for instance, keeping uniforms similar, colors similar, new heads but recycling other stuff... BBI has a nice formula for cheap, but decent quality moder...

PH, Kickstarter type campaigns are really hit and miss... and while it's not prevalent here, in other toy communities they're seeing they can also get burned on them. A few sites recently were openly supporting a kickstarter for "hallways" of ships, Death Star, etc., from Star Wars. People pledged t...

The Our War guys headsculpts were definitely so-so, but I found a generic Star Wars figure whose head swapped with it... The AT-ST Pilot actually. So there's two sculpts, actually. One looks like Evegani Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. :) With those heads on, those figures look much better, but n...

Saw those too... Interesting headsculpts, and nice looking figures all around save for the guy who's breaking eardrums on the mic. I'll pick up a couple of those. Looks like BBI's just resizing heads from 1/18 to 1/6 and vice versa. I dig that. Always up for some new and relatively generic headsculp...

It's all in what you're willing to pay.

Yeah this has me interested as well, mostly because laser printing water-slides isn't seemingly an exact science. This looks much more reliable.

Acetone smooths out those lines well.

Leave negative feedback for him, but ultimately you got your $ back and stuff... inconvenient yes, but it wasn't a bait and switch situation since you didn't ultimately pay for it. You could email him and tell him that's not your fault, blah blah blah, and threaten negative feedback and contacting A...

It's quite noticeable... to the point I've become increasingly considering selling off all my 1/18 armor, which is quite a few... 3 Shermans, 2 or 3 Tigers, 2 Panzers, 1 Panther... Might be time to bail on one scale I think.

Yeah definitely nice additions to the RC tanks... The price deters me, but I think it's still fair.

It's a small local museum, not the Carnegie, haha. :) They display local military vets stuff if the families don't know what to do with it, have local stuff about the flood of '36, or settlers and native americans from the area, etc. It's in an old school. His other choice was the Soldier's and Sail...

What do those typically run? My friend's father flew a B25 in the Pacific, and I was bestowed with the manual from the plane, a swatch of parachute silk which they all (the crew) took some from and had a note sewn onto them as a memento of their time together, and most important to me, I got his "bl...

Dig the lights alone. Would enjoy a set of those.

I agree with it entering an already tough market... As always there is Lego. Hasbro has Kreo. Megablocks which used to be the knock-off brand has jumped into licensed (and pretty damn neat) lines for Call of Duty, HALO, etc. They've got a tough row to ho as they say. But think about it... Hasbro, wh...

Hmmm, if they do just figure packs I may be in. Looks like they're trying to innovate somewhat, but I'd much preferred seeing them go the route of mimicking Mega Blocks and what they've accomplished with video game brands like Call of Duty. The figures are more fun and interesting IMO, than trying t...

Agreed... I miss all that softgoods stuff, and knowing what resins and molds cost, I can't fathom it wasn't cheaper to make.

The GI Joe Headquarters and some other things may be available online as well, to incorporate and paint up. Just some thoughts. Build-A-Rama dropped off the planet. It's a shame because the concept's sound, but they didn't (wouldn't?) restock a LOT of stuff like the stretchers, the REAL sandbags (no...

I have sooooooo much Playmobil from my childhood. Loved western theme but mixed stuff into it from other lines like the Victorian Mansion. It is shockingly gorgeous with 1/18 vehicles and figures around it, seriously. I should sell my stuff off. I've got so much of it, haha. I really should just sta...

I dig them too. For Star Wars fodder alone, lots of uses. I intend to pick these up now that I know they exist. Thanks Fritz! Even the gear is useful to me, right down to the vehicles.

I think all collectors go through this to a point... Sometimes it depends on how you like displaying things, or how you just collect in general. For me, customizing is a big part of my collecting habits, so building something outweighs my need to display it. I'd like to, but sometimes I just can't. ...

The grenade launcher ammo box is still to this day one of my fav sci-fi background pieces. I paint 'em, I add greeblies, I do whatever and they just look good in a Star Wars hangar. The bunks, the bunker, the HQ, the 3 story mud building, the bridge, the locker, the hedgehogs (!!!!!!)... There's TON...

It's an inevitability on any forum... the prob is keeping up on it, and how they circumvent filters. It's an ever-evolving thing.

Why do that when they'll ultimately start asking you guys to, for them? :) Of course, I have no faith they'll actively look into software fixes/upgrades to reduce spam... They'll count on volunteers to just keep up with bailing the water out of the lifeboat. Didn't like the idea at the onset, and st...

Like PH said, no such thing as quick vac-forming anything, haha. That's why Stormtrooper armor costs a buttload of cash. :P It's a neat, and not terribly difficult technique, but takes something of a set-up. I wired my extra garage 220 for an electric stove just for this purpose... and canning, but ...
