Sorry about double post chaps and chapesses….it kept saying “you’ve already posted that” when I tried to send post….yet the post wasn’t there after several refreshes. I used my surname to post second time.

I should note, too, that those F-Toys are cheaper if you import from Hong Kong…..there are several sellers with then on the ‘bay’….some with excellent FB.

What I don’t understand is the Japanese ‘F-Toys Confect’ line seemingly stopping at Vol.1…..did they lose the licence or something? Way…way..WAY better than both JL and Furuta. I swear their Defiant is sexy as teh curvatures on Seven of Nine’s body. The level of detail is amazing….plus you get de-cloaked and cloaked in the same box with the Defiant package….two ships on one stand. Their solitary Vol.1 range consists of: Five standard ships – NCC-1701, NCC-1701 Refit, NCC-1701-D, NX-74205 Defiant (de-cloaked with separate cloaked), Enterprise NX-01….and a sixth secret chase ship – ISS Enterprise ‘NX-01′ (Mirror Universe)…I’ve never seen such details on such small ships. They’re from 2008, but still knocking around on eBay….grab them up, there may be no more. I’ve just shot an email off to them in Japan asking about another volume (Star Wars got 3 volumes), I’ll try and keep you posted.

these are great models. i would really love to see more variety,however. some great possible new ones would be the defiant and jem h’edar attack ships from ds9, the stargazer and phoenix/farragut from tng, and voyager.

I really love these models as they look great, but its a shame thet there still using the same mold from the first wave, in wave 6.
The romulam model is the same as the klingon in wave 1, and each ship that these guys produce is a copy, or a small variant of the previous wave.
Come on JL, make some new ships. Im sure the star trek universe is full of different designs, or just try and give the trekkies a heart attack and produce 12 constitution class ships with all the different numbers and names from what was the original fleet of this class of starship.

Good work, but expand a little more please

Getting excited by what im seeing today, more JL star trek ships wave 5 and 6 coming this is great. we do need more OTHER ships though Dominion, Breen, reman scimitar ,scorpion, delta flyer etc ST is littered with fantastic ships federation or alien from ALL treks, st enterprise had some really good ships like the xindi with their different ships from the differing groups like the aquatics and reptillians. Voyager had tons of good ships too. JL could spend the next decade releasing these ships instead of repaints and changing just a hull name and registry. Im getting the self destructed enterprise 1701 from ST III TSFS cuz its DIFFERENT!!

They look good, but am I the only one that’s noticed the Galileo’s windows are wrong?, Konami’s shuttlecraft didn’t get it right either. Sloppy paint job a turn off? I think innacuracy is my big turn off, but nice to see another range. They’re not too common over her in England though.

i’m totally freaked out by the scary phallic torture dildo things protruding from the ships. what the hell are they? torpedos frozen in time? i apologize in advance for my ignorance of these issues.

I don’t know if this has been said, but the 2007 wave did have “White Lightnings”, actually they were Silver. I know because I have both versions of the Voyager (Regular and Silver) ……
