COLLECTION DIARY: AUGUST 2019

This summer we had the complete STAR BLAZERS: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 remake released along with the first half of the remake of STAR BLAZERS: The Comet Empire-YAMATO 2202!

I am very happy to own these glorious remakes. They are actually better than the beloved originals, and that is a very special thing to be a part of! Part Two of YAMATO 2202 is scheduled to release this Fall!



Happy Blazers Boss out!

ARES PREVIEWS THE TOS CYLON RAIDERS!

According to our friend Ares Production Manager Roberto Di Meglio these babes will be coming to us in Q1-2020! 🥰 I am loving these ships and the Battlestar Game as a whole and will buy everything Ares Games makes for Battlestar Galactica Starship Battles! We get these two paint jobs representing a Raider and Raider Veteran, and that is perfect! I'll buy Ten Raiders and Two Veterans! WHAM A Dozen Raiders! AKA: Two FULL Squadrons... HEY-Baby! 

HEY-Baby! 🐺🤩🥳

THE OFFICIAL MANDALORIAN TRAILER!

REAL STAR WARS (is back) IN THE HOUSE!

A WHOLE LOT OF THIS SERIES IS GOING RIGHT INTO STAR WARS LEGION...

THE NEW YAMATO 2202 MECHA SCALE FIGHTER KITS ROCK!

The new YAMATO 2202 Mecha (Mini) model kits are all available now with the Cosmo Tiger coming in October to round out the collection! I am going to use these to play larger scaled fighter games! Checkout The Cosmo Zero Black Birds and Cosmo Tiger II Single seat and Two seat kits! These are all great little models!

Blazers Boss out!

ALEX DAVY ASSEMBLES THE NEW LEGION CORESET AND TALKS SHOP... FUN WATCH!

Fantasy Flight's STAR WARS Kid Alex Davy sets down with the featured miniatures art guy at FFG and they chat about where LEGION is going in the future. They talk shop and put together the new models and it is fun to see the gang just having fum being Miniatures Gamer Nerds! Nice FFG!

  Happy Legionnaire Boss out!  

ARES BSG SSB RELEASE SCHEDULE UPDATE!

My FB Friend Roberto Di Meglio (Production Manager at Ares Games) commented on my recent BSG Article with an official update (Because he IS The Man who knows!) on the BSG SSB Releases Schedule.

So now we know that the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA STARSHIP BATTLES Releases for 2019 are the first two waves and will likely conclude with the Viper MkVII Spaceship Pack.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOWARD P. LOVECRAFT

I would like to wish a very happy intentionally belated birthday to Mr. Lovecraft!

Does anyone find it most curious that the month of Howie's B-Day is always full of celestial events?

The Stars Were Right On August 20,1890...

Happy CREEP Boss out...

FFG PREVIEWS REBELLION IN THE RIM!

FFG previews Rebellion In The Rim! It makes me happy to see STAR WARS ARMADA Articles coming out again, we missed you old friend! Checkout the details of this cool campaign expansion in the Take Command Of The Fleet article!

Fleet Boss out!

ARES PREVIEWS TOS CYLON RAIDER!

Ares posted a preview of the final render of TOS Cylon Raider and it is a lovely piece of badassery!

I am certain that the many people who have been "Meh" about BSG SSB are going to buy into the game as soon as this wonderful Cylon Raider and the Viper Mk1 "Spaceship Packs" are released! Ares has been having some issues with their factory, and have fallen behind on their intended release schedules.

The TOS Raider and Viper were supposed to be out already... I am pretty sure Ares is going to try to at least get both of these BSG SSB Expansions out for the holidays, along with the Viper MkVII.

BOSS' BIG STAR TREK: THE EAGLEMOSS AKIRA XL MODEL IS COMING!

The Akira IS Coming! The next Eaglemoss STAR TREK XL Edition ship is The Akira Class Heavy Escourt! This is another model that will land in the wonderful Boss' BIG Approved 1/2500'ish scale rule (of about an inch from being perfect)! The Thunderchild is a beloved ship and she will look right with other Boss' BIG-ships and be a great looking model on the table in any Federation Fleet!

I am working on NEW EAGLEMOSS GOODIES (PART 2)... but The Thunderchild deserved her own article.

BIG TREK Boss out!

FFG ANNOUNCES NEW UNIT UPGRADE TROOPER EXPANSIONS!

FFG stated they had more to show us at GENCON last week. Well here it comes! More STAR WARS toys of these kinds is very good! Checkout these wonderful Trooper unit upgrades in the Beyond Standard Issue article!

Go FFG GOooo!!!

  Happy Legionnaire Boss out!  

GENCON 2019: NEW SHIPS FOR STAR WARS ARMADA!

GENCON 2019 had a lot of STAR WARS News from Fantasy Flight Games! One of the surprises for us was that the Super Star Destroyer was not the only ship expansion for 2019! I am very pleased to see A New Age Of Battle is coming for the game! These are cool ships!

Despite the naysayers; Armada will be here for us... always.

Happy Admiral Boss out!

ARES GAMES BSG GENCON 2019

ARES GAMES had a nice GENCON this year. I had hoped for more info on their EPIC Game and Capitol Ships, but these huge models take time. FFG spent two years getting their Super Star Destroyer done for Armada... Hopefully Ares has better luck with the Galactica and the Cylon Basestar! It was cool to see the next wave of Spaceship Packs and more peeks at Vipers Mark one and seven! See you again soon Ares!
