Set #7018 Viking Ship challenges the Midgard Serpent.

Before I tag up the last Robotech Segmant, I'm posting this old review I did a while back.

Set #7018 Viking Ship challenges the Midgard Serpent.

What had become my Second Favorite Lego Set ever to build, this was more than a blast to set up. That along with it being a Viking Ship (My second favorite Lego series next to their short run of Ninja's) made it even cooler. I have two Viking sets left to get to complete the collection. The Viking fortress and the Viking Chess set which will be basically a soldier factory for my ships instead of the game board it's intended to be.

With next Friday coming and my purchase of more shelving to display my sets on, I've been slowly piecing my collection back together from the move. This Set had been in my Cellar for years before now, with time and space I went at it in the morning and had it done in a few hours. The ship is massive, the serpent is awesome and I sit here wondering why the hell didn't they have this when I was a kid, If only Lego came out with a Roman series and a coliseum set… One can dream. But here are some shots of the overall size of this thing.

What made it awesome besides the KEG shown here –

And the Vikings Ho Cage – shown here –

Was the God Damn Viking rotisserie complete with Turkey Legs for The Hungry Hokita or Sgt Blades –

The General stands here watching for ships of Ninja.

And the intimidating Dragonhead gracing the front.

I tried using the pool for some ocean affects. I think on the general it came out perty darn good. Well That's that.

Robotech Vehicles.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Robotech the vehicles. I will have two more robotech Posts after this, so here goes, Vehicles from robotech are sweet, Before the master collection which I will cover later, There was Matchbox, Harmony gold, and then something from a 90's cartoon series called Robotech Exo squad, which for the most part were the older 80's vehicles re issued. I had as a kid the original Invid shock trooper which fought my Tie Interceptor (with out wings) and Jetfire tranformer on a daily basis. All I have left is his arm, Paper work and a real cool Robotech Club form.




The Bioroid Armor and Invid Scouts below are purchases I did recently, Both are from the Matchbox Line, I also placed a Exo Squad Scout trooper so readers could see there is almost no difference between the both versions other than about ten years of production between both.




Now for Exo Squad, It was a great time for me to buy a few of the vehicles I needed and although I never snagged the Hover Tank Dana Drove which was pure awesomeness, I did grab a ton of armors, My favorites were the minis below, Also check the one front card and the profiles of each perspective armor for stats and story's.






Then there were the bigger six inch counter parts, With more maneuverability, I had all four of the good guys at one point, But now only have the Gladiator.



And last but not least the Zentradi Power armors. The vehicles that reeked havoc inside the SDF1 Flown By Myria Sterling. Below are two from exo squad and two from The Matchbox line, Notice the totally different colors of both sets! A great army building ploy? :)

Dusty Trails. Samurai Arrow Cutter.

The forerunner of Posed figures Dusty Trails was one of the best, Not sure why they went out of business yet McFarlane picked up where they left off. below is the One Dusty Trails figure I snagged, The Samurai. Although they had plans for more, they never got to it before going out of business. Enjoy.

McFarlane Halo.

WE Interupt the present showing of Robotech to bring you this AWESOME News.

McFarlane HALO figures are on the shelves, Thanks to Boba Cox Ninja I was given the hook up on the first wave of HALO figures at WAl-Mart I snagged the ones I want the Spartans. Check out below the package art. More to come on variants and hard to finds!!!!

Robotech Carded Part 3. Matchbox Line

Well the last three Robotech figures Carded that I have are below. The loose ones will follow this before the segment on the vehicles that I have. The Dana Sterling one I have below is the one favorite I have. Not so much that I loved the character as I do the armor, a cross between Greek and Roman design for a modern age it was my favorite, Picture those flying the Alpha Fighters, Bad ass!!!

Micronized Zentradi.

Zor. - I hated this charecter.

Dana = Awesome.

Robotech part 2. Harmony Gold figures.

A few years after Matchboxes run, Which I will cover next post. Harmony Gold re-produced most of the Robotech figure line, The following two were the only ones Not produced by matchbox even though Lynn Minmei was shown on the back of the cards, she was only released with the Zentradi variant of Miriya through Harmony Gold. So here they are carded front and back. Enjoy.
