EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

[Mike86]

I prefer you don't. Exclusives annoy me. Don't get me wrong, I'll be ordering directly from you guys either way.

I kind of agree. At the same time though I’ll probably continue to order directly through EXO-6 so if they offer exclusives it wouldn’t matter to me too much.

 

[youbastards]

As of now, no.

Thanks, that is what I was hoping to hear. I prefer to order from my retailers in the US, and exclusives really turned me off from ThreeZero to the point that I didn't bother collecting the line.

Agreed. I didn’t order direct from Exo due to shipping to the US, as I’d rather get free shipping from Timewalker.

I was brainstorming earlier and thought of something cool. It's nice to have captains chairs for all the captains but what if....Sisko had his infamous desk? Or Janeway had her replicator with coffee? Archer's dinner setup for his supper with Trip and T'Pol? Quark's bar?

Any thought to stuff like this?

Data has beamed in to Staffordshire, England. I'll post some pics later

Tracking shows no movement on mine since late Saturday (China time).

Tracking shows no movement on mine since late Saturday (China time).

Consider the average 1/6 collecting experience:

* delivery time for 1/6 pre-orders are 12+ months
* you might forget what you ordered by month 6th
* the samples you saw to make your buying decisions usually looked a lot better than what you received.

You are doing very well comparing to thousands and thousands of 1/6 collectors out there.

They go by months and sometimes by year, you go by days, the worst by weeks. Feel better? You will have Data before you forget you ordered one and you don't need to pass your interest income to producers. Plus, the figure will look better than what you saw in product pictures.

I always look at Time-Value of Money in all my investment ventures. A long waiting time pre-paid or pre-orders mean you are paying MORE for the figures. The money being tide up lost its value over time.

EXO-6 is a part service operation. We (or I) want to place an Equal sign between the money you paid and the Trek figure ordered.

 

[Mike86]

Yeah, I’m not trying to complain. Just sharing since I saw someone else do so as well.

 

[nanjin]

Yeah, I’m not trying to complain. Just sharing since I saw someone else do so as well.

And I was doing sales talk

I understand the anxiety. I am too because EXO-6 will be judged with Data. Plus, I have to endure this type of anxiety all the time when I wait for samples....

 

[scubasteve_85]

Yeah it’s not the wait as such, more the fear it’s been lost. It’s been stuck in the one spot for 10 days now with no movement. Others have made it through so just a little concerned.

 

[superdoug]

I might be wrong but I was told once that sometimes stuff sits until there is enough to fill a container to go overseas. Again I could be wrong but that could be why some appear to be sitting in China. They might not have made it on the first ship and are waiting on the next one.

 

[scubasteve_85]

Yeah that could be it. Anyway, I’ll give it another couple weeks, if still stuck in Shenzhen I’ll look at getting it declared lost and having a replacement sent.

Time to open Data...cue First Contact soundtrack

 

[Matner77]

First impressions...quality figure. Good weight to the figure, uniform fits perfectly & tailoring is bob on.
Love the details on the Tricorder (even if I can't focus on the tiny details)
Both head sculpts & paint application are easily on par with the big companies in the business and easily surpass some long established 1/6th companies.
Not sure how Nanjin and his team managed the skin speckled/mottled effect on Data's skin, but it looks great.
It's a crackin figure and I'm very much looking forward to Picard and the future releases.
Well done to Nanjin & his team.
Those waiting for their Data, he's well worth the wait. Mine was in China only 4 days ago, overnight he was suddenly in California, last night arrived in London and arrived at mine this morning.

 

[TheRiddler32?]

All these pics are making if even harder to wait for Data!
Gotta say my two biggest wants from this line would be TNG Crusher with her blue Dr smock and Guinan (any hope??)

 

[Matner77]

Dr Crusher is one of my top wants...since I was a teenager actually lol.

 

[scubasteve_85]

urghhh he looks so good, my only nitpick, and it’s very small is that the I think the collar should sit a little bit higher so that you can see the rank pips a little easier. But those pics…boy this wait is hard.

 

[jawsrulz]

Just got the update that Data arrived in Los Angeles. I'm in Sacramento so getting close.

 

[nanjin]

The figure support is redundant for EXO-6 figures unless you live in California where the earth shakes from time to time.

The support pole can be placed at any edge of the hex stand even if number of stands are connected.

You can remove the cover and have a pure black color stand.

We might make spacers for the stands, so the figure can be placed slightly taller and won't be blocked the figures standing infront. We can also add spotlights.

Need to fuss with the figure to do some post “shipping” reorganizing.

Gently pull the inner shirt UP from around the collar.

Then while pushing down on both shoulder, pull the jacket downward from the groin area.
