SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. Like, seriously, I’m going to blow my budget for a couple of months, but I have got to have the Hulkbuster. Oh, and there’s some new battleship, too (Richelieu). But I’m all about that Hulkbuster. Also, you may have noticed, but if not – it looks like the Hulkbuster […]
Two New Exclusives Appear
Well, the exclusives have started again. I know there are some of us that do not like exclusives. And there are some that enjoy the hunt. Rather than debating the merits of exclusive models, I’m just going to skip to the part where we can appreciate the designs, and I can let you know where […]
Metal Earth IG Contest!
Want a chance to win some free models? Of course you do! Just head over to Instagram (sign up if you need to, it’s worth it for free models, right? Plus the #MetalEarthFam community is pretty awesome over there) and post a picture of where you build your models. It doesn’t have to be fancy, […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Architecture
Wow, been a busy week of news! We’ve got some rather impressive architectural builds showing up on the Piececool website, strangely enough with a release date of two days ago (and before the Droid models date). These three models, the Ziwei Palace, Daming Palace, and Wind-Rain Bridge, are all rearing and ready to go. Along […]
Coming Soon: International Space Station
Oh yeah. I am so ready for this model. I do believe this is the first real-life space-themed ICONX model, and I think they chose the right subject for that. I can’t wait to build it, ever since they teased it, and even the rumors before that. This is going to be a beast of […]
More About those Droids
Piececool finally dropped some more information, and more photos, on the Star Wars droid models. They are scheduled for release on the 13th of August, so I would expect to see them showing up on AliExpress and other online stores shortly after that. But the part I was most interested in was the additional photos, […]
Monster Truck Sneak Peek!
Well, the July Newsletter just dropped, and it looks like we are getting another Monster Truck in the future. If I knew anything about Monster Trucks, I might be able to identify this one. But sadly, I’ve never had the joy of actually going to a Monster Truck Rally. Seriously, I’d love to. Just haven’t. […]
Vader, Warhawk and Dragon Lady Coming Soon!
I’m sure I’m not the only one glad to see that Vader has finally made his debut on the Coming Soon page! And wow, does he look good. I especially like the way the cloak (not cape) is shaped to account for his forward leg/knee. And of course, the iconic hand position, which I think […]
Dragon Gate Models Coming to Piececool
Piececool is really cranking them out these days. Of course, that’s the benefit of being the same company that manufactures these models. No need to wait on import processing delays as a result of the Beer Flu. Anyways, it looks like they have three new models added to the page, and I know at least […]
PSA: Builder Collaboration Video Project
Stop! Collaborate on Building! Okay, yeah, that was terrible. But you’ve probably come to expect that sort of thing out of me, if you’ve been reading my blog for very long. But, if I got your attention… check out this cool project that AnimateOrange is putting together (and which I’ve already participated a little in). […]
