Where can I find a Halcyon Aliens Drop Ship?

Trigger, no idea where you can find one, it's the new Holy Grail of kits it seems.  I'd love to have one, along with another APC that I could attempt to make an interior for as well. 

Good hunting!

"Alright, people, I want combat seating...pack 'em in!"

Can't help you find one, but I've been looking for years...and finally found one just last week at a local shop that carries old kits! Snapped it up in a heartbeat, too...for 2,500 yen. That's about $21 USD. Needless to say, it was a very satisfying buy!

The moral of the story is to wait, and one is just liable to appear before your very eyes, very cheap!

Good luck!

You might check out Federation Models and or Monsters in Motion. If you can, you could also attend Wonderfest. I usally see some there. Good luck, Rogue

You were in luck. I doubt anything like that would happen to many others here in North America. So rare to find a LHS, nevermind one carrying older kits. These things tend to go for pretty high on eBay when they do come on. Alas, I have to keep waiting, hoping, for one.

Don't forget garage sales and flea markets! There's always a chance one will pop up somewhere. Not a great chance, of course, but a chance none the less.

Eh.... let me just say this - trust me, there's very little chance of finding a Drop Ship at a Flea Market around here.

Agreed, but very little chance is still a chance none the less, as I said. If you DON'T look, then there's absolutely NO chance!

As has been mentioned, if you gotta have one NOW, eBay is probably the best (and most expensive) way.

Either way, good luck!

Absolutely no messin' man just swapped one for the Aoshima diecast one two weeks ago.

But try this guy, he has everything, Cometminiatures. Just Google.

Hi there,

I've got one I'm willing to sell for the right price.  Still have the original box, instructions and all the pieces although the kit itself has been partially assembled and painted.  Was going for an arctic version so painted with base coat, metallic blue and flat white - but if you're an experienced modeler I'm sure this will be no problem for you to fix to your liking.  Let me know if you're interested and make me your best offer.  Can take some pics also if neccessary, just have to borrow someone's camera.

seems one is available on evilbay. min. price not met yet. highest bid at $21.00

good luck

I got one on eBay back in Jan for $70 about including post to Ireland from a UK seller. A bit expensive, but well worth it. Had to cut out the belly and scratch build the interior APC bay. Have it built with legs and ramp down. Now I need to get one of the 1/72 scale APCs to complete it.

I also want a 1/35 scale APC.....

.....and a fine molds Falcon.....

Interesting Ad I found on a toy/action figure magazine this month.  Aoshima is releasing the Dropship and the APC both in diecast scheduled to ship this June.  The APC is advertised to be 5 inches long.  And from the picture the APC fits into the dropship as well.  Though it's not the model kit, I am still very much looking forward to it.

These have been out since 2004 here in Japan:

Perhaps the add is for an overseas release.

These metal models are indeed quite nice, but all the examples I inspected suffered from large, toy-like gaps where parts screwed together. A bit disappointing. Expensive, too!
