Well I'll be one of the punks buying the SV-51 when it comes out. I've already been a sucker when the VF-0S and VF-0A came out and paid $180 for each and when the Stealth came out I paid #215 for the FAST pack bundle. So nowadays when I'm souring on the toy collection and actually been selling some off the only one I really am looking forward to is the SV-51. I skipped on the YF-19 1/60 scale since I actually want the older 1/72 size to round out my collection of the M+ valks.

Well if you pay attention to the news, kids and adults have been getting killed over toy guns and such for a long time. Remember the reason toy gun law went into affect were that kids and teens were getting shot by the cops by accident. I may be wrong, but I believe the big push to make toy guns orange and bright colors was when a kid was shot by cops in the 80s when a old black laser tag gun was mistaken by a real one by a cop and a kid died over it and that gun didn't even resemble a real one. Heck, if I saw a kid or teen with Megatron in gun mode and didn't know what the hell it was and he was walking around the block, I'd call the cops on him. Megatron may be big, but with the Desert Eagle and other huge side arms out their with laser sights, scopes, etc. guns come in all shapes and sizes and not the old .22 caliber arms anymore. p.s. I hope that Skywarp MP is real!

That photo is a FAKE fan made creation, that was shown on AintItCoolNews.com maybe about 1-2 years ago. They showed it compared to the regular exotic car it was photoshopped from. Here's the original link it came from, too bad: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/24405

Well if you count the Toynami MPC VF-1S Roy was want got me reintroduced to Macross. I wish I bought the 1/60 VF-1S instead but didn't know better (just sold the MPC a while back), but my first true Macross toys was the 1/60 Yamato VF-1A.

Burnt orange & amber yellow, the elite & mean "Happy Ponies" Squadron! Rawks!

Looks good. The 3D model for the main character doesn't look too next-gen though looks like PS2 still.

Until the SV-51 comes out and I can head over to F&S to pick up the 1/60 YF-19, I've been saving my money and have switched over to a new hobby, golf. I've stopped collecting anime cels since the market has dried up on the cels I usually collect and my friends and I have gotten older, slower and bigger to play our previous games of tennis & basket ball. So a few months ago we tried out golf and now that's been my main hobby since the greens fees and equipment costs kinda eclipses my being able to buy other hobby items these days. So do other MW members play golf and if so what equipment do you play and courses you suggest? I'm in Southern California so if any MW members have recommendations for courses in L.A., Long Beach, Orange County, and Northern San Diego County please post them here since my friends and I try out new courses every month across all four counties. Here is my current set-up. Driver: Taylor Made HT R7 460 Draw with Aldila NV 75-S Woods: 3 & 5 Top-Flite HCT Tour Hybrids: 3 & 4-Taylor Made Rescue Mid, 5-Top-Flite HCT Tour Irons: Callway X-18 (3 iron), Dunlop SST (5 iron), Top-Flite HCT Tour (6-SW) Wedge: Cleveland 588 Tour Action lob Putter: Taylor Made Monsa Rosa & RAM laser Ball: Titleist NXT Tour, Callaway HX Hot Glove: Taylor Made React 2 Shoe: Dunlop Sport I'm also saving up to get used Titleist Vokey wedges and maybe a MacTec NVG2 or Cleveland Hi-Bore driver.

Nice, so is this mainly that background story on the ride armors?

New Gatchaman concept art just popped up on the website of the makers of the film (same guys making the new TMNT movie). http://www.imagi.com.hk/web/main.php

SUpersweet. How about an Angel Birds GBP?

Super nice, please custom make a cartoon accurate Skyfire. That would be da bomb.

Well I hope the movie was better than the actual comic, I thought the comic was pretty weak (kinda like Miller's Dark Knight Strikes Again). I did like the Sin City Comics and the movie was great. Hoping to catch this movie this weekend.

Looks great, can't wait to see it with decals and stickers as it gets closer to production. The little pilot figure in the SV looks like Isamu from the YF-19, is that Ivanov's uniform color?

Sweet custom. Any other colors you're thinking of making, maybe skull leader colors?

Wha????????? What scale?

Well, I'll be off MW for a while, my 3rd computer problem in the same amount of days has crept up. My OS is corrupted and I'm running on Safe mode now...ack!

Nice collection, like the various CMS variation's on Lisa's body.

Hot dog, I think I just found my new favorite movie trilogy to replace Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Die Hard. etc!

I was originally going to ask for help here but I ended up wasting so much time trying to fix the problem I did the next best thing to troubleshoot....bought a new printer. For 3 hours I was trying to figure out why all of a sudden (the day after I bought and installed new inks) for my Lexmark printer I had problems with the printer spooler, then the "specified print monitor unknown", then "access denied" screen trying to reinstall software. After deleting some bad spooler software from Lexmark by going through the registry, uninstalling/reninstalling drivers, and then going through TWO software support people from India (they were o.k. but could not figure out the problem and THEN both times I got cut off after 30 mins on the line) I ended up going to Walmart and buying a new HP scanner/copier combo and now I am able to print. Wish this problem happened BEFORE I spent $50 buying and installing new inks into the printer. Beware of Lexmark printers, they install a LEXBCE.exe program that messes up routinely the printer spooler causing your computer to not recognize the printer.

Also dug the two Dungeons & Dragons games, Golden Axe 1 & 2, Battle Toads, Hit the Ice, In the Hunt, Mazinger Z, WWF Wrestlemania, Sky Kid, Sunset Riders, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Vendetta,

One thing that did annoy me a bit was that as Johnny Blaze and also as Ghost Rider, they both pointed their fingers at people too much. Too much finger pointing!

Old school Ninja Gaiden, but it's super hard near the end.

Valkyrie addict your Hasegawa VF-OX Armored valk is Da Bomb! Would you mid taking close-up pics of it along with the armored VF-1J next to it? I never realized it stood toe-to-toe with it in size.

Oh I'd buy two! Then I'd wait for MW members to complain about the diecast, cost, saggy parts, etc., but I'd pay $200!
