Leave it to Agent ONE to illustrate clearly-defined degrees of jerkiness.

I was raised old Japanese style and American style. I'm Japanese. I understand both ways of thinking. It's all good. Both have their ups and downs.

I guess I can't blame a seller for taking advantage of the 1/48's scarcity. It's a business, after all. They're in it to make money. I may not like the higher prices, but that's the nature of the beast.

And I got devoured long ago.

To get back on topic..

Buy now, or risk not being able to get it at all. Sure, you might be able to find your 1/48 Valk of choice later, but there's no guarantee.

Gotta love the hobby.

Look, I'm not haterist and I'm not Agent ONE. I'm looking at this from the outside and this is what I see..

No matter what your arguments may be, Hurin.. they're exactly that. Arguments. You don't care about who's wrong or right as long as you can continue to argue your point "cogently" so that people will take a fairer view of you than the other guy.

You know what? At this point it doesn't matter what your argument is, or how

"cogent" it is. You absolutely have to get the last word in, and that's what people are sick of, what they're pointing out. That's why no one really cares how well-constructed or eloquent your arguments are.

I'm not taking sides here, no matter what you may think. I'm calling it as I see it. If you really want people to get off your back, get off of your soapbox. You're proving them right by always, ALWAYS having to throw in that last jab. Understand that at this point, no one wants to hear your side, haterist's, Agent's, or even mine. You want people to get off you? You want people to be reasonable? Then prove their attitudes toward you wrong. You don't need to have the last word. You don't need to post anything more to argue your point.

Let it go. For real.

He instigates, nothing more. At times he seems to be here for the right reason, but he isn't.

Yeah. That's why I said I wanted it to end already. Anyway, I've said more than I should've. Bring back the peace.

Back to lurk mode.

I gotta say something. I usually don't. I let the sh_t fly and just watch. But not this time.

Hurin, let it go already. I don't want to keep seeing this pop up again. And before you put up some long post about how haterist is wrong and juvenile or whatever, save it. This time, you started it. Don't bother sending PMs about how I'm suddenly a jerk either, because they'll be ignored. I'm not taking sides, and both of you are normally very cool contributors to this community, but please..

Enough already. Damn.

Interesting. I always thought Mike O'Hearn (that's the guy playing Superman in the pic) would've made a good Superman, at least physically. But can he act? He's a martial artist and bodybuilder.. not an actor.

Greg,

Please accept my deepest sympathy and very best wishes for you and your daughter. Take care of yourself and your little girl, and we'll be here for you when you decide to visit again.

Condolences,

Um.. wow.

My girl knows how much i like the song, so she said if i find the sheet music, she will learn the song.

She also "claims" she can sing it better then Minmay.

I told her "yeah right"...

I want to see her try though.

We wanna see you try. Then Shawn can put it on the DVD.

Mari Iijima would probably come to your house and thrash you, though.

From what I've been told, Macross really isn't that popular in Japan anyway. As has been said many times before (no matter how we may feel about it).. it's all about Gundam over there.

If your audio setup features Dolby Pro-Logic II, then it'll split up the 2-channel stereo signal on the FX DYRL disc and provide you with some nice, simulated surround sound. Don't waste your time with the other DYRL boots. The FX disc is the one to own.

And seriously, I am all in if they put out a pulse rifle...

Aliens Rifle

These guys make an Aliens rifle prop. Just be prepared to shell out the cash.

I woulda bounced that kid off my front steps.

Not.

But the kid's behavior really made me wish I could've gotten away with a stunt like that. My God. Remember, folks..

.. it all begins at home.

Was that necesary?

Was that necessary?

Good to have you with us, KP. Enjoy your stay!

I am just trying to justify spending 180 bucks on  DVDs. My parents definately wouldn't understand my need for 180 dollars in 80s cartoons...

You're 18. That means you're legally an adult. As an adult, you don't have to justify squat. If your bills are paid and you want to spend the money, go for it. It's no one's business but yours.

Isn't that part of the fun of becoming an adult?

I bet when Jeffrey gets older and realizes the significance of having a dad who collects toys (especially Macross toys), he's gonna think to himself..

"Heh. My dad is cool."

Add NizZzus to the list. I bought the DYRL Perfect Edition DVD (R2) from him and it arrived lightning fast, from Pennsylvania to Hawaii in a matter of a few days. Thanks Juan!

When he gets old enough, we can all take turns borrowing Jeffrey long enough to give him lots of candy and snacks that'll get him all wired up, and then send him home with battery-operated toys that make a huge racket (including lots of extra batteries).

Congratulations and my very best wishes to Graham and Amy, and welcome Jeffrey!!

And now the question must be asked..

.. is Dad's collection Jeffrey-proofed?

Hi and welcome to MacrossWorld, where being poor has never been more fun!

Graham is a qualified Transformers kicker.

Someone snag me a Ride Armor, please? I'll pay.

Make sure to let him know that I've got all the hi-res art from the Mech box, should he want or need it.

Keep us posted.

Will do.
