  1. I am looking to trade my Hot Toys T-800 Tech Noir Terminator and my DX Bruce Lee for some Macross stuff.

    I am looking for:

    Yamato SV-51 Ivanov

    Yamato 1/60 version 2.0 TV Kakizaki

    Yamato 1/60 2.0 movie VF-1A cannon fodder

    Bandai 1/100 Hi Metal Vf-1S or VF-1A

    Bandai Old School DYRL VF-1A Hikaru (red stripe version) in box

    Gakken Mospeada Cyclone motorcycle

    Also feel free to drop me some offers and tell me what you got.

  2. I am eyeballing the new Bandai Hi metal VF-1, and was wondering if anybody has one. If so, how is it? How does it measure up compared to the 1/60 Yamato V2's? I like the idea that Bandai is getting back into the older Macross again, but jut need to know a little more before I pull the trigger. Any help is appreciated. Oh, also how much of it is actually metal?

  3. I have a dvd copy od the movie, but it seems awfully dark/muddy. I am positive that it's the same copy that a majority of us have. The question is, is there anybody out there that has a super clear version? I know there was an HD version released back in '07, but unfortunately that did not come with english subtitles. So if there is anybody out there that can possibly tell me where to get a good copy, please let me know. This is something that has been bothering me since way back.

  4. Not quite, but it's a crop-dusting transformer. :lol:

    Michael Bay can dust my balls. I hate that guy. But yeah, I checked out that actual transformer, and I have to admit, I will probably get it. Man I hate toys. 34 Years old, and they have consumed my being.

  5. Wonder what the battroid would look like. Lol.

    I don't know....I'm actually kinda working on that. I actually want to make every skull leader model that I can while adding my own renditions. I'm going to do an X-29 and hopefully a Russian SU-37 with the forward swept wings.

  6. For some damn reason, it aint letting me post my pics. I keep on uploading them, but it always comes up blank and it's pissing me off!

    anybody know how the hell I post pics. I've done it before, but for some reason it isn't letting me upload anything. I've tried now about 20 times to no avail.

  7. I am looking for a version 1 1/48 scale low visibilty vf-1a. If anybody has one, please hit me up. And no, I don't want to pay some outrageous price for it either.So if you have something for me, send me a PM or message here.

    Thanks

  8. I just got both the VF-1S and VF-1A, and I have to say....WOW. I never thought I would see such quality from Yamato. I am absolutely stunned. Going from the V.1 1/60's to the 1/48's, and on to this. I absolutley love what they have achieved. Granted they could have integrated some die-cast, I still think that it really has a solid feel to it. I do often hear about this shoulder hinge thing. I hope that it's an easy fix, or Yamato clears the problem up in time. The quality control has jumped a million points in my book. I imagined that they would be better than the past innovations, but jeez. I had zero, none , nada, ideas that they would turn out to be such a good toy. I only hope people can enjoy this thing as much as I am. I know when things break, it does suck something fierce. Other than the shoulder thing, just be careful, and I imagine you will be very very happy with your purchase.

    There is one thing though, and that's my opinion about which carnation looks the best. I have to stick with the 1/48's as far as looks go. If all you can get is the 1/60 scale, screw what I think. It's just a stupid opinion. I'm dumb enough to have both!

  9. I liked Zero a lot, but I don't have the aversion to "environmental themes" that a lot of people here seem to. I think the flying rocks and insects moulting and camouflaged octopi pissed a lot of people off.

    Oh, and the ending being pretty weird. That bugged people, too.

    However, I think it's impossible to dislike the action scenes in it. It's, like, against the laws of physics or something.

    As for your comments about Mac7 and MacF...well, ALL Macross has music as a major plot point. I like 7, but I can see why it's a little much for some. Did you watch the WHOLE series, though? Often (but not always), people come away from the series liking it much more than they did going into it. At least in Frontier, pink beams didn't shoot out of Ranka's mouth when she sang at the Zentradi...the way it was presented, it wasn't much different than a Minmay-style culture shock.

    But if you are that averse to any reference to Mac7, you'll absolutely HATE the music in Frontier episode 17... :p

    I have to admit, there was some stuff that was out there. I just looked past it because the series really struck me as being more hard-core. Yeah it kind of got wierd or lame near the end, but every series seems to have their quirks. For me, in macross 7, it was the playing the instruments thing. In Frontier, it was the speakers on the VF, as well as the singing at times. I just don't know why people couldn't look past some things in Zero, but in Frontier they seem to let everything by.

    I guess it just comes with the territory. Maybe that's why everybody hates Zero. Because there wasn't too much of the singing as well as the pop singer. It was just different.

    You know what. Maybe I should give 7 another shot.

    Zero was just more serious, and I liked that. There was nothing that really cheese in it. Granted there was some, but just a slice. Not a whole wedge.

    Also (I know I'm gonna get hung for this one) I don't think the animation is all that in Frontier(with the exception of the Valkrie animation). Plus and Zero were done waay better in my opinion. Hopefully the Frontier movie will be top notch!
