All the GBP model kit box pictures show some art on the inside of the GBP's lower leg, sort of like WWII bomber nose art, usually a sexy girl pic. One of the Macross Mode Handbooks has a page of this art, which I could scan. I've just PM'd Devin to ask him if he is willing to include this art on the GBP sticker sheet he is making up. I'm sure most of us here would like this for our 1/48 GBP. IIRC, the original Takatoku 1/55 GBP sticker sheet did include one of these girl pics. It's a shame Yamato left it out. Graham

OK good news guys. I was finally able to get in touch with Shawn by email and phone. We discussed the situation and he will be contacting the interested parties soon. Graham

Oh wow, in all these years I never noticed that there was a Milia GBP kit. Graham

Only 4! You are slipping. Better make it 12. Graham

Nobody knows yet whether the SV-51 will make it into production as a Yamato toy. I'd guess the chances are fairly good, as long as Yamato gets good sales of the 1/60 VF-0 toys first. If the VF-0 fails to sell well, it's unlikely IMO that they would release an SV-51. So boys and girls, you all know what you have to do if you want to see an SV-51 toy from Yamato...................buy a whole sh*t load of VF-0 toys first. Personally, I'd love an SV-51 and would buy multiples of the Nora, Ivanov and Cannon-Fodder color schemes. Graham

What's that saying?..........."Any port in a storm". Or as a friend of mine says "twice as tight and ten degrees warmer". Graham

Heh, I love that you chose Serenity as the movie. Graham

While it's true the main site hasn't been updated recently, it's not like we are exactly stagnant or starved for news as all news, reviews, reports & custom toy/model pics are all posted in the forums by members. I still post scans of the Japanese hobby magazines every month in the forums, apart from the rare occasion when somebody beats me to it and scans and posts them first. Graham

Just for the record, I do have slighty more hair than A1 has portrayed me with. I also like to think my wife is prettier than shown in A1's pic. Graham

Never! I occasionally go though a phase every couple of years where I get into Gundam for a couple of months, but I soon lose interest in it. I'm really not into Gundam now and am actually thinking of selling off all my Gundam crap. Macross will always be my first and main anime love. Graham

Just to clarify: - Shawn pays 100% of the bandwidth costs. For the first few years of Macrossworld, Shawn did all the actually updates, I just supplied him with the text for the news and reviews and provided a lot of the photos. When Shawn got really busy a couple of years ago, I tought myself to use Dreamweaver and started doing all the updates myself. A lot of the toy reviews and the custom toy gallery were created entierly by me. Jesse came on board last year to update the model section. Graham

Have yet to kill anybody, but have spent a lot of time over the years training quite extensively with knives, guns, swords, sticks and bare-hand for the day I may have to. Homeless people don't bother me, It's queue jumpers and people that talk in the cinema that really piss me off. Graham

Yep, this does actually take up most of my free time when I'm not at work. When I do have the odd free minute after the kid's asleep at night, I'd rather be doing the activity in A1's first post or chilling out watching some DVDs or occassionally playing some PS2 games to relax. Graham

LOL..........I like this thread. While I do like to endulge in this activity with my wife as often as possible, the aim is not to make more people. We've both decide one kid is enogh. Graham

Yeah, I second that. Some of the guys on the ToyboxDX forum are experts on Jumbos, so that would be the best place to ask. Graham

Still trying to contact Shawn. Hopefully I'll be able to make contact next week. I'm still going to put forward A1 as a candidate for Admin, together with Mechamaniac and Azrael, regardless of whether A1 is actually serious or not. That way if Shawn gives A1 the post and he accepts I won't have to listen to his bitching & moaning about lack of updates to MW, as he'll be the one responsible for updates Graham

Moved to Other Anime & Scifi, as this is not a Macross game. Graham

I'm on the last few pages of A Clash Of Kings, but I'm a little confused over one point and hoping somebody here can clear up the matter for me, as it's really bugging me. (The following question contains spoilers, so don't read on if you haven't yet read A Clash Of Kings) . . . . . . . . . . Why does Ramsey Snow who has previously been posing as Reek, kill Ser Rodrik Cassel and burn Winterfell? Shouldn't Ramsey Snow be on the side of Winterfell and the Starks? We know that Ramsey Snow is Roose Bolton's Bastard and Roose Bolton is fighting for Robb Stark. The fact that Ramsey is able to command 600 men from the Dreadfort garrison implies that he has his father's trust. Graham

LOL.......what's wrong with sex in a hospital? I'll take it anywhere, anyplace, anytime I can get it I'm only up to ep # 17 so far. Bit difficult to figure out the finer points of the story sometimes with the crappy Engrish subs of the HK boot. Graham

That Minmay pic of Solscud's is starting to give me indecent thoughts about my plastic figures. Is that wrong? Graham

Heh and the laser pistols that looked like staple guns. Graham

Holy Grail is in my top 10 movie list. Graham

Great show if you can ignore the extremely bad science of the moon being blown out of orbit and then encountering a new planet or new alien race each week. Didn't bother me as a kid, but now it's a bit too much suspension of disbelief. Graham

1/48 Scale Eagle Replica. Nice, but way too expensive IMO. And some cheaper 12" Eagles. Graham
