Wrong forum. This forum is for discussing Macross toys only! Your topic is bing moved to the 'Other Anime & Sci Fi' forum. Graham

I remember those days Shin! And I sure remember when Graham was flammed and told his chunky monkey review was biased!! Looking back on things now, if I had to do it again, I'd probably write that review differently Graham

LOL......that is funny Graham

I think we're gonna have to create a special forum just for you and Agent One. Graham

Bah, Gaiking was always my least favorite super robot. I want a Combattler V remake....best Super Robot show ever IMO! V. V. V. Victory Graham

Yeah...Jack Black as King Kong! Tenacious-Kong....LOL Graham

MSV stands for Mobile Suit Variation. Graham

I saw the Hikaru VF-1J Super at Animate, but not at Kanto. Graham

Just came back from Mong Kok and no Max VF-1J yet at either Kanto Hobby or Animate Graham

I'll see if I can get down to Kanto Hobby and Animate in Mong Kok during my lunch break to see if Max is out yet. Graham

This book has line art of those FAST packs showing them in both open and closed configuration. The front part hinges open to reveal the missiles, much like the shoulder armor of the GBP-1S armor. I'll see if I can remember to scan the pic when I get home tonight. Graham

Ouch.......................that's pretty yucky box art compared to the original. Thanks for the pic tho. Graham

I've heard rumors of an Academy VF-2SS for a long time, but I've never actually seen one. Can you post photos of the box and the kit? Graham

Outstanding work as always Kurt. I'll get this up in the MW toy gallery as soon as I have time. Graham

This is way cool. Gotta add it to the MW custom toy gallery. Graham

Great job, I'll get these added to the MW custom toy gallery within the next few days (schedule allowing). Graham

Just like Shawn, it was originally the model kits that drew me into Macross (even though I'm not really a model builder). Back in 1982 or 1983, I was living in UK and the Imai and Arii Macross models were being imported into UK and fairly widely available in most model shops (at least in the area I lived). As soon as I saw the box art, I was blown away by the designs and had to start buying as many of these kits as possible (not easy when my pocket money was something like 50p a week). From the time I'd spent in HK during 1976 to 1979, I realised that these models must be from a Japanese cartoon (I hadn't even heard of the term 'anime' back then) and I so loved the designs, that as corny as it sounds, I promised myself that one day I would find a way to watch the cartoon that these lovely model kits were from. Fast forward to 1986, I'm back in Hong Kong and manage to catch an episode on Macross on TV, which starts to renew my interest in the show. However, it was not until 1987 when I saw DYRL on Laser Disc that I really got into Macross and began my obsession with the show and especially the toys. It's now 2004 and Macross is one of the main loves of my life. Macross and it's sequels are my all time favorite animes and I've spent an insane amount of money over the past 17 years, tracking down and buying Macross toys, CDs, books, games and other miscellaneous Macross junk Although I love all aspects of Macross, it's probably the mechanical designs and mecha combat that attract me the most. Graham

I believe I read something about that before. Knowing Lucas, it's a sure thing once all the planned "seasons" are aired. Probably this winter or next spring before Ep. 3 hits theaters. Or maybe we'll have to wait 20 years for a remastered 'special edition'. Graham

I'm pretty much sick and tired of Gundam. I've been burnt out on it for a long, long time. The last Gundam anime I really enjoyed was 08MST. I did try to get into SEED, honestly I did, but it just didn't work for me. However, I have to say that IMO the Astray designs are the nicest MS design to appear in a long time. I'd definitely be willing to give an Astray anime a try. Heck, I'm even considering buying the red and blue Astray MSiA toys, which are due out in May and I swore off buying MSiA toys a year or more ago. Still hoping one day for a high quality Gunadam Sentinel OVA tho! Graham

Interesting news. Original BGC is one of my favorite animes besides Macross. Graham

Anybody know if there have been any plans announced yet to release these on DVD? Graham

You sadists! Isn't this against the Geneva convention or something? All this talk of putting military pilots in boiling water or using micro-torches on them, you better be prepared to face the war crimes tribunal. Graham

I wish! But no, sadly I live in a tiny little house in Tai Po. Graham

You'd bet your house on it eh? Is it a nice house? Does it have a sea view or a swimming pool? How many bedrooms does it have? I'm looking to upgrade to a bigger house. Graham

David, actually, I managed to take down Pierre using the A-10 and did it very easily as well. Almost as soon as I got to the city I saw Pierre and took him out almost at once with a salvo of rockets and a burst from the cannon. As the A-10 turns better than most other planes, it was easy to out-turn Pierre and walk my cannon fire and rockets into him. Graham
