Nope, hothing. Complete silence so far Graham

Not bad. Definitely better than the US AnimEgo set box art, which was very disappointing IMO. Graham

1) DYRL Minmay. 2) MD7 Mylene. And Mao is only 11, not 14.....sickos! Graham

2045 definitely. Can attend Fire Bomber concerts. BOMBA! Graham

No, Yamato make toys, not model kits. Graham

Why did you bother going to a TRU in HK, when there are so many excellent toy and hobby shops here selling Japanese toys? Graham

the real question is what are they going to call it? Macross DYRL? or Macross : Clash of the Bionoids? That would suck!! It's already been established that HG is using the 'Do You Remember Love' name. Here. Graham

Pick the fastest plane you have, fly to a wheelie thing, slow down, and approach from the front so the wheelie is on your left. Switch targets until the orange target (I guess it's the wheelie's bridge) is highlighted, then fire four missles right at it. Jet off as fast as you can to the next, and repeat. Don't waste time with any of the other targets. I've figured out by myself, that you just need to shoot the bridge of each wheelie. I've been using the F-105, which is pretty fast. I have it armed with the air to surface missiles, which lock-on at longer range than regular missiles and seem to do more damage. The problem is, I still can't kill all the wheelies before one of them makes it off the map, there are just too many of them. I don't know how many there are, I'm guessing at least 12 (4 groups of 3?). Seems like some of the planes don't have afterburner. SU-25 Frogfoot and the F-8 or is it an A-7 (I always mix up the two)? Also found that if you time the release right, the Frogfoot's FAE bombs can be quite effective against the wheelies. Starting to get frustrated. Graham

Johnny Destiny, Space Ninja!!!!!!!!.........LOL. Love it! Great one more thing I can use that to annoy the Gundam pukes. Graham

Oh those Roombas are so cute (look quite practical too). I want one to annoy my cats with. And only US$199 as well. Too bad Amazon.com won't ship them outside of the US....grrrr! Graham

If the DYRL Super Posables actually get released, could they be paving the way for DYRL MPCs in the near future? Toynami MPC VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valk anybody?..............something to think about. Graham

My 1/60 VF-1 toys currently occupy one whole shelf of my display cabinet. However, as my 1/48 collection has now grown to 15pcs (incl 5 unopened), most of my 1/60 toys will soon be retired and placed into storage once the 1/48 M&Ms come out. The only 1/60 toys I am going to keep on display, will be the VE-1 and VT-1, which IMO look great in fighter mode, the VF-1D in battroid and also the 1/60 GBP when it comes out. Everything else is going away. Graham

Just because we have never seen the gunpods attached in atmospheric fighter mode, doesn't mean that they can't be attached. A gunpod (or perhaps even 2 gunpods) probably just attach to the arms. Graham

Yup, signature pics are not allowed on Macrossworld. I have removed yours Stormseeker. AFAIK, Macross Zero episode # 4 is scheduled for a May 28 release. Nobody knows the release date for episode # 5 yet, but it will likely be November or December this year. Graham

Just drones, with probably very limited AI software. Graham

It's worth getting despite the annoying characters and inane between mission chatter and briefings. Still stuck on the damn 'Roller Games' mission. Just can't kill all the wheelie things before some of them escape. Graham

Go on, don't beat about the bush, tell us what you REALLY think! Graham

I know CPM has in the past released Votoms on VHS, but did they ever previously release it on DVD or is this new box set the first time for an R1 DVD release? And here's some more Votoms questions, which I hope some of our knowledgable members will be able to answer: - 1) Has Votoms ever been been shown on US TV? If so, during which year? 2) Can any of our European or South American members please let me know if Votoms has ever been shown on TV in your country, or had an official licensed VHS or DVD release? Thanks in advance, Graham

More than a decade ago, I had a Japanese friend translate some of the text in the TIAS Mac II book and IIRC, the gunpods are railguns. Also IIRC, even the big gun on the SAP is a railgun, something which the Paladium RPG got wrong. Graham

Looks like one of the Arii 1/6 scale Minmay figs. IIRC they're made out of PVC, so I guess whatever glue is suitable for PVC should work. Graham

Unfortunately, there has never been any lineart published which shows where the gunpod is stored on a non-SAP equipped VF-2SS in fighter mode. Graham

AFAIK, they have no special plans for a DYRL 20th Anniversery product, although I have suggested that several times in the past that it would be a really good idea. Graham

Gotta say I'm enjoyig AFDS a bit more now. Although some of the stages are very similar to those in AC4, there are also several very original stages as well.I currently stuck on the stage where you have to shoot all the big wheelie things before they escape off the map. Pretty challenging. Graham

I guess that's why you turn off the sound and pump up Information High. Yeah, but you've still got to read the annoying subtitles, which crawl onto the screen at a snail's pace. h Heck I could read faster than the subs appear when I was 3 years old. Graham

Well, they couldn't really use the name 'Conan' in the title could they, otherwise viewers would be all disappointed after discovering that there are no sword swinging barbarians anywhere. Graham
