I just picked up the MG RX-78 GP02A 'Coating' version. (Yeah, I know, my model selection is a bit odd... )

Any particular tricks to keep the sprue-cuts from being too blatant on the finished model?

Recently, I ordered two items from HLJ. The PG -00 Raiser kit, and the 'Special Weathering' version of the OD Destroid Tomahawk.

I ordered these items on 4/18, but since I slightly overspent my income tax refund, I had to wait until the following week-end to cover the slight defficit in payment. Needless to say, I got the payment in to them.

And, here it is, three weeks later, and I still haven't gotten a shipping confirmation from them.

Is this usual? Or, am I just 'special'?

Not for lack of trying, though...

In her dialogue, Grace said something to the effect that the Protoculture feared the Vajra, and worshipped them as gods, even. Seeing this idea, she may have thought that she could systematically wipe out any and all resistance that came her way.

Could she have? That's another thing, entirely.

No one knows just how many Vajra there are. WE could have seen just a small fraction of the total galactic population in 'Frontier', and thier homeworld. WE do know that their evolutionary processes are damn-near instantanious, and they have incubation hives all over the place (That is, it's reasonable to assume so), so who knows just how amny there really are?

Half the astray is a retool of the Strike and the PG 00 barely qualifies for "PG" so if that's going to be the trend I could care less what the next release will be.

Seeing as I'm waiting for a PG -00 Raiser, I gotta ask... Why don't you like it? Or, more to the point, why do you think it barely qualifies as 'PG'?

I'll take three

1x XL

2x XXL

Would these be available in hoodie format ? =) lmk

A hoodie? That would be excellent!

Personally, I'd give vital parts of my anatomy for a 1/60 Scale PG RX-79(G)...

I am absolutely interested! Extremely interested!

consider me commited to a 2X!

Hope this helps.

Indeed, it does, and I'm much obliged for the info.

Thanks!

Speaking of Master Grades...

I just picked up another pair of Master Grades, the RX-178 (Ver. 2), and the RX-93 V-Gundam.

Both of these have mesh tubing, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there who'd buolt them, in case there's some special tricks for the tubing.

Anthony Hopkins' 'Hanibal Lechter' was about the most evil bad guy I've ever seen.

Okay... you've got me there... but let's remember that the majority of fans aren't that goddamn stupid, and just end up getting caught in the clusterfart of insane theories bouncing around Robotech.com. This isn't a project for the die-hard nutjobs, it's something for the everyman.

Miguel DeCervantes wrote a story about something like this...

Really, I would've been more interested to get feedback on my attempt to impose some sense of logic on the various Robotech stories, but someone decided to fixate on "a wiki is a bad idea" instead.

Well, here's a thought.

"It's a complete waste of time, since HG, RT, and the fanboy loyalists don't acknowledge Logic or Reasoning."

How's that?

LOL... you guys are making fun of people that don't know the difference between Robotech, Macross and Astroplan?

WEll, they kinda deserve it. The mindset of 'Piloted Transforming PLanes means ROBOTECH!', as idiotic as it is, opens them up for it.

Aw, hell!

I just ordered this kit, myself.

Now, I'm drooling more like a madman than before! I can't wait 'til it gets here!

Excellent job!

Hold your horses there, we don't know if the LAM is going to be tacky. What is known is that it's ambiguous and under severe legal and artistic restrictions from the nature of the show.

Allow me to respond...

RT2S + RT-TSC + HGMP/Mods = RA

To expand...

Robotech 2: The Sentinels + Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles + Harmony Gold's Marketing Practices (And, alternately, the behavior of thier mods) = The Reasonable Assumption of 'Tacky'.

Class Dismissed.

What's a lagit copy? Don't you mean legit - as in legitimate?

Poor spelling that nullifies the meaning aside, you like Macross? You like to watch more of it? Pay for it.

More money paid to the people producing Macross = more Macross gets made.

But, for the simple fact that in many areas, Macross is unavailable, due to everybody's favorite company, Harmony Gold.

Nice try.

I'm much obliged for the pointers. I don't want to mess this one up. Thanks!

are you talking about the PG kit?

Yeah, the PG... Sorry about that.

I just ordered the Gundam 00 Raiser kit from HLJ. Anyone got advise for putting this beast together?

Also, I understand that the twin GN-drives light up, but there's a rumor going around that there's another light-up gimic included. Anyone have any info on this?

I foound these three at Sakura Con, in Seattle, a couple weeks ago.

Great functionality, even when some big-ass alien thing rips a leg/engine off.

Supremely futuristic fighter that still utilizes a catapult launch system (If it ain't broke, don't bother looking for an improved system!)

As I've said, even bullcrap can make money if marketed correctly. Nostalgia will only bring so many people. Beyond that, you'll have to market something else besides nostalgia.

Okay... here's what I see.

Situation A: Nostalgia Marketing.

Tose few nostalgic people, eager to relive their youth, go to see the flick, and find it to be something completely alien in nature. The few level-headed, thinking people amongst them say "Wait a damn minute!" and scratch their heads.

Situation B: New-Market Marketing

The prospective new fans that HG wants to bring in see the movie, and get awful confused by transforming fighter planes. "Didn't Bayformers already do that???" they say, and walk out, thinking HG's got a big 'L' tattooed on their collective forehead.

Looks great! Now you just need lots of stains and a couple of gash marks where those lazy fork-lift drivers hit the wall - MT

That would be beautiful, and I have no doubt that Blue could pull it off.

however, in the story that the model's based on, the hagnar's just been restored to pristine condition. All them stains and gouges were fixed.

Someone needs to send this to Maverick and MEMO, and make sure it gets posted in that wonderful "information" thread on RobotechX. They'll poo bricks. ;-)

Done.

In the rt.com thread, Memo welcomes the "naysayers...

Strange, in the fact that MEMO and Mav have banned all the naysayers, or at least, the supposed 'ringleaders' of the massive cabal of Macross-Purist Nay-saying closed-minded idiots that refuse to see the grandeur and glory that is RT.

Hmmm...

EDIT: Forgot to include Mav in that... Sorry, Mav.
