Saw this over at twinmoons forums...the Alpha MPC won't be out this year and two gift sets of morphers are coming... http://www.tmpforums.com/index.php?showtopic=3871

Back in the days of a good economy, VF-1 nuts on ebay and no reissues in sight, I paid 550.00 for a Takatoku 1/55 VF-1S at Wizard World Chicago in 1998. Don't own it anymore. And later that year I bought a Bandai 1990 Super VF-1S 1/55 for 600.00. I thought it was a good deal since at the time they were going for 900.00-1000.00 on ebay. What an idiot...I did sell it for around 500.00 about 8 months before the 1/55 reissues started to hit.

What happens when you start running out of stuff to sell? like me lol Ya I did what you are about to do for along time..but now I'm getting to the point where I don't have as much or valuable stuff to get the money. I'm sure I can find something, I always do. This month is a killer for me in the real world of money...

Here is some stuff from the magicbox. Sorry if some of this is old news http://www.the-magicbox.com/game090503b.htm

I'm not a fan of that Gundam Marker because it's too thick for most panel lines. That's why I opted to use a Sakura Pigma micron 005 pen instead. Ya I know. I had to thin out the black a bit. Do most hobby stores carry the one you use? I'm looking to try something a little better than a crappy Gundam marker.

wow no love for the ugliest of the 1/55 reissues. damn thats cheap.

I did panel lines on the custom Hikaru VF-1S I made..I cheated and used a fine tipped black Gundam marker. I was going for the "anime" look. of course the day after I did it, the Yamato version went up for preorder lol I might try a a light grey oil wash next time around for a more realistic look.

*cough* Stand Alone Complex *cough* Of course, SAC is so expensive to produce, they're only doing 22 episodes or so. I thought I read somewhere that GITS SAC is being extended to 52 episodes?

I have no idea on how to save Star Trek.... It's been floundering around for so long maybe its time to take a break for awhile... and take time to develop a series instead of just throwing them out there one after another with no real direction or substance. Wasn't there talk of a show with Riker as captain, if and when Enterprise is cancelled?

Oh boy a new Gundam series...I wonder if this one will feature a young full of angst teenage boy trying to find himself while controlling a giant mech... Actually an Armored Core series would be kind of cool. Kawamori does most of the mech designs for that. It might get me interested into serious mech shows again. Macross Zero sure didn't. <_<

One of my 1/48 VF-1S had the "pimple". While it shouldn't be there, just use fine grit sandpaper or a file to remove it. You can't even tell it was there on mine anymore. The seam on the VF-1S head is a dead issue. Unless you like staring at your toys nose to nose, you can't see it at a "normal" viewing distance.

I must be in the wrong line of work... I don't think my friends and I in our prime beer drinkin' and smokin j's years could come up with this. I'd like to see the films that lost... Speaking Of Lodoss War. How is the TV series? I've been a fan of the original for a long time.

I like the show alot but Escaflowne really doesn't need a sequel. It really didn't need a movie either... Well if its a new Macross series, hire anyone else but the chump who did the character designs for Macross Zero. For the most part they are hideous. I tried to like them. Maybe it will be like how Spring and Chaos was made. Macross' characters and mechs are cats. They can preach an environmental message like Arjuna "Ya know when ya eat cheeseburgers...." A new Macross series might interest me but since my interest in serious sci-fi mech anime is at an all time low... so who knows. Thankfully Macross isn't always dependent on mechs.

http://animenation.net/news/ Is there really such a thing as a wanted piece of dog poo?

All Gundam has always been aimed for kids or to be exact, pre teen and teenage boys. Which to me, almost 30...., are kids. That's not to say Macross was aimed for adults either btw.

you can buy takatoys sheets at twinmoons place too http://www.tmpanime.com/product_info.php/c...1e029db5d885d2e These are great.

Ya unloaded all of my 1/55s (originals and reissues). Some of the money used to buy 1/48s I've sold most of my 1/60's too. Some of that money used for 1/48s as well I wouldn't mind seeing a Super O in 1/48. The only problem(for me) is spending all that money just to leave it in fighter mode. That's why I'm undecided on the 1/60 Super O. The battroid mode looks like an after thought.

It's all about Gundam, baby. Sad... but true. Even here (SF Bay Area), I see more Gundam stuff in shops than I do Macross. Another index of popularity...search on "Gundam" over at Google turns up 1,950,000 hits. "Macross" only turns up 471,000. Personally, I've only seen one Gundam film ("Char's Counterattack") and I couldn't stand it. One of the reasons you see more Gundam merchandise is simply because there's more Gundam than Macross. Gundam has been a continuous cycle of TV shows, OVAs, movies with toys, models, etc to go along with it for 20 plus years. Personally, I think Gundam blows but that is something fo another time. Whereas Macross, wakes up every once in awhile and gives us some new products. Lately, its been alot lol. Considering how many shows have come & gone since Macross aired in the 80's, its kind of surprising to see new merchandise still being made.

Its a toss up for me between DYRL and Macross Plus. Granted that DYRL uses some of the TV series BGM which I like. At least in DYRL we don't have to hear "My boyfriend is a Pilot" too much... Macross Plus, I think was one of the first animes that I was really "into" the music. The BGM music is great. And "Voices" is probably my favorite Macross song. I like the rest of Sharon's Apples "creepy" songs too. This coming from a guy who is going to buy Slayer w/Hatebreed tickets this week..lol M7's Fire Bomber can stay in the bargain bin....

I sold off most of my 1/60s. I was gonna sell the rest (3) but for now I'm keeping them. I might pick up a 1/60 Super O. My 1/55s are all gone(originals and reissues) except the two I'm selling on ebay right now. Like the transformer reissues, these just don't do it for me anymore. Nostalgia be damned

its based off of the TV series http://www.tmpanime.com/product_info.php/c...products_id/545

I wonder why the boxes are so big? Sorry to offend the Elintseeker lovers out there, but that has to be the stupidest looking Battroid mode out of any Macross mech I've ever seen. Fighter mode looks good but I'll pass on this one. Even though I swore off the 1/60 line, I might pick up that Super O. Looks good. I'll just keep it in fighter mode I guess. Maybe Gerwalk every once in awhile.

The PS2 has some terrible loading times in weapon master mode. There is some slowdown. And like MMX said Heihachi is just a waste. It doesn't feel right at all. Necrid is a waste too but he is in all versions. The only real advantge the PS2 has over the GC, is the controller. No one will be able to convince me that the GC contoller is good for this game.
