^ Nice! I like that

I envy you for having the strength to get out of the hobby. I, unfortunately, am too weak

ROTFLMAO

How in the word did he get the fast packs on inside-out? Now that's skill

Not only that, but because the Max, Miria, and Hikaru bundles come packages with FP already equipped, they had to take them off and purposely put them back on incorrectly

As a Macross toy fan I'd rather have nothing than that "Spilit of Valkylieminogue"

But you would buy a polished turd with "25th anniversary" on it, as long as it's official?

Obviously, I have no taste

Battroid is my favorite mode, but I like all 3 modes. As a kid, I thought Gerwalk was retarded, but now I have really grown to appreciate that mode as well. I keep my 1/48's in various modes, some with FP, some without.

Wow! I had Valis 2 or 3 (can't remember which) for my Turbo Grafx 16. I loved that game, I can't believe I had forgotten it. I also remember really liking Legendary Axe, Bonk's Adventures, and Y's. Good times

As a Macross toy fan, I fail to see how this is good news. How is releasing nothing at all better than releasing something? If you didn't like the scheme, you didn't have to buy it. I thought it wasn't too bad. I would have bought it were it an official release. Now I get what? Nothing

As of this moment, we don't know if Yamato will be releasing anything at all for the 25th anniversary. Graham hasn't even hinted at anything (unless I completely missed it)

Another thumbs up for Kevin aka VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM. Good price and fast shipping. You can't beat service like that

^ LOL. There goes his retirement fund

Looking at the auction one notices how the winner spiked the auction. (He won it within the last minute never bidding on it until now) Ha! Evidence that karma exists. Then again some of the bids look like shill bidding.

Didn't look like shill bidding to me. Only one bidder had less than 50 positive ratings (but had more than 9), and all had 100% positive feedback. In my limited experience with shill bidding, people rarely use their "real" account when shill bidding. Also, the seller is a fellow MWer, and we probably shouldn't imply that he was being dishonest without having some kind of proof.

Two very small nitpicks. Both in the DYRL section.

1. The cannon fodder's shoulders should be solid white with red arrow. Cannon fodders do not have the black deco that the hero valks have.

2. You state that Hikaru pilots his VF-1S without FAST packs during the Meltrandi attach on earth. During that scene, Max was the only one piloting a VF-1S. Hikaru and Kakizaki are piloting VF-1A's. Only Skull Leader flies a VF-1S and, at that time, Max was Skull Leader

God I'm a dork! Of course, excellent work on the site. It truly is awesome.

If they do a MPC Scott SC version they better give it metallic paint or something to differentiate it or else fans will probably scream bloody murder.

At this point, does Toynami actually still have any fans? j/k

I had the Lion-O action figure. The Sword of Omens was made of a soft plastic and it pretty much came already bent in the package or would bend very soon after opening it. I could never get it straightened out either.

You may have great memories of a show in your childhood, but watch it now through your ADULT eyes you would come to realize how much crap you actually watched, I had my reality check when I watch an episode of transformers, it was not how i remembered it, it was crap.

Ain't it the truth? My wife bought me the Transformers season 1 boxset and I tried to watch it, but couldn't even make it past the first disc.

ummm..... okaaay..

lol. Actually he's right, it just seems weird:

50% of 5.55 = 2.775

5.55 + 2.775 = 8.325

EDIT: Doh! I didn't read jenius' post

That really does _not_ look like 1/18 vs 1/12!

Looks about right to me.

For simple math, let's say the Scopedog is roughly 12 feet tall. That's 144 inches.

1/12 scale = 12 inches

1/18 scale = 8 inches

Cant remember but what was Bonecrushers G1 guise ?

He was one of the Constructicons. A bulldozer.

G1 Bonecrusher

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Windows XP SP2; no problems here.

Big thanks to Chowser! Item was packed well and shipped very fast.

I ordered mine through HLJ under a wholesale account. Here's what the yellow tips they are adding to ensure safe arrival to customers. It's basically a rubber plug with a flat head on top - very easy to be removed. IT IS NOT GLUED ON!!!

The tape seal on the box was nicely sliced with a blade, yellow tip addeded, and nicely resealed. Overall, I think HLJ did a good job confirming to U.S standards without impacting the toy. My shipment got opened up by customs. If I didn't have the yellow tips attached, I think the shipment would have been confiscated.

Not bad at all. I certainly was imagining far worse. So, Kevin, did you just buy for yourself or will you be selling any? hint hint

I guess this is a regional thing then, because there is stacks of Wiis sitting on the shelf at my local Circuit City. Or maybe it's just because nobody shops at Circuit City?

While its not technically a Macross toy, the Robotech Masterpiece VF-1S is what sparked the fire for me. Soon after buying that, I bought a couple more of the Masterpiece releases. I later found MW, which turned me on to Yamato. I've been on a depressing downward spiral into valkholism ever since.

I didn't know the game was out yet. Is it any good? I might be interested in trying it out. I gave up WoW some time ago and have kind of been itching for another MMO.

I'm guessing MP Megatron is packaged in robot mode like the others?

Yes he is. But not all MP's have been packaged in robot mode have they? I thought Starscream was packed in jet mode

Looks cool. According to GameSpot, the trailer is actual in-game footage running in real-time. Impressive. I am confused a bit though, this time they have actual real world landmarks, but everything still indicates Liberty City?? Weird.
