  1. Update: I will definitely be in Japan this September. I plan to do a couple of days in Kyoto, so making a side trip to Osaka to see the exhibit shouldn't be a problem!
  2. I'm hoping to be in Japan in September and will definitely have to check it out if I do go!
  3. I wish that I could have seen this in person. The only Avro Vulcan that I've seen was the one on display at the Royal Air Force Museum.
  4. frothymug got it with DuelGundam. He's still up to his usual schtick and has been called out on it.
  5. So, I ran into this little gem of a quote while reading the thread, "What are you watching right now?" on Anime News Network: "I don't bother with metaphors since they are useless" Anyone want to guess what former member this is?
  6. I don't think that I've ever chosen any particular side when it came to console wars. I owned both a SNES, and a Sega Genesis, with the Genesis being first, followed by the SNES about a year later. Hell, I even owned a PCEngine DUO!
  7. With 100+ episodes, it looks like Legend of the Galactic Heroes is out of the question, huh?
  8. I remember a guy that I know saying that he didn't want to have to think while driving as an excuse not to learn how to drive stick. I just told him that he was an idiot, since, that once you learn, you don't actually have to think about what gear you need to be in.
  9. I haven't owned a car with an automatic transmission in over 20 years! The last time that I drove an automatic car (2009 when I rented a Dodge Magnum during a vacation), it felt so damn sluggish! Sorry, Duke, I hate that we're all making you feel lonely with our ability to drive cars with manual transmissions!
  10. You mean like the MiGs they fight at the end of Top Gun?
  11. No, I think that just means volume 6 gets you everything that's been put up on ComicWalker for Macross the First, which I believe started somewhere in the middle of what would be the fifth volume.
  12. It has been a few years, so I think I should probably rewatch Heroic Age.
  13. Gunpla is pretty much everywhere you go in Japan. The toy section in the department store in Onojo City, Fukuoka, had a pretty impressive collection of Gundam kits. I think they were also priced below what it says on the box.
  14. Actually, you see the Tomahawk firing both ways in DYRL. The first one we see is shown firing the two single shots from each arm. There's a second Tomahawk shown a few minutes later, firing the arm guns in rapid succession.
  15. I'm still betting that if the live action Robotech movie actually does get made, the general public will probably think that it's just a Transformers rip-off.
  16. Funny that today I should find myself browsing through the book that contained the illustration that this figure is based on.
  17. Speaking of MZ 23, I picked up a cel from Part II last weekend.
  18. I bought every issue of Macross Ace! Well, almost all of them. The friend that was getting them for me wasn't able to get the last issue. That's the only one I'm missing.
  19. The VF-1S with the strike pack will always hold a special place in my heart!
  20. As my favorite character in Star Trek, I'm really sad to hear that Leonard Nimoy has left us.
