Beltane70

I really hate to admit this, but Bandai's models these days has made me a lazy model builder. I can't even remember the last time that I actually used glue to build a model. Even worse, I haven't painted one in at least 10 years or so. I still buy traditional glue/paint models, but who knows when I'll get around to them. I still have an old Five Star Stories Mortar Headd resin model that I bought on my first trip to Japan back in 1991 that hasn't even been touched.

That's provided Miyatake was using letter-size paper! Maybe he designed on legal-size!

The worst thing that I've seen about Doug Bendo is the fact that his first name is Doug! It makes me so ashamed to share first names!

I finally broke down and ordered the PG 00.I was lucky and actually found a sight that had it for US $250 with free shipping. If anyone's interested, here's where I ordered it from. AFAIK, the free shipping is only for this month. http://store.model-direct.com/index.php

It's kind of funny how that article critisizes DYRL solely based on the horrible acting in the Clash of the Bionoids dub. I'm also curious, has anyone actually come out and call Doug Bendo illiterate on any of his podcasts?

I'm I in the minority in thinking that Katee Sackhoff is much hotter than Tricia Helfer? Tricia always looked a bit scrawny to me.

You know, I always forget that Amano was the character designer for Gatchaman!

Now if they only made the GN drives have the sound effects, the PG oo Rasier would be truely perfect!

What makes PTH's possible second ban on RT.com is the fact that it's MEMO that's threatening to ban him. Classic!

Even with timezone consideration, Save is still late, since he's supposedly posting from Japan where, by the time he posted, was already halfway through the day.

Don't you know, mind control is real?

Ah, but see, Ranka brought Ozma pineapple cake, not salad. There's your reason for the different outcomes.

Yeah, and in about 2 months, most of us will likely be dead. But what a show it would be!

I almost made a thread for this earlier. In keeping with my ongoing project, I watched the episode yesterday morning before going to work. Would you believe that I almost started to cry right when Misa breaks the news to Hikaru? I've been watching Macross episodes according to the timeline on Macross Compendium.

I just got my four binders this morning.

A better AI for your partner would also be greatly welcomed. Everytime that I've played the last DYRL mission my partner never got out of the line of fire of Bodole-Zer's cannon.

There's two versions of the kit, the initial production version and the regular version. The initial production version has the stand included along with a coupon, I think it is to order clear armor parts. The regular version, which is a bit less expensive comes without the base or the option to buy the clear armor.

From what I've seen in person and have read, the reaction, or lack thereof, is normal for audiences in Japan.

I LOVE the crazed look on Quamzin's face! It really suits his character quite well.

If the binders are listed as books, they're exempt from custom taxes in the US.

Some did, but others still swore that the scene existed.

Gubaba, this reminds me so much of all the people saying that they remember seeing a scene in Macross where they show blood in the cockpit of Roy's Valkyrie even though no scene exists. I think most of them read it in the McKinney novelizations and for some reason, it made them think that they saw the blood in the actual episode.

Even though her legs are skinny, that Sheryl figure still looks pretty awesome. I definitely wouldn't mind having both of those figures!

I just said the hell with it and just ordered 4 binders, despite the $40 shipping cost.

Even my friend in Japan hasn't been able to find the binders. Looks like I'll just have to use generic binders for the rest of the series. The sad thing is, I only have one binder.
