Solscud007

Anyone going? Mechamaniac, Ben2099 and I are going. shout out if there are any East coast MWers going.

$400+ not including shipping if I remember right.

-Kyp

yikes. so who has paid less than 300 w/ shipping besides me?

so what was the final price?

Thanks!

Gotta take some pics in all modes first. Wish Solscud still lived here as his photos are top notch.

Thanks. You could always fly me out for a photoshoot haha.

Wow.

Just... Wow.

you think that is amazing? Here is what the Thunder hammer breaks down to, parts wise. NOTHING is glued together. although it is recommended that you glue some parts together, it is all friction fit from the beginning.

Leg Armor

Shoulder and Arm Armor

Chest Armor

If it isnt too much trouble. I would like to try getting a Weathered Strike Valkyrie, via Chronicle Magazine. If there is a limit in regards to address, I have a friend's address in Shiga-Ken, near Kyoto, that I can have it shipped to. Let me know if you cna help facilitate the magazine and filling out the form for me thanks.

seeing 3 thunder hammers at the con was amazing. love how the kit was professionaly built and assembled. wish those 3 had a group shot.

Nah there is only one TH that is worthy to be shot with the MGTH, and that is Exo's original TH haha.

oddly enough I have the "My Little Pony" exclusive. The all white ones are sold out. but are available on hasbrotoyshop.com

lol! nice.

Yeah great pics VegasValk!!!. Thank you. Im glad im not the only one taking decent pictures of toys. Wait til I get back to Pittsburgh. Weathered 1S and Minmei Guard!!!! haha

I already have one(Currently in the repair bay thanks to a five foot fall BP-8 FTL.) But I wanted to get on more for my cubicle at work and a stand, but going to all of the major sites I know of is seeming fruitless due to back orders or complete discontinuing of the product thanks to the V.2 1/60 Roy, so what should I do when I get paid continue the search for the elusive Rot 1/48 or bite the bullet and buy the 1/60 for much cheaper???

I currently own:

2 1/48 VF-1 Stealth and Roy(damaged bp-

1 1/60 VF-0 Shin(Yea yea yea)

get the 1/60. It wont take up so much cubicle space.

So does anyone know if this is being released again? There's 1 on eBay right now and the price is not high (yet), which I find strange so I thought maybe there's something I'm not aware of? I know there were rumours of this coming out as a general release in September, but as far as I know, it's still a far fetched rumour.

UNSpacy

I doubt this.

The Weathering special comes with a note taped to the inside of the box.

This note is a general thank you for buying the Weathering Special. It then explains that the paint job is all hand applied as well as the decals. So it warns the owners to be careful, lest they scratch the custom paint and decals.

Given that each weathering is had applied, the cost of labor to mass produce this would be ridiculous. I heard rumors of another possible weathering special, The VF-1J

this one makes me feel sick.......like i was zentran on the other side of that..."oh S!!!!"

Hey Rohby what was the hardest part of this custom..any problems with the material used accepting/retaining paint.

is it all decals???.??

Rohby lurks a bit. I met up with him friday before MWCon. This thing was still in pieces. he had just gotten two light mists on the valk body. the armor was painted though.

So no it isnt just all decals. The valk and armor were spray painted.

Boo YEAH!!! FRONT SPLASH PAGE!!!!!!!

My pic of the MGTH is on the front page. I feel special

You f*in kill me man!!!

Just to let all you folks out there know.....if you have never met >EXO<..........you're missing out........this guy is a million and a half laughs............

and that's just from lookin at him

JUST PLAYIN BROTHER.....please don't hurt me

You guys need to meet Misterryno. he is a laugh. his exuberant character and zaniness is just a sight to behold. I look forward to seeing you again, Misterryno, at the next MWCON. jsut keep grimlock in Denver haha.

Solscud007 - It's been a big task to take over the con after you've been hosting it for so long, but with your help, its gotten bigger and better each year. The amazing MW Con T-Shirt were designed and made by Nick. He has amazing photography skills and makes everything look good... (except pictures of Bobe-Patt..haha... ) Nick probably ranks up there with the geekiest Macross nerds there are... plus he has an uncanny ability to find the best deals and is the biggest opportunist EVER!! haha... bastid... thanks for falling asleep everywhere and helping out with the con.

I shall call my "uncanny ability to find deals" my mutant factor mwahahahaha. And apparently my Mutant factor requires extreme and constant recharging (hence me shutting down and sleeping haha) The opportunist is just my chinese heritage of bootlegging shining thru.

Also credit goes to someone else for drawing the SD Thunderhammer. I just got the image and slapped it on a shirt with a little touch of my own ideas thrown in.

Hello everyone !!

i come frome to taiwan!!

Nice to meet you.

my english so poor need to stud,and someone can talk to Chinese.

may i use Chinese word?(i think no one can reade ><")

sorry! ><"

sorry guys i have a question.

someone please tell me. thanks(if you know my poor english.sorry again)

1.May i buy for EXO designer "Thunder Hammer" 1/48 parts?

2.How purchases

i will try to buy this

beause so perfect for "Thunder Hammer" model

Thanks

no, there are NO more Thunderhammer. They are all sold out.

Tommy probably didn't show up because he knew the ex-Robotech fans were going to be there. Sorry to scare him off like that for those of you who can't get enough of him. BTW, great con this year, and glad to finally meet the other Dinobot Misterryno. Thanks for letting our band play at the con. It was fun, and although I have a long 7 day work week to pay for it, it's things like this that show that Macross fans are the absolute best. Deculture to all of you.

yeah i great times. Misterryno sort of weirded me out a bit when he started talking to his Grimlock toy!!! hahaha funny guy.

As good as Solscud's photography skills are, the mis-transformation is on par with Hasbro publicity shots. Poor Koenig.

Very nice painting skills, though. I'm one of the few people that think the Koenig is a very nice and unique toy so I would really like to see a new SMS incarnation of it, even if it's just a new stickered up version.

Shame it STILL hasn't transformed into Battroid in the cartoon yet.

haha dont blame me. I didnt transform it. Exo did. and in this case I can literally BLAME EXO!!!! haha

THAT WAS AWESOME!!! The vid just is not as good as seeing it in person! Tell her she was WONDERFUL!

allright settle down now. settle down. haha j/k

..........

actually. major tom got a little confused. Yes it will be the 9th MWcon. But it will be the ten year anniversary for Macross World itself. according to the main page, it all started Dec 1st '99

solscud, you got an awesome cam! some day ill have a dslr kinda like yours

just like to add mine too

get one it is worth it. If you shop around you can get a good deal. my camera was on clearance for $300. And that is for Body and Lens.

If you are seriously interested go get the Nikon D40X kit from Costco. Last week I saw it for only $600. it is like my camera but instead of 6mp it is 10mp plus it comes with two lenses which are both "vr" (vibration reducing) that kit normally goes for $800+

more pics

So I noticed that the main site doesnt have any good pics of the Super Stealth. So I took pics of mine.

Well everyone is posting their custom entries. My girlfriend made this with a combination of knitting and crochet.

It is Sailor Minmei from the Paris Act Minmei Guard.

Aw man seeing the pics and the video was awesome! I can not wait until next year's con! I have started a savings account to take care of the expenses! Lord willing and the creeks don't rise I will see you guys next year! Might even make it a road trip if gas prices aren't too bad and scoop some of you guys up on the way if you're west of Arkansas; flying back though!

OO

I dont know if that is a good idea. granted you will share the gas price. but when I drove from LA to Pittsburgh, it took about 350 dollars of gas. this was in Aug 06. I was using an Integra that got 30 mpg if I babied it.
