Not I; selling a 'Low Vis in my opinion would be foolish. I was lucky to find the one that I have, and I'm not going to take the risk of losing it just to buy.....whatever. I will bet on (insert Macross World member with big valkyrie collection)'s collection that Yamato will not reissue anything from their Macross line. -That '48 CF has to make you wonder though.... Huh? They's reissued the Roy 1/48 2 times, the Hilkaru VF-1A got a reissue, and just last week or so they reissued the VF-11b Fastpack, the Ostrich and the Elint. So the Macross line has been reissued plenty.

Eric left for Africa. The show is still going on next year. Topher Grace as a villian.... uh ya...Who will he be? The Nancy Boy or Dumbass. Wow, I thought sure Ass-ton Kutcher would be the first to bail on that show.

There is also a very rare Red Joons with a Vf-1A head. VF-1X.com used to have a picture of it on his bootleg archive.

It really is being reissued. Big Bad toy Store has it for pre-order too.

If anyone has a pG Gundam and PG Mark II Titans they have built and tired of, pm me. Thx

Lou Reed voiced Mok and I believe Cheap Trick sang Omar's songs. There was one called "Ohm Sweet Ohm" that I believe you just hear a snippet of the end of it in the movie. I've always wanted to hear that whole song.

Christopher Lambert plays Connor McCloud in every movie he's in, whether it's a Highlander gig or not. Just like Michael Douglas, Vince Vaughn, and Stifler from American Pie always play the same character in any movie they 'act' in.

Looks good!

I'm not a Robotech crusader nor do I believe it was superior to the original material. But the fact that it spread awareness of the existance of the originals around the globe is undeniable. No way they would enjoy the fan base in countries outside Japan without that. Majority of current fans would not have known about Macross without it, a lot of toys would not have been exported or made, and so forth.

So I watched the F91 movie. It was kind of meh but I have some questions: 1) Was F91 only a movie or was the movie cut from an OVA series? Seemed rushed and choppy. 2) They never address why the mobile suits have dramatically decreased in size 3) They act like the original Gundam suit is a distant memory. " Hey the face of this robot looks like that old one, what wa sit called? Gundam or something?" I thought the RX-78-2 was mass produced and became common in UC continuity 4) There were many F-9x Gundam variant models released. F-90, F-91, Sihlouette Formula, etc. None of that appeared in the show

Saw on the news that some bit torrent site that had Episode III for download got shutdown hard today by the feds. They should have known that putting it up would get them some unwanted attention from the authorities. I'd say it will accelerate the demise of torrent sites.

Judging from your model stack, you must be a Nissan Z car fan. I am too as I have a 300zx twinturbo and a G35 6MT.

BBTS confirmed in their newsletter they are getting more in at 64.99. So all those poor bastards on eBay can really cry now.

Please tell the sculptor the DYRL helmets are way bigger than the TV style. Like Mechamaniac says, it should cover down to the neck, and the visor should be a couple times bigger. Good on you for taking on this task though, VF1James.

I thought a few were still in service? And doesn't NASA have one it uses?

Just saw a new promo where Yoda says "We must destroy the Sith!" When did it become unacceptible to say "kill" in movies? They always say destroy or someting like that instead. PC gone wild.

What's up with the high price on these? The Vf-1J's that included fastpacks were only like $10 more. Is BBTS trying to jack us?

**Updated pictures in first post**

Sorry about the picture, I will resize it and add more. This is a real Blackbird, it has the rear seat and all that. It's at the Airforce Aviation Museum at Robbins AFB south of Atlanta. It's still leaking fuel from the rear belly from where the panels are not completely sealed to allow heat expansion during flight. I have a shot of the instrument panel too. There are several missing components which I assume were the secret bits. I was told the guy who was shot down over Russia in the U2 had flown this 71 at some point.

Had a relative who works at an Airforce museum get special permission to open the 400lb canopy and let me climb in. Pretty cool but cramped. Each of the rear tires on the landing gear are $8k to replace. They jacked up the plane and filled them with foam to keep them from deflating. The engines have been removed as well. Out by the front of the plane they had the starter cart that was used to crank the engines, it had two 400-something ci Buick engines in it. Also got a pic of a U2 that was on display.

Well, they're resissuing the VF-11 with Fast Packs, right? Probably noticed the crazy spike in ebay prices on them. And they reissued the VF-1S 1/48 Roy the third time when the previous issues did the same. So I wouldn't be surprised.

I was hoping for Sentinels. Damn.

At my local KB, in addition to the Seed releases mentioned by others, they had the GP-02 and GP-01FB on the newer designed cards. So I think some of the last round of the wave that included the Full Armor Gundam may be leaking out as well.

I think Grievous walks like a turkey or an ostrich.

Why go through all that and not make the helmet removeable? Couldn't afford Peter Weller?
