  1. these are not exclusive to Affees military base stores. These were sold at wal marts a few years back. But only some wal marts had them. Though it is possible that they may be exclusive to Affees now.

    Yeah, I just bought one at the local PX for about 9 bucks.

    It's pretty good for a bootleg.

    Thank goodness I'm army. :p

  2. I was considering customizing a galaxy defender 1/55 valkyrie.

    And I am a first time customizer since I have never custom did a valkyrie before, bootleg or otherwise.

    are there any parts compatable?

    Any way to replace said part incase if it was compatible?

    What type of paint should I use.

    I plan on going for a decepticon theme or a camoflage military look.

    If all else fales, are there anyone out there that can custom for me?

  3. It's been years(2003-04?) since I seriously posted here.

    I remember when I first appeared in early 2002 when there was a huge debate on rather HG had rights over Macross or not. Me, being bored and somewhat bias, I joined that bandwagon.

    WHat really drew me was when I first looked at all the fanmade VFs and other cool mechs. Hell, I even tried to get my own creative juices flowing from my first draft of my story, ALpha Zone. THough it may have been partially inspired by Macross, it was totally original....and I had to do another rewrite.

    I even made some pretty goofy topics surounding bad movies like the live action Street Fighter...

    One of my favorite moments were the showing of chunky Misa.

    My $1 million question is if there is anyone who is from the old forums.

  4. That was the original plan until the producers changed it. Check this link:killduke

    If you loved "Superman is a D**k, you'll love this:dukedeathlongoverdue!

    I honestly think it would've went through pretty badly not just with the media, but with the lack of sales.

    But IMO, I think it would've given a chance for other characters like Hawk, Flint, or even Falcom and SGT. Slaughter.

  5. Maybe I'm getting the totally unlicensed and original Tecmo Bowl mixed up with the licensed Sequel, Tecmo Super Bowl.

    ...

    Wait a second... just looked it up. NES Tecmo Bowl had real players, but not real teams. And Super Bowl had both(it apparently takes a license from the NFL to use teams, and a license from the NFL Player's Association to use players). Hence the confusion.

    Adn the original arcade Tecmo Bowl game used neither.

    Well Tecmo Bowl did have real players, but it had original teams which were based from the real ones.

  6. I think all the football video game players should be mad at the NFL and not EA. Let's face it, if EA had not finegaled this deal someone else might have then you'd all be bashing X Game maker company. The NFL, much like MLB and NBA and NHL, have been gouging their fans in increasing levels for years. Remember back when you could go to a pro sporting event without dropping $50? And that is for the cheap seats. This is just the expected turn of events based on the current douche-baggery of professional sports. It's all about the money and the game comes second and the fans a distant third. What happens when they sign that new pro player in most sports? They raise the ticket price on you so the team keeps making the same amount of money... if not more. Need a new ballpark? Screw the fans and the city the team is in... if that doesn't work just move the team to some hard up for sports city that will whore itself out for you.

    With any luck this will hurt the NFL more than it hurts EA... perhaps arena football will return, maybee even the XFL... something to just attempt to wrestle the monopoly away from the darn NFL. Major league sports have ruined themselves and everyone just keeps buying into it. Blame EA for taking the initiative but Blame Paul Tagliabue for this crap, not Lawrence F. Probst III.

    Point taken.

  7. Now I got a good reason to dislike EA.

    I haven't played madden since 98' and now I find out these asses are trying to be the only one in the game. That's not fun.

    I'm with the one who suggested we boycot EA.

    This is as bad as the WWE being the only main draw to Wrestling.

  8. This is a thread where we could talk having new things happen as opposing to the usual stuff.

    Like for instance...

    The Trix Rabbit.

    How come those damn kids atleast give him the cereal? I know that quote "Trix are for Kids". But why not have more commercials where he eats the stuff.

    The rabbit haven't had his since 1991, when he won the bike race.

    IT SHOULD HAPPEN MORE OFTEN!!

  9. Since I was about 5 or maybe 6 years old, I heard of an Urban legend of a Curse that have plagie the actors/crew members from Poltergeist.

    I did at that time heard of the sudden death of the girl who played the role of Carol Ann(the kid in the TV). But I didn't realise that there were other weird things happening through out the shoot of those three movies.

    Earlier today, I watched an episode of "E! True Hollywood" special that talked about the Curse of Poltergeist. Man, who knew there was so many weird things going on.

    What really got me was the fact that they used real corpes' in the movie. And that the spirits from those movies had haunted the set. Why on earth would anyone use actual dead people for the movies? They could've used fake props....

  10. Remember the bastardised TV adaptions of the DOn Bluth animated Arcade games?

    Man, did those suck....

    I also forgot to mention Video Kid, but for the fact of the matter is I actually forgot about that show.

    I will admit that both He-man and She-ra were bad shows. But they were like so many others(Voltron, Thundercats, etc.) were fondly remembered in my childhood. Heel, He-man could be so unintentionally funny at times.

    I'm shocked no-one mentioned that awful mighty ducks cartoon.

  11. I don't know if this has been posted here before, but there's a pair of Nike Dunk SBs that are coming out in a familiar color scheme (check out the tongue tag):

    IMG_0444.jpg

    Shimzu.jpg

    They're not official Macross Dunks (like the Nike/Bandai Gundam Amuro Nike Shox VC2 and Char Air Max Uptempo), but they're definitely 'inspired' =)

    I'll be in search for a pair when they come out...

    SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WHERE COULD I SCORE SOME OF THOSE???!!!!

  12. I disagree with most of the nominations!!! You guys are mentioning most of the 80's and early 90's cartoons!!!

    So. Just because it's from the 80's or early 90's doesn't mean it was gold. Granted some members here ripping on them have only seen them on Cartoon Network etc. I was a kid in the 80's and saw most of the cartoons listed here when they first aired. I hated the Transformers and GI Joe cartoons back then and I still do today. I did like the toys though but I don't care for them anymore. And anyone who liked Inspector Gadget...well ....nevermind. ;)

    I agree as well.

    I was a small child of the 80s as well, and yes I didn't like most of those shows mainly because of cheesy theme music and me growing up realising what I watched was dirt.

    As for He-man's animation being stiff.

    Yes, it was really stiff, but there was some good and bad qualities to it.

    They used Actual people to pose as character models for the animation. The problem was, that they "over used" the models over and over again. I could see Prince Adam inside of Skelletor and vice versa.
