In the US Toys R Us was truly the world's greatest Toy Store in the 80's and early 90's. You walk in and see a mountain of toys. You need a map, light and a canteen to navigate through every section just to get to the section that you wanted (boys action figures of course). Then they started remodeling them to be more open looking, old stuff stayed at high prices and nothing new really came in. The baby section were always great and now when I go into a Toys R Us I see that 80% of it is a baby section.

Okay I'm confused. I always heard that Vader fell in to Lava but think about it. Lava! Ever watch those science shows on the stuff? You fall in you're dead. And Palps. He looks fine day day leaving the senate. When he comes back the next day looking like chalk colored crap and no one cares?

I believe there was a 1980's D&D as well but it was a teen thriller flick. I remember that I think it was called the Dungeon Master starting Richard Mull aka Bull from Night Court. Came out 1984 (maybe) had to drive to one little theather some where in LA to see it.

Try viewing the site on a something like IE. If you're viewing it directly on AOL it might do things like that.

No cracks on mine but I do have a couple of errors were things just freeze. One on episode 1 or 2 and on 9.

You made it. Barely. Congratulations! You scored 51! Whether it was the fact that you could run faster, or were just plain lucky, you made it out alive. Even you aren't sure why. But you're sure as hell not going back, or risking your ass for anyone else from now on. Man I sucked!

Don't worry if she doesn't want to sing I'll do all the singing. "Kyun! Kyun!" I am totally up for this but not all of us live in the LA area anymore. We'll need a date written in stone and a few months to prepare.

What are we talking about again?

See the DYRL Story Board Book.

Correction: For those who think that the african american figure with the machinge gun and breathe right nose strip is Road Block you are mistaken. That figure is Heavy Duty (or Doody). A minor character from 1991 which Hasbro in recent years has been trying to push.

Beside Macross I collect G.I.JOE (mainly from 1982 to 1984). Hasbro has been making these new 3 and 3/4 sculpt figures for the last few years. I didn't care for them that much but they did have a following. Hasbro has recently announced that they are putting the 3 and 3/4 and 12 inches aside for G.I.JOE Stigma, 8 inch figures with cloth pants that will retail for $14.99.

From what I've seen (and all seen the same things mentioned on these forums) they're working on a online inventory for Seichi, loading magazines scans and the model section. I've seen no mention of a skin. I assume that it's low on the list of things to do.

I thought about doing this myself. I'll only do it if it's through the JET program. I think they pay the most and give the best deal. You might be able get a good deal with a private organization but they may pay you lower than others and most importantly private organizations don't pay your air fare over there. Even with them assisting in moving over your still going to need a nice chunk of money to get yourself settled in. Paying your own airfare may hinder how much you can have in that chunk.

I'm sorry did someone say something? I didn't hear you with Max talking so loud with Agent One and I here in the bath house.

Connection? They both use mythology for names and they're not the only ones that has done it.

This is the second time that I recall closing a "Joke" post by 1st Border Red Devil. I said in the last topic, "This isn't the place to post, check out this (stupid, Joke, crap, whether) that I've found". I've closed topics like this when I've found them. I'm starting now to remember names of repeat offenders. There will be at least a week to a one month banning if this person is caught doing it again.

This ain't offical. Please hold me.

I thought we banned such talk? Yeah didn't we? Where was I on page one? Sick, throwing up all over. Close it then.

I haven't had the International Channel in a while but when I did have it I was addicted to this show of pop music from other countries, Japan, Korea, Chinese and India. Can't remember the name of the India show but it was like their version of Entertainment Tonight and featured music video clips from the movies. They are pretty entertaining. I haven't went and saw a Bollywood film yet but I would give them a try. They look like fun.

Why doesn't some body just create one of those quizes on this subject?

Here's what I got:

I was watching this movie last night called Shubun 1950 (english title Scandal) by Kurosawa Akira and I notice a few familar themes in it that reminded me of Macross. Mifune Toshiro plays an artist named Aoye Ichiro. The film starts with him up in the mountains painting one. There are three old men watching him and commenting on his painting. One of the asks something like, "Why are you painting like that?" To which Aoye answers, "I paint how I feel". Another old man tells him, "Your using to much red. That mountain is not red." Aoye says back, "To me the mountain is red." In the same scene Aoye says the mountains are moving. This character artistic spirt reminded me of Basara. Plus he's painting infront of mountains talking them moving. Basara sang infront of mountain trying to make it move. Basara's feeling drove his singing and actions. It doesn't end there. You start hearing singing. Another character enters named Saijo Miyako and she's singing. Yes Aoye is painting a mountain, talking about it moving and some one shows up singing. Anyways the character of Saijo is popular singer in the movie. Aoye offers her a ride and a tabloids end up taking a picture of them and create a story suggesting that they are having an fair. It's just like DYRL? with the reporters taking pictures of Hikaru and Minmay then having it covered in the tabloid news. That's pretty much where the connections end but I thought there was enough to share.

Pre-ordering mine right now.

Back by popular demand. Please make you all follow the rules this time. Macross 7 Love or Hate it? Way too much Macross 7 bashing. This is topic is one that I wanted to start for a while. I want to hear intelligent reasons as to why it is bad or why it's good. RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING 1. You must give a well thought out reason why. Short answers like because it's got cool Valks, gay, lame, Mylene's hot, sucks or cause Basara is in it doesn't count. 2. Don't agrue over someone else's reason. This for you to post your own rational thoughts. 3. You're allowed one chance to post and that's to say whether you love or hate it and why. 4. Violations of the above can result in a Macross World Free Weekend for the Offender.

Just look at some old Macross books. Of course those pics are 20 some years old.
