  1. Last night's episode was the first episode of the series I watched. I don't get it.
  2. I transformed it to fighter mode after starting this post. Holds together much better, looks better but takes up more space. In my opinion the Mass Production Type VF-1A is worth it.
  3. A Topic like this is just asking for trolls to bash toys. Please try to keep it under control I started to rearrange my display cabinets. Some of the stuff I barely touch or play with that much. My newest Toys take center stage. Older or just the biggest ones get pushed to the back. During this time I get to handle them again and look at them up close. Unless it breaks right out of the box I rarely have buyer's remorse over pricey toys. These kind of purchases are thought out. Even if I start having doubts on the first day I push those doubts back. If I paid about $100 and there if nothing seriously wrong with the toy I'm gonna make myself love it. No going back now. Maybe after a while it will grow on me. Thought Yamato's VF-1 1/60 V1 were kinda cool at the time. Only got 2 of them. Was really disappointed by the battroid mode. Keep them in Fighter only. Got the 1/48 and really liked them but their size made shipping too pricey for me to collect them all. Saw no reason to get the V2 of the 1/60 VF-1. Starting seeing they were the current focus of Yamato and collectors here. Looked at my V1 VF-1s and thought they do look pathetic in every mode but fighter. I got my large ones. Lets get rid of these V1 and buy just one of these V2. I've since bought several. I am very much aware that some are disappointed with Yamato for the V2. I have had none one those problems yet. All I know is that they still look nice in the cabinets and they are still in good shape after my seasonal play time with them. I know some are hopeful for the new Bandai 1/100 line. I doubt that even they can meet all of our expectations. Time to get to my current years after I purchased them Buyer's Remorse. I'm looking at you Mister YF-19 1/60. Was this the first of Yamato's second attempts? I'm mostly a Macross TV & DYRL fan. The Macross Plus mecha designs are really cool looking high tech Valks but nothing beats the VF-1. I like the VF-11 only because it looks like a upgraded VF-1A with a bayonet. The YF-19 is goofy looking but it great to see it animated. I think I transformed it about 5 times in the first month of owning it and maybe just few times since them. I was handling it again. Besides looking more Toy like in appearance compared to my other Valks the thing is a floppy mess. If I pretend it is taking off flying in battroid mode it is pretty loud on its own without me making sound effects. I don't even have to lift it upside down to have part sliding to undesirable position. When I do turn it upside down it starts transforming on its own. Unlike my current VF-1 1/60 V2 I think I will welcome a new replacement for the YF-19. I'm gonna have to see if I can tighten the joints on ragity Ann-Valyrie.
  4. Am I suppose to have knowledge of boats? This is Macross World there hasn't been a VF-Diggy yet.

    VF-1A Max TV

    My Max TV is my least favorite of my VF-1 Valks. Don't know why. Maybe the blue is a little too dark.
  6. Cool we're offline. Any one's head exploding yet?
  7. Unless there it is some special circumstance involved we don't change member names as general policy. A couple of reason for this. For example: Members gain a rep (good or bad) to their names. We don't want everyone to escape their problems or cause new ones. Another really big one is if it gets out we are changing names for anyone who just feels like using a new handle and there will be more requests for it. As volunteers we rather be reading topic and moderating them as needed instead of taking care of the minor requests from members.
  8. I first discovered DYRL? through one of the film books. It was the same year Robotech the Movie was suppose to come out. Thought for that year the two were connected. A year later rented a copy of Clash of the Bionoids from 7-11. Changed my life. You think I'd be a life time customer after that. Haven't walked a 7-11 in 7 years.
  9. Is that from Clash when the Meltrandi invade britai's ship? Been a while since I watched it on VHS. I need to get it on dvd.
  10. It is rather impressive but I just starting buying the 1/60 about a year ago. I picked up 5 VF-1 so far and have 1 on pre-order. Maybe down the road I will pick up one but not going to collect them all. For a new toy line to win me over they gotta do something incredible. Like having an awesome villian mecha to go along with awesome hero mecha. How many scales do I need the VF-1 in.
  11. Correction the English dub of DYRL? or Clash of the Bionoids is the best.
  12. Thats because they had a few native English speaker among the DYRL? cast.
  13. I think my post vanished from earlier. Quick Summary: Did they change the Angels? In their first appearance they didn't kill. They sent people to different times. Second they had to cover their faces because they couldn't look at eachother. In the newest episodes they killed and I'm pretty sure they were in view of eachother.
  14. Downloading Anime just makes good sense for the outside of Japan Anime consumer. If you can't watch it on TV is it worth buying episode after episode? Pretend we are talking about Macross 7 getting a US Release. Some like it and some hate it. Those that like it say it gets good after episode 15 (or about there). Do you really want to keep buying until a show is suppose to get good. Only to find out it completely sucks? Anime can be a huge investment.
  15. Wait do you mean he got them already? Got my request in months ago.
  16. Forget what I said. I'm ordering one. I got enough points saved on Hobby Search that it make it a really good price for me.
  17. Plus they used an old picture of Rick & Lisa instead of their more newer art.
  18. There's a good chance. Look at the Producers. First it was a funny movie. Then later a play and then a bad movie based on the play. I think Young Frankenstein has been made into a play. Next thing would be a movie based on the play.
  19. This is nice. If you go to South Park's site the Full Episode Viewer doesn't work and neither does their forums.
  20. Finally saw it all on several crappy videos on youtube. Excellent episode. Really bad editing.
  21. I can't even watch the episode. No cable. It seems Comedy Central added extra edits and won't allow South Park's official site to air the episode.
  22. In the fall. What about having it around the same time as the Robotech 25th event? I was asked if I was gonna attend that thing. Would be interest to attend both a Macross and Robotech thing in the same week.
  23. Damn.
  24. Okay trying to make some screen grabs from my blu-rays. Seems I can't. Tried to adjust the Hardware Acceleration. Seems I can't do that with Windows 7.
