I got 2 of the Italeri kits. I agree its the best one. The Tamiya one looks out-of-shape.

The testors, Italeri and Tamiya are like all the same kit/mold in a different box As a matter of fact just about all of Tamiya's 1/72 line are repackgaged italeri kits, down to the instructions and decals It's a great thing, except for that unlike Hasegawa Italeri Sucks and makes me have to get my own pilot figures

The X-02 really does remind me of the YF-23. Biggest Give-away for me is the way the X-02 folds down it's vert stabilizers when goin supersonic, just like the Real World YF-23.

Tis a Shame the YF-23 didn't beat out the raptor It's like the loser planes just LOOK cooler. YF-23 looks way better tha the raptor, and even in the latest JSF competition, I was rooting for the unconventional delta-wing X-32 Guppy over the F-35, despite the X-32 performing like doo doo on it's vertical take off tests

Let's hope SK got his crazy out on Kissdum and leaves the non-drugged part of his creative brain juices for a good Macross Story

sET THEm oN fiya!!!!

If you plan on setting them on fire I'll gladly send you some wooden logs with free shipping and a pre-paid postage box to put all your valks in to send back to me

Another shout out to rnurmin for another smooth transaction on a stealth 1j set

Darn you LAFtoys! my savings are threatened!

1/35 MG Labors FTW! Still very poseable and cool..cept for the very limited line of just ingrams and griffon. I wanted to see Ingram Econs, helldivers, etc

I'm witht he "If it doesnt transform, Im not getting it" crowd. Sides i think Revoltechs are to small for what u pay for em. Its why I skipped Rev Labors.

I found the easiest way to get Heatshields redone was to use some good sandpaper, sand the paint off, work up to super fine grits, then super fine toothbrush + toothpaist brushing, then a coat of Future on the bottom, then Color paint of choice, followed by another coat of Future

The process only takes like 1-2 hours depending on how well you can use sandpaper.

Just be careful not to crack the heatshield >:0

If you're looking for investments, invest in a roth IRA or something similiar.

The Value of Toys is so volatile that you cannot base your future on them.

Buy Toys to have fun. Buy toys to play with them.

It's much easier when you say "I paid for half the house, I get to use half the shelf in the living room that you happened to help yourself to".

She got angry, but then she realized I was right and I get to use two top shelves of a four-shelf unit in our living room for "Guy stuff". Thus it's tastefully decorated with Macross Toys

Just Don't Transform it har har har

The conversion would prolly be too intensive.

For both VE-1 and VT-1:

Wings

Heads

Cockpit + Canopy

Chestplate

Then fastpacks....

Legplates

FP Front for the Elint

Completely new backunits for the Ostrich

Mounting unit + extra thruster for back-unit

A way to lock the Back Unit down, with FP's on, Using the Canon mounting position (Vertical Stabiliazers extended), all while maintaining durability and poseability.

Oh..I forgot the whole freaking Radar Suite for the Elint O_o

I guess if you kept the VT-1 Canon and unable to goto Battroid, it'd be possible to worksomething out, but if you made them transform you'll need some way to get that integral heatshield in.

The mere weight of all that resin would prolly turn your VF-1 into a floppy mess over time.

Then add to that, cost :0 the 1D alone was 80, this much more intensive mod would prolly go a lot higher, say, 200-250

Almost all my valks are displayed on my shelf. All with fastpacks are in fighter, non-fp are seen in all 3 modes.

Only 1 valk sits off the shelf. It's an extra 1J hikky for flying around the house

FP's make valks too hard to play with or transform btw

UFO Aftermath and UFO Aftershock are actually pretty fun games.

The Tactical Combat part of the game was a blast and really made both games fun for me.

Only problem? As with X-com, the maps start getting reused eventually and it can get a lil stale.

There's also UFO: Afterlight out as well. It has much, much, MUCH more micro-management than the previous two games and is quite a b@tch to learn and play, but it's also a blast. ONly problem? YOu can't freaking name your own toons >_<

This old-school UFO game is looking good though, I'm gonna try it out for sure

heh GI Joe Sigma 6 figures 10-15 bucks a pop (if you pay retail) and they are pretty fun

Honestly I started to feel the same way about Yamato's Products once I started collecting completely different toys from other companies and was absolutely astounded at how cheap they were. Like literally, for the price of what some local retailers are charging for 1 yammie (150 bucks), you can get half a collection regular toys

Call me anal but I was hoping they'd have lil pilots

lol it looks red in the picture, but it's actually orange lol. Just felt like doing somethign different ;p

I change my mind, i'm a fan of half gerwalk :0

har har this is one project I sooo will not miss :0 better start saving now

What of of Nissan do you drive?

Nothing beats Grey

I played 1, 2, 3 and 4 like crazy.

Best team is the Paris Team, they also have the best looking koubus

As for Part V... it still sits in my cabinet, unopened. Kinda hard to play a Japanese dating game at home when:

1. Your Fiance Lives with you

2. Your Fiance is Japanese

Besides, I could never get over the red-headed cowboy girl with samurai sword thingy.

btw...

Machinegun Sister = best mini game, eva!

Man, Valis 3, I remember that game.

I actually have the JP version of Arcus Oddysey, that game rocked ()

Target Earth was also a romp, we liked how the CF suits were brown, just like in macross The ending cinema with a kagillion brown CF"s downing cruisers was the high point.

Assault Suit Leynos II for Saturn.... WTF it made me want to break my saturn multiple times.

Assault Suit Valken 2 was really fun. Lots of front-mission-esque battles and the suits were pretty cool.

As for Warsong (Langrisser)

Man you missed out on a lot Quite a few titles came after that and they were all pretty good

Same thing happened to Shining FOrce III on Saturn.

1 came out in US, 2 and 3 never made it and it pissed me off so much I imported and couldn't play them fully until 5 years and a Bachelor's in Japanese later lol.

I took a long hiatus from Macross..then all the sudden Hasegawa VF-1's came out and I cleaned out all my 1/72 modern jet fighters for Macross.

Then I wanted something variable and was able to resist 1/48's until one day I was at an Asobit City that was closing and bought 1 stealtha nd lv2 for 1/2 off :0

Ever since that stupid impulse buy I've been hooked >_<

haha

Offloading your Toynami's in Japan doesn't sound like a bad idea
