  1. The wife is watching a Hong Kong movie, one of those comedy gambler films (like god of gamblers) that were popular in the 90's. Well, anyway, listening to it in the background they seemed to have pinched some tunes from Macross for their soundtrack. Mind you I suppose a lot of HK films borrow various music from here and there.

    Asked here the title of the movie, but she is not sure, will try to find out if I can.

    EDIT: ok, looks like it is God of Gamblers III: Back to Shanghai

    Still, gave me a smile hearing familiar cues. :)

    Checking the Macross Complete CD, I can hear the following tracks: "Yearning", "Launching Ceremony", "Love Drifts Away"

    lol. I wonder if the director or something was a Macross fan?

    Anyone experience any other Macross music in non Macross productions?

    Cheers,

  2. U have some sweet stuff there dude! i wish I was able to get those new GI Joes more easily, there are a few I would have gotten for old time sake.

    I was a bit lucky myself in picking those up. Was on holiday in Canada and did a hunt around. Hard to find what I managed to find in the end. your collection is pretty awsome though with or without joe.

    cheers.

  3. Anyone else trying out Google's Chrome browser? Seems noticeably faster than IE on my system.

    Saw it, downloaded it, tried it, uninstalled it, life carries on.... :rolleyes: To be honest it's a nice start, but happy with Opera which has most of the features and then some. I find amusing that in the press it was described as "having tabs with an address bar below them" like it was some revolution or something. Wait till Apple announce iPod Generation X with Safari Generation Y and Google Chrome will be forgotten about :lol: untill the next release or something.

    Cheers,

  4. So now I'm on the hunt (be vewwy vewwy qwiet) for a new handset that will allow me to use Bluetooth Stero Headsets. I

    Hi,

    Have a look at the Sony Ericsson Walkman range and one of their headsets. Am using a W910i with the HBH-DS980 headset. Works like a charm (though phone is a bit tempermental here and there, what gadget isn't these days).

    Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 Bluetooth Headset

    Another one of note is the HBH-DS220 / DS205.

    Happy phone hunting!

    I wonder if Ranka's bug phone has bluetooth? ;)

  5. Subtitle change from "found killed" (which implies foul play) to "found dead" (which does not).

    Thanks. Typed it in a bit of a hurry. Tried to change it later but couldn't change the title.

    One theory in local papers in the role itself of being the Joker may have influenced something. taking the sleeping pills to sleep etc. There was a quote in the paper from Jack Nicholson saying like "I tried to warn him" (no exact quote just rough off top my head of it said)

  6. Quick question to all who have seen this film. Is the entire film done in shaky handy cam mode or is it only various parts? Sounds interesting to see when it comes out here but am abit worried all the shaking cam stuff will make me a bit queezy. Sae the longer trailer during AVP2 and that was shaky enough lol ;)

  7. Sweet falcon! I have bee looking for one at a reasonable price for a while now. Have you see the new one? It's the biggest Lego set every made!

    Thanks, was a birthday present from the missus couple years ago so have hanged onto it. Yep, have heard of it, looks quite yummy! It's massive though, saw the pictures of it with the designer and you need like a whole coffee table just for it! make an interesting centrepiece!.

  8. Hi,

    Well, after a long time coming, I am in a better position to share my own small collection with everyone. The biggest item in my collection is the Ikea Detolf display cabinet to put these things in! lol.

    Here's what I've got so far which is on display. Haven't organised and put things up much yet. Not much Macross stuff I'm afraid due to a previous downsizing of stuff, actually very little Macross stuff now but hey Yamato is now pumping out lots of good stuff to rebuild with.

    On this shelf, from left to right we have Basara (listen to my song yet again!), 007 Aston Martin, Hikaru 1/48 VF-1J with Minmei sitting at his side!

    The rest are not really Macross but like to share anyway:

    Next we have then Encore Starscream (the old) with Masterpiece Starscream (the new). Well MP Screamer was designed by Kawamori-san so that's kinda Macross related.

    Masterpiece Convoy (original 1st release) with his mini-me self! WST Convoy

  10. My first real Macross toy was a Takatoku Super VF-1S Valkyrie which I got in '89. At the time, I never actually saw the real Macross, instead being introduced to it via Robotech (no stone throwing please ^_^) and thought at the time it was a cool toy. I didn't even realise it was made by Takatoku until discovering these forums and website. Sadly it was sold in a big job lot auction for something like a few bucks CDN. The inhumanity of it, g thanks ma....

    Unfortuneatly though, the front wheel well broke where the plastic held the metal landing gear in place. The force of clicking the button to open the landing gear eventually stressted the plastic housing and it broke. Hmm, I wonder where it is now after all this time, floating out in the world somewhere.

    ahh memories, nothing more than.....

    Cheers,

  11. WOW!!!!!

  13. more than the one you linked. I found one@rcgroups and another at some site linked to there that sells rc jet parts. 

    Ah, interesting, I shall hunt around and check it out. Thanks. ;)

    There is a VF-1 RC but it does not transform. Someone a couple years back linked it
