Did you guys notice that Alex was the one who handed Kate to Zeke? Alex potentially being the french girl's son? I am kind of upset by the episode. While it was nice to have an encounter that seemed kind of frank with "the others" it seemed too random. They might as well have showed a scene where Jack walked off to pee in a bush and while he was going Zeke walked up beside him and started peeing on the same bush. "You know Jack, would you walk into someone's house and just pee on their shrubbery without even asking?" The "Light 'em up" scene was also kinda strange. How premeditated would that have had to have been? "Okay guys, just in case he thinks I'm alone, all of you grab torches and be ready to light them on my mark."

For the record, I originally asked this question because I remember it as being "F-oh-cker" in both but I was worried my Robotech watching had just obscured my memory (or vice versa). As it is, I'm pretty sure Robotech has Roy being "F-oh-cker" and it is my understanding also that the Dutch pilot's name in English is commonly referred to as "F-oh-cker" as well, even if it is intended to be "F-ah-cker" in his natural language. Simply put, I think outside of Denmark, Roy's last name should be pronounced "F-oh-cker" (as it apparently is in both Robotech and Macross). This could also have a correlation to English speakers being afraid of being misunderstood when saying "f-ah-cker" as alluded to earlier.

I have some genuine doubts that their RT toys are producing much black ink... if any.

notice in the lineart that the alpha in fighter mode has a nose that arches slightly upward... something everyone hates about the Toynami's toy (myself included). There's gotta be something to that... but i don't know what it is.

Oh man, aren't there about a million Chasing Amy quotes that seem appropriate here. "So you're a tracer?"

is it Mil-ee-ah or Milya? If it's Mil-ee-ah I think it makes more sense as Mir-ee-ah but if it's Milya then I think Milya works best. Not that my opinion is worth anything at all

Rick Hunter MPC = $80 - $150 (I did see one sale for $150 so don't yell at me if you think that's too high). The Alphas shouldn't have a trouble with the back landing gears touching the ground, the problem is the front landing gear not touching. The solution isn't in the chest, it's in the legs where the holes that attach to the arms are. If you could dremel the holes forward slightly and fill in the old holes you would solve the arched back and landing gear problems. NOTE - not all Alphas require the fix for landing gears... Most of them can be massaged to stand on just the gears...

Okay, so is it pronouced "Fock" like "Spock" or "Foke" like "spoke" in the name Roy Focker.

Simple rule of life, the cuter something is, the tastier it is. That's why baby animals are so delightful. Baby cows, baby pigs, baby lamb, etc... the younger, the yummier.

I might contact you later about this. I'm going to buy an extra MPC Ben and start taking him apart to see how feasible this project is.

I got one for you, if I gave you an MPC box that I wanted to make into a VF-1D MPC, do you think you could do that? Somehow you'd have to remove the Ben Dixon on the box and replace it with Minmay and change the volume number to 7.

I think he just removed the red from a Hikaru chest plate. He says the custom is made from a Hikaru that was used for a VF-1D and a VF-1A CF.

Oh man, he could rig that thing with Estes rockets and fire 'em off like tomahawk cruise missiles. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!

Since it's a new reissue it'll be everywhere for about the same price. Check the SSL or the blacklist but chances are you can't really go wrong unless you try to buy it from somewhere obscure.

Someone did a modded LV with FPs and transparent covers that looked really good.

was the first movie the one where the creepy engineer takes a swan dive off one of his skyscrapers? Whatever movie that was, I thought it was pretty decent. The movie with a leviathan was not good.

I've heard it's never too late to go back... but I gotta say from your writing here alone I think you could at least skip a couple grades.

His work on the VB-6 is truly legendary.

Where does one go to get heads for 1/55 customs? I'm thinking about customizing an MPC (since you can get the Ben MPCs for like $20, it seems like a good chance to have fun). Unfortunately I think the chunky VF-1D head would look funky.... any suggestions??

Oh schnikeys, don't do it! I blew soooo many thousands of dollars on cars and racing and tuning and I would kill to have all of that money back. The day I had my fire sale was the most liberating day of my life. "Hey, you there, you want a motor?" Then again, if I gave myself this advice 7 years ago I probably would have told myself where to go shove it...

it's separate attachment piece that's replaceable

I have a friend, about 28ish I think, who was lamenting how hard it is to find girls once you were out of college. He's loaded, nice house, nice cars, decent looking guy and can't find a girl to save his life. I have another friend about 28ish. He has nothing going for him at all. He does manage a nice Italian restaurant though. He laments to me that he has so many "immature little girls" trying to sleep with him that it creates too many headaches. I swung by for some free drinks one night and couldn't believe how hot those "immature little girls" were. There's no moral to this story, i just find it funny

Here's my new favorite display

Try living in the SF Bay Area. It takes about a million dollars here to get a house that is in a nice location and can easily support a family of four. Bare minimum is about $600k. In a recent study to determine the worst places in the country to live by wage vs cost of living California had SEVEN of the top ten worst places to live. It's pretty pricey out here. Arizona has really boomed though, I remember considering buying a house out there seven years ago... i so should have done it. EDIT - deleted duplicate "cost of living" and replaced with "wage" so it actuall makes some sense
