somebody should say somehing in the wanted section. All my old boxes do is hold spare parts and unfinished kits as it is. IF they would be a welcome addition to somebody elses collection I'd happily let them go. Wait... let me refrase that... I'd be happy to trade empty model boxes for empty toy boxes . Heck, for the right toy box I'd send a model boxes with the kits inside LOL.

anything besides a gunpod? I've seen a few 1/55 pics so far... let me think. My beers' GBP held a trident for over two years on display. one held the manga spawn kangi sword for a while. another held two swords [with mods] and later held a shield and viking sword my 1/100's have had various gundam bits strapped to them star wars bits gi joe bits and even more extreme, granted an older picture as tis' almost finished now

As if collecting wasn't compulsive enough? I haven't touched most of my toys for quite a while. I do however immensely enjoy rearanging friends display shelves when ever they pass out while entertaining me. I try to guess how long it will take them to notice what I did. Simple things like kermit the frog sitting in professor-x's lap, nightcrawler's face in sombody's groin, legos in strange places, etc. "why is my valk riding a my little pony!!" 9 months into my first home coming from a 1 bedroom apt and I still have most of my stuff in tupperware bins stacked to the ceiling in the dining room. As for rearanging them... most were covered in layers of dust when I packed them, and I didn't dust as I packed. I will have a room all to myself though, and it will be crammed full of all my cool things on display, but I have to much crap and the room is already stacked to the ceiling with crap I still need to unpack. one day....

thats just plain wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Granted... I may have experimented using el cheapoes for parts swaps but i'd shure as heck never try and sell the monstrosity. Heck, I feel guilty selling takatoku refurbs that are 90% joon's as it is J/K Besides... would anybody believe me refering to one of my babies as "original condition"? Need to show a newer pic though. New home and such keeping me busy. such is life. Need any more pointies chowser?

from what I gathered about this travesty is that there are actually a few versions, some far easier to customize than otheres. I tried to make one transform but rqapidy lost interest when my ceaper exosquad one didn't match the directions I auired from a one-eyed leabonese arms dealer. Apparently the oringinal was supposed to transform but the standard HG vs Bandai vs whoeverelse got in the way so they had to substitute certain pieces with non-transforming equivilents just enough to satisfy whoever makes such decisions. Thats why if you look at it you wonder why there are shoulder hinge bars when there is no way to utilize them. I took picks of my attempts before I fragged the whole thing in frustration but as my computers are still in a box somewhere around here they aren't getting uploaded anytime soon. regardless, with either version the back plate is going to suck ass any a dremmel is highly recommended. TO cheap for a dremmel?!?!? get a job you hippie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Else get a "fret saw" and do it the slow ass way. Either way p[ost pics so others can learn from your mistake. Anybody want step by step pics of how to make and original AT AT into a pipe bomb... wait... I already got yelled at once for things that go boom so forget I mentioned it

I would recommend going to buy the system yourself physically. 1 Xbox w/2 games - $150.00 Halo 2 - $50.00 Limited Edition - $60.00 Logitech Wireless Controller - $50.00 To fuel up on Gas after all that driving - $25.00 I am going to go to Walmart and just get the regular Xbox. Just bought A Skin off ebay to put on it. but the halo edition translucent green is just sooo much cooler. Big O' [for those who have heard me mention the slack ass hippie/techno geeks moniker before] has the halo edition x-box an I think it's pretty. If your goug to have to get two x-boxs [one to mod and one for x-box live,] they should be different in appearence for quick recognition. And yes... you want two. Halo online, much less halo 2 online, is so worth the x-box live subscription, not to mention mecwarrior and all the other fun games where you can talk much smack Cause once you mod it you either have to have indipendent systems or swap HD's to enjoy Dead or ALive Extreme beach vollyball with the nude patch [kinda overhyped but still the best animated screen saver/eye candy I have ever seen] as well as all the old skool emu's running off your box plus any MAME you might have lying around. Modded x-box also makes a real cheap server FYI damnit..... I got off topic as the digression was one of interest BUT... WTF does x-box pricing and availibility have to do with great absurdity??? When I started this it was for bad translations, extreme pricing, plain stupidity, and the occasional nut trying to sell a date with his dead grandma!!! you know I was 8 " away from touching elvis?!?!? Damn shovel broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how sad... 5 minutes to visit MW every othr month and I tell bad jokes. I still have valks to unpack, why am I wasting time here. I swear I should just go ahead and hit the pweor butto...

Wonder if anybody is that stupid

yeah, I was just looking at that. Sucks to see a nice set like that without the actual armor in it. How do you report fraudulent items like that? I don't think that's entirely warranted in this case. What the seller should have done is mention the red fast packs are not part of the original toy. I look at it as 'what you see is what you get'. Those fast packs are interesting and I do not believe they are bootlegs. I've actually seen this before a long time ago. The seller stated that he bought the toy brand new and when he opened it, it had the red fastpacks. So I guess some accidently came with jetfire fastpacks. from what I've heard.. rhumors and second party talk, the elintseeker got shipped to the us in three batches back in the day. Partway through batch number 3 they started to come with super armor rather than seeker armor. I'm not sure if it was due to damaged seeker armor molds, excess of seeker boxes, or what. All I know is that this is not the first time I've seen this come up on ebay. It's also possible that some toy shop ownwer/comic convention guy simply swapped out a few dozen sets back in the 80's and an urban legend was born. same applies to the red, white, and blue joon's affectionately called the "patriot". It's sooooo hidious and was the last joon's to be made it's speculated that joon's came up with the concept after staring at all the bits they had left over from making the other valks

you HAD to make us come out and say it. we don't like you. hehe jk. even my inane topics last longer than that... nya nya nya ps mods... next bribe is on the way

still have yet to see anything even remotely like them at any of the walmarts in FL... I feel deprived

I never had a bad transaction with arafat myself. He paid me promptly for the super o' resin pieces as well as the resin seeker head I no longer needed. He did however do some exceptionally shady things when dealing with my two favorite rob's [beers and monkey] and as such I stopped dealing with him. You know how you get a [vibe]?

before this ends up in another 4 page debate on why something sucks and why it doesn't and who is an idiot because of whatever I ask that people respond to my two questions... 1. Which valks [and mecha] are macrossII specific? By this I mean which valkyries and mecha appeared either only in, or for the first time in, macrossII? 2. Is the giant floaty head a reference to the giant floating SDF-1 head in macrossII or is it a reference to some other giant floaty head I am unaware of?

Yes, you are a newbie.. 30+ mechs in the closet doesn't mean you got knowledge. Getting confused of Mac+ with M2 is the the biggest sign that you are a big newbie. Just cause my head is up my ass doesn't mean I'm a newbie ok... I guess I am a newbie... Just 'cause I know all the 1/55 varients out there and know the history of who had the molds doesn't make up for the fact that I saw volume 1 [the first two episodes of mac plus] just over a decade ago and l confused it with macII, indicates I am lacking in certai macross fanboy aspects. Limiting/appending my original qustion to what is actually in macII as opposed to my hippie compilation of the two... my first encounter with the 19a was with a psx game... guess which yammie version I have I can say I probably had that mixed up. I swear I saw something similar in macII but as the movie really didn't spend any time on the valks I couldn't be sure. Which valks are only in macII... Any??? Was ishtar [or any scantily clad female with the same wardrobe] in any other series/movie? Is mac II where the "giant floating head" reference comes from? Is there a breakdown of what video valks appeared in anywhere on the web? Yeah I know there are many individuals who know a great deal more than me about many subjects... which is why I ask questions... so I can learn. This is what makes MW great... yeah, I may get mocked... but at least I get an answer to my questions . Feel free to mock me and point out why I'm a dumbass... All I ask is you do it as those who have already posted do... IE your a dumbass because you didn't watch this or you don't know this... as opposed to your a dumbass with no explanations. Feel free to tell my I'm retarded as long as you say why And yeah... I know money is no excuse for knowledge... When I say I have 30+ keep in mind that less than 20% of my mac collection was bought MIB... the rest was either made MIB or is in some phaze of refurb. Yeah I know that assembling a 1/55 from a pile of bits makes me an expert on nothing more than assembling a 1/55 from bits [and not even that till my step-by-step gets finished and linked to] I would never classify myself as an expert and anything else. The day I can get W>M> to PM me asking "how in the hell did you do that?" will be a very good day indeed, although I still won't have a clue about the anime itself unless I keep asking questions

go monkey... go monkey...

I just saw macross two on starz action channel on the digital cable we have out at our new House. As I have always been more into the toys [jetfire ] than plot subtleties I let most of the romanticism I hold for macross/r-word come from what I remember as a child. We all know DYRL had a plot, R-word had a story line... but what the heck is this? I remember "istar" from mac plus vol1&2 [all I saw as it was a rental at a gaming store]. Is macross II the complete story of mac plus??? I know I saw for the first time, much to my dismay, the first animated representations of a few valks I have come to love. My question is thus... Is this really the only appearence of these cool valks? Did the 2ss and 19 appear nowhear else animated? Is the only good that came from this the toys? Are some of my coolest toys based on something seen for such a brief ammount of time on a show so lame....? AND NO.... I AM NOT A NEWBY!!!!! Just some-one who saw this travisty for the first time... makes me question the wisdom of 30+ 1/55's in a closet is all

do both... Report his ass so his last item is overpriced and he gets yanked!!!!

That's true, cables are usually insanely marked up. I remember in one case where my boss made more money on a serial to usb cable than a desktop computer. radio shack... 12' foptal (fiber optic audio cable) cable was over $40 retail... cost was $8 and change. Lord knows I refuse to pay retail fow just about everything now-a-days. It's usually cheaper. My favorite scenario was actually at a best buy as well. As some know I use work at radio shack for a long wile... till my store got fired because I abused the system to much LOL. Anyways... I was #1 salesperson in north florida for quite some time PRIMARILY because I helped customers solve their problems rather than sell them stuff they didn't need. "all you need is this three dollar adaptor.. not a $300 dollar digital covertor... and they would come back and buy complete systems from me just 'cause they knew I wasn't messing with them. Bo diddly was one of my favorite customers as the man would spend a lot, and he would only buy from me as I wouldn't try to sell a man who knew more tham me crap he didn't need. Anyways... SO I'm at best buy getting a sprint pcs phone for no other reson than mine died an untimely death and none of the radio shacks in the area had the one I wanted in stock. Buying thge phone was no problem but the annoying cell guy insisted on activating it on the spot. I know doing an ESN (electronic serial number) swap isn't that difficult but this fool was talking to lord knows who for over an hour with no progress and repeated re-requests for all my personal info. I have more tolerance for bullshit than most {I am a hippie } but this guy wouldn't listen to a thing I told him. I finally got to the point where I asked to borrow the store "demo" phone to take care of the situation myself. He rolled his eyes and said "here you go but you can't activate your phone from a different phone... Anyways... I called my rep at regional headquarters, got the esn unlock code, programmed my phone (which was instantly activated) and then handed him the phone so he could be fired by his bosses boss! I can't help but think that anyone who ignores the fact that you know the are rep on a first name basis is to friggin stupid to work around electronics!!! I have also been responcible for the almost immediate termination of the three car salesmen my last three cars came from... Homey don't play no games! I don't quite agree with this pole however as it's perspective biased. Wallyworld sucks ass... which is what makes it great. Look at me... I just bought a bunch of clearence toys at target for three dollars each. I just returned them to wallyworld for $15 each without a reciept. I know I can only do three returns per pre set time period [They will tell you if you ask] but I find it well worth while to spend $30 at TRU on clearence crap and get $150 worth of credit at wally world. Sure it's not cash money (unless you pm me to find out how ] but buying stuff from wally world at .20$ on the dollar almost makes the MPC prime worth buying.

I wanna see

anybody else find this box art a little disturbing? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3194270747&rd=1

finally yamato is making stuff in scale with things I already have

Agreed. Me and the G/F actually clapped. We clapped even more when Julia shot that bitch dead. I dunno... I'm curious to see what the finale is gonna be... it seems almost anti-climactic at this point, since Saunders is captured, the evil bitch is dead, and all the hostages plays are done. season finale... mr president... it seems a large portion of the polar cap has broken off and extreme weather conditions are expected the day after tomorrow... dammit... where's jack? he's currently on an island dealing with dinasuars recreated from dna trapped in amber oh well... at least sherry is dead

Hey ladies... my jock strap has been is space... want to touch it

back up everything whenever you can. More importantly... date your back-ups. I have sooo many back-ups of back-ups I have spools of stuff I hope I never have to sort through. I have four hard drives in my pc now and am going to be upgrading my os hard drive after we finish moving in to the new house. Better believe everything is going to be backed up. My only worry is the stuff that somehow got on my pc that is larger than I can get on a cd like "the dark side of oz". I still don't know how I got a 1gig movie on my machine as I sure didn't download it with dial up... heck... I don't even have a modem in that pc
