Yeah I have designs that I wnt made.

Hey Nick, how about posting them pics here.

Anyone buy the Takatoys stickers form Tam for the Red/Blue Alpha? I was thinking about buying those for my Red one to give it some good decals.

I wonder if takatoys will be making the sticker sheet for the green and shadow Alphas?

I got my replacement drive shaft repro from a U.S. seller who can be found on the TF boards.  ($7.50 shipped)  A7, I don't know if it is your Windcharger or just the repro, but mine snaps securely on the brackets and holds the engine in place.  I also didn't have to  enlarge the hole for the pin to fit.  It is possible that the recaster you bought from just used a larger diameter pin.  If anyone wants, I can find my calipers and check the size since you should be able to find the brass rods at a hobby shop.    I can snap some pictures later if anyone wants, but I haven't yet cleaned up the driveshaft and permanently installed it (just a small amount of flash and a barely visible mold parting line to sand away).  It really does improve Windcharger looks, and it is a mod I highly recommend.

Could you please provide a link to them TF boards, trueblueeyes. I would like to arm my Windcharger. Thanks.

Very neat looking, DAS. :thumbs up:

I vote for the 19th, since Noel can only make it on that date. Right, Noel?

what should i do? do i REALLY need a 1/48 focker? is not the hikaru 1J sufficient to sate my 1/48 appetite?

You are seeing the first stages of valkohalism. Just let it happen, eat ramen for a while. Once you click on the confirm order button, you are become US!! Ha ha muhahaaha!!

I am hopeful that we are only seeing the effects of Yamato's rethinking of their Macross line-up. Like the calm before a storm. I want my wallet to feel the wrath of Yamato again. The Mk II Monster should be 1/100 scale, so you can display it alongside it's lil' bro'. Plus they'll sell more at that scale.

I was hoping to at least see one of those "all-grey" prototypes of the 1/48 GBP armor, what a let-down.

Where is MW con going to be this year?

Check for updates here.

One gimmick I would love for the 1/48 destroids would be working searchlights. Yamato could use those tiny watch batteries, maybe even AAA size? Of course all hatches would have to open and removable missles are a must. Like >EXO< said, the Matchbox destroids look great next to 1/60 valks. So hunt'em down 1/60 fans.

The only 1/60s I have are the Q-raus. So 1/48 destroids would be more in line with my Macross collection. I'd like to be able to put the valk pilot figs into the destroids. I agree with jonwayne, why not make'em in both scales?

Any particular stalls I should pay attention to?

Treasure Island is at the end of aisle 200. Yoshi and two other Japanese importers are in aisle 800. You'll see the aisle number at the end of the aisle on a wall banner. Hagi is located near the end of the aisle that runs parallel to San Jose Ave. Happy hunting!

When fans of a series grow up and have disposable income is when companies usually go for the "deluxe treatment". You won't see a MP Armada Prime anytime soon. I think that the deluxe ones are mostly display pieces while the value ones are okay for throwing across the room.

This years shirt will be GBP themed. I got screwed over on my last shirt design, cause of too many compromises. So I will make it how I want it and all yall can take it or leave it.

So are you gonna take orders from MWers or will this involve Binary Being? How about letting us see some images of your choices for the T-shirt. May I suggest a small Super Deformed GBP on the front and a regular large version on the back. What about the color of the shirt? I'm thinking one color would make it easier.

Hey Seiichi,

I only need Roy Focker's VF-1S to complete my set of Banpresto's SD valkyries with armor. How much, and if possible could you bring it to MW Con5? I will pay at the con.

Thank you,

Aron

La Cienega TRU in West Los Angeles also have those same Alts. 2 Grimmies, 3 Windchargers, 2 Ravages and 1 Swindle were left.

I think I'd like bandai to make one, @1/1700 scale...

How tall would the toy be at that scale? I wouldn't mind any company *cough*Toynami*cough* releasing at least a small 7" tall SDF-1 Macross TV/DYRL.

...we should start coming up with shirt ideas.

I vote for the shirt to at least have "MW Con5" on it somewhere. Last year's had that silhouette of the Minmay doll on the back which should've said "MW Con4" below her. How about some characters this year?

I need to know waypoints, coordinates, d-day h hour !!

Noel

We missed you at last year's con Noel. It was good to meet and share a Sapporo with you at con3. Only if I would've gotten there sooner for that 1/55 GBP armor. PMing you with another request.

That's the picture alright. Thanks valk1j!  It is clearly a brown 1J, so I'm thinking that the grey one pictured above is in error. Does anyone else remember a scene with a grey VF-1J? I certainly can't.

Who cares! It still looks cool.

Totally fresh and awesome! Were you able to get that texture that the original Takatoku boxes have?

Come on, 'zilla. We need pics that'll make us You can do it!

Those are some sick @$$ pics s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d. Looks professional. Jeebus, you're already takeing apart your VB-6.

I know it's barely January, but I think we should start thinking where it's going to be held. Since Solscud007 and Otaku Smeghead have left the building, no more Irvine gatherings. So any ideas? I'll bring the Sapporo, of course.

Impressive. Most Impressive.

Great work newbie!
