I'm freeing up some time for this panel. I'm on staff so if I can give you a little help just give me a heads up. I may try to convince my girlfriend to bring her Basara outfit, we made it 2 days before Sakuracon and I think the guitar might need a bit of work.

I'll be attending as staff. Not sure what I will be Cosplaying but my girlfriend dressed as Basara/Sheryl for Sakuracon. She may do something else Macross themed this time around and I may as well.

I am getting back into playing this game again, I have not played since I ordered it back when it came out years ago. I downloaded the DYRL Voxp mod which is great but I was wondering if anyone knew how to adjust the resolution settings, I would really enjoy widescreen if possible.

Wow! I just had to post on this topic, it made me really think back about a lot of fond memories. I would have to say I came to understand Macross in late 1997 because of Robotech on Toonami. I did know about Macross before that..I guess early 90's because of dyrl and I had some catalog that sold random anime, and there was some cool pictures all over it some of which were macross. I grew up more of a Transformers fan in the 80's and my brothers were big Robotech fans..I guess since they were older and the kissie stuff was more their speed. With their love of Robotech came a few random toys which I never touched mainly for fear of death. I did happen to come by some when I was interested in my transformers again around the early 90's which prompted me to watch Robotech.Being the only thing I could find was DYRL which I just thought was the super rad Robotech movie. Now back to 97 cartoon network aired Robotech I sit down all excited then I said..."wait what? These are not the same people from clash of the something or others!" So I got my little fingers to working on my parents computer with our super cool internet and found out that the movie I watched was called Macross and that Macross had some pretty wicked toys. So I began scouring for ways to get toys and one thing led to another and I found a catalog that had tiny pictures of Macross toys at my local Grocery store. I ordered a Myria Bandai Variable Model Kit and two action figures that seemed like they took forever to come in. I guess I was content with what I had and my knowledge that I might not ever get to see the Macross tv series dubbed, so I just went on my happy little way. A few years rolled by and high school came around and let me mention I grew up in a small town in Louisiana called Farmerville. Anyway I was a prob. 11th grade then and I see this guy in a shirt...that has the U.N. Spacey logo and something that says Macross Plus?!?!? This is a school with barely 500 people and how did I not spot this guy? He begins to rant and rave about Macross plus and how its in English and I need to see it and blah blah blah and thats when I became hooked on it for good. Things went downhill after that I found Ebay and then fan sites..and ...oh..how different my life would be with out this..this...addiction!

Thanks for the info! I am going to order from here when they get more in, I cant wait!

Wow the v1 is insanely crappy! Thanks for the help on that one!

Dude you guys are awesome with the quick replies! I am looking around I think the 1/60 might be for me because I am wanting to start collecting the yamato valks. I also have a pretty decent collection of older bandai models etc. that I think they would go well with. What would be the best way to tell if it's a v2 from pictures or anything...or a good question to ask a seller? I will run out of steam on the questions soon I promise hehe. I want to shop around on pricing if I can help it just so I can get a Max soon for my next one...or maybe before the Roy, I guess whichever the best deal comes around.

Ah those are some awesome tips thanks a ton! In your or anyone's opinion what would be the best variable Roy figure?

Thats a pretty good point and since I am in Aviation and working on my flight instructor cert. I need to save all the money I can!

Ah well thats good to know that they are pretty expensive to ship. I am in Louisiana so most things that I want do come at a pretty good price! I have some bandai model kits that I ordered a long time ago when I was in jr. high and those cost me a pretty penny back then. Thanks for the quick response!

Hello all! I read most of the faqs and I also did some searches, but I figured I should just ask a question to save myself some time...eh I guess because I am to lazy to dig through a few pages of posts. I was looking at buying a Yamato valk and I would prefer a Roy with fast packs. I have no idea which one to get which issue or where to buy from. I really do not care if it's used as long as it's in good .So should I ask for a certain one in the wanted area, dig on ebay or look on some websites? I know most likely I will be hooked on buying them but I would very much like to start with my favorite characters valk! I guess I got the fever again since I decided to buy my Transformers Jetfire valk which I always always always wanted! Thanks for any info in advanced!

Well with shipping I think it was 214, so if the same set went up on ebay it would probobly go for about 250 thats including shipping?

After about two years of thinking about it I decided to join the club and buy a yamato vf-1s. Now I found a fokker vf-1s with the superstrike armor set for 200.00. Is that a good deal or is there a cheaper set I should look for? I also have a jetfire which I would like to clean up and repaint does anyone have any tips for that? It's pretty much a takatoku so I figured that would not be a out of place question to ask while I was at it.

The GTO's not exactly expensive, either (starting at under $32,000). And muscle cars weren't exactly for the rich and famous to begin with. 392432[/snapback] oh no I know that, they were mainly grocery getters and such. What I meant by the poor mans muscle car was that it was easy to afford so more people had them thus making them more popular.

booo mustang? what about GTO?...I guess mustang won because it is the poor mans muscle car.

88 MPH!!!!

Why in God's name would you want a Delorean? Those cars are utter crap. 390971[/snapback] Well I am a big fan of Pontiacs and Delorean created the GTO, Trans Am and of course the Delorean. I am not a fan of the engines...but I sort of like the stainless steel body and the gullwing doors. I would most likely transplant a different powerplant into it if I did get one. I have just been a sucker for those cars ever since I can remember and I would enjoy having one a whole bunch.

Smokey and the Bandit! Does anyone here have any movie/tv show replica cars? K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider, General Lee, A-Team van? 390900[/snapback] I am looking into selling my 77 silver car and maybe my truck to buy a Delorean I am in college so it's sort of hard to find the time even if I can afford it.

I am fond of older cars, I have 4 right now only one completely restored and one that is partially (in need of a new paint job and some body work). I only have pictures of two of them on my laptop so I should have avoided talking about them but I might as well anyway. The two I have pictures of is a 77 hardtop Trans Am with a Poncho 400 and the other is a 78 T-Top Trans am with a Poncho 400 Ported 6x heads mild cam and a holley 750dp and soon to have a r4 tranny. The two other cars I have no pictures of is a 78 t-top Formula Firebird Black and gold with a 400 and a 1950 Plymouth Deluxe 2door with a flathead 6. And just for those who notice...yes the rest are with a different camera. I have more pictures on my facebook...just look for Jesse Grier if any of you are interested.

Insanity is what I should call my work on the sdf-1. Making the thing fly is one thing...but this thing is huge for something that flys. I am still working on it but I am just trying to get the flight model correct I do not want a fake half functional ship.

Well I there is somebody working on this for orbiter, Sc-27 Stargoose I finally got my computer back together so I think I might doing my research for the Macross again.

well I found a torrent for vfx-2...but it does not seem to ever want to download :-\ I really do not want to pay to import the psone macross games and they not be the least bit enjoyable :-\

How does the game control...flow and such is it like a free roam third person game...maybe like some of the Gundam games or macross ps2 game?

hmm I might need to import that one...but I am not sure hehe wish I could play it or read a review or something :-\ how was the first game would it be worth the shipping? Should I try to find a iso of it just to try it out?...doubt I could do that but guess I need to run on good opinions.

Hey guys just decided I would pop into the convo. I have two 1978 Trans Am's (one being a formula)and the Trans Am that I did the restore on...completely redid the interior new floor pans refurbished wiring harness and so on. It's like a new car inside, except with new speaker’s radio and sound proofing. In the next few weeks I plan on pulling the Pontiac 400 and doing a rebuild, and redoing the engine harness. There will not be much to add to the engine since as is it runs about a 12.sec quarter. I might do some pro-touring mods later for handling...but it already drives great and takes turns like a dream.I am really not worried about paint more than I am about performance and actually being comfortable inside, besides my car is solid and for a 25yr+ paint job and decal set it looks great. My formula I am planning on adding a Pontiac 455 and turning it into a ram air car, I enjoy my torque and this car will show it I think after I finish these two I might start work on my 1950 Plymouth restore...but money does not run thick for this college student <_<P P.S Whenever my ftp comes back up I wll post a few pics.
