    "Star Wars: The Rise of Bile in My Throat"

    I do not consider malevolent forces to be "mumbo jumbo", considering the state of the real world as it stands. Humans suck, but there are things underlying it all that human veracity alone cannot explain. Anyways, departing this conversation now; I have a new policy in place that when folks don't like what I say, I don't bother staying for "act II" of the play.

    In all of the various iterations of the Joker, I'm starting to wonder if all the various origin stories are true... My theory: The "Joker" is not simply one person, but in reality is a malevolent entity that possess and corrupts those whom life has cast down, despised, spit upon and ground to a pulp. And when that poor husk is used up, it simply moves to a new individual (or individuals) and merely starts again. This would go a great length to explain why batman doesn't "kill" the Joker: He knows that it would simply transfer to another person, and he won't risk that. That explanation would have to include that Bruce somehow discovered this, and discovered that this entity could not be contained by physical, electromagnetic or magical/divine means. So all that would be left would be to continually oppose it and keep tabs on it, while training those he has taken under his "wing" if you will for the next generation of guardians to keep track of the next husk this entity would corrupt once its' current host(s) are finished. Meantime, Bruce secretly continues a desperate race to discover a way to permanently destroy this thing. Yeah, I know: plenty of gaping holes and probably takes from stories done to death already. But its at least an idea...

    Not to mention the "1984" G1 Prime toy that kid is playing with has TWO laser rifles.

    Yeah; it would seem to be a combination of a medium grey and a turquoise, almost a dulled down "engineering green" if you will from the ST:TMP Enterprise Refit, but going a little more the bluish end of things. As mentioned previously, it's going to be up to individual modeler taste here.

    At the rate they're going, about $250. O.o

    They could get their revenge during a Super Bowl Party by eating every snack in sight....

    I had to put the destroid idea on hold for no, due to both a lack of parts and to be honest, just plain burned out on Macross for the moment. Meantime, decided to do a project with nothing but cardboard, masking tape and a screenshot (or 500!): I didn't want yet another table-spanning project. So...this one is about the size of a can of Coke:

    Hence they should have room for a convincing transform.

    For this price, you may as well get a 1/48 build it yourself kit from Yamato/Arcadia/whatever they're called now. I know they're not exactly plentiful, but at this price, I'd at leas expect it to transform or something.

    Do you think this could be a sideways-way of HasTakTomy re-doing the original G1 series?
  12. pengbuzz
    Yeah; mine is pretty much what I think the ship looked like. I know that artwork was produced for DYRL (I think), but I thought th ship looked a bit too "lumpy".

    Dolly the sheep bot?

    Sorry, but that's not the assumption I'm working under. What I'm working under is that HG lied about their income, and that demonstrates that they don't "do a good job" on anything they do. If they did, they wouldn't have to resort to dishonesty about how much they made. At any rate, I am going to excuse myself from this conversation for the duration. Thanks for the dialogue.

    Well, Global really did have "a bigger boat"

    Megatron's younger, anorexic brother? O.o

    A nice oil wash might work wonders for it.

    MT's work is nothing else if not absolutely remarkable! And your works is amazing as well: I really like the idea you have for the magnetic missile mounts! Ont he note of updates: decided to redo the body work and paint job of my "Alien Starship One" kitbash/ scratchbuild. I tried rounding the edges off a bit more, and doing the hull in "burned green/grey" colors more in keeping with how it would look during entry into Earth's atmosphere: These are a bit sharper, but also wash the color out too much:

    Agreed; the fact it persists now is because it keeps being pursued by HG. And to be honest, I'll admit that I'm among those fans of Macross to be irked by their ironclad deathgrip on the franchise. Although I'll also admit that even if they lost the rights, it probably wouldn't be the "magical gate-opening to Macross-Eutopia" that many are hoping for from Tatsunoko/Big West. Many of us fans (and I'll include myself in the roster, in all frankness) are probably more emotionally invested in the franchise than the companies that produce(d) and distribute(d) it. I think I need to explain my comment here a bit, since I may not have spelled out my entire line of thinking. The reason I say HG will finish itself once RT goes under isn't that I think RT is their "bread and butter', but that once they run that into the ground, they'll finish doing the same to the rest of their crudball empire. It was once said " The Way a Person Does One Thing Is the Way They Do Everything ", and I think there's some truth to that. If their property management dealings are just as shoddy as their handling of intellectual properties, then they aren't doing very well in any arena, IMO. So really, I don't think HG will sink because RT drops off, but I do believe that the same mentality that caused them to handle it poorly persists into all their dealings and ultimately will finish them in the end. on that note: That's why I said "mostly" out of trouble; they did some stuff that pretty much guaranteed that the law would start having an issue. But so far, nothing seems to have really impacted them insofar as actual penalties (at least as far as I know Seito; I haven't heard or read anything on that one, so my apologies if I'm in error on that). As for the difference between HG's and the Agrama family's finances, I'm not too sure they are so separate, seeing as HG provides the Agrama family with their income (AFAIK). That said: it is good that the Italian courts are on them about it, and hopefully will continue to keep an eye on them in the foreseeable future.

    I would love to find these again, especially the Macross-based ones. Too bad these couldn't be reissued in the US, but I'm sure there's a plethora of legal/ safety and financial/business reasons why that I'm not aware of.
  21. pengbuzz
    Thanks! It was a good project to build. Next up, thinking about doing a Destroid in 1/72 scale from scratch. That should be interesting...

    No serious money is more the term here. As this slips further and further, hopefully HG will finish themselves and file for bankruptcy. I for one would like to see a serious investigation into HG's overall financial dealings, but aside from the ones already done, I'm pretty sure no one in that "company" would ever do any serious answering for their antics. Not to mention their behavior probably skirts just inside of "legal" enough to keep them (mostly) out of trouble.

    Same; I got into a lot of arguments over stupid stuff on more than a few TF boards, and eventually just had to walk away from them (for my blood pressure's sake). I like the laid-back atmosphere and general camaraderie here at MWF much better. While I like MP-10 overall and like the way MP-44 advanced the tech used for the transformation, admittedly, I have issues with both. I agree about the arms on MP-10 being too long, while MP-44 just looks a bit "broken up" in a parts-wise way (too "panely"). Also, cost for me is prohibitive on many levels, and just like GX-71 Voltron/GoLion, the price point for MP-44 is about half my rent!!! So, I did the only thing I could, having an MP-01 that I bought (back when MP's were not that expensive): I rebuilt it. While it may not look 100 percent like MP-44, at least it's a lot closer than it's original configuration, and it still transforms. I've had to do this for a lot of stuff (like Voltron), where I couldn't simply buy the newest version. But rebuilding the older ones certainly teaches you about the methods they use in developing these collectibles (and the pain of developing the new transforms!).

    Why five million? Because the other five million were at the drive thru for Zentraedi Burger king and were waiting for their orders, so ten million wasn't going to be happening that day. :D

    Just google "rubber dog poop" on the internet and we'll get the idea.
