    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.

    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.

    Paint job is looking very sharp there, Nyankodevice! :)

    At this rate, I'd expect "South Park" level of dialogue, to be frank.

    Same; although for me, it opens up possibilities. How about multiple John and Sarah Connors in one timeline (coming in from alternate ones)? I envision that there could be a "running battle" where both Skynet and the Resistance's time-meddling has destabilized the whole time contimuum, and time itself begins to collapse.

    In other words: charging max prices for max profit while using minimal cost materials and work to be purchased by fans who hope against hope for a "RT revival" that will never come.

    Good point.

    ROFL!!! Nice job!!

    If HG wanted to make money, they should make a documentary (with a digital camcorder that doesn't require film) of how they tried to resurrect RT all those times. Then just label it "The Making of Robotech". Then they could promote it as a comedy; I think at least a few people would see it just out of boredom.

    Indeed: on my 1/5000 kit, I had to install a set of elbows so the ship could bring them up like in the series. Same here; without glasses, everything looks fuzzy and indistinct... ....except my cat. he always looks that way.

    Recently redid the face on Voltron; it was too narrow and the eyes were too small.

    Minus the actual big budget, of course...

    I know, right? The bottom one was supposed to be a derivative of the gunpod for the YF-19, and the larger one was based on the smaller. Instead, I got "Mass Effect", but I think I'm just gonna go with it.

    I was just thinking about that: that the "Joker" isn't one person, but a type. much like "the Unicron effect" is described in various Transformers universes where even without a link to the multiversal Unicron, one can arise due to the fact that "Unicron" is woven into the fabric of reality. In that vein, it's plausible that "Joker" is a force of nature woven into the various worlds of DCU and expresses itself in various individuals at a time. Almost like a "spirit of insanity" that is impersonal and "infects" susceptible people who then become these "Jokers".

    Sorry, didn't mean to bury your post. But from now on, I'll quote your post when I post so it won't get buried.

    That started I think in Macross 7. Speaking of guns, I have the new gunpod (with the "official" designation of GU-49 "Gilead") painted up and sealed In comparison with the smaller original gunpod; I'm planning on using both for this mech as "combat options", with the smaller one being for close-in combat/ melee and the larger one for anti-ship/ fleet ops: Rockin' the Gilead: Yeah...ya really don't want to be on the wrong end of this one!

    Strangely enough Thom, I also had that thought. Talk about a "gunship"! lol
  23. pengbuzz
    Yeah; those are reasons I largely don't order KO's and 3p from overseas (for anything)., Quality issues and the risk of losing said items in "black holes".

    My latest project: After seeing the beam gunpod unit for the VF-31J in Macross Delta, I wanted to develop one of my own for my custom valk. So, I threw some spare parts and odds and ends together to see what I came up with. Here it is compared to the GU-11 and the original gunpod I designed for my valk; as a joke, i nicknamed it the "F-U2 Advanced Beampod" : And of course, "in hand": Stay tuned...

    Or Rey goes back in time and becomes Shmi Skywalker.
