  1. i'd consider it if it were about $20 less.

    Possible?

    Sorry, but technically you're wrong. Night vision goggles need ambient light to work. If there is no natural light the an IR illuminator is attathed to the goggles. Anyone else who is wearing NV will see a bright green beam of light coming from the IR.
  3. I was wondering where he got that nice tan.
  4. I had that guy. His name was Warduke and the horse was Nightmare. It was pretty cool until Warduke's rubber band broke and he became a parapalegic. My favorite obscure toys were the Dougram dual models. Very cool stuff with excelent poseability for thier day.
  5. Oh, you mean something like this? EDIT: Forgot to attach pic at first pass. D'oh. Not to nit-pick or anything but you have the ammo belt in backwards.
  6. "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast." That makes at least five.
  7. If HG had put RT on TV and run commercials for the toys during the show at the same time as releasing toys instead of putting it on DVD the could have sold alot more of thier junk to "un-Macross-enlightened" kids.
  8. Heh... whenever our guitar player broke a string (which was always) the drummer and I (on bass) would do our version of the Imperial March from Star Wars. Always got a big response. I've never broken a string. Could be because I use .013's.
  9. I remember having some Diaclones and Transformers before the cartoon came out (which is probably why I didn't like the cartoon) and I also remember my frinds not really being that interested in them until after the transformers cartoon started airing.
  10. I didn't buy Convoy/Prime so why would I buy a repaint? I guess I was a wierd kid, I never liked the cartoon but I loved the toys so I have zero interest in "anime accurate" transformers.
  11. I don't think kids today are so much "pussies" as they are misguided and lazy. Why risk losin a fist fight when you can shoot the other guy and guarantee victory. The real problem I see with kids is that they're too confident. It's the parents fault for not properly teaching thier kids manners. I was in Target yesterday and a woman was trying to leave the store but her kid kept whining about candy and she was tring to negotiate with the kid. That just teaches them that if they make a big enough stink they can get thier way. I would have never even dreamed of such behavior in public as my mom would have smacked me stupid. I'm all for ass whippin's but what it basically comes down to is that however others want to raise thier kids is really none of my business. Everyone thinks that they know best so I wouldn't presume tell you how to live your life just as I wouldn't want anyone to do the same to me.
  12. Back in the late 80's I played guitar in a band and whenever the drummer would bust a head ( which was always) I would play video game songs while the singer freestyled dirty limericks. You don't want to keep punk rockers waiting or you'll get a bottle up side the head. My personal favorite song was "Commando". BTW my band was called "Protoculture".
  13. It's not just the Fantastic 4 it's superheroes in general.
  14. Max DYRL 1A = 012 Max TV 1J = 303 Millia TV 1J = 505 Millia never had a 1A and there is no 202. I guess it would have been Kakizaki if he had lived long enough to get a 1J.
  15. To me, that was clearly a case of Tarantino saying "Hey look at me, I got Sonny Chiba in my f*ckin' movie!" A pretty pointless cameo, just because he could. When I make my "Kill Bill," I'm going to cast Ah-nuld as the Hot-Dog Vendor in scene 82. One other thing that peeved me was calling Chiba's charachter Hanzo Hattori. The greatest ninja ever reduced to a swordsmith. WTF? When I make my movie it's going to be a buddy/revenge flick starring Ah-nuld and Mr. T .It'll be all one liners and go something like this: Ah-nold: Ahl be bahck! Mr. T: Stop all that jibba jabba and drink your milk fool! Agent ONE:CROM laughs at you, milk drinking girly man! I know I'm not funny but humor me
  16. I think the action was a little too repetitive. It was sorta like watching someone play a hack n' slash video game. At leat the movies being mimicked had some variety. Exploding heads, torn out throats, ripped off balls etc... Not just hacked off limbs. Also, what's up with having Sonny Chiba in your movie but not letting him kick some ass? I'd rather watch "The Streetfighter" any day.
  17. I was kinda dissapointed with this movie as well. I lost interest is excessive gore around the same time I grew hair on my balls. The only thing I really liked was the swords. There were some really nice designs in this flick.
  18. Hikaru's 1J is 101, Millia's 1J is 505, Max's 1J is 303, Kakizaki's 1A is 212 and Max's 1A is 313. I'm almost 100% that these are the correct numbers.
  19. Same song, second verse. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/art/_art_kawamori.htm There's so much more to MW than the forums.
  20. I'm glad it wasn't Kakizaki deserves better. Non-transforming valk toys are a stoopid idea IMHO.
  21. My money is on a lack of interest. As much as they've been discussed around here, I don't think too many people actually planed on buying them.

    collector habits

    I'm already done. I don't plan on buying any more Macross toys unless it's something that totally wows me or I get a super deal.
