Damn, that was some of the funnest gaming experience with their Star Wars system.....god, I had so many of their books and they had so much stuff for the Universe....too bad WotC doesnt put out as much stuff as West End Games did. I met some of the artists that did the star wars book for west end....played in one of their games....Bill something or other was his name...pretty cool game. It was at a con, so it didnt last long. Wonder what games they are going to put out? Wonder if WotC is going to lose the contract for Star wars and West End will get it back. Larry

Congrats Graham! May your job as father be filled with much joy and happiness for the rest of your life and may your child grow up to be strong and healthy and a lover of Macross! Larry

Just barely got home from watching it......I really liked the film and the way that they presented it. I dont know living in American and all, but is that the way that British kids style their hair? Both Harry and Ron seemed a bit odd. But, I guess that is hollywood for you. I hope that they still use all the same cast for the remaining films, as I think that they can pull off being 17 when they are in their 20's unless they really start trashing themselves up by being rich and famous stars and all the drugs and boose and wild living that follows...LOL (Carrie Fisher anyone?) Twich

Just got done watching the subbed version.....I really liked it, but it seemed rather shorter than the other ones.....does anyone know the running time in comparison to the other eps? I have to agree that Roy getting shot down and his VF-0S getting trashed does rather nicely line him up for his VF-1S.... I really dont know what happened to Edgar....it would be nice to have that story element rapped up one way or another....but we did see that he did parachute out....and we didnt see him captured with the others. I am eagerly anticipating the next ep...it says that it does come out Spring 2004 Twich

Hey Graham, I didnt know that you liked the Stampede Valk.....That is a good design, but I am doubtful it would come out. I would love to see the reissue of the YF/VF-19 and a totally new YF-21/VF-22S I am in love with that valk, but I dont dare to transform my YF-21 FP I like the little VF-0S....but I would definately like something that is a little bigger and doesnt have to be taken apart...but until then, I am happy with what they are offering...it could be worse, they could not be offering anything. Larry

Apon seeing the Battroid Pics and the Gerwalk pic, I am REALLY excited about this toy! I cant say that enough! I am also excited for the Macross Zero Toys! I wonder when we are going to have a painted version to look at? Larry

Vinnie, You live in Vermont? Damn....I live in South Burlington....right near the airport and I hear the Green Mountain Boys all the time....I also watch all the helicopters from Camp Johnson taking off and doing maneuvers.....I always wondered why Blackhawks were hovering over residential areas though.....? David, Thanks for that info...I didnt know that the Green Mountain Boys were the first to fly CAP over NYC after 9-11. I think that they still fly expecting trouble because as I said before, they are always louded with 2 fuel tanks and a full compliment of missles. Larry

Hey David, Do you know anything about the "Green Mountain Boys"? That is the Vermont Air National Guard squadron that flies over my house everyday....they fly the F-16 and they always go up with drop tanks and full missle compliment....they usually go up in pairs, but I have seen 4-6 regularly. Also, I see F/A -18's and A-10's occasionally. I have even seen a F-15 fly around here occasionally. Can you tell me what block these planes are? I wonder how old they are...Hmmm Larry

Wasn't it the F-105 Thunderchief....nicknamed the "Thud" Twich

So Uhh....Now that we have had d20 mecha for quite a while and all this stuff.....does anyone have any stats for the Mecha? I am talking VF-19 and VF-22S and the like....I want to play this game, but I am unsure about what the stats should be. Any ideas? Thanks Larry

Wow!!! Seeing this makes me want to get the Yamato 1/100 Koenig Monster even more when it comes out. Whoever built this has some sort of skills....damn. Larry

Thanks for the awesome pics and info guys...i am really looking forward to the VF-0S and the VB-6 Koenig Monster. Now that I have a new job, maybe I can afford it. Larry

Having been an avid gaming fan, I have to say that I am more excited about the stuff that was shown at this years E3 than I have been for the past 3 or 4 years. I am particularly excited about the PSP and Nintendo DS. I hope more news about all those great games is forthcoming. Twich

While I do hope that Yamato fixes the leg-peg-joint type thing on the final product, I am still extremely pleased that we are getting a toy line for Mac 0. Just my 2 cents Larry

I am really excited about the prospects that are coming soon. The Nintendo DS, the PSP, the new games for the cube and PS2 and XBox. I am really very excited about the prospect of a New Metal Gear Solid Game for this PSP! The Zelda game looks awesome...might even get me to buy it. Halo 2 looks pretty good too. Cant wait until we get the full story from E3. Larry

IT said I was Lynn Minmay...I am too ashamed to show a picture....I think I shall now go jump off a bridge somewhere.... I am not a female...Honest! How embarassing! LOL Larry

My versions works with the K-Lite codec set...I think you can download the whole thing...comes with a player and everything you need to watch it. Just do a search for "K-Lite Codec" and it should direct you to where you can download it....Hope this helps. Larry

So, if this is supposed to come out in May, are there any new pictures of the VF-0S? I am really looking forward to this toy and the other ones to follow. When do the Hobby Mags come out anyway? Is it beginning, middle or the end of the month? Larry

When I look at those pictures of Josie Moran, all I can think is..."Where did I put my scissors to cut the three strings on that top?" She is definately "bustin" out! (Pun intended) And for my next Cliche! Direct from Monty Python..."Bathe her, and bring her to me!" Larry

Thanks Bsu...as I recall, weren't you a fan too? When is the mini-series supposed to air? Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I maybe in the minority, but I rather enjoyed the previous 2 "prequel" movies....but I hope that this one is in the vein of Empire Strikes Back....which many fans argue is the best of the original trilogy. I liked them all, but I am weird like that. Larry PS-Yeah Farscape!

WHen I look at that last picture, I still see "Scorpy" from Farscape shining through.....Too bad, that makes me miss Farscape all over again. Larry --EDIT-- sorry, I was referring to Wayne and the last picture of him on page 2

tried reloading a bunch of times.....cant see the pictures.....Damn, I was really wanting to see these, it looks like he had a whole bunch up there at one time. Oh well, Larry

74% Larry

Well, guys, think about it.....this is being sculpted by the guy who did the IHP 1/100 resin transformable Koenig...so in essense, you do have a test run of the sculpt. I know that it is not the same, but it should be similar enough that it really will not be that different. I think that most of us will agree that the IHP kit is top notch. Now as far as factory defects or QC problems....I think that Yamato has come a long way from the YF-19 debacle. So I do think that they do have a lot of experience. Let us keep a positive note and not a negative one...we dont want to start basing a toy before we even see it. Larry

I am really very excited by this news and the promise of more, exciting things to come from Yamato! But, lets keep in mind...this VB-6 Koenig Monster is likely to cost as much as a 1/48 scale VF-1 because of the sheer size and complexity of the design. So, lets go into this knowing this and not start another whole slew of threads bitching about the price....if you want it, you will pay the price. If not, then dont buy it, but dont begrudge those of us who want this thing. Larry
