I am sure several collectors here can provide you with the pic you need....but if no one has replied by the time I get home from work, I'll take a pic and send it to you....

In the meantime, enjoy one of the greatest Macross merch commercials ever made!...

Holy crap you're right!!! That commercial is rad & how have I never seen it before!?!
Also that poster is DOPE!!!

Anyone that has the GPB-1S Armor set, can I get a clear picture of the sticker placement guide on the box?
All the pictures I'm finding online of that part of the box aren't the greatest.

I got a VF-1S Strike off Ebay a couple years ago & looking through the past pages, I'm not quite sure which variant I have. It has Bandai markings....

with smooth head lasers and a visor sticker that has a more of a blue than I have seen on other Strikes.


I don't think it was a repainted Strike (even though it was touched up by the previous owner) as there doesn't appear to be any yellow underneath the red paint where it's scratched.

I didn't mind the Wolvy at the Mansion then cutting to the woods. Obviously some time had passed for him to get from the mansion to Alkali Lake (which I believe is where the camp was located?...or I could competly be way off).

My problem was Megs starts causing havoc in San Fran and the X-men arrive using the X-Jet, which as we all know is super fast! But how the hell did Angel fly across the country in time to swoop down and save his dad? Last I knew, Angel couldn't fly at sonic speeds until he was "upgraded" to Archangel.

That was really the only plothole I really had trouble with.

I LOVED the OVA of Lodoss War!

The TV series, left me w/ something to desire...but the OVA rocked!

-RF

Slightly OT here. Do you guys think this is worth getting?

I would say so. These sets are becoming a hell of alot harder to find to. Which reminds me that I need to pick up one lol

-RF

Oh that's just beautiful!!

But at the price and the fact that I just completely SUCK at making/painting models, that leaves me out

-RF

That was awesome!

I used to be around here pretty frequently around 2000 or 2001 or so (when ever the Transformers series RID was on the air), due to a laps in my TF collecting.

Then I kind of dissapeared, then the board changed and I couldn't remember my old user name or password, so I rejoined.

-RF

These are an easter egg on one of the DVD's in the boxset. Can't remember exactly how to access it though.

Funny stuff.

-RF

Oddly enought, I just saw this yesterday in my local comic shop and leafed through it to see what the hell it was.

Didn't pick it up though as I didn't have enough cash on me.

-RF

DAMN!! I remember this cartoon! Only a little though. I was more of a fan of The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.

-RF

Very cool!!!

Just got my Aquarion Attack Type today. I didn't get much time to evaluate the toy entirely due to work and many other things that take up my time. So I didn't get any time to do a review. For now, here is a photo I took of it along with the original Aquarion: CLICK HERE

As far as the joints are concerned, they're no different from the original Aquarion.

DAMN I wish I had the cash to pick both of those up!!!!

Looks like the 1/40 Nikick (alt version) and the 1/40 Orguss II?

-RF

HOLY FREAKIN CRAP!!

-RF

Orguss mecha are still my first love. I think I like them so much because as I grew up in the 80s, I came across a ton of really fantastic SF illustrations for paperbacks by artists like Chris Foss, Chris Moore... and the BEST (IMO), Peter Elson. See here for a small gallery of his works.

"PE" as he signs off on his paintings managed to inspire with strange organic shapes and strongly evocative graphics and alien lettering.  When I saw my first Orguss toys, MAN! It was like see a part of Elson's art come to life! Simply out of this world.

Drifand...you know I still hate you because of your Orguss collection!

I have a 1/40 Orguss which was in a store window or something before I got him, cause he's all sunburnt. And I also have the pride & joy of my collection...my perfect 1/40 Nikick w/ unapplied stickers and a PRESTINE box as well

I also have a small Nikick knockoff that I had when I was really little.

-RF

Hmmmm....did they manage to get the legs right this time round? Cause it was quite impossible for regular Aquarion to stand without the stand.

With this one, you're suposed to be able to stand it and pose it w/o the use of a stand. What they did to improve the joints, I don't know.

-RF

Of COURSE this would be released when I have no cash to spend on it!!! *banging head on desk*

Rider Faiz comes from the Japanese Toku show Kamen Rider Faiz.

He's one of my fav Toku heroes, and it's his helmet that I'm wearing in my Avatar.

-RF

HOLY FREAKIN CRAP ON A STICK!!!!

I am just floored on how truely badass that is!!!

After looking at it more, it looks like he combined the designs of GaoFaiGar & Gensic GGG.

I'm just wondering how big it is, and how long it took to make it.

-RF

I don't think they did.  Maybe that's a use for all those extra ML Black Panther figures that are sitting on the shelves.

That's what I was just going to suggest. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks the Black Panther head is almost a dead ringer for the Batman in that scene.

-RF

Oh those wakky Germans w/ their forklift training videos & love of David Hasslefolf.

Talk about a training video that was slow to start! At the end it was like watching a classic Drivers Ed. head roller lol

-RF

LMAO!!

That was RAD!!
