    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    The YF-19 pilot and the guy with the glasses and guitar both have... well... issues...
  2. That there is a statement that says a lot. I'm out! I'll be back if you decide you would like show recommendations.
  3. A great man once said "the good ole days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems." Its not like you don't know that there's no going back. And you know the world was a mess back then too, just a different kind. A lot of it you never heard about. You want to expand your "happy place" and your requirements make that very difficult. You are looking for a place to vent. While we can't be your mental health expert, we can recommend stuff you may have not seen. That's about it. Try watching Black Lagoon?
  4. And I immediately thought... Shaggy Good to see you back! Been wondering if you were ok or not.
  5. There is absolutely nothing wrong with how you feel. And I believe it is exactly for the reasons that azrael has stated. I grew up watching Voltron. I loved that show. I can't watch that show now. It was made for elementary school kids and totally doesn't apeal to me anymore other than nostalgia. I also 100% agree with Seto Kaiba. And I do not like all the new shows that he likes. I also went through a phase where I watched a bunch of popular shows from the late 70s and early 80s. Gundam was OK. Its a kid's show. Harlok I actually didn't like. The poor girl was in an abusive situation and crying out for help and he constantly blew her off and forced he back into that abusive situation. And his special tactical move is just to ram everything. As for what I could recommend... Your tastes seem very specific. I would say for old school, try Space Adventure Cobra. For something more modern, Yamato 2199.
  6. Now that I think about it... Since it is a game, shouldn't it really be player 1 (red) and player 2 (blue) versions? As far as Miriya, I'm all for knife fight version. They should also throw in a few cases of game tokens.
  7. This is most likely true. Most Macross toys tend to go up in price over time.
  8. I've always wondered this... If the 31AX is just the damaged VF-31s repaired with the 31A parts, then why not just do that foe the toy as well? Easy right? Why make the parts bigger/thicker and cause yourself all these issues? For whatever reason I like swept back wings, not swept forward ones. So I only have VF-1s and VF-25s. No 19s, 29s or 31s.
  9. The short answer is the they operate under a Harmony Gold Robotech license. Therefore the thread ends up here and not in the Toys section.
  10. Oh man! You can't catch a break! Hopefully you two were only given the wrong tracking numbers. I guess we'll all find out in a few days.
  11. At least Lois & Clark survived relatively unscathed during that time.
  12. At least Babylon 5 didn't get messed up in the manner that SeaQuest did. That one was really upsetting for me. I totally dropped that show.
  13. Which leads us back to: after paying out for all the licenses required, does it still make finical sense? I'm sure a lot of us wouldn't mind seeing it made just to find out the aftermath. It would be serious amazing if the did manage to pull it off and make it profitable.
  14. The highest hurdle has always been: can't touch the most popular parts of the IP, and you need to do something mostly original. With those restrictions, you may as well make an entirely new sci-fi movie and not pay any royalties to HG. Saves you money and legal headache. Can someone make it worth paying the royalties and be successful? I suspect that would be extremely difficult.
  15. So Sunrise has given me some trauma in the past. No Joke. Ever since they aired Gundam: G no Reconguista I have had a hard time (aversion rather) watching any Gundam show following it. It took me a long time to start watching Thunderbolt and Unicorn. I have really watched anything else.
  16. They don't all just hire T-REX to do all of the design work?
  17. Landing gear out for the landing light? Because it's Landing? Until we see that thing from the top, them canards could be part of the... um, I was going to say "Bulldog Tread," but that wing shape is different. So yet another Tread variant?
  18. I don't remember if it was portrayed in the show, but I do wish they made the wing hard points functional this time around. Seems like a missed opportunity to sell more accessories.
  19. Its ebay. Always be suspicious! It is a new account on ebay. If he is intent on building up his reputation, you'll likely be OK. Their 100% positive reviews went from 45 to 84 reviewers in 24 hours or so.
  20. This is possibly a sign of Bandai's increased commitment or support towards the franchise. They got more invested into Macross now. I guess we all wait and see what becomes of this.
  21. Just going to throw this out there... ChaoticYeti spent a lot of time developing his stand and accessory designs. The fact that this thread exists says a lot about it. That being said, for me, I don't think that anything should be an exact copy of his work. Inspired by is fine. I really hope ChaoticYeti is OK. Lots of bad thing were going on in the world back when he (and other members) stopped visiting the Forum. I'm probably going to order myself some DX A and Arcadia A adapters in the near future. As with everyone else, I'm glad to have this option available.
  22. This is my most recent box I got from Amazon.com. It came in 3 days late as Amazon moved it around their shipping network themselves before handing it off locally to USPS to deliver to my home. Thankfully, no collectables inside. Though, the item didn't work properly and needed to be exchanged.
  23. Most ideal solution: Bigger shelf in a bigger house! If only we could all do that....
