Axelay

My wife thought that I was nuts when I kept on spotting cameos for things. Absolutely loved the Konami code. If you look carefully at the graffiti in one of the train terminals, you'll see "Sheng Long was here." Gonna have to watch it again to continue spotting more things.

Ugh. My VF-25S is suffering from severely floppy hip joint syndrome. I've removed one of the legs and covered the ball joint with 2 coats of clear nail polish, and that didn't help a single bit. What should I try next?

The Honest Trailer up there is brilliant. Totally sums up my disappointment in this movie.

Wonder if Bandai will eventually do Tornado Packs for the renewal version VF-25's...?

I'm thrilled to say that I've finally managed to join the very exclusive club of VF-25S Armored Messiah owners. I can't help but now find myself wanting the Super parts as well... The new one puts the previous one to shame. I don't even know what to do with the original now. Although the armor is fine, the Valkyrie itself is broken in two places - and that's with fairly meticulous care.

I am WILDLY excited about this game. I played the original(s) religiously when I was in college, and even built a few custom graphics mods. Tinkering with the game's rules made me appreciate it so much more than I would have ever expected, and is one of the huge factors which got me into teaching programming. My guys were carrying around rifles with underslung grenade launchers capable of launching HE or stun rounds. I sincerely hope that Firaxis will see that there is a great desire to have the tools to be able to customize certain aspects of the game. I played through the demo, and while it's really short, I enjoyed it a great deal. Of course, the whole first mission is practically on-rails for the newbies who never played the originals. I almost found myself ready to scream at my monitor when I was seeing some of the movement decisions which you're forced to carry out. I turned around and played the second mission my way and walked out with eight dead aliens and zero casualties. Hooah.

Finally got one of these through the recent HLJ sale, and I couldn't be happier with it. One questions, though - when the FAST packs are attached in fighter mode, does the VF-11 have its tailfins extended or retracted?

Broke down and ordered a VF-11B and the sound booster for the Fire Valkyrie. Those prices were too good to pass up.

The Nostromo was a mining tug. The Prometheus is a dedicated research vessel which is probably ridiculously well-funded. It seems to me like the type of equipment between a mining tug and a research vessel is probably going to differ drastically in quality, even if there is a time gap between the two.

Define "fairly reasonable" in terms of armor pack, please?

This was utterly fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing more!

LOL!!! "Hulk smash... dem guts!"

Forgive me if I'm out of line for asking this, but what if we were actually willing to fly all the way to CA just to see May'n? I've contemplated this quite seriously.

Is there any hope of still finding a VF-25S Ozma renewal anywhere without having to resort to eBay? I can't believe that these are going for almost $400 now...

I utterly cannot believe that the Ace Combat 6 flight stick won't work with this game. That pretty much demotes this game from "will buy" to "will not go anywhere near" for me.

Does this game work with the Xbox 360's Ace Combat 6 stick? Just want to be sure...

I'm surprised no one has yet posted the Trigun Cowboy video. Hands down the best one I've ever seen. On Youtube

Got a new batch made and have posted info in the For Sale section. Please take a look if you're interested. Thanks! New batch of decals for 2011

I'll be posting info about these in the For Sale thread once I have them in hand. I'm really aiming for $10 each + $1 for shipping just like I did back in 2005.

Thought I'd share this for the newer members of this community. Back in 2005, I had an idea to create a super high-quality UN Spacy decal for my new Mustang. I didn't want some sticker on the outside of the car - I wanted something which would be placed on the glass on an inside window and would last for years. Here we are in 2011, and I've had a couple of people ask me about doing another run of these decals. It's taken 6 years, but my original is starting to fade just a little bit. Here are some images from the first run. Each of these decals is 4.5" in diameter and is very glossy. Mine has remained applied to my rear windshield ever since I first put it there and has never bubbled or cracked. I once considered doing a low-visibility version of this decal in gray tones, but I never got a prototype created. One more project which I never got completely off the ground was a mockup of a UNS base parking pass. I did have a prototype of this made, but it was the only one which I ever did. It was designed so that people could change the numbers and could add in their own text for the main field (e.g. 05, 66, and AXELAY could be customized). I recently had to have my windshield replaced, and I lost my one-of-a-kind decal along with it. I'm tempted to see if I can get this project back out of storage and make another one of these as well.

I really, really want to know who the animals were battling in this episode. We didn't see a single second of any opposition aside from the big cannon.

Ugh. Now that I'm finally in the market for a Fire Valkyrie, I can't find one in stock. HLJ is on backorder, Amiami is on backorder, and most other places are marking them up a decent bit. Any suggestions?

Where would be the best place (price + shipping) to have one of these sent to the east coast USA? I've slaved like a crazy person building my school's new network this summer, and I think I may just reward myself with a Fire Valkyrie.

I think she flew one in one of the end-of-episode shorts back when she was Gamrin's instructor. Top Gamrin, I believe.

Best. Macross. News. Of. The. YEAR. Give me the D, please, and I will put down a preorder on it right now.
