I haven't tried making the gunpod noise yet, but I shall work on it.

Thanx man!

It's so hard to be patient. And I'm afraid they'll release the 1D right alongside the YF21. And I'll be forced to CHOOSE! NOoooOO!

The illegitimate child thing was just a rumor in the TRASH manga, he wasn't actually Max's son. Just as there's no real evidence that Max was ever fooling around on Milia. The official explanation for their strained relationship was conflicting ranks, Milia wanted to be equal to, not ranked under Max, so she left the Military & took the highest civillian position she could find, i.e. Mayor. And the conflicts of the two positions is what put the distance between them.

Okay, I originally thought their problems stemmed from their careers. Glad the expert has clarified the situation. Everything's okay now. I still think Macross 7 is boring, but I don't hate it. Woo-boy! I was pretty terrified there for a minute. Max is my image of the ideal-soldier, and all around swell guy. The thought of him being a womanizer just about ruined my day.

Okay we have the 1/48 VF1J, 1A, and 1S. In all different colors. Why no 1D? Does anyone know if this is in the works? I don't want to buy some conversion kit when I can buy the real thing.

(What's a stampede valkyrie?)

MAX MESSED AROUND ON MILIA?!?! Okay now I REALLY don't like Macross Seven. Portraying Max as a womanizer is just stupid. Really really stupid.

...I'd like to win a 20,000 dollar Yamato shopping spree

You have a point. The same thoughts have crossed my mind. But in the long run, not having the exact actual TV fastpacks when you want them makes your life suck that much more. It may not be that big of a suck, it may be only an ant-suck, or a termite-suck, but it still sucks. An integral part of collecting Yamato is the pretentiousness of it all.

Oh it's okay, I don't feel BAD or anything. *hahah*

BUMP!

i'm glad i racked up on the super 1J's when i did, all my TV valks are sporting TV FP's right now.

Lucky.

Well. If I had the TIME, I'd play the hell out of this game. But, having a wife and kid sort of permanently stifles your ability to play MMRPGs.

maybe it wouldn't be fair that only tv mila and max had them so they thought "may as well let him have it too"?

tv Super Valks makes sense as money saving too. Why buy a seperate option kit when you can just let the person decide for themselves whether they want space use valkyrie one for atmosphere?

I can totally see the logic for this for gbp too: there might be people who want vf1a gbp for cannon fodders and things you don't see onscreen. (When is yamato going to release orguss valkyrie armor? ) Totally ignoring that in the tv series a character did not use this. When you think about it in the story he wasn't even supposed to be using the gbp so it really makes little difference to the fan.

Personally I would like them to do tv roy (no DYRL arms and grey flightsuit) and then a tv vf1s hikaru (again flight suit) with tv fast packs. For a lot of people, maybe it might look different enough to a DYRL roy, but it would be less boring than reissue of something everyone already has. People could then say I own all the tv line: from CF, to max+milia, to Hik 1J with GBP, and true tv roy and hikaru in his prime as skull leader.

I've often thought about that as well. (Having a COMPLETE TV set meaning, yes, Hikaru in Roy's VF, etc.) Maybe someday when I'm rich with oodles of cash to blow I'll work on doin' that. It'd take some cusomization, but hey, what are retirement homes for!

Can anyone tell me what some good display stands are for fighter-mode? Cheaper is better also. If you actually have some; that's even better.

Muchos Gracias!

Hey Vinnie: Good luck in Iraq! If you're in the military, then I'm proud of you, man! Especially if you're managing to find time to watch Macross. That's awesome.

Thanx Kensei! I'm gonna' check it out right now.

Edit: *later that night* Looks like Twin Moons sold outta' whatever they had. Darn!

I'm probably alone in this, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that they develop the end-all Macross game for PS3. AND, I hope Koei is hard at work designing a totally new, totally unique Dynasty Warriors for the PS3. Which reminds me... I have a samurai warriors 2 on it's way to my house that I preordered a long time ago. I'm sort of pist though, I've read reviews on it and everybody hates it.

In the Macross series you never see Hikaru in his white and red VF1J with a fastpack on. So why does Yamato have a fast-packed 1J Hikaru in 1/60 and 1/48 scales? This has always puzzled me. I could understand them making a GBP Hikaru. But fastpacked? I'm missing something here.

I haven't been able to contact Takatoys. Either that or he's choosing to not read my mails!

Anyway, can somebody direct me to some good stick-on stickers for 1/60 stuff? Thanks, like always!

I want a VF0A. Bad. BUT, I'm sort of poor. So does anybody know who is selling these for the cheapest around Mworld? I'm forever in your debt for the help! Thanx all.

what does the recast head look like?

I'm already wishing the next volume was out...

AC needs a complete, and total, overhaul. It's a really cool concept, but never do you feel like you're in a huge robot. The graphics on the levels are pathetic. And this is coming from a once AC fan. Make the robots actually seem big by putting some actual detail into the levels and AC will once again be cool.

Edit/Add: those pics of AC4 aren't impressing me

Well, I definitely am for anything that would cause Yamato to realize that their prices are exhorbitant. I love their stuff but the cost is ridiculous.

I have!
