I said it looked fragile. I never said it was designed for children. As for the children breaking it - that was in response to a poster who stated that it would be great if he got the toy when he was a kid. (I.E. it is the Starscream he always wanted). That's why I said a kid would break it. That's my opinion, take it or leave it.

No, I'm not. Care to put anymore words in my mouth? Or shall I make another post stating my opinion so you can nitpick? Seems like that is all you do.

Are you completely ignoring parts of my posts on purpose? I said HG did a lame job splicing the series together. At what point did I say HG did a good job with Robotech? Please, tell me.

dude.. you are so right! I'm going to go watch my HG version of tora tora tora now... only in this version, instead of being about the japanese bombing of pearl harbour, they cut in scenes from armageddon, because armagedon is KEWL and they made it about fighting aliens.. SHADOW aliens, because aliens are super cool and shadows are like, all scary and stuff, so shadow aliens are like, scary cool. dude, it so rocks! 422241[/snapback] Last time I checked the only scenes cropped into the original Macross by HG were from the Southern Cross in a lame attempt to connect the two series. Nice attempt at over the top sarcasm though. I don't know why you started going on about the Shadow Chronicles when I was addressing Macross fans attitudes towards Robotech. Perhaps if you read through my posts in this topic, you would see that I'm not a fan of what HG is doing with the Shadow Chronicles.

I was responding to the person who was talking about how excited they would have been to get one as a kid. I know it isn't for children.

In all honesty, you Macross fanboys are worse than the Robotech ones. So much hate over a stupid TV show. And for the person who said they would look "pathetic" buying RT - you are obsessed with a Japanese animated series from the 80s. You shouldn't be one to talk. =\

I'm one of the younger members here. That's me goofing around in my cousin's expensive replica legionnaire helmet. Too bad I couldn't put the lorica segmentata on as well. :'(

You missed my point. For some reason they decided to make him into a realistic jet, but they screwed up on the conformal fuel tanks on the side of the intakes, and his freaking cannon is on the wrong side. Seems to me like the cannon was a foolish mistake, maybe theres a reason to have the conformal tanks the way they are. And the colors. Like I said, they have grown on me. I'd buy it if it weren't for the hip and shoulder pieces hanging off. Also, if I had this as a kid it would probably have been broken the first day I had it. It doesn't look very durable.

It would have been better if they had gone for either a) uber cartoon accuracy or b) uber realistic version... what we got was a compromise between the two that just looks... well odd.

It looks better painted, but the shoulder and hip pieces that are hanging off are bugging the heck out of me.

Yeah, me too. I've always preferred Skywarp - cool black look. Are they going to reissue the MPC Starscream as Skywarp? Is this confirmed? or just a rumour? 422006[/snapback] Well, they'd be fools not to. They recolored Prime into Ultra Magnus, so why not do the same with Screamer? Easy money for them.

I'm actually kind of glad that I don't like the current MP-03. That saves me quite a chunk of change. I'll wait for the Skywarp repaint. Unless they try and make it look super realistic like Starscream. Then again, I think that his paintjob would transfer into the real world better than any of the others. We'll have to see. Until then, it's Classics all the way baby.

Hmmm... I'm debating whether or not to post mine.

lol hey now, for a 10 year old kid those Destroids where the shiznit. They were the only Macross toys that I had for years.

I'd definately buy at least one iteration of the 1D, and I only own one other Valk! (Although I'm thinking about getting Focker's in the near future, and the Max and/or Milia super 1J if they are re rereleased.) That has to say something.

Heh, I remember that even after 9/11 I could bum a ride with my friend onto the Minot AFB here in Nodak. Have things changed that much in the last few years? Or they just didn't care because if he had an ID at least one of us had some sort of business there? Cause they never asked for mine.

Dude, you have to take lotsa pictures if you can.

I just got my MP-01 (the re-release for the Asian market) via tfsource.com and I can safely say that while it is the best Prime ever... Yamato 1/48 > MP-01. Both in terms of quality and fun factor.

I'm wondering the same thing. I just want Starscream and Hot Rod... but I want them now!

Nope. That was changed a while back when they couldn't meet the deadlines. the last one is going to be a year away. 417183[/snapback] According to IMDB it's May 2007. Hopefully.

If they include the black gun they had with Ultra Magnus the fans will jump for joy.

I'd pick him up if the gun was black, and his legs were spraypainted silver. That'd rock. I already have MP01 anyway.

The pics are at TFW2005. It isn't coming out until November, I believe. Too bad the phrases aren't by Cullen.

Oops, I forgot about that 2chan thing. When I figured out that they changed the link, I deleted it. Crap.

Uhmmm... read the thread much?
