  1. This is a really, really fantastic idea. I just finished re-watching Macross for the first time in years and really found myself bothered regarding how humanity could recover from such a massive environmental disaster as the end of Space War One.

    These personal stories are really cool.

  2. I haven't done much sci-fi modeling as of late, but I did just finish this:

    1/700 HMS Invincible, 1914:

    Working on a fictional "what if" of the USS Lexington, as a battlecruiser:

    I tend to do ships. I'm thinking I'll try my hand at a Macross, maybe the Hasegawa 1/4000 DYRL kit?

  3. Ep I has Qui-Gon and Maul. What does Ep II have that's good at all?

    ...the last five minutes. Seeing the Grand Army loaded on to Acclamators was cool. Having the Republic theme transition into full Imperial March? Incredible. Bail's epiphany at what he had been supporting? Fantastic.

    Beyond that, yeah. Junk.

    I admittedly squee'd a bit with the new Rogue One trailer. It feels like Star Wars in a way I haven't experience since ROTJ.

  4. Also - when I get the VF-1A Hikaru / FP set back:

    - Broken heat shield (SECOND ONE)

    - Has the ungodly annoying QC issue where one wing flap doesn't want to stay on.

    - One of the armor legs evidently wouldn't stay on.

    - Missing 1/2 of the nuke load. It was uh, expended. Probably thrown out accidentally.

    - Little antennae thing on the "back pack" doesn't seem to be there.

    Once I get it back, you can have the set for fifty bucks. If you want to offer less, let me know.

  5. All,

    It's been a LONG time since I have posted on this site. I've long since moved on from Macross and toy collecting mostly due to a LOT of changes in life. I've been selling some items on eBay and have the following that's left. I'm selling cheap because a lot of these are not 100% complete, panel lined, and well, I just want the space back...

    OLD 1/60 Valks (removable legs:)

    VF-1S Strike

    VF-1A Hikaru

    VF-1A Cannon Fodder/Strike Frankenstein build (Made this in Gainesville, FL with an old member, Katana)

    VF-1J TV Series Super Valk

    You can have them all for $50 + Shipping.

    Macross Plus: 1/72 scale.

    YF-21 OLD - Original Release. The box is DESTROYED. Toy is OK. Little yellow antennae-thing has been glued on from repeated breaks.

    YF-21 Fast Pack

    YV-19 VFX-2 Game edition - Complete. Some wear. Box is OK

    VF-11 FP - Released after the fiasco that was the first VF-11 release. No brittle hips.

    Take them all for $80 + Shipping.

    Transformers Generation 2 Reissue:

    Complete as far as I can tell. Inferno has not been out of box.

    Ultra Magnus

    Grapple

    Inferno

    Take them all for $30 + Shipping.

    Bandi Gundam action figures -

    Just have a duffle bag full of these things. Most are complete, some aren't.

    Get them out of my closet for $20 + Shipping.

    I'm sure I could get more on eBay for these, but after getting into an argument with a buyer for "As-is. This thing is good for parting out and that's it." on a 1/48 VF-1A and FAST Pack set that sold for FIFTY dollars, I just don't want to deal with it.

    Paypal is best so that if there are problems with the items beyond these descriptions, you know you can get your cash back. If you want pictures, I'll take them.

    Hell, if you buy them all, you can have the WHOLE SHEBANG for $120 plus shipping. I just want my closet back.

  6. You can't have them, they're mine. B))

    The one on the left I designed as a "heavy viper" so it has lots of silly missiles and extra guns on it.

    This is the closest thing to instructions that I can give you. I built mine off my friend andrew's exploded view. You'll need a little bit of lego experience to build one.

    Edit: Whoops, looks like J.T. beat me to it.

    P.S. Here's a picture of my 5 vipers lined up. http://flickr.com/photos/grandadmiral/2695...57606335930037/ You can browse through my flickr account to see individual photos.

    P.P.S. Here's a link to the Chieflug flickr group where you can see a whole pile of various photos of Vipers as well as the layout from Brickcon. http://flickr.com/groups/828545@N23/pool/

    Dude, I would kill for instructions, or some sort of "how to" on that "Steam Viper."

  7. Operation Anchorage was fun, but woefully short. I do want to note that I completed it at level 20, though, so it was stupid easy.

    Gauss rifle is cool as hell, but you can't repair it yourself. Oh, and the armor you get out of the game is glitched. You were supposed to be able to repair it with conventional power armor, but that's not the case. However, it has something in the range of a million health.

    Overall, fun, but I wish it wasn't so.. linear.

  8. I hate hate HATE the targeting system's wonkiness, however...

    ...I did get used to it. The graphics are awesome. The gameplay is awesome, and yeah, finding new, creative ways to kill Stormtroopers is by far, some of the most fun I've had on the 360. I even found the whole Star Destroyer scene fun. I do hope that the developers make a sequel, and try to iron out the one issue I had with it. I'd love to see this engine employed again.

  9. I'm on my first console, personally, after buying one a good year and some change ago...

    Still, I don't care for the console wars. I'm looking forward to the 360's new arsenal of games. Oh, and, lynch me, but I never had any love for the MGS series.

  10. Considering Henkei Thundercracker costs the same (more or less) as aussie retail for deluxes + shipping, eh, its not that much money. Sell some of your unwanted toys to buy him or something. That's what I did.

    Acid Storm is pretty awesome considering he's a seeker representing a character from a G1 episode, and Hasbro paying tribute for a member of the fandom. I thought fans liked it when companies didn't act like faceless coporate entities?

    Agreed. I was frightened when they first released previews of Animated around when the movie came out. So far, I've been nothing but impressed.
