Please forgive me for asking if this is already common knowledge. Is Yoshiki Fukuyama the one who provided the voice for Basara?

So Graham, any pics of your re-painted VF-17 yet?

My bad for not reading the posts more carefully. Thanks.

Someone in this thread once posted a website that lets one email large attachments. Does anyone remember the URL of that site? Thanks.

Somehow girlfriends/wives/significant others always have "interesting" things to say about Macross. We should come up with a list and vote for the best quote.

This is what happens after both Bandai and Yamato decided to abandon Macross...

Be nice.... Anyways, Hicks, based on reports from the Wonder Festival 2005, it looks like Yamato's Macross toyline is coming to an end, at least for now.

You don't have to pay US taxes ONLY if your annual foreigh earned income is less than US $80,000. For more info, go to official IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p54/index.html

wow, didn't know someone on this board is living in Macau right now. Which toy store in Macau are you buying the VF-1S from?

Does anyone know what the quality of the Chinese translations are like? Better or about the same as the English ones? Thx.

http://www.sonypictures.com/intl/cn/kungfuhustle/site/ The movie is out in Hong Kong already, but it won't be released in the US until March. And who knows what Columbia might end up doing with it. The film is made by the same people who created Shaolin Soccer. Reviews have been positive so far, but has anyone actually seen the movie?

When you say pre-built kit, do you mean it won't require any assembly?

Wow... the toy looks huge. Can you fit a 3" action figure into the cockpit?

N. Portman and I once took the same class back in college. She really didn't stand out. Just like any other person. I guess make-up can transform a person completely.

I think Graham said he was going to attend the show. Anything interesting? Here are some pictures: http://afigures.com/g/?mode=album&album=20...po&dispsize=800

How was the event? Here are some pictures of the Yamato Macross products. http://afigures.com/g/?mode=album&album=20...xpo+Show%2FTomy I wonder if that's the final design of the VF-0 Ivan

Doesn't the scene in which the Alien Queen was chasing after the human remind anyone of Jurassic Park?

I don't think this has been posted yet. They had all four Alpha fighters on display. http://afigures.com/g/?mode=album&album=2004_SDCC%2FToynami

I can't agree with you more. Wish my relatives think the same way each time I go back to HK.

He will definitely find tons of valkyries in Hong Kong.

And Simon Yam's name is not mentioned anywhere. Too bad. He's a wonderful actor.

Those poor transformers. Let's hope Graham will never lay his fingers (or toes) on them

That's right, "Ghost in the Shell: Innocence" by Mamoru Oshii is one of the nominees this year. If I'm not mistaken, this is the very first Japanese animated film to ever compete in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France. Quite an accomplishment. Anyone seen the film? Is it any good? Thanks.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the VF-17D, which is definitely not a trainer.

Hey, maybe someone can try to customize the Kicker figure into a valkyrie pilot. Wish I have the skills.
