Perhaps Yamato should create a frequent buyers program, buy nine 1/48 Valkyries get the next one free .

Welcome to the group. Hope you enjoy your stay here .

Must - resist - urge - to - buy. Ah screw it, I'm buying one once Neova hopefully gets more in stock .

Thanks for the information and the image captures. I especially like the breathtaking pictures from the OVAs .

Crap, seeing that VF-1Sin GBS armor cinched. I will be ordering some armor hopefully soon. Anthony, I hope that I can still buy a set from you.

Can't wait to hear the reviews and analysis on this one.

For information and pictures about this 300 lbs giant check out the 23' Wingspan - 8 Turbines - 300lbs - B-52, Now with 50 seconds of flight video!!! thread.

I personally enjoy the line. You have some of the detail of a decently painted model with some of the ruggedness of a toy . I own a Deep Striker, RX-93, GP-01fb, GP-02 and a FAZZ. As my budget and space permit, I would definitely like to get more such as the Gerba Tetra, Alex NT-1, Zeta Plus (blue) and an Ex-S.

I have yet to see a Lego Andromeda, but they have a huge Space Battleship Yamato (look at the boxes used as stands).

Seeing a close-up of Dead End's head, it kind of reminds of Sunstreaker.

There is a reason for that. The late writer and actor Lorenzo Music not only served as the voice for animated Garfield. He also served as voice for Peter Venkman for a couple seasons in The Real Ghost Busters animated series.

Thanks for your effort. Your work is greatly appreciated.

Nice work on your custom. Call me crazy, it would be nice if Yamato had a plain brown canon fodder version of the VF-1A.

Utterly breathtaking. I definitely want one when the kits go into production.

The first part is dead right. The second part is dead wrong. Do his jackbooted thugs (ex Federal agents fired for brutality, probably) gonna come over and force you to buy the new release? As to the "democracy" part, if you attended Wondercon 2004 and saw the Star Wars programming, you kind of get a scary glimplse into the decision making process over at LFL and ILM into the making of Star Wars Ep3. One segment showed the character design process for General Grievous. The segment showed a bunch of ILM production assistants who spend feavorish weeks on coming up with various designs to this character. The decision making process essentially came down to George Lucas coming in with a rubber stamp to mark the ones that he liked. My hat's off to him that not only is Lucas a writer, director and producer, for all of the newer films, but he owns the resource to make them (ILM, Skywalker Sound, etc). However, film making tends to be a collaborative process with the effort and ideas of others even if one person has a vision. With the original films, Lucas had to bounce idea off folks like his ex-wife, Maria, ex-producer, Gary Kurtz and and ex-director Irvin Kershner. Many fans consider Empire Strikes Back the best film. In fact George Lucas got ready of many people who participated in that project after its completion. As he owns the films and the resources to make them, he will release all six of the films as he sees fit.

How does silk-screening work? I did this stuff in high school and college. Aside from professional businesses that do this for a living, check junior colleges, schools, or community learning centers, for silk screening facilities.

You could try the stencil and spray paint, but I would also look at silk screening, making sure you use the appropriate type of cloth ink.

IMDB explains the alternate versions. Alternate Versions for a New Hope Alternate Versions for The Empire Strikes Alternate Versions for Return of the Jedi Alternate Versions for The Phantom Menace Alternate Versions for Attack of the Clones

Do you have a picture of the vest and emblem you want to put on?

The Jetfire nose is plastic, just the same as the Bandai and Takatoku versions. The red and silver Autobot symbol or the fact that the landing gearing is metal might be confusing you.

Try media conventions like for comics or sci-fi. You may find a vendor or two who will sell a slice of your childhood .

So given how much money we spend on our stuff, how many of you folks have fire insurance?

Yep, that is actress Bonnie Piesse who played Beru Whitesun in AotC and looks like she will reprise her role in Ep3. Bonnie at Star Wars: Celebration 2

Curse SOCs , I own a few. My collection includes the Dancouga, Combattler V, Space Batteship Yamato and the Gaiking Space Dragon. Since I mutilated my orginal Voltes V as a child, I would love to see Bandai release an updated one.

Personally, I prefer the way Alex Ross draws Superman.
