haha, that's what I do all the time, look, i traded something for this. even though, the collection isn't getting smaller. i think she's starting to count how many things i have, either that, or she is actually moving stuff around when she's dusting. i just use a can of compressed air from time to time to blow any dust away.

finally got around to sticking it on my max 1s. thanks, kev.

hey, got my gbp armor from kevin in 2 days from CA to OH. He shipped Sat., they got here Monday.

You are right, I do remember not having that problem with my DYRL fast packs before I traded them for TV arm armor. Oh well, I keep'em in battloid mode usually anyway

i pretty much gave up trying to keep the arms up with the armor on. i also gave up trying to get my gunpod to fit on the armor as well.

she's nice too. Clark can have them both, right? mmmmmm....

I believe Yamato has stopped production of the VF-1S, so you should start looking for one. The 1st edition had the same problems as the first VF-1A. also, the VF-1S had a crooked skull on the tailfin. The rerelease has fixed the skull logo and it has the updates that started with the Max. The nosecone, the better flaps.

the fast packs aren't evil, the missiles are! here's the problem I always have, as soon as I pick it up, the missiles fall off! bombs away!

rise again from the dead, oh weapons thread! ---- well, the P7 was a bust. seems like it was purposely destroyed before it ended up in our care. and then the years of neglect in a humid room... oh well. we've got alot of seniors in our city that've been turning old guns in when they move, i've told everyone, don't take the gun yet, run the serial # to make sure it's not listed as stolen, and give them my card, i'll come look at it and give'em $50 or so if i want it so it doesn't end up getting destroyed. let's see if i can find some neat guns this way. a lady just turned in her dead husband's semi-auto beretta shotgun because she doesn't want it in the house. man, i would've given her money for that. i'm waiting for the HK P2000 sub compact to come out in .357 SIG. that'll be my next gun purchase. on a different note, I finally got around to doing some tameshigiri with my Last Legend katana. Boy, this thing cuts like a lightsaber! Super sharp right from the factory. so far, i've only done single mats, but i'll progress to double mats soon and see what it does. It's the Last Legend 306 Tsunami. My matching wakizashi is on the way. I'll post pics when I get them side by side. well, not exactly matching, the katana is folded, while the wakizashi is just forged. Since I don't plan on doing anything with the wak, i opted for the cheaper model. it's just going to sit on my desk. I also use Gunbroker alot. I've stopped lately because of the paypal thing. Also, there's really no one watching what people are selling on gunbroker. just becareful what you bid on. i've been looking for hi-cap mags for my brother, and i've seen alot of ILLEGAL imported mags that are being advertised as pre-ban. how are they illegal? well, the gun they were made for came out after the Clinton ban, so the mags are obviously imports. I tried to explain that to my brother because he was going to get them. hopefully, the clinton ban will be gone soon.

don't know about AMEX or anything in Singapore, but I have always heard that you should stay away from anything using a Western Union Transfer. All the crooks/scammers/etc. use it to rip people off because you never know who is on the other end of the Western Union Transfer. Paypal has it's ups and downs. If you're in Singapore, does your bank accept money orders made out in US funds? I don't know if the USPS gives out money orders in other currency, come to think of it, i don't even know if my bank will do money orders or checks in other currency? Usually, most places I buy from out of the country take US funds through Paypal. Someone from Australia just payed me in US funds with a money order, so I assume their banks will accept funds in US currency. ?? I'm currently investigating 4 separate incidents in which people got scammed into cashing checks for some out of the US country business and then using Western Union to transfer money. I mean, here's the gist of the scam. Hi, I'm from so and so company, we cannot set up a US bank account, so if possible, you can collect checks from companies that owe us money, and you cash it, keep 10% and Western Union the rest to us. And of course, all the checks they get are bogus. I mean, oooo, here's a $3000 check, I deposit it in my account, and then drive over to western union and transfer $2700 to so and so in whatever country. WTF? Come on people, if it's too good to be true, it IS! Not to mention, some of these people gave away ALL their important info, like SSN, Bank Account and Routing #s, mother's maiden name, etc. Sheesh! I'm pretty sure there's a few dozen people out there now with your identity. I heard someone out there was trying to do this type of scam with paypal payments. It will never end. I don't sell often, i mainly buy, but here's my paypal info: chowser51@yahoo.com Seller Reputation: (59) Verified Buyers Account Status: Verified Account Type: U.S. Premier Account Creation Date: Nov. 29, 2001 PayPal Member For: 2 years 6 months Other Tips: I stay away from anything with a P.O. Box. If someone pushes it, I tell them, give me your real name and address first so I can send you a letter, when you get it in 2 to 3 days, send me an email with the sentence I wrote in it so I can verify that you are real. If you are legit, you can afford to wait 3 extra days for payment. Never send a m/o or check with no name on it. Any money orders or checks I get, I actually look over it with a magnifying glass to make sure it's not a fake. I usually don't ship stuff out until a day or two after I make the deposit, unless it's someone I've dealt with before or someone who's got a good rep on here. NEVER SEND CASH! I've been seeing more ebay auctions where a seller will accept cash and even tells you to send it in a certified letter. It's still CASH through the mail. If you've got the CASH, you can spend an extra $0.75-$1 to get a money order from the post office. The m/o is cheaper than certified mail. Make copies of any checks/money orders you get and store it. Save your receipts. If you use USPS, and you get ripped off, the post office can help you track it. I and a bunch of us were ripped off by chajah808 way back when, and I didn't keep any of my receipts, so the post office couldn't help me track down that SOB. It was only $35, but that's $35 I could spend on something else. But he better be wary, I'm still trying to make contacts out in Hawaii. There's nothing like having the blues in blue harass you. We know how far the law allows us to do things...here's a ticket for obstructed view, that pine air freshener is blocking your view... hmmm....crack in your windshield? that's an unsafe motor vehicle, it's gotta be towed. i'm sure you've all heard of attitude tickets too. Also, with paypal, watch out for delaying tactics from people not shipping. I always ask, hey, shoot me an email when you ship. If I hear nothing for a week, I send another email, if I hear nothing again that week, I get serious and send an email saying, respond with shipping info/tracking info in 48 hours or I cancel payment. After 30 days, paypal isn't much help. Guy sold me something on ebay for $14, but figured he could get more for it, so he just delayed and delayed, but he had decent feedback, then after 30 days, i hear nothing and then all sorts of negative feedback starts popping up for the guy, so basically, get things settled in the first two weeks. Unless you choose some SLOW type of shipping from overseas, it should get to you w/i 2 weeks tops. UPS and FEDEX ground shipments take about 1 week to get from the east coast to the west coast usually and vice versa. USPS Priority takes 2-3 days. For sellers: might as well pay the extra insurance. 90% of the time you won't need it, but for peace of mind, I'll spend the extra $1-$3 or whatever. The ONE time I didn't use insurance with UPS, my package got to it's destination, somehow during transit, the box broke?? open and one item was taken/fell out. At first, I didn't believe the buyer, but he sent me security footage from his company of the UPS guy coming in with my package, it was busted and retaped badly. I sent the guy another one, and UPS told me, hey, things happen in transit, if you don't insure, we can't do anything about it. If UPS/FedEx come to your door with a package that has obviously been busted up/tampered with, refuse delivery, or open it in front of the deliverer to make sure everything is ok. sorry for the long winded post, incorrect spelling, bad grammar, etc.

after reading about haterist videotaping himself opening packages, i thought, hey, that's a good idea, so now, i video myself opening packages, and when i sell something, i also video myself packing the items, then i put a little sticker over a crease and then tape over it. i use fop or support law enforcement stickers since they are usually harder to come by. now, with usps, i print my own labels, i video myself taping the label on to the box too.

the top shows TV arm armor, the bottom shows DYRL arm armor

lovely pics, you make me not want to sell mine, but i gotta pay for the wakizashi somehow....

thanks to ChristopherB for the strike cannon and my first Hasegawa kit! Valkyrie-Exchange for continuing to feed my Macross addiction and Twin Moons and Blasto Toys for my Trigun habit! many thanks to Shawn and Seiichi as well!

i just threw in the last disc from the robotech discs (sorry, haven't gotten around to picking up the Mospeada discs yet) and there are shots where the alpha has two gunpods, one under each wing.

i always check off the box other and write in human on the census jk, i normally check the Asian/Pacific Islander box. my family is from Burma. so would that make me Burmese? or is the country still called Myanmar nowadays? on the rare occassions that i write someone a traffic ticket, sometimes i have a hard time figuring out what to put in the race box. one time, i just could not figure it out, so i walk back up to the guy and ask what race is he? his mother was half black, half hispanic, his father was half-white, half-chinese, so what does that make him? i told him, well, i am putting you down as white because you look white. he was okay with that. now, my son is half-chinese (burmese, whatever) and the other half is half-white, half-black. my daughter is half-chinese half-white. what would i check off for my son and daughter on the census??? that's why I joke all the time about checking the human box. i too am an abc, i don't get offended if someone calls me chinese, asian, oriental. whatever, i only generally get racial slurs directed at me when i am arresting someone, so it just rolls off, cause in the end, hey, i'm going home and he's going to jail

who knows what is going on, i just want a decently subbed M0 R1 release

here's the only 1/48s I own, a reissue Focker and Hikaru 1J. Focker's got the tv fast packs on with a clear fast pack set, and Hikaru's got Miria's fast packs installed. i really don't like the way the clear fast packs look, so i am probably going to switch it back, too bad I've got 3 more clear fast packs coming in the mail (I was going to buy the M&M set, but I'm kinda tired of the VF-1 line now. got all the 1/60s and most of the 1/55 reissues already). if Yamato ever released a 1A Max-TV in 1/48, then I would probably buy that one so I would have a 1A, 1J, and 1S. wow UN Spacy, nice photo, I really need to sit down and learn how to use my camera. the flash annoys me.

Many thanks to Neova for the 1/48 Miria Fast Packs for my Hikaru 1J!

argh!!!! why must you do this to me???? please put me down for one. oh goody, i'm hopefully in on the next shipment in 2 weeks. can't wait... well, 2 weeks is not that long. hopefully.

see page 7 of this thread, Myersjesse and I posted some pics of our fast pack parts.

here

wtf? are these now sold out everywhere too or what? Fokker MPC Even crazier

it is, i have it on my reissue VF-1J

b-a-d-o-n-k-a-d-o-n-k try here Urban Dictionary nice figures, don't know if i can justify the cost. maybe if they made an M&M figure set for that price.
