    Hi-Metal R

    Does it really come with a tiny Hikaru in pilot seat? That's what the BBTS description says.
  2. I say Roy's 1S should always come with an extra Hikaru figure. I am guessing Bandai may Release a Super 1S with Hikaru figure. That's my prediction. They did release a Kaki DYRL, and a SDFM Max. It seems they will release both a SDFM Kaki, and a DYRL Max, going by that order of mixed releases. You're probably going to hate this... but i think Macross releases should now start with brownies, lol, and then go up the ladder.
  3. Agreed, Roy should have gone straight to hospital. With that said, blaming Roy's death on Hikaru, for having the hots for Minmei, degrades Hikaru's character. In the TV version Hikaru never borrowed a valk illegally to have a joy ride with anyone. Hikaru wasn't perfect in the TV series, but he wasn't a as careless either. In DYRL, When Hikkie uses the trigger in the VT-1, and he seems surprised that is unarmed... Both the TV and Movie versions are timeless jewels, and while the Movie deals a more gritty way for Roy to die, I still prefer the order of chronological events of the TV series.
  4. I do have to take a step back and say Roy might have being jaded, yeah. His alcoholism was prob the way to put it all in a vault, and keep it out of mind. With that said, in my eyes, he never ever gave up on his team, or diminished the importance of their loses. Roy had one job to do, and he did it until he died. Oh, this reminded me why i dislike some of the events in DYRL. It sort of irks me how they sort of put blame on Hikaru for Roy's death. Hikaru's irresponsibility opens Roy to his faith. I've never said this before, but i truly prefer how things take place in the TV series, versus the movie. I think that was Roy's actual spirit, not an impostor. Can anyone contact Whoopie Goldberg please?
  5. Hmm, weird, I thought Roy commented here about 20 min ago. Maybe it is a fake Roy, who knows.
  6. If you are not dating Claudia anymore, would you mind if I...
  7. I disagree. Roy got shot when he was concerned about Max being singled out by Miria in combat. He let his guard down while he was overseeing Max's retreat. I think by this time, Roy was seasoned enough, and he could have a personal relationship, while in the middle of a war. Just me.
  8. That is the perfect size! I was worried it would be too big. If you flip it[mirror it], I want one. Meaning, the glued part should be on the graphic side, so i can place it inside the window, facing out. Thanks @Anasazi37
  9. No, that exact skull 001 you you applied on the window of your black car, just mirrored, so it can be applied from the inside. My current kite sticker is 4.45 inches in diameter. How wide is your sticker? If it is 4.45 inches wide in diameter, or less, it would be perfect.
  10. It is such a small private production run. I hope not.
  11. See i knew that was deceiving, and I thought about mentioning the barge, but I wasn't sure. Jabba's barge is so cool! I really like the skull 001 logo, but if i can use it inside [inverted or mirrored?] Since it is basically an outline, it wont block visibility on the right side rear triangular window. I for one, i am interested @Anasazi37. I also have an unused static kite sticker from back then, but i am afraid to let it go. That DYRL Kakizaki looks great, but i want to keep it MAcross TV, and save some money. I did have to get the DX DYRL 1S Hikaru.... It is a soft spot of mine.
  12. Yeah, that one i have transformed, and i carefully applied some stickers on it. I am still sad i could not buy Graham's back then. I would have two now [EDIT IN] : What is the Falcon sitting on? So sorry gents, i didn't mean to hijack the thread. Back to DX VF-1 news.
  13. Shoot, except for the low vis! So sorry! The armored stealth under it is for sale though! I wasn't planning on selling any of these, but the current covid situation, made me change my mind. i don't think i'd get mutch for the ver 1 1/60, but at least someone will display them properly.
  14. This is basically what i am selling. I have 4 piles around the house. What i am selling, what i am keeping, and unsure.
  15. I see a HUGE Falcon there! Mine is on display, but it takes a whole lot of space. I am also reorganizing things...

    Hi-Metal R

    This group shot needs more cowbell... or Tomahawk... Maybe this is a better angle.
  17. Yeah Maximum visibility indeed. My Macross kite sticker is actually just static, not glued. I do prefer it in the interior, as it is protected from the elements. Plus i do prefer how understated it is with the dark tint. I would def use one of your skull 001 stickers inside if it was inverted. Glued is ok, since i plan on keeping this car until it dies. Then i'll fit another boxer engine in there, and drive it some more.
  18. Is it on the inside of the window? I still have the good ol' Macross kite in my car. I got it in these forums, and 3 of my cars have worn this kite. Maybe i could use a skull 001 on the opposite window! My car shares the red white and black Hikkie colors :P
  19. I need a job like yours... I am only a sleep tech. The pay is meh, specially since our Pt's have to be screened for covid19, before we can have them. Work completely stopped, and now we are slowly opening up again. We all have to wear masks, and i have to say the moral is not great some days. I am somewhat lucky, since i am not in the ED/ER or the ICU. Much respect to those heroes. I am only the guy who connects wires to patients, record the studies, and treat them if the are (OSA)sleep apnea positive. I live in TX and we have are having lots of patients in our hospital. Sadly, I think the super slow response from our leadership played a devastating role in this pandemic. Trump calling this pandemic a hoax for weeks, plus his tweeter messages supporting those who thought wearing a mask was against their rights. Having rallies in the middle of a pandemic and not enforcing masks, was something completely obtuse, and careless. I hold no alliance to no parties, and I am not going to start a political fight here. The fact of the matter is, science is the reason we have anything in this world. We must always follow science to solve problems. I have no idea why we didn't enforce the quarantine, and we why we opened too soon. Science warned trump about not letting the curve of infection lower sufficiently down, before opening. Science told trump to test more, and start contact tracing. Now it is impossible to contact trace, since we have way too many infected. Trump wont listen and drives me crazy. He tried to discredit science(Dr Fauci and others), and now he found a "Doctor" who believes in spirit sex? Demon sex? I mean, SERIOUSLY? I feel sick by just typing this. Closing our pandemic offices overseas was also an incredibly stupid move. Ok, i am sorry. I am terribly frustrated.... Back on topic, here is another DX pic. Those are the best hands of any production valk to date.
  20. I know I may sound cheesy or too sentimental, but I had to say it. I am glad you can see it too. My experiences in other forums are mostly good, and I can't complain. The love i see here though, it is pretty spectacular. I had a long night at work... Everyone is wearing masks, and the morale is not great. I work for a hospital, and my job has become more challenging with this f****** covid19. I don't even want to go to work anymore, if i am honest. Just a bit down right now, and you guys are lift me up. You all take care out there, and use your masks. The war is not over yet.
  21. In a way, we are all sort of Kawamori's museums. I am just glad i found you all, so we can celebrate and share these works of art. This is, bar none, the best forum I have ever been a part of. I just want to say thanks to Graham, Shawn, and the rest of our members. I love you guys
  22. This. Also, another gratuitous pic for the thread.
