Hey, everyone. I know this should be in the For Sale thread, but honestly I think Macross trading cards pretty much get buried under the toy avalanche in there! Anyway, in case anyone's interested, I have the following up for basically free on eBay right now: Seika Note, Macross Perfect Collection 1, COMPLETED regular cards, 1-180 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Seika Note, Macross Perfect Collection 1, COMPLETED regular cards, 1-72 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Took me hundreds of $$$$ to complete, but I need to raise cash.

Yep, I can do that. I have the second release (non-armored version), opened but never transformed. Shipping to Canada, I assume? Just let me know if you're still in the market for one. Thanks.

Thanks, everyone. I'm friends with Tokyo Hunter so have asked him to peep behind the curtain and see if everything's cool over at OD. I'm sure it's nothing, just a little curious/concerned after emailing for 5 weeks with no reply.

I had a good relationship with their customer service guy. Since I was literally dropping a few hundred $$s every few weeks, he began letting me preorder with just a 40% deposit. Then invoicing me for the balance when items were released and in stock. Worked fine for about a year, then suddenly...no word. Through a buddy of mine, I know the he's still working there, so I don't know what gives. Anyway, I'll work it out on my own...just curious to see if anyone else here might be having similar issues.

Has anyone had any communications problems with Overdrive recently? I paid a 40% deposit for a 1/60 Super Ostrich back in April....and have been emailing customer service for over a month now but with nary a single reply. To be fair, up until October email communication was second to none. Fast, responsive, helpful. Perfect. Then, radio silence, and I have neither cash nor Super Ostrich. Anyone know of anything possibly happening behind the scenes at OD?

Rain as a ninja, is like Justin Timberlake as a gladiator.

Was Wave's Ingram any good? Floppy mess? Messy paint? These ABS/PVC sculpts always look great in promo pics, but often come up short in reality.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
emerson replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I wonder if the GFFMC Unicorn Gundam will feature the matte finish of the earlier GFFMC releases, or the shiny plastic of the most recent GFFMC Z Plus figures. Hoping for the former. Just looks like a higher-end figure that's more worth the asking price.- 5869 replies

I just received my VF-22S Sturmvogel...Is it just me, or is it not possible to attach the gunpods in fighter mode?

Official Bandai 1/60 Scale DX Toy Thread Ver.6
emerson replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Still wondering, armor aside, how does the new "naked" valk compare to the original release. Anything new/improved apart from the neck and head lasers? Call it blasphemy, but I find the armor all too fiddly in appearance. I like the clean lines of the standalone valk in fighter. So I'm thinking about picking up the cheaper, non-armored release... -
Official Bandai 1/60 Scale DX Toy Thread Ver.6
emerson replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Comparing the original "naked" VF-25S versus the one included in the new, armored set, are there differences beyond the head lasers and neck? -
Wait...1/48 VF-19?
-
So both appearances were in dreams? Great! I can save my money and not splure on these dream-scheme Ingrams. I've got to choose my battles...

I remember the times in the early 80's when my father would come back from business trips to Tokyo...he'd open up his suitcase and reveal these sick, giant robot toys in boxes with crazy writing on them. My little bro got a 1/55 Takatoku VF-1J Hikaru. I got a Strike! Can't tell you how envious my buddies from school were. Being stupid kids, however, we beat the crap out of our toys. At one point, we even cut up the boxes and made them into posters haha. Anyway, in my book, no amount of CAD engineering and tampo printing (seen by the eyes of a 30-something year old man) can replace the excitement of a 7-year old boy zooming around with a chunky monkey, with the cold diecast legs and clickety joints and deadly landing gear. Not that I don't have every 1/48 and 1/60 ever made haha. But just saying, we should stop comparing apples to oranges.

Hey, EXO. The M&M pair have the generation 2 fulcy hips. The other dudes have standard issue.

I WISH I had the skills to do this customization work. The customs above are all done by Jung Chao (Jung on these forums, though he rarely posts here anymore.) The VF-1S trio were some of his earlier works, and featured just a few of the technical innovations that he began to incorporate with the help of custom-engineered parts from Fulcy, et al. The trio was originally commissioned by old-timer Jerry Tsai (VF-1X), but I purchased them from him several years ago. The VF-1D is a later custom that I purchased from Jung directly, via eBay. During this "period" of his work, he had begun heavy detailing work in the cockpits, including handpainting all the panels, and including pilots...in this case Hikaru with Minmay. The Super M&M pair I commissioned directly, and they represent Jung's 1/55 custom in its highest form. In addition to his own customizations (weathered paint, Sazabi hands, pilots and cockpits, gunstrap and gunpod, etc., etc.,) it features all the available "after-market" innovations available: Fulcy's A-stance (e.g. "spreadable") hips and feet, Rob's head, Erich's nosecone, Chris' heatshield, etc. I had to source 2 separate Jetfires from eBay...ratty, yellow Jetfires, but complete with armor. I then purchased the VF-1J heads, heatshields, Fulcy hips/feet, etc....then sent all the parts to Jung for his magic. Et Voila! That's what you see in the stead of said ratty Jetfires. These customs were all made before or during the first years of the V1 1/60 from Yamato. Once the feature-laden 1/48's started coming out in 2002, these became the preferred base for the customizers out there. Anyway, all but the VF-1S trio have moved onto other homes now. Hope they're all doing well out there!
-
Hehe, thanks for the shout out! Only the VF-1S trio is left. Now that I see these pics again, I feel a bit of an ache haha. Jung and all the studs who contributed to these customs really did an amazing job transforming old Jetfires into these pieces. Just wanted to add that the hands on the Max and Millia are cast from an MG Sazabi kit.

Looking for the OVA version of the Taisyo police labor from Patlabor. Let me know if you have one. Last one I need!
