hmm I remeber 1998/1999.. I discovered this site while surfing on a computer during my boring internship.. i was 19 years old.
Then I saw all the art, toy pictures and scans of everything about Macross on this site and I felt like a kid in a candy store.
The forum was pretty active those days. It ran on a different forum engine.
Many peeps who havent got alot of money bought a joon or jetfire(in my case) because the only full transformable valkyrie was the old banday/takatoku that went $500,- + over the counter on ebay. Joons were like $60,-.
But all in all Macrossworld was my first introduction to forum discussion boards and it was/is fun to share thoughts with other macross fans in the world!
I once recall a dude here on the forum that owns a toystore in Hong Kong and many members here order the latest stuff from him.. like the yf-21, vf-11 etc.. toyline.
Btw the homepage of Macross world is practicaly unchanged which is nice.
