Happy Birthday Jo.. and Happy birthday Macross!

I kinda like that version of 'all along the watchtower'.. and as for the final 4 (maybe 5 is you count starbuck?!?... maybe) yeah i saw it coming ut it still had a hit, The way the set us up fo rr those last few scenes was awsome. Lee's closing speaches were perfect and the battle between father and son is reminicent of the pilot and S1. I think it was a textbook finale... in the sense of, "if you want to know how to end a seseon. Watch this!"

You mean you haven't finished yet!?! How could you?!? watch them now!!!!!

Almost forgot.. now that Mr March is upto speed i can post the only halfway decent pic i could find of the beast.

If i'm reporting old news here, somebody slap me. I stumbled across this fan movie site for that "other show".. Its quite a nicely done site and there is a trailer which is an impressive piece of work, but ultimately, very shadow chronicles... a few liberties with the designs too (although this may have been legal mumbo jumbo at work). Check it out and come back and poke fun....(kidding.. - credit to them for trying.) http://www.robotech.united-earth-group.com.../view/1111/283/

I may get flamed for this but... IMHO you are not a true Macross collector/toy nut unless you own at least one 1/55. There! I said it!

i watched those last 2 episodes (well, the last one really) about 10 times and i was still giddy/shocked/amazed/satisfied/in awe. They could have (although i'm glad they didnt) ended nit right there and i would have been ok. sad. but ok. The wait is a killer.

wait for it..... wait.... (can anyone else feel the anticipation pouring off Mr March?). Did you check out the old school vipers? they are a more reasonable 7" size. ANd not too long to wait for some new BSG goodness... friday in fact!! (ok, its only a wee small bit ) Please post your thoughts when u finish the season, as its great to read your BSG virgin reaction to new stuff. ( i mean that well.. i am excited for you - NO... NOT LIKE THAT! )

I've never seen Gundam, nor do i really want to, but after looking at these PG kits a bit... i really want to build one! They look sooo nice. Does anyone happen to know if they is something like PG kit for a Patlabor? i would kill/mame/garott/trip-up/hurt whoever i had to for a PG Patlabor in a decent size

Yup, nice stuff squidd my man. very nice.

They are nice aren't they. I have 5 now, but i think i may pick up some more so i can do the squadron pose from the original show. By the way peeps... TV.com lists RAZOR mini-sodes as starting this friday (but i'm, sure you all already knew that)... WOOHOO...5 days and counting....

even with some extortionate shipping, its still cheaper than most stores.. especially for the urban camo. I like to 'window shop' while at work so i'm always checking out the known dealers such HLJ, Toy-wave, etc... most charge around $100 before shipping costs. It may be Evilbay, but for just over $100 shipped! Maybe i'm being naive, but my eyes and wallet almost jumped when i saw this one. sorry if i wasted anyones time.

Just found the original blue/red GBP too. DAMN i hate this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...QfromZR8QQfviZ1 Item number: 150166637901 again, since i have time to kill, i thought i'd leave this here in case anyone fancies some cheap 1/48 GBP.

No offence dude, but the A7 babe 'o' the month sucks....

LOL! i was waiting for you Mr jenius...

Seriously! I thought some of you guys would be all over this!!!! Please let me state for the record that i have nothing whatsoever to do with this auction.. just thought it was cheap and since i cant get it, someone should.

Quick heads up to all you Mw'ers that love the GBP armour.. I was lookin to get this myself but since i already spent about $1000 on valks this month, i thought i'd give it a miss (aint that always the way? you find something you have been looking for and cheap.., then u have no money to buy it!). Anyway.. check it out. I think its a good deal cheaper than any other site i've seen. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=005 Item number: 150165405607

I found them on the Evilbay, they were listed individually but i got the seller to combine the shipment, so it cost me about £15 for the lot. Good catch eh? I usually luck out on the sweet deals too. in case you're interested, it was 2x blue sq. (the light ones) and 1x sliver spar (weathered/battle damage). Keep an eye out the UK bay, they still popup at around £5 from time to time.

Oops.. my bad. Still a nice thought though........ I honestly hope we have something more substantial on the horizon than a bunch of re-paints (except maybe Minmay's guard -that i would buy). A full overhaul of the 1/48 mechanics with more diecast would be okay.. We already know of the '21' but what "new" items can we expect... Less re-paints Yamato, more new stuff... and a helluva lot more R&D on the quality side. thankyou.

Correctamundo! I thought it was a half decent original sci fi movie. Lovely aerial shots of the yorkshire dales..

Hey there big F, fancy giving us a 'prod' in the right direction for these recasts?

I dont remember hearing about 1/55 recasts. Where can i find these fine items?

I'm afraid there are no 'cheap' accessories for the 1/55's.. The VF-1S reissue (the same series as yours) had a pack with the fast packs (see the review link i posted in the other thread a while back), but thats it until you get into the realm of Takas. These puppies are expensive. Why? Because they're the daddies of macross. Check out http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/takatoku.htm to see what there was.. I dont think the old GBP and fast packs fit on the reissues anyway, nut i could be wrong on that one. Your best bet is to find someone that is willing to part with reissue FP's.. good luck....

Hey Graham, with all the board traffic on the 25th Anniversary Valks, the YF-21, and the 'nora', we could do with a new toy to shout about... the threads for the above mentioned are getting huge, and starting to talk more about repaints... Can we have some juicy gossip please? pretty please? a tidbit of a clue to whats on the horizon? come on.... Yamato must be have some pretty big ideas for stuff to coincide with the release (or scheduled) of Macross F. Throw us a bone here so we can start salivating / arguing over something new...

I thought his role in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was pure genius.... but for some good post SW Hamill, look out for an old british sci-fi called SLIPSTREAM.. its ace.. (not one for the big FX junkies... aircraft nuts will appreciate it tho)
