Doh! I could have used the right arm. I also don't have any of the guns. The picture is just one I found on http://www.mrtwo.net/mr2modproject/toys/orguss/pics.htm to show which robot I got. No box or anything. Still the joints are pretty tight so $2 was good even if I have to display it partially behind something to hide the fact that it is missing parts.

$2 canadian so around $1.80 us. It was in the junk box under the table (where all the non-complete robots were) Now I just have to find another to complete it.

Thanks! This is the one.

I found a large Orguss toy at a toy show yesterday. It is the main one that is light blue/green & turns into at least 3 things. Wings hang off its back in robot mode, it has yellow trim around its neck, the cockpit is in the crotch & the head has a flip up shield. It stands about 9" tall (about the same as a 1/55 Valk). It is missing a couple of parts so I am probably going to try to find a junker to complete this one with. Anyone know what scale this is and other facts? I looked on ebay and only found models and small toys.

Personally, I'd like Star Wars better with no Jedis in it. I think a between series would be cool. Empire up to strength and the start of the rebellion. Vader could be around since it is just a guy in a suit (the voice would probably get a new actor). I guess they could still have Luke in it similar to the way they did the Indy Jones series. Have an older Luke be teaching a class of new Jedi and fade into the story Luke is telling.

Sounds like Fast and the Furious part 3.

Today I found a Galaxy Defender version of the VF-17. It has a grey camo paint job. There are some minor changes like the addition of tail fins like the real stealth fighter has. It is a little smaller than the Bandai verion. Like the VF-1S, it actually is contructed pretty good for a knock-off toy. It comes with a shield and a gun. The cool thing is that the gun securly attatches to the plane mode and the shield can fit on to it and it doesn't stick out at all. While the plane is still fatter than a real stealth, I actually think the plane mode looks better on this toy than the Bandai version. I'll try to get some pictures of it later.

Didn't know about them. Probably have to pick up a set.

Just after Christmas, Unicron got down to $8 at Targets near me.

Sorry to get away from the Alpha..but since HG has the rights to DYRL toys, any chance of them makeing a new set of armor (STRIKE), or some strike cannon parts to use on the current armor sets? I also wouldn't mind a GBP set of armor either.

People that have held it have said it has some weight to it. It could indicate die-cast in it rather than being all plastic.

People should get the hint by now. They have no actual plans to release Zeta. They just like to get people's hopes up by saying it is on the way (Otakon 2 years ago, it was 'on the way'). Then they go back to the offices and have a good laugh at all the fans that are looking forward to it. It might be released in 5 years.

1985 is my personal favorite G film. I wish they would put it out on DVD sometime.

I don't read Green Arrow but having a green boxing glove on the end of the arrow is just stupid.

I got the feeling that maybe the bomb blast was the FBI's way to take Chloe into hiding. They went into the house, went into some safe room as the rest of the house blew up. Everyone thinks they are dead so the FBI can take them somewhere safe without people knowing. Lois could still show up since the rest of the world thinks Chloe's dead.

Skynet knew which targets it would aim the nukes at so it wouldn't put important info on computers in that area, or it had multiple copies of itself so if one part got blasted, the info would still remain. It spread through every computer to prepare for the nukes. Keeping communications jammed and people not in control to try to stop it.

Considering how 3 left of, 4 & 5 are going to have to be the future war. I'd say 4 would deal with the aftermath of the nukes and the the beginning of the resistence. Part 5 would be the end of the war and show the past movies' characters being sent back in time.

OK Why are people saying Toynami is raping Voltron. Besides the price, the new toy looks great. How can you honestly say the old Matchbox version looks better?

A name change wouldn't render all contracts/agreements null and void. If they did, you'd see a lot more companies changing names to get out of contracts. Depending on the wording, Toycom's agreement is probably still in effect.

Considering that Hayao Miyazaki is considered the Walt Disney of Japan, its no wonder that these will get accepted by the general public more than other anime. Besides Shrek, most non-Disney cartoons don't get the vast audience that a Disney production does.

Did I miss something. Anime is huge in America right now. Huge sections of video stores are devoted to Anime tapes/DVDs, racks of manga in bookstores like Waldenbooks, some top games are based on anime (Yu Gi Oh, Pokemon), the majority of cartoons on the air now are either anime imports or influenced by anime (Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans). A Waldenbooks near me even has a section of anime merchandise besides DVDs or books. I don't think anime has ever been more popular here.

Robotech: The Untold Story movie is the movie they made using some footage from Megazone 23. It was test marketed in Dallas and then never released. HG would be happy if it was never seen again but I have seen it bootlegged a few times. Probably the hardest to find RT show/movie. The songs are on the RT Soundtrack.

Macross 7 Dynamite - is a 4 episode sequel to Macross 7. Besides a few things and knowing the main characters, Dynamite can be watched without seeing Mac7 first. Macross Plus The Movie - more or less the OVAs edited together but there is some new footage and some cut out.

Maybe they should just base the royalty fees based on how well the game sells. Lower amount of games sold=higher fees. All that really matters is how the public likes the game right? If the companies did a good job making the game, more people would probably want to buy it. Maybe take the reviews into consideration but don't totally base the fee's on it. I personally hate football games so I would probably give it a lower rating then I would some action game. It might be the best game ever for football but if I don't like them, don't expect the best marks.

Macross 2012 (something like that). It takes place right after DYRL and is pretty much just a bunch of music videos. It has Minmay's final Earth concert and then her, Misa, & Hikaru jump on the colony ship and leave. Also is the US dub of the first episode of SDF: Macross. They then changed direction and did Robotech. It is on the extras disk of Robotech DVD box 1.
