505thAirborne

Dam!! I'm 32 and I bow to you for that with the tape deck!! I haven't watched RT or Mospeada/new gerneration in about 8 years now, but after all this discussion of the toys, the series, and what we do & don't like about, I broke out the DVD's (My VHS tapes wore out long ago), I'm 1/2 way through, gotta say, I had goose bumps & chills, totally amazing to see it all again!!

I'll bet the impact was like a sledge hammer, I raced home everyday to tape it on my VCR, for you younger generations a VCR dates before DVR, Tivo or DVD players!!! j/k!! Great old school memories!!

Thanks Eriku!! I've been going back and forth on these VF's for a while, the more i see them, the more I like. Time to start saving some $$$!! Thanks bro!!!

Great quote, I was still in 5th grade when this came out, and its still cool!!!

I missed out on much of the old postings, whats the quality like on these toys? Other than the bent lasers, are they solid or do they seem fragile? I like the VF-25, but I'm waiting for Michel's unit, love the sniper rifle!

The D-Day invasion is a given, the B&W stripes on the Fighters, classic WWII touch. I'm a WWII buff myself. Mospeada, great series!!

I always thought Mospeada or RT New Generation your choice, was a great series. Lots of action, surprises, some silliness. Agreed the episode with the river rafts for transporting aircraft was bit far fetched, as a Legioss & Tread must be heavier than $h*t fully loaded. Its a Shame there was never a true sequel by now. As for the shows premise and concept, Older Anime series out of the late 70's & 80's used a lot of WWII exploits and concepts in their story lines. I always thought of the series with Stick and his crew as something like the French & Dutch underground's in Nazi controlled Europe. Read some books, you'd be amazed the stuff the Underground rebels pulled off, weapons, tanks & aircraft, blowing up railways and assisting the Allied troops during the invasions. And using what ever they found along the way. Playing double spies, secret maps and infiltration missions too. Not much different than the gang finding more Legioss fighters and a Tread, keeping a low profile, striking when needed, infiltrating the old base in the mountains, getting more weapons from the crazy old guys in the desert, and then assisting the Main fleet when they arrived to destroy Reflex Point. Sorry all, I have some free time today and felt like rambling a bit, plus I have a cold so I think the medicine is talking as well!!

That would be sweet!!

This one ( VF-2SS w/SAP ) is a must in my book!! Maybe the wait will be worth it?

Bandai is doing all it can to let sneak peeks of the Macross Quarter out, but no full blown pictures yet. Hopefully this weekend.

Still no actual pics, but 16 pages worth of Speculation, guessing, wondering and lots of BS, oh yeah, its all the same thing!!

If it is the VF-19 Fire Valkyrie, it better be detailed out the wazoo this time!! Bandai's last attempt was pretty sad. (Actual landing gear this time perhaps)

The new Beta/Tread Fighter bombers look awesome!! You wonder if the Alpha/Legioss fighters in front are the old piles of junk or new mfg'ed? Either way looks great!

Colonel Sanders: Its to dangerous, we've got to slow down first!!! Dark helmet: Bullsh*t, just stop this thing, I ORDER YOU, STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh hell ya, that is awesome MT!! perfect choice for the alarm sirens, classic Macross style!!

Lookin good!!!!

Don't we all!!

For a fan made movie, I thought that was pretty dam good. Sound effects were great on the guns!!!

Hang in there my man, even when the Sh*t hits the fan, it always seems to work out!! But what ever previews your planning to show, we'll all be waiting for it. Good luck on it!

Hard to say, but he could be. So far nothing is off the table in the series.

Amazing episode, All the clues are starting to come together. But who knew the battle Start was in such bad shape. Can't wait for next weeks episode!!

This year. HBO presents: THE PACIFIC. USMC, US ARMY & JAPAN. should be really good!!

hey Cent, your VF-25 looks great, I love the work on the engine exhaust ports, looks well detailed!! Nice job!! I have my VF-25's, just no time to build them yet!!!

Hey sil80jdm, glad too see you got your Toynami Cyclone. When you get a chance, take some pictures outside, if your camera is not doin to well indoors, outside with natural light is better. Let us know if you see any QC issues or if it seems safe to handle!! Enjoy!!!!

The heat shield looks awesome, Yamato already gets high points for that redesign!! Also I see they borrowed some VF-0 ideas with the leg armor shields, nice touch!!!
