  1. I think the regults from Mission 2 were supposed to be the rare pieces so that may be why there are sets without them.

    I think Mission 2 is in scale with the first Mission so hopefully Mission 3 should be the same.

  2. For me it's partly the idea of paying $100+ for a newly released toy (1/48) and the newly acquired level headedness of not needing everything right away. I basically have the means to acquire this stuff but I don't for the above reasons. Eventually I've gotten it just a little slower than normal.

  3. Not for me. I just wanted the pilot standing up. So I could display it next to his valk. Like I said, I asked Rohby as a favor to myself... Sorry George... :(

    :)

    That's cool. If Rohby's still willing to hook the rest of us up I'll still sign up for a couple. I guess I'll try hacking and slashing them with my meager skills.

  4. The Atari 2600 had some sweet games. Back in college, there were five guys living in the house and we had a NES, SNES, Genesis, Gameboys, Atari 2600, a PC, and eventually a Playstation and the 2600 got just as much play time as anything else. This was back in the mid 1990's so the Playstation was the most kick ass thing at the time. Games like River Raid just never lose their appeal.

    Pong is cool too. I think I still have a knock-off of it.

  5. Interesting explanation. Do I care, not really but I agree with JsARCLIGHT in that it's cool that they are trying to mend things together. Yes, everyone knows they are totally unrelated in the real world but Robotech fans seem to take whatever was in the animation as being gospel. We all know that the missles on the stabilizers and the "YF-1R" are animation mistakes but these seem to weasel themselves into RT canon.

    I think this would be a silly debate if we were talking about Macross and Southern Cross but in the Robotech realm it's pretty interesting.

  6. I doubt it... the material is different from resin. It's a bit rubbery. Sean (Knight26) boiled his sharpener figure and then bent him to a sitting position. Then proceeded to shave his butt. (well, hikaru's... not his own :p ) Yeah, he sadistic mofo... LOL.

    Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose of the recast then?

  7. I should have known s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d would have been the front runner with his three mode displays. Everytime he posts his collection I'm amazed.

    Anyway, this post has been pretty damn interesting.

    So if MW accounts for a high enough percentage of Yamato's sales, I say they should finally give us an exclusive. ;):lol:

  8. Sweet, if Rohby is doing the recast, I'll take a couple. I could also let him borrow my Minmay to recast.

    I do remember that the person that did replace his pilot with the pencil sharpener said that he had to shave some plastic off of Hikaru's butt to get him to sit low enough in the cockpit.

    Can you reshape resin after it's cast? I mean will we be able to reshape the recast legs to get him in the cockpit? (Of course that means I need a 1/48. :unsure: )

  9. How sturdy are the poses when you put the feet of a battroid or gerwalk on the rods. The poses look cool but freak me out because I think they'll fall.

  10. whats really killing me is my other hobby...star wars lego. :( they just released a bunch of new sets and some old ones that totals $700- or so. :o

    Are you talking about the AT-AT? That's a sweet set fromt he looks of it.

    Back on topic....I don't really need to save up for it either but I'm not entirely sure I'm getting one either. I'm definitely intrigued but it defies all logic for me to pay so much for a toy that will sit there and gather a LOT of dust, but then again, I'm a collector and I've done a bunch of illogical things. :(

  11. Bwaaaahahahahahaha I remember the Virtual Boy. I think I wanted one. :lol:

    I have a Game Gear... I love it. I still think it's as good as the GBA... Except for battery life <_<

    I just bought a Nomad recently. :lol: Anyone have Genesis games they wanna dump?

    Vostok 7

    Hey Vostok

    What games are you looking for? I may have some I need to get rid of. An old co-worker gave me a bunch of games.
