just get the flip top lid with magic swap disks.

Hey rohby, can you put me down for 4 figures. or 2 sets of 2... $10 bucks right? Thanks Jim

I finally got an S on ARMD level 6. Funny thing was there are clues to help you beat it. If you look around you'll see a couple of kite symbols. They are on the towers. I had better luck with the tower closest to the Macross. The battle armors seem to excel in fighting you when your on the ground...so...get up in the air and waste them with your gun. Missles seem useless against them. Plus if you stay near that first tower you'll have cover for the next step when all the pods and glaugs start flying over. Next it is very important that you pass this first 1/2 of the stage with a perfect score. I got a perfect score on the first stage and didn't on the second and still got an S rank. Your given full health for the second half anyway. For the second half concentrate on the scout ships one at a time. you pretty much have to destroy them one at a time or else you have all of them flying around almost destroyed and they waste the macross. Find one and use your r1 button to follow it. (if it just stops moving get out of the firing path cause it going to fire its beam weapon. Kill these off one by one and then kill off the pods and glaugs. Also by using the r1 most of the missles will miss you as long as you stay in the air. Get the timing down for using your boost in the GBP to stay in the air indefidently. Now I just gotta beat that last ARMD stage and I'm done.

1. online capability. With an american online patch and server at macrossworld ( I hate split screen) 2. More mecha. Maybe add some destroid missions and many more styles of fighter. 3. Ability to fly zentraidi mecha 4. Triple the amount of missions. 5. Custom paint generator 6. Include life size minmay or myun or sharon apple doll (just kidding)

ok! now that there's a joke like art to go off I might have to try this.

I agree. I noticed that 40,000 seemed to be a common mark for S. Also like d-bud i needed a 72% hit rate on one of the ARMD levels to get S.

Both my wife and I play with my bandai reissues. I wouldn't with a yammie 1/60 since it wouldn't last an hour of serious dogfighting. The chunky monkeys rule. My wife's fav is my milla reissue and my favorite is the max. I was lucky enough to find a woman who loves anime and toys. she just don't like the price tag. THe only toy better than a chunky monkey is a Joke Machine. HMMM that's also made by bandai isn't it. Guess bandai and takatoku just make great toys.

I've finished all of the promethius levels with "S" grades. The most difficult was the first level and the second most difficult was the last level. For the first level I found that only a perfect health score will do. To do this I first ran around in battroid killing the pods one by one. THen went to gerwalk and destroid all of the airborn pods before the glaug arrives. As soon as the glaug arrived I hit fighter mode a got away (put the macross at your back and fly to the left most corner away from the macross...there are good size building there to hide behind that can take some damage) Now change to gerwalk, lock on, rise up and fire your large missles till they are gone or they aren't hitting anymore then switch to small. Duck behind building b/w vollys. If your building gets destroyed find a new one in another corner of the map via fighter mode. For the last level, just do your best on the first parts killing everything. Try to use battroid mode by locking on and firing while strafing (most of the missles fired on you will miss in space if your strafing and firing). Get to the ship destroying part and use your nukes. Must have no damage to get S score. Anybody had any luck with the A-6 and A-8 levels. THey are the only levels I dont' have an S on.

Please add me to the list. I'd like seven but my final order will depend on the price.

Finally got S ranks on all the Promethius stages. Now I got 6 left on the ARMD stages. Still missing the last 3 cards. Man these ARMD levels are hard.

Pleeeeeeeeeese make these. I need like 7 sets! Also could use some custom elint and ostrich and GBP stickers to fit a joke. I would prefer the DYRL stickers. Pleeeeese make them.

One thing for those getting the flip top case. The directions are a little confusing at one step. Thats the step of removing the little white spinner disk from your old case. I e-mailed the makers and they said to just pry it out with a screwdriver (the plastec is very flexible) However, before I got the return on their message I got impatient and just removed the black shinny disk on the top of the tray cover to get the white disk out. THe black disk is just held down by some glue so if your careful you won't break it.

Ok...just to clarify, The PS2 macross game will play in PS2 if your using either the flip top case in conjunction with swap magic 2.0. The slide card also works using the same disk. I got my slide card from tsinc99 and the box for the swap magic actually says Magic slide. However, Like I said...I ditched the slide card because it might wreck your system. So I bought the flip top case without any disks. I just use the one's that come with the slide card. The disks that come with the slide card are the same one's that you can get with the flip top. So far I can play Macross for PS2 and I made a copy (with cdclone) of ONI to test the backup playing ability. Both played fine. I also have some old PS1 backups that play fine. Haven't tried any original ps1 imports Hope this helps

I had the slide card...then upgraded to the flip top once I heard the slide card wrecks your system. I love the flip top. Its great. Makes changing disks a snap. And allow your to play backups of ps1 and ps2 games as well as imports. If you don't have a lot of cash go with the flip top no matter what.

I heard something somewhere about a bad run of the version 2 discs that don't work all the time.. I'm betting you got one of them. Mine work great. So good infact that I decided to scrap the slide card and get the fliptop with out disks for $20. Anyone need a slide card minus the disks?

keep the battle near but below the ship. THat way you'll have more time to blow the ship up when your mission changes.

ok, forgot about the whole HG issue. I wouldn't want a 1/48 jetfire...I'm just trying to get a very complete set of 1/55's. Once that's done I'll get more 1/48's.

With all the TF's being reissued do you think they would reissue jetfire/skyfire?

Height of the regults is just a tiny bit shorter than the head of a joke machine. Also wondering is anybody else having massive QC issues with these. I mean what do you expect for a $4 toy. Out of the box of 10 I got from Valk exchange I opened 6... of those 6 I had 2 big QC issues. The Max transformable is missing its bicep and is thus relegated to staying in fighter mode. The non-transformable has a broken leg. I must say though they are pretty cool. Just having the 2 regults makes it worth it. They are totally awsome...however on one of them I had to drill the hole a little bigger to insert the right cannon. <_< I wonder if I can get replacement parts anywhere.

I figured it was either silica or candy. Hoping for candy. Well you save me from testing it on my dog.

I agree...wtf! I'm pretty sure there will be a season 3.

the only laptop I would think of buying is a Dell or Toshiba. Dell preferably. Hp's are a nightmare and compaqs are even worse.

Just got my K&m Macross figs from Valk exchange. In each of the boxes (except the battle pods) there is a black bag that contains something. I haven't opened any but I think it might be candy. Has anyone opened the black bag.

Pass both Promethius and ARMD modes and the VF-4 you will receive.

How to beat milla without incurring any damage... Fly in fighter straight at her. Pass here while rolling to avoid her missles. Once you have passed her keep flying away from her until she is at the very bottom of your radar screen. Now bank hard while applying the air brake. Milla will fire her missles...don't worry...keep banking and lock on as soon a possible. As you do lock on and fire one volly of heavy missles or 1.5 volly's of micro missles and then roll again just after you fire. pass her and repeat the process. I've beat milla about 6x on each of the stages without damage by using this method.
