The stabilizer fins of the AMM-1 do not extend until after the missile is launched. Use can see the side drawing on the AMM-1 page which shows the AMM-1 with its fins retracted: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...siles/amm1.html But you just said tail fin missiles aren't AMM-1s. What was being referred to before was the vertical tail of Max's VF-1 which had missiles specially attached to it..... as part of this system: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat..._armed_sys.html I know. And then you mentioned the AMM-1.

Why stop there? Would 1/5 be about right for a normal human to fit inside?

Mac7 is just like that. Friends have become enemies, families have been divided, wars have been started over whether or not the show sucks.

Heh. Methinks an extra letter might be needed.

True. DirectX didn't exist until ... I think '96. Or IS IT? Maybe Kawamori and company predicted Microsoft's rise to power 2 decades ago, when the IBM PC was just a dream and Gates was just a conman.

But I'd pay good money to see someone blast a WORKING one out. Especially if it didn't go straight up, so it spun in the air. ... This all assumes I'm a safe distance away.

Yamato will be the winners, no questions asked. Bandai's are reissues of the old toys from the original release of the show. While good for their day, and the most playable of the 3 main ones, they aren't exactly known for their accuracy. Toynami has had major quality control issues, as well as being Robotech merchandise, which earns them some more ire. Yamato, despite a few quality control problems here and there, has consistently offered the most detailed, articulated, and accurate toys.

Are you sure you're not confusing her gloved hands with tig bittes? Probably. *picks mind out of the gutter*

Damnb, but Minmay's chest is big in that shot.

And eventually it follows you while making tweeting noises and launching lightsabers at you through an air cannon..

The clip where Hikaru's plane # reverses!

the bartender says "Not you three again!"

Pros: Basara sings better than Minmay. Cons: Minmay doesn't sing every episode.

The fact that there's a club devoted to making R2-D2 clones astounds me.

He's talking about the Saturn/PlayStation game that features very liberal usage of FMV between levels(captured from the movie as well as new animation).

Assuming it's canon, then yes.

That's a diffrent episode(the one where Exedol comnes aboard to negotiate a cease-fire). The DirectX logo is just a yellow X with a bluish circle around it. Though a porn star would probably look a lot better. Can't get a shot of the billboard(lack a PC DVD player), but here's what the directX logo looks like, so you know what you're looking for(it's really hard to miss).

Technically, it was called the "Star Wars Holiday Special" so I didn't feel bad about leaving it out. For all we know, it may have been intended to celbrate Hanukkah, Ramadan, or maybe even Kwanza. That's why I didn't capitalize. I wasn't sure of the real title. Strong are you in the dark side. Evil you are, yes.

What about the Star Wars christmas special? *gets shot by an assassin hired by George Lucas*

I'm dead serious. There's a big rotating DirectX logo, plain as day, on a billboard right smack in the middle of the screen for a few seconds in one episode. I think it was the first one with the spies onboard the Macross, right as they step into the city. But I'm not sure. Okay, found it. Right scene. It's about 6 minutes into episode 13. As our trio of comic relief stares at all the flashing lights, a traffic light changes. After that the camera pans across a row of stores on the street. One of them has a big DirectX logo as a sign.

I should run through the DVDs again and find the big flashing DirectX billboard. Macross City: Powered by Microsoft.

To be fair, the MPCs were designed to compete with the 1/60 Yamato, not the 1/48. Which isn't saying there aren't some problems with the MPCs, but it's not really fair to compare them to a toy that came out that much later.

Tonight it was a fruit basket. What kind of fruits?

I was just saying that relative to other states, Texas is VERY friendly to debtors. I happen to be quite fond of Texas, BTW. Well, aside from the weather in summer.
