Ok, I searched and searched Macrossworld and I could find a topic of this: I'm sure people have seen the Toynami 1/100 scale Valks by now: Clicky There's also a 12-inch Hikaru, clad in DYRL flight suit. It's supposed to include lifesize dogtags and a Skull Squadron patch. Pic in latest Toyfare. Clicky Has anyone seen these? Mods, if there's a topic on this, please point me to it as I couldn't find one!

Maybe it's along the same lines as the whole "Thrust vectoring Macross Style"?

Never watched super robot shows growing up. I was always into the more "realistic" style mecha shows. I'll just have to go with Gunbuster as I love it's design and one of the first anime series I shelled out cash for (still have my mint condition US Renditions tapes)

Hmmm......Mari is here in Houston?? I know some people at ADV...I might be able to meet her, that would be fun.

Not only that, but I betcha they'll have an awesome hip-hop soundtrack, courtesy of John Cena! A remake of that movie is just plain dumb. If it doesn't have Arnold, what's the point?

I saw him doing an ad for Brown and Crouppen, a local law firm here in St. Louis. The funny thing is one of the lawyers (Terry Crouppen) used to do the commercials for his firm and over the years we've seen him expand just like Shatner! Still, Shatner's the man! 340395[/snapback] Wow! Shatner's a busy man! Here in Houston, he's featured in an ad for the Smith & Hassler law firm. They're quite amusing. The spokesman before Shatner was Robert Vaughn. Takei coming out surprised me but it's cool I suppose. I really wanted that Excelsior show to happen and instead we got Enterprise. Ah would could have been. Remember that episode of Voyager that featured Captain Sulu and the Excelsior? I would imagine the show would have been quite like that, minus She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Mentioned. Hell, you could've had Tim Russ reprising his role as Tuvok.

ELO, IIRC, was actually very late '70s prog rock...I'm not sure they were part of the New Wave scene. 339639[/snapback] Pat is right, ELO is generally considered prog rock/pop rock. They had a few disco tinged songs, but I would never stick 'em in with groups like The Bee Gees or KC and the Sunshine Band. TIME is awesome, btw. It's ELO's big time travel sci-fi concept album and really stands out from their other records. Here's the Wikipedia entry for ELO--->CLICKY And here's Amazon's spot for TIME--->CLICKY Noriko Takaya is Macross World's biggest Gunbuster fan....I consider myself to be Macross World's biggest ELO fan.

I'm planning on customizing one of my Jet Fires into a 1/55 Angel Bird. It's gonna be a lot of cleaning, painting and puttying (to the blunted nose that is). I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about the markings though. Anyone know where I can find 1/55 Angel Bird decals?

IIRC, that's about as good as it gets, unless you have that LD. I remember reading that the original master copy is/was in rough shape. Hmm...seems I have a 70 meg .avi version of this file. The sound is really clear to boot. It has the Daicon III "recap", Daicon IV, Daicon III, and the little Daicon IV "making of" vid with ELO's "Hold On Tight". It was the Daicon IV animation that really got me into anime AND ELO at the same time. Ah, the memories.

I really hate the idea of the vehicles turning into their pilots, ya know? TIE Advanced transforming into Vader, X-Wing into a rebel pilot. Just goofy. Makes ya wonder what a variable X-Wing from Kawamori would look like....

I got to see a press screening several weeks ago, and I gotta say I think you guys will be impressed. I went without having seen the episodes and I was instantly hooked. I had no problems going along with the story ( a friend filled me in on a few things). Of course, I had to instantly rush out and get the boxset after watching Serenity. Overall, I think Firefly fans will be pleased.

For those who frequent comic shops, the Tenjin Hidetaka Valkyries book is being offered in this month's PREVIEWS!!!!!!!

For those who frequent comic book shops, Miyatake Design Works is being offered in this months issue of PREVIEWS!!!

Don't forget the sweet kit-bash!

Hey guys. Terry Funk was at the comic shop I work at last night signing his new book, Terry Funk: More Than Just Hardcore along with his co-author (and former comic shop employee) Scott E. Williams (not to be confused with Jim Lee's regular inker). First thing Terry did when he arrived was greet everyone standing in line with a handshake. He had some cool stories and was a really nice guy! I'll post my pics when I get a chance!

I wonder what something like OxyClean would do to yellowed plastic. Hmmm.....

I'm sure you guys have seen this Ghost Rider statue released a few months ago:

I'm gonna add: Al Pacino as The Devil in Devil's Advocate Michael Madsen as Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs (come on, he was a bad, bad man.) Geoffrey Rush as Cassanova Frankenstein in The Mystery Men Max von Sydow as Emperor Ming in Flash Gordon

IIRC, you can see what Claudia wears underneath her jacket in the episode where Roy dies.....Pine Salad, I believe.

Go HERE if you want to see what I listen to. Quite a handy service.

Yeah, I love this movie. It's just fun. Great visuals to boot.

WHERE'S APONE?!?!?! WHERE'S APONE!!?!?!?! Heh, I was just watching Aliens last night. Damn good film! But about the dropship, that's gonna be one fargin' sweet toy!!! I can't believe how huge that thing is!!! Wouldn't it be cool if the APC were remote controlled?

They have been known to do that.

In Black Hawk Down, there's a scene were some of the soldiers were pinned down by fire (when didn't this happen?) and a chopper flies by over head. The door gunner let's loose with the mini-gun and rains a bunch of hot casings on the soldiers. Loved the sound effect for the mini-gun....and couldn't help imagining what it would have sounded like if it were GU-11 sized.

I saw a 2-disc set that had all 5 episodes for cheap.....like under $20.
