Ok, I've been occupied with other hobbies that it seems I've missed out on the 1/48 VF1J Hikkie valk (one in the blue box, not the Super version). Now I find out there's a re-release coming out this December. So, long story short...

Is there a listing of all the released and future releases of Yamato 1/48 mecha? (already searched the threads to no avail) I'm a completist collector and missed out on the VF1J.

Just one here... I got too may other hobbies keeping me busy.

Applying all the stickers to a 1/48th is tedious work to say the least. I've only done 2 out of the 7 I own.

Finally... Placed my pre-order.

I wonder how many Godzilla ordered? a case or two?

If this is coming out, then there's hope for the two-seater variant valks. I'm waiting on Kevin to list the pre-order...

Whew!!! Just got off the controller after sitting in playing for 5 hours straight. I must say, it's awesome! I musta spent an hour navigating thru all the countries checking out all the cars... some very cool cars AND trucks to work towards. It's cool that you can transfer licenses and up to $100,000 from GT3.

Earned three cars so far, one was a weird open wheeled electric thingy, some "special" car that you can only drive and not race.

Damn... that's awesome. Dude's gotta be trailerin' that sucka it's so damn big.

Damn, I've been away for a while. The Monster's out now!?!? Did I miss the post where Graham gives a review with pics?

Ooohh... Nice!

Cool pics. I used to live a hop, skip and a jump away from Oceana. Hmm... changed to the super hornet, eh? . Those jets are loud, but after living close to the NAS for close to 13 years you get used to it.

I Love Jet Noise!

Great news and thanks for the pics G.

Now hou 'bout a two-seater like the VF-1D, Ostrich or Elintseeker...

schweet!!! our own MW Santa!

Back in the day when I was a kid: Hotwheels/Matchbox, GI Joe and Star Wars.

Now: Toybiz Marvel Legends and DC Direct figs.

About the most blue you'll ever see is VF-143.

Ahh... the ol Pukin' Dogs squadron based outta Oceana NAS in Virginia Beach, VA. Saw alotta Navy jets flying by living in VB, everything from A-7 Corsairs and F-4 Phantoms back in the day before they were retired; E-6s, F-14s, F-18s. And the annual Airshows were cool, within casual bike riding distance. Got to know every Naval Aircraft intimately. Sadly I didnt pursue a career in the Navy, I chose the US ARMY, Hooah!!! Airborne!!!

Gots all the Bandai re-releases. Just hoping that they'll re-release the GBP armor, and other valk variants (ostrich, elint, etc) but I know thats wishfull thinkin.

I dig the new BDUs, just hate the fact that I'll be shelling out some coin for a couple new sets, not to mention all the patches...

As far as the whole beret issue goes, I think the former Army COS, Gen Shinseki pushed for the black beret for everyone in the Army to instill an esprit de corps that elite units like the Rangers and SF enjoyed. Basically a way to increase morale.

The only berets in the Army that signify elite troops is the tan (Ranger) and green (SF) berets. The maroon (Airborne) beret really doesnt mean anything overall - there are a bunch of "dirty LEGS" serving in Airborne units. The only way to ID an Airborne troop is to see if he/she has wings on their chest. One good rule to tell a soldiers' qualifications is to check his left chest for "hooah" patches and left shoulder for the Ranger tab or long tab.

Picked up my set from the post office, Thanks Rob!

I bought a valk from they a while back, VF-11B (with bad hip joints ) Really didnt buy from them afterwards. I only buy from Valk Exch and Twin Moons

Woohoo! Raleigh, North Carolina here! If there are any other Macrossworld members in NC, I'd be pleasantly surprised.

Which reminds me, would there be any proper way to attempt to track down someone by name and see if they are a member of the site? I'd be really interested to know if the former president of the ECU School of Anything Goes Anime club is here somewhere and I've just never realized it. That guy was a diehard Macross fan, and I wouldn't mind catching up with him.

Yeah brutha... I'm in Fayettenam. This town sucks for anime, and general culture, but I do enjoy the Carolina style barbeque.

Great news... I almost forgot I placed an order for them.

I'll tell ya who's crazy...

sithlord

just checked out the link in his sig that shows his collection It's friggan' INSANE

Someone outta round up all the customizers, put em in a toy valk sweatshop and put em to work so everyone can have a kick @ss custom

NICE customs, BTW...

I just messed my pants.... thats such a schweet mecha!!!

That TRU is stocked pretty full. I'd be lucky to find the local TRU that well stocked, even at Xmas time.

I'd definitely spend too much at that TRU in Japan if I was lucky enough to visit.

Whoa... what happened to the old skin? At first I thought I was smokin' too much weed
