  1. I just bought 7 really cheap games from HK. As well as the abovementioned, I got Onimusha Tactics, 007: Nightfire and Tactics Ogre. I'll let you know if they're any good or not! But from all my review reading, the best GBA games seem to be Advance Wars 1&2, Zelda, Mario 4, Yoshi's Island, Golden Sun, FF tactics, Mario Kart, the Tony Hawk games and the Castlevania games are popular too.
  2. lol! Something like that! I proposed after we had spent a weekend with my mother. I had the ring for a while but then my mother came down and ruined my romantic plans! I thought if she can put up with my mom and keep sane then she is the one for me!!
  3. Hey guppy you have been on ebay or other auctions forum too many a times issit? I will be staying at BP international as its close to my in-law's place. No worries for me as MTR is a short walk away and just a few train stops to Mongkok. How and where should we meet on the actual day? and what time too? I shouldn't be having any problem as i have Graham's number to contact in case of miscommunication or emergencies. Hey Noel i presume you are staying at your GF's place rite? Mongkok? near to sino centre or far away? Noel when would you be arriving in HK? want to go together on the same flight? Cheers guilty as charged.. I am a confessed ebay junkie! OK - I have booked at the Ramada. I will probably meet sebastian at the airport. I will follow him to wherever the meeting place is as I will completely lost in HK!
  4. Sold!! I am going to book at the Ramada.
  5. you can't rush quality! Plus, I will be broke until january from going overseas.
  6. Here's where I got those prices: BP Hotel Grand Tower And the main page with lots of hotels to choose from in Kowloon halfway down: http://www.hong-kong-hotels-discount.com/
  7. I made one about 2 years ago. It still needs decals.
  8. Is that in US $ or HK $? That was in US dollars. Does the price of the Grand Tower sound right to you Noel? It seems a bit expensive to me.. or am I just cheap? Recon - yes, I am devilishlly attractive aren't I? It's ok, my wife has just started wearing glasses so I will hide them so she can't see all the girls checking me out!
  9. thank god some other wives are coming too! All our women can get together and have coffee and share stories of how we spend too much money on toys.
  10. hehe, sorry Recon, Graham is right.. you said 'meters' instead of centimetres. My wife is pretty short actually.. she would be about 156 cms.
  11. hmm, a standard Triple room at the Grand Tower is $323, and a standard Triple room at the BP International is $93. I don't know about you guys but I would prefer to spend the extra $230 a night on toys!
  12. holy god! She must be a Human Skyscraper! Graham: I will take a 'Large' and a 'Small' size shirt. and thanks everyone for the birthday greetings! I expect presents from all of you in HK!
  13. looks small.. like it would be 1/100 or 1/72. I would save that 9 bucks and put it towards your next bandai or yamato purchase!
  14. Doing a group booking sounds like an idea. I want to stay in somewhere nice but not mega expensive. I will be on my honeymoon after all!
  15. NOTHING so far! That's what happens wher you're 28. no one cares anymore! Hmm, yes.. A 1/48 1J with fastpacks would do me fine!
  16. Excelllllent (mr.burns voice) .. our trip is shaping up nicely. Hey Graham, if it's not too late, can I order a second shirt in a small size (women's size 10)? After my wife saw the shirt she had to have one! PS- It's My BIRTHDAY today! lol. :birthday: oh no! The birthday emoticon is GONE!
  17. BWA HA HAAAA! That's great. I really like eva but the non stop whining nihilism gets very boring. I love the end of eva parody. For great nasty movie reviews check out www.mrcranky.com - be sure to read the review for 'The Tigger Movie'
  18. I am going of course! I haven't bought anything from hlj in a month so I will have a nice big shopping list. I have no idea about accomodation, but I will be looking for nice but not too expensive (if such a thing exists in HK)
  19. yep, they are pics of the 1/72 hasegawa non-transformable battroid kit.

    2/3 finished custom!

    The legs I borrowed off my 1S as they aren't finished yet. And I think I will stick to the plugs rather than putty for the backpack as that hinge that connects the backpack to the main body need to be coated heavily with primer and dullcoat as the paint will wear quickly from rubbing.

    2/3 finished custom!

    hehe, I was wondering what people would think of the skull & crossbones instead of the macross flag! I was bored with doing the same design over and over again, so I tried to make this one as different as possible. Goonk - don't worry, I still have the little 'plugs' that go in those holes. I just haven't painted them yet.
  22. And the chick had this really big hair afro! And even bigger shoulder pads. I loved that show.

    2/3 finished custom!

    Thanks! Monkey - yep, I'm gonna do the panel lines with a mechanical pencil so they are a subtle grey rather than black. Sebastian - I am leaving the whole arm grey, but I am thinking of doing the 'triangles' on the shoulders red, or maybe a decal? I might just try your idea for a grey canopy trim!
  24. Hi, here's my latest custom which is 2/3 finished! I have a lot of friends and family staying over the next month so I won't get much time to finish it so I got impatient and posted a few pics now. This is the idea I was talking about in a recent thread which is here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=4&t=2876 Anyway, here are some quick pics! I am thinking about changing the nose tip, like make the grey part bigger or making the whole nose blue, so any suggestions are welcome! The legs when finished will be the same style as a cannon fodder - in this case grey with the sides blue. The tail fins are getting jolly roger flag decals too. I was pretty happy with how painting the fuselage shape turned out - ie, making it all blue to stand out from the chest plate and wind brake hatch thingie.
  25. I bought that 1/6 Hicks and Alien box set - Hicks ain't bad but the alien figure really stinks. MY favourite Aliens toy merchandise is still the Action Fleet vehicles. MY Dropship was hard won on ebay!
