  1. lol, and that makes us so old that we'll probably be dead soon and nobody will remember at all.
  2. I have a big mame collection which I haven't looked at for ages. Might go play some now! And with your trackball you can play Marble Madness like it was meant to be played!
  3. woohoo! Great news on the Getter team and Zambot! they are the only two I am chasing.. besides the Dancouga and Yamato and.. Based of hlj discontinued prices for the above the standard prices should be around Getter Team $124 Zambot - $149 Now I wonder if they will release the Zambo ace to the general public?
  4. Classics Jetfire looks cool from the pics I've seen. Anyone who's got it, can you tell me if it would be possible to do a mod to have the wings fold down battroid-style instead of up? That's the only thing I don't like about the toy, the way the wings stick up in robot mode.
  5. I just found this link while surfing aimlessly: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...l%3Den%26sa%3DG What size are they? They looks suspiciously like PVC to me...
  6. seeing the vid of the cyclone killed my interest. I already have a finished IMAI kit and the 1:12 Gakken toy. This thing doesn't look any better than either. Beta looks cool - trying to place where they kit bashed the hands from. And the lavender legioss? ha ha ha!
  7. Funny, my wife said the same thing early in our relationship. OK, just to not be a total knob I'll ask something relevant. Those of you with the SOP Yamato, what are your thoughts? I heard that the re-release fixed some problems that the original had. And it's still available at a reasonable price. Including shipping, the Yamato and Dancouga are the same price, so I am choosing which one to get as I can't afford both. Although, the new 2.5 foot long Yamato is out. For a bargain price of $375! I watched the video on hlj.com and seriously considered redrawing some mortgage money to get it (and not tell my wife. Although where I would hide it I have no idea)
  8. I bought Gothic 3. It has proven to be the most difficult game to get running I have ever had. In 18 or so years of using computers. Ah, I feel better after saying that. RE compatibility issues with Vista, Australia copped it bad. I read that Vista users can't connect to the biggest ISP in the country and the problem won't be fixed until the middle of the year, haha. what a screw up.
  9. FYI Hobbylink Japan has 20% off Combattler V. He's the perfect partner to display with your Voltes! And what's the going rate for Dancougas at the moment? hlj has them for 163, is ebay much cheaper? I just had a look and they must be 1st editions cos they are selling around 300.
  10. I got the Guyver 1, and all the probs Graham mentioned I have on mine too. I think it's a great looking figure with great poseability but it's 'pose and don't touch'. And it falls over all the time. It happens so often I leave it there for days. In fact he's having a sleep as we speak. and he took all the Berserk figures with him.
  11. you get sexual favours from me if you do. Or not, whichever is more persuasive. Plus I'm assuming the U31 franchise is pretty not in demand. Keith: Lucky me! I'm in australia so Region 4 is my region.. haha, years of missing out on R1 special editions. But these days most dvd players are region free or easily unlockable.
  12. In the midst of a wave of nostalgia after watching the opening credits to the classic Ulysses 31 on youtube, I got to wondering if there ever was a toy line. After a bit of looking I found Popy produced a few diecast vehicles and figures a quarter of a century (!!!!!) ago. Now if I wanted to find myself an Astronave (the cool red spaceship/shuttle that split into 3 parts) would I be dreaming? Is this as rare as they come? Has anyone here got one? And what do you think the going rate is? ToyboxDX link: http://www.toyboxdx.com/popy/popy_data/pc/pc_23.htm pics! *bangs head against wall to try and stop the theme song music playing in head*

    Questions for Yamato

    not so much a question, but get them in an armlock until they promise to bring out Macross toys in smaller sized boxes!
  14. and black hair too! I'm not sure about the t-shirt. Or the happy face. *boom tish* But seriously folks, he looks awesome! I would prefer the cannon/telescopic sight to be a bit smaller but that's just nit picking.
  15. haha.. that statement (we recommend that you not snap off the plastic cap) is the best "I have to say this to cover my ass but I sure as hell don't mean it" statement ever!
  16. I don't mind the Q-rau but I realise now it's never come out off the shelf since I got it. I need more gimmicks to keep me interested.
  17. Well done, O Resurrector. I've gotten into Civil War, but it's gone on for how long now?!? I just this second finished reading Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. It was GREAT. Go get it! also recently read 30 Days of Night. Cute idea, great art, bad writing. What else.. I'm enjoying Garth Ennis' The Boys, and his new series of the Midnighter is great too. 7 Brothers on the other hand seems more like 'I did it for the money'
  18. thought I'd chime in since this is the place for help! I've got a friend going to Tokyo very soon and I'm in desperate want of a GX-34 Gunbuster after a friend's order didn't come through. Are they readily available around Akehabara or other toy hotspots? Or should I just choke down an ebay sh*t sandwich? And to you Japanese based MW'ers I'm hoping to get over there this year as an Australian airline is starting up super-budget airfares to Japan in the middle of the year so I'd love to catch up.
  19. I'm very late coming to this thread and I'm not reading 31 pages! All I have to say is my friend just bought one and my cynicism has been blown away. Clearing out the lounge room, cracking some beers and playing Wii sports is a great way to spend an evening! Although while playing baseball I almost killed my wife. I swung and missed her head by about an inch. Note to self. When batting, stand to the RIGHT of the pitcher! And now she's hooked on Pikmin which my friend just bought. I wonder what that would be like to play on psychedelic substances...?
  20. I'd like to know too.. I missed out on the 1st run.
  21. lol.. isn't there a comic called 'Battle Pope'? It needs More Mecha!!
  22. nice mod! The battroid's head reminds me of the alien's heads in Independence Day.

  24. thanks for correcting my ignorance on jet anatomy! Once again displaying my ignorance (and it's prolly been asked before), but is the SV-51 inspired by a real life counterpart at all? I always thought not as most of it looks pretty sci-fi but I thought the body might resemble something.
