  1. Man...I've gotta get back on the ball. That copy of 3ds Max 2010 can't get here fast enough... Awesome stuff, Gonzo! Glad to see that you and everyone else are still working.
  2. While the Lucy fanservice scene might have been a touch extraneous, the additional scenes of her added some dimension to her character. It made her go from being a throwaway blonde bimbo, to a somewhat interesting character that we only get a brief exposure to her thoughts and feelings.
  3. Nothing. And generally speaking I'll dig everything or something about everything with the Macross label attached to it. I loved Macross 7 despite the low production values; the characters, story, and music were amazing. I loved Macross 2 once again despite the low production values and destruction of the Macross. I liked Macross Zero for the dogfights, mecha, and visual spectacular it was, but the story and characters were disappointing. I enjoyed Macross 7 Trash...it's Mikimoto art. Macross Plus (and SDF:M via Robotech) is the reason I'm a military pilot today. So really there's nothing they could do to Macross that would turn me away. This inlcudes the release of Macross Nyan: a 49 episode harem comedy involving singing catgirl maids piloting transforming fighters to protect some hapless 16 year old boy that just inherited the Shinsei Heavy Industries fortune.
  4. All I've got to say about the RVF-25 is this: If anyone in the US gets a multi-colored Luca and can't stand the lack of Quality Control from Bandai and wishes they'd canceled their pre-order, please PM me. I'll be willing to take it off your hands for a fair price.
  5. Wow. That was actually pretty good. Many props to you for having the patience to do stop motion.
  6. Hmmm...would it be sacriligeous of me to do a custom on a 25th Anniversary model? I'm not a huge fan of the black and gold, but love the idea of a Yamato 19 that won't explode in my hands. I was thinking a nice low-viz grey or a VFX2 Ravens scheme...
  7. Is the 25th Anniversary one any more durable than the classic YF-19? I really want a 19, but I like playing with my toys.
  8. Hmmm...not cool to hear about the two tone Lucca. I was a little worried that I should've stayed in Japan longer so I could grab this one too. I'll have to check it out on my next trip. I'm actually super happy with the DX series so far. I actually wasn't a fan of the VF-25 until I bought my VF-25S. In fighter and Gerwalk it looks really nice, and Battroid, well turtle head aside, it still looks better than many of the other toys on the market. Aesthetics aside, it was so much fun to play with, I grabbed a 25G the day it was released. My only issue with that one, is that the hip armour is extremely loose and the fighter mode is a little too tight. The 8 year old in me has never had such a cool toy!
  9. Yes indeed. Your DX being loaded onto a 777-300 as we speak. Attached is a picture of my 2nd Checked Bag.
  10. I just grabbed my VF-25G at Biku? Camera in Kawasaki (by the train station) for retail. If there's anyone in Japan looking for one, they've got stacks of them. I'd love to add my two cents, but I need to leave it in the box since I'm flying back to the states tomorrow.
  11. Joining late since I just got my VF-25S DX in Akihabara a few days ago for cheap. I really like this toy because I wanted a toy to play with (I'll get a 1/72 if I want a display model.) The proportions are better than some of the other VFs I saw and my only real gripe has been the head. Read through all the pages and saw that there was a FAST Pack addition for this toy released, but I can't seem to find it online. Is this something I have to hunt for in the shops?
  12. Hecks yes! I was a semi-finalist. I didn't get on stage, but I was in the final 6 or 7 guys. Not sure what the winner got, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as the guy celebrating his birthday.
  13. This post is my first in this forum. Okay, the second maybe as I asked a question previously, but the first as a Macross Toy owner. Today I went to Akihabara and I was like a kid in a candy store. Disney world and other theme parks have kind of lost their thrill after flying the Blackhawk, but if anywhere in the world could be an amusement park for me, this was it. There was so much cool stuff, but as for the relevant materials: -I am now the proud owner of a DX VF-25S. I wanted to get the Alto version, but the only one I saw was for something like 19800 yen. F that. -So much Mac F Gashapon. I've got 4 out of 6 in one series. I'll head back for the other two. Also got this weird Alto sound maker cell phone bling thing. -Saw cards, cookies, binders (for 2980 yen...um no,) and all order of model kits including some OOP stuff. -Origin of Valkyrie toys are 20% off almost everywhere as well as some older Yamatos. -RC cars with macross Decals? WTF? Althoguh if Subaru did a Ranka eddition WRX like this, I might consider trading in my Legacy GT (Okay, probably not, I wouldn't be caught dead driving that thing in the US, but it spoke to the Otaku in me.) -Almost bought the 1/100 partsformer, but decided against it since I had the DX -Macross Frontier playing on TVs in Yodabashi-Akiba and some of the singles in Various stores -As an aside, I picked up the Ranka/Bobby single with SMS Chant and Watashi no kare wa pilot at the FMV in Hokkaido, not sure how much that will be in my playlist, but the stickers were great! Um, not entirely coherent at the moment since the evening ended with Karaoke but yeah. Attached pictures. Not sure if there's any scoop in here, but I did want to share my excitment and the experience of my age being halved for a few hours with the MW community. Oh, and maid cafe...what a unique experience beyond words. As wrong as my brain told me it was (something about exploitation that would make Hooters blush,) I loved every minute of it. Not sure if my picture with Miruku (Milk?) or my new VF-25S is my favorite memento from that trip. Edit: Deleted scale on the DX, didn't realize it was a 1/60.
  14. What we need now is Man-Sheryl in the black leather tube-top concert outfit. A great way to make you retract your statement and a counter to all the crossplay Alto and Ozma characters. (Run a google search on Man-Faye if you don't get it)
  15. Wow...I'll never look at Gamlin the same...
