  1. I agree, DeathHammer. The series truly ended after Octopussy, and arguably should have been ended sooner. Roger Moore was OK, but quite a ham. Tim Dalton was a non-entity. Brosnan missed the boat by twenty years. IMHO, of course.
  2. Didn't Yamato state some time back, that the CF was to be the very last of the 1A models? I suppose that this could be taken to mean new 1A models, but my first impression was that they meant 'last is last'. As in, buy now or be sorry.
  3. Well, lessee... Bond should be a Scotsman, ala Connery. Should have razor wit, ala Connery, and should exude sex appeal. I nominate Fat Bastard.
  4. Very nice work. I really like those pencil sketches of weathered trees, good stuff
  5. That phrase originated from a speech that Al Gore delivered at a past MWCON, shortly after his invention of the internet. He went on to proclaim that "Reactive armor is the shiznit!", and assured us that we would all know what he was talking about "Soon enough". Gore then mounted a jetpack and disappeared through the ceiling. Honestly, I have no idea m8
  6. Because you're a masochist? 331872[/snapback] I think you're right. An oddly insightful and intelligent response from someone who reads the 'Weekly World News' Bring on the Death Cloud!
  7. Rob, if you read this, you can call off any searching. I finally found one via Ebay. Thanks!
  8. And I had always thought that I was the only one. "Goliath", with Michael Ironsides and Emma Thompson. Made for TV movie circa 1984. Why on earth is it that I can remember terrible stuff like this, and not things like the girlfriend's birthday? Bring on the Death Cloud!
  9. Damn. I hadn't heard about this yet. Missed it by that much. RIP
  10. I think norge71 is probably right. These appear to be Star Wars quotes. Nevermind the exceedingly poor quality of my shrunken-down screenshots - see it for yourself. That's totally aside from the point.... I think... What was I going on about?
  11. ...And you know this, why? I thought that you were OK, up until that comment. BTW, the UFO-flying-lizard-alien guys that live in the center of the earth are gonna be pissed about this one. I have it on good authority.
  12. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Surplice-lace-...1QQcmdZViewItem Check the auction title.
  13. Something strange must have corrupted your installation. My HWTC mod still works, and it's been simply copied across three different [Win2k] system formats without reinstallation. If all else fails, send me a pm and I can help. Cheers!
  14. MikeZ, If you are unable to get it working using your current video card and need to perform a cheap upgrade, I'd second the choice of a 6600GT. Best bang for the buck in that price bracket. An ATI 9800Pro is a very close runner-up and is still a fantastic card even now. My old one still chugs along quite happily in my old P4 2.6 LAN rig. If you really wanted to make the most of that widescreen HDTV, $300 will buy you an X800XT All-In-Wonder. I bought one of these to replace my old 9800Pro in my current P4 3.4 rig, and the number of features and options is simply staggering. It gives you TV and FM tuners, a multifunction RF remote, innumerable A/V in and out options, time-shifted recording of live video and audio (basically a TIVO unit integrated on-card), and is very flexible in display setup. Paired with your 52" TV, it would be really sweeeet. Good Luck!
  15. It's also pretty banged up. I thought the rough design was similar, though I admit it's a stretch. But DYRL isn't real. 326417[/snapback] It is roughly similar, but I think it is of a different design. I believe that the Supervision Army had an ability to alter and repair ships that the Zentlaedi lacked, so it's possible to see multiple derivative craft. For all we know, ASS-1 was an obsolete hulk prior to its arrival on Earth.
  16. I'd tend to agree with Jenius, having owned both the Gakkens and Toynamis. A suitable analogy is that the 1/35 Gakken is to the MPC Alpha as the 1/55 Chunky Monkey is to the Yamato 1/60. While fairly durable and 'playable', the Gakkens fall down to the MPCs in terms of detail and posability... And face it, if we want Legioss/Alphas, there's not much other choice available, so we have to enjoy what we've got. ...Unless, your MPC is a lemon, in which case, get rid of it or have it replaced. I've been lucky in that none of my MPC Alphas have been true lemons, I'm sure I'd righteously feel differently if that were not the case.
  17. Another nomination for Shake N Bake. Screamin' deal for two misb TRU VF-1As and a misb VF-11. Items were shipped coast to coast extremely quickly, and very well packaged to boot. Thanks!
  18. Just an update to let anyone else who was interested in the book know that it is spoken for. Hope you enjoy it Ghiblione! Let me know when you get back home. Chas, thanks for the info. I wonder how many posters might have left the books before they were even sold? Might be a partial explanation for some of the oddities we see now. Still don't have any idea what's up with the two different dust jackets on the 8 release though
  19. From the wanted thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15996 Trying to obtain quantity figures. Please post if interested. Thank you.
  20. That's the most likely prospect in my view, with knowledge of how the aerospace or plastics industry usually works. We'd end up with a chunky, lithe, and flashy little number I think. Think MPC
  21. Absolutely frickin' identical mate - even down to the cover art and printing under the slipcovers. Wouldn't make any difference to me if I exchanged the slipcovers, excepting the poster - but I wouldn't do that! Maybe MW's listing deserves a rewrite? Calling BoBe Patt, calling BoBe...
  22. Ok, my "new" copy of Perfect Memory just arrived, and I am more confused than ever . If you will remember, I thought that this must have been the OUT 10 release, as the slip cover is slightly different than my other OUT 8 book, and this one has the poster. Well, confound it, this one is also apparently an OUT 8 book too. The poster was inserted loose between the back binding and the inner black lining page. I don't know if it was originally bound-in like the ones in my TIAS books... I don't think that this is a boot with the poster added, because the paper weight and inks are identical to my older original copy, but in far better condition (read: less careworn). Perhaps there were different versions of the OUT 8? Here is first pic of the my "new" book. Notice the presence of the words "Macross Perfect Memory" on the back cover. Also take note of the lack of price and script at upper right: Now here is the corresponding pic of my old copy, without the Macross text, but with price and script at upper right, and text running down the left near the spine: Next is front cover of the new book. Note sticker residue on lower right: And front cover of my old book: And finally, the poster. Note crease at LH/bottom area: All in all, I'm not sure what to make of the differences in these two books which are supposedly from the same release. However, the copy that I've offered here is indeed very nice and in very good condition, and does include the poster - though I'm not strictly positive that it actually came with the book originally. Any more thoughts from the experts? *Edit - added info
  23. Thanks for picking up the slack, RT junkie. Any idea as far as quantity required to make this worthwhile? I know that this subject comes up about every 6 months or so, and there is usually an extended list of folks interested... Mods allowing, I think a cross-post in the toys section would be a good idea.
