DARKWIND

Yeah some cats out there are getting really hard up. . . Or just down right sh*tty. That is a whole new low. . . But not really a new trick. . . Tough luck man

I agree very good show, one of my favorites. . .

The way I look at it most of the action oriented shows were ok. But, then when it came to the majority they sucked. . . And the sad thing about it all, the list is still not finished . . . Here's my list. . . Smurfs Snorks Biscuts (Tiny dogs like "Smurfs") Gummi Bears Gilligan's Planet Denver The last Dinosaur Dinosausers Captain Planet Bigfoot Goof Troop Rescue Rangers Just a few. . . . .

Yeah you're right RADD. . . But, wouldn't it be nice to see an Alt/Blt Aerialbots set? That forms Superion!!!!

Hey don't forget about us working stiffs who joined the service went to Japan, and buy them at TRU Japan the day they release!!!! But seriously folks, I too am a completest. . . So I have about one of everything and multiples of the CF VF-1A's & Low Viz 1/60- 5 CF 1/48- 2 Low Vis 1/48 Fast Packs- 9 sets Yeah about $4000 easy so far in both scales. What can I say I love the Valk's design in both scales . . . To me Yamato got it right. . . . My Valk addiction? Paid for, but not sonsored by the U.S. Navy

Let's just say that wars cannot be won by just singing a few songs. . . If they could this would all be a moot point. . . (And I would be in a different line of work. . . ) Now let it be known that this is not exactly "goofy" in a sense. (Face facts, it made an interresting way to look at fighting a war) But in our society, if it didn't happen yet it probably won't. . . Even in the anime there were "show me" people who just didn't believe. . . So even after seeing it with their own eyes they still were ready to "duke it out". . . And weapons were the only way to do that. . .

The one true "Supes". . . Not many could really takes his place. . . Not sure if any could. . . He will be missed. . .

Ok. . . First, let's look all Transformers ever made. . . (click over to your favorite TF site for a reminder). . . Now let's compare them to the BT/ALT of now. . . I see a huge simalarity. . . . They are ALL "Robots in a shell", hence the phrase "Robots In Disguise" If they weren't "robots in a shell" then they would be just "Robots, . . with lame toy cars, and etc. . ." I suppose you could redesign them with removeable outer "shells" but, then you would have these crappy cars/car parts laying around and we know the "fans", just think of the reply. . . "Prime never shed his skin like a snake how dare they make this crap and call it Optimus Prime! ! !" I don't know about anyone else here, but so what if the toy has a roof for a chest. . . Or the front end of an 88' Caprice Classic for it's asscheeks . . . The draw to these toys is that they are different from other toys and more like two toys in one. . . Name one Transformer (new or old) that completely hides it's alternate mode to the point that if you saw it as a robot, you could not tell what it would be at all. . . I mean every last one of them has either a wheel, wing, an engine, an exhaust, a tooth, tusk, claw, paw, fin, tire, tank treads, cockpit, or something hanging off, protruding from, blatantly oozing out of it. . . Only it the cartoons was it ever really a mistery who formed what or what type of car did this guy become. . . Second, it's just the way toy technology is right now . . . And yes, it is better than 20 years ago. . . 'Cause back in the day, there was little to no real articulation in any of them. . .

I too hope that the Garland is variable and, the rider can still fit inside. . . 'Cause I think that if you mod it just right a Microman figure might be able to fit just fine. . . Any idea when it will hit the streets????

Hey Q, Relax, It isn't your site I'm talking about bro'!! There was another one mentioned here and it's got me bummed (not P.O.ed mind you). . . Both are good, but. . . Your site is cool straight forward and to the point. . . A + B =C no confusion. . . K.I.S.S.= Keep It Simple Stupid Something anime moguls sometimes forget to do. . .

Ok at a risk of sounding dumb. . . When I start the demo disk it says "view movie", hit start and boom nothing but the movie comes. . . Now two questions: One, is this the same demo that comes with the "DEF Jam 40 covers" OCT mag? Two, is there a special section I should be looking in to start this demo??? A friend of mine and I both got this mag for this reason and neither disk shows the demo, jujst "play movie" for Ace Combat 5. . .

OK, OK now you guys have me looking for anything Dunbine!!! Still reading at a site for Ideon and so far the story is a little confusing. . . Guess I have to actually see the show first. . . Or it could be the guy who's telling it (website owner), isn't that great a story teller. . . That, and already seeing the ending have me a little bummed on it. . . But thanks for the info. . . Keep it comming. . . Now to research Dunbine. . .

How did you guys get the demo to work? For some reason all I get is the video. . . As nice as it is I want to get in the action!!!!!!!

Thanks guys!!! Going to check this out now wish me luck. . .

Thanks for the help anyway Syngyne, . . . Any one else care to try to take a crack at it???

I was just zipping around the net and found a new figure for it from Yamato. . . But the sad thing is while living here in Japan I have only seen one episode of it . . . The Final Episode where everyone dies and goes on to the big pearly gates. . . To me it looked like it was kind of a tear jerker . . . Cause as in most anime when someone bites the big one it is for the good of all. . . But the whole damn thing is kind of anti-climactic. . . Maybe cause I didn't see the whole thing I'm missing "all the heavnry grory". . . Could someone here Help me "not concentrate on the finger" (lol) Sorry thinking about another flick at the moment. . . But seriously can ya help a brother out???

The boxes were a nice touch. . . But what were they really?. . . A suckerpunch to get people to buy them. . . Toynami missed Yamato and got the all the "diehard" RT fans with it. . . After that, Toynami's MPC fell on its face, only to be stomped on by Yamato's 1/48's. . . "A sh!t sandwich is still a sh!t sandwich, no matter what you put on the plate with it. . ." Seriously IMO, if the box looks cool it's worth keeping. . . And that's ONLY if the toy is worth a damn . . . I've picked up toys off ebay and tossed them cause I thought the toy inside was going to be outstanding. . . (Ex. IMHO, those mini variable Cyclones by Gakken, UGH A DISSAPOINTMENT!!!!) These companies should stick to Design, Production and Q.C. and that's it. . . Worry about the box after the toy is solid and well accepted in playtests or polls. . . If you buy the toy and it's breaking or not working like it's supposed to. . . To hell with the toy and the box. It's almost like misrepresentation if the toy inside isn't a MASTERPIECE!!! (Or at least as good as the competition. . .)

Yeah I would like to AM2 or Namco do the next macross game . . . Think about it any one of the VF's in Ace Combat redered graphics. . . Sweet!!!!! And like I said give us the ability to choose sides and use enemy mechs. . .

If ya gotta go do it on your feet. . . Thanks guys I was wondering if it was worth seing or not. . . And now I still want to see it. . . Sounds cool. . . Hell I've got both the microman figures. . .

Cleveland, yup that's me!!!! "That's Naasty. . . . "

All I want is a SOC Combattler V and I'll be happy. . . I already have Dancouga and Zambot. . . Anybody know where a Bro' can find one for sale??? (on or off-line)

wrong place. . .

Sorry bro's NO news. . . . Nothing on any Macross games. . . First, I tried, NADA. . . Then, my friend who speaks fluent Japanese tried. . . Nothing. . . Just kept getting "Gomen-nesai, Naii-desu shiranaii, No plans. . ." But we did try to shoot my ideas by them. . . I don't think it will go anywhere, but hey who knows. . . . .

Yeah I saw your post a few days ago. . . But sometimes (here in Japan) if you hit the right stores early, 'ya might find something before everyone else. . . Its happened to me a few times in the past. . . Hell, that's how I got those extra TRU valks (and other toys) I sold here in the past. . . It pays to be a detective . . Ya gotta treat this hobby like CSI. . . You have to shake down any leads you get no matter the size. . . Work it till you hit paydirt. . . Then sit back in your room/toy museum and drink a cold one to a job well done! ! !

No problems with my BT Smokescreen either. Was there ever an issue? The only issue I have with Meister is the gun. It looks too weird with the gun "hollowed out" on the left side. Hey Wolfx, Did you get the Binaltech Meister yet? Or are you talking about the Altenator release. . . I know they both use the same gun design I'm just trying to find out if it has hit The streets yet. . .
