I like how they portrayed the Team Knight Rider members as being weaker individually-not being complete without the combined efforts of the team, sort of like Voltron or something. They even went to explain this in the K.R.O. episode, stating that a situation like Michael Knight and Kitt, or Martin/K.R.O. was dangerous because it placed too much power in the hands of one man... Hey, was that a real 355? Maybe it was the smaller than stock wheels that made it look odd, but I would have sworn that K.R.O. was a replica car or something...

Oh I'm all about wasting s@@tloads of money. What fun is a hobby without the penchant for spending too much money? Why buy just one VF-1 Valkyrie when you can buy a bunch of them with the only difference being the color of the stripe on their bodies yet paying over $150 for each? I have both Star Blazers and the HK jobs, and I enjoy them both. As with Clash of the Bionoids, the hokey english acting keeps me awake and lends a twist to an otherwise droll 2 or more hours of monotone Japanese voice acting... As I said before pick this stuff up, English or HK version you'll win no matter what....

Gosh, there were 5 movies. Check them out here: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmg...tem/62529/4/0/0 Honestly though, I have to recommend that you watch the english versions of the series, as the voice acting of Desslok (sp?), IQ-9 and the other characters is unmatched and extremely enjoyable. If you do manage to pick up the movies, don't be confused by them as they do not follow a line of continuity amongst themselves OR even the series; I believe that the ship and crew pretty much die in every movie, for example... Pick this stuff up-you'll like it! Season 1 Quest for Iscandar: Earth Defense Force uses alien technology to seek out a way to combat deadly radiation bombing by the invading Gamilon race... Season 2 Comet Empire: Victorious Earth Defense Force, in the midst of picking up the pieces of the first war, face a new threat in the form of the Comet Empire, a race of beings in league with the Gamilons... Season 3 Bolar Wars: An errant missile impacts the sun and threatens to wipe out mankind again in just under a year-to the stars!

Great review-I just might go out and get this set. Have you considered reviewing the 21 Jumpstreet DVD sets?

I really, REALLY like the sound of that....

Only ones I've ever driven are the ones I own, my '69 Charger/440, '97 Z28 Camaro 'vert and '98 Mustang GT, although whiny muscle car purists would insist that the two pony cars don't count... Owning 3 maintenance and gas hungry muscle cars is getting kinda' old. I'm actually considering selling all three and getting a newer car that could replace all 3 of them, at least in performance...What do you guys think, an '02 or newer Cobra or something?

All this talk about raping childhoods is really starting to disturb me....

Well, if you want to avoid falling asleep due to boredom brought on by how much the VF-1 has been overdone, I'd recommend that you try and find the 'Low Viz, despite it's high price. The VF-1 in this version should keep you amused for a considerable amount of time.

I just removed every single damn one of them...

Ummm......I don't get it....

Those pictures have to be the result of someone's sick sense of humor. Jesus-give me G.I. Joe Extreme over this 8" stuff any day...

The Ghost fighters in Macross. Considering our current unmanned aircraft technology, are we really that far away from something like that?

Ah. The failure of western civilization strikes again... Seriously though, whether you're talking about thieves or the jealous onlooker, there will always be people out there whose response to seeing someone else with something that they want, is with thievery, vandalism or some other form of malice. To say that we live in a crazy world is probably the most grand understatement one could ever think of. If you value your life and your goods, in this day and age you should be VERY afraid for yourself... I seriously wish Bodolza would cruise on out here and obliterate this planet...

I managed to pick up a Windcharger and Ravage this evening-I guess the scalpers/cherry pickers are having the week off or something...

I identify most with Milia because we're both drop-dead gorgeous. Seriously, I don't relate to fictional characters, Macross or otherwise, because they're just that-fictional, mono-dimensional constructs that have no real value except for their intended role in the plot, or storyline. Also, considering that there are numerous facets of the human mind and being, it's inaccurate to say that we can truly relate to these fictional characters that merely personify a basic and extremely limited amount of character traits, such as being a "good" "bad" or "innocent", for example. Sorry to rain on the parade...

U.S. President and Naval Aviator...somehow that just doesn't sit well with me...

I'm glad that the Fell Beast didn't eat Shadowfax...

Nah, I'll just buy an Xbox and be done with it...

stfu....hmm....stuff-you? What we're dealing with here is probably a low browed wanderer from RT.com.... Move along...Move along...

The new sculpt is better but it really doesn't honor the impossibly sleek profile of the "real" thing. In regards to the landing gear, aren't the wheels supposed to come out of the wings or wing roots instead of the fuselage, as it did in the anime?

Macross Plus 'pods for me. If we could include other animes, I'd like to mention Voices of a distant star, or Yukikaze....

I harbor only a slight disliking towards Macross 7, although I feel that way about all of the Macross stories as I don't particularly care for the anti-war/pacifist message that they're always preaching. War and all that goes with it is generally a good thing...

What's even nicer is watching Italian exotics dominating a track with Japanese all-star-cars. I'm not into any of the foreign stuff, but seeing a copy of "Best Motoring International" was rather entertaining. Anyone else into those dvd's?

Totally off topic but I couldn't resist-the Monster is just more beautiful, PERIOD. Paris has to be one of the most unattractive of all females that I have ever seen.

You know, I was wondering about that. I had been trying to think of what the Monster's landing gear would look like, perhaps like a multiple wheel arrangement such as on a jumbo jet, the B2 or something like that. Of course, Yamato cheaped out and didn't design any landing gear at all. The lack of attention to something as remedial as giving an aircraft landing gear is almost as inane as selling the original YF-21 without gunpods. I have loved Yamato and their efforts, but this is getting ever so slightly ridiculous...
