    Err....OK. I guess it makes sense in a sort of twisted way. Not that you are correct....................or are you! Mwahahahaha. Graham
  2. Not bothered about fitting it back in a tray. I always throw boxes away anyway. When toys get rotated off display, they go into zip-lock bags. I've ordered a couple of AG Scopedogs and 1 Fatty ground type. Graham
  3. The kit shown in those photos should be the Hong Kong recast of the old IHP variable YF-19 resin kit. HK-based Macrossworld member Valk009 was instrumental in getting this recast late last year IIRC. Just to clarify, the IHP YF-19 is a completely different kit to the later Liquid Stone YF-19, although they were both originally sculpted by Sakuragawa-san. Thus he title of this thread is incorrect, as IHP came before Liquid Stone. Graham
  4. Presumably you can glue on the fiddly bits to make them more secure? Graham
  5. Any comments on the Takara Actic Gear toys guys? Good or bad? I'm thinking of picking up a few for office desk toys. Graham
  6. Not yet that I know of, but HK bootleg anime DVDs are getting harder and harder to find here in HK, due to the extensive crackdowns and raids by Customs. It seems most HK bootleg DVDs are shipped overseas for sale rather than sold locally for retail. Graham

    Sorry, but just how the heck do you manage to come up with VF-11 from those lyrics? The mind boggles! Graham
  8. Why? To sell more toys of course. Graham
  9. Can't get into GGG as it has horrible kiddified mecha designs IMO. I mean c'mon, robots with trains for shoulders, lions on their chest, wielding big screwdrivers, and giant childrens squeaky hammers.......yuck. Plus the GGG opening song is one of the most annoying ever. Give me more serious real robot designs anyday, like Macross, Mospeda, Patlabor, Votoms, UC Gundam etc. Graham
  10. If I was going to buy an Eva toy, I'd definitely go with the SPEC on apperance. I find the purple metallic paint on the SoC looks horrid. Why did they have to make it metallic.....yuck! Graham
  11. Lyrics to the 1977 Hawkwind song 'Damnation Alley'. The song references the 1969 novel with its mention of serum, rather than the 1977 movie. i've got the serum and i'm going to take it all the way to boston oh i've got to get through the going won't be easy but i'm going to make it it's the only thing that i'm cut out to do ride the post-atomic radio-active trash the sky is on fire from that nuclear flash diving through the burning hoop of doom in an 8-wheeled anti-radiation tomb. thank you doctor strangelove for going doolally and leaving me the heritage of damnation alley damnation alley-way. no more arizona now phoenix is fried up oklahoma city what a pity it's gone. louisianna's wiped out and the mississip's dried up no more chattanooga cherokee, lexington. ride the post-atomic radio-active trash. the sky is on fire from that nuclear flash. diving through the burning hoop of doom. in an 8-wheeled anti-radiation tomb. thank you doctor strangelove for going doolally and leaving me the heritage of damnation alley damnation alley-way. craters coming at me now ashes coming at me radiation wasteland i've got my anti radiation machine oh thank you doctor strangelove for giving me ashes and post-atomic dust and the sky is raining fishes it's a mutation zoo i'm going down damnation alley well good luck to you...... ......................... armour-plated angel motor pony express going down damnation alley it's one hell of a mess the sky is raining fishes it's a mutation zoo i'm going down damnation alley well good luck to you.

  12. There is susbstance don't worry. Graham
  13. Looks like all the old OVAs were rereleased on DVD in Japan in February this year. Scroll down to the bottom of this page from the official Japanese site. I may order them, even though they are only in Japanese. Graham
  14. I've got about 3-4 more pages of stuff to put up, will try to get them done at the weekend. Graham

    It's lyrics from the hillarious 1974 Robert Calvert Album 'Captain Lockheed and the Star Fighters'. See: Wikipedia entry. Not related to Macross at all, sorry. Graham
  16. I wish somebody would Destroy Gundam. C'mon just put it out of its misery already! Graham
  17. This Votoms OVA Clip on YouTube looks fantastic. It's great to see the Turbo Custom in action. Graham
  18. It's an all-terrain vehicle that in the movie sported machine guns and rocket launchers and had to fight its way across the radioactive wasteland that most of the US had become. What's not to like! I'm a sucker for this type of vehcle and post-apocolyptic stories as well. UK group Hawkwind also have a great Damnation Alley song as well. Graham
  19. I really wish all the various Votoms OVAs would get an official English language release. I'm dying to see them. Graham
  20. Gamlin & Mylene are the main characters. Basara is just a side character. Mylene is so cute.....I love her! She's my favorite female anime character ever. Graham
  21. Watched it years ago on VHS, but don't remember being too impressed. Graham
  22. Some of my favorites, in no particular order: - 1) Macross (all series)...duh! 2) Wicked City. 3) AD Police OVA. 4) Bubble Gum Crisis OVA (not the crappy 2040 TV). 5) Record of Lodoss War. 6) Legend of Galactic Heros. 7) Blue Gender. Escaflowne. 9) Combattler V. 10) Mospeada. 11) Char's Counter Attack. 12) Perfect Blue. 13) Patlabor Movies, OVAs & TV. 14) Gall Force. 15) MD Geist. 16) 08th Mobile Suit Team. 17) 0080 War In The Pocket. 18) Victory Gundam. 19) Sonic Soldier Borgman. 20) Laputa. 21) Nausica. 22) Beserk. 23) Otaku No Video. 24) GITS 1 & 2. 25) Cowboy Bepop. My tastes are firmly rooted in he 80-90s'. I mostly like real-robot mecha shows, although there are exceptions. I tend to stay away from comedy anime, sports anime, romantic anime, super robot anime and anything involving Ninjas, with the exception of Ninja Scroll. Can't stand Evangelion or that GGG show. Akira is overated IMO. The animation is excellent, but the story leaves something to be desired. Never felt any connection with the characters either. I'd rather watch Memories instead. If I had to narrow it down to my top 3 favorite non-Macross anime, they would be: Wicked City, Blue Gender and Bubble Gum Crisis. Graham
  23. Yay, just got shipping notice from Amazon that season 3 & 4 have shipped! Time for some gratuitous S&W645 and Testerossa action! Graham
  24. Heh, but will it be the movie version with loincloth, or the comic version without? Graham
  25. Not sure why you are mentioning Bandai's name in connection with the new Macross series? At this stage, the name(s) of the major sponser has not been announced. Certainly, there has been no public announcement that Bandai is in any way, shape or form connected with the new series. The only confirmed players in the game so far are Satelite, Big West, Victor & Kawamori. Any other names are at this stage pure speculation. Graham
