  1. So its ABS. While I have the kits already I want the blankies. Hmmm only the VF-1J will come with the baby pod. I guess that makes sense.
  2. You can do it and it might work, but it's the worst thing to do with your money. There's so much way better investments out there. You have to already have money to do such a thing first of all and then be willing to sit on it for a year or two in hopes that it'll triple in value. And what if in the time you hoped they accumulated that much there's a rerelease or a newer better version that another company decided to produce? The only way you can make real money off toys is to just make it a real business and treat as such and then be good at it because there's plenty of competition. Speculating and hoarding toys won't make you rich.
  3. OK. Maybe that was a bit harsh... I meant Robotech/Toynami completists...
  4. They're mostly 8 inches tall, but I noticed scale differences between some licenses.
  5. I don't know about fantastic or cheap. These are still overpriced for what they are. And to get a valk with FP how much does that end up being? These are low run toys and are maybe at the best mediocre in their success so they'll always be retailed more than they are worth. Their final price is not decided by retail, it's either they end up in the bargain bin or because the runs are so low, they end up being more expensive because they are scarce and completists and speculators are idiots. The only real draw about the Regult is that it's the only ready to display "toy" released in the market. And should vinyl even be considered toys? They're really just soft statues. I think you get more play from a 1/72 kit. But toy people don't want to pay that much and still have to build it (and I don't blame them). So all of a sudden this toy is considered awesome. If someone released a 1/100 non transformable valk in the market, would it be called awesome? No. It's called a gashaphon. And the credits of the awesomeness of the Beagle does not go to Toynami... who do they go to? The people that are designing Yamato toys. They just finished the 1/60 Fire Valk. Toynami is just the distributor. And even their worldwide license couldn't save a great toy. I mean the whole debate about whether or not Big West should deal with HG is so that we can get imported products at a lower price. But we're they able to to give it a much wider distribution that we got it at an affordable price? Granted it was less, but the whole point is that they'd have enough muscle worldwide to advertise and and increase the number of units per run, do you think we got that from HG? And after all the crappy unplayable toys, do you really need new reasons to not like Toynami? That's not crap in your sandbox left by the haters... those are just the toys you bought from Toynami.
  6. *Follows*
  7. Funny you don't mention Riding Bean... lol. Maybe its on the site already... dunno.
  8. There's a good chance that they're all gone since there's only 2 people left on MW...
  9. Grey was much better on comic book form. I was just thinking about how we need a site dedicated to 80s anime. Not just mech stuff, but also things like the original Lodoss cartoon.
  10. Good solid episode.
  11. I'm not sure yet if I want to see this, but for some reason the re-invigoration of the property is exciting news. I'm thinking A Hot Toys Deckard with a Voight-Kemp Machine and a 1/6 scale spinner... lol. Now... Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... your mother.
  12. I just wanna see some glorious spinners flying across the awesome cityscapes. None of those Fifth Element/Judge Dredd/Anakin chase crap.
  13. http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/toldja-ridley-scott-will-direct-follow-up-to-blade-runner-for-alcon-entertainment/ Three-time Oscar-nominated director Ridley Scott is set to helm a follow up to his own ground-breaking 1982 science fiction classic Blade Runner for Warner Bros... Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me - cold fish.
  14. C.O.N... spiracy!!!
  15. I sorta want it but the under-articulated 1/18 figs are kinda disappointing. But a 23" Voltron sure sounds good.
  16. Ugh... just put away my Chun Li collection but I think that'll be the one that replaces all of the items I put in the garage.... It's so freakin awesome... I might get Cammy too.
  17. They're both in the gallery section http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=917&do=view_album&album=164 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=1652&do=view_album&album=161
  18. There are such thing as parasitical plants. Plants that attach themselves on other plants or fungii and sustain off their nutrients. In the right environment they can flourish and kill off native species.
  19. beautiful harmony! thanks for sharing!
  20. You're like my puppet! I'm gonna watch the episode again. Seems like I watch each one twice. I saw the first hour 3 times. But I'll watch this episode later this week without the "WTF are they wasting a whole episode on Strawberry Shortcake for!" attitude. I still enjoyed it but I was watching it the whole time thinking, when are they gonna get to Panthro!?!
  21. Nice... I did a search and all I found were the 8 eps. With 24 eps and 2 seasons confirmed, it makes this episode that much easier to swallow... thanks!
  22. I liked the story but at 8 episodes a season, I just want them to get on with the core story or Thundercats vs. Mummra and co. (nutants?) 4 more episodes to go and halfway thru the season. Excellent ending though.
