Totally unconfirmed but a hint of truth! http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29848 Virgin Road 2 Seater.

Yes... we do rock...

from what I remember, the peanut gallery was WITH Ryno. Suspending and ultimately banning was a moderator group decision...

I think we went thru that already... well good luck with your attempt there. And the spambots... lol.

He should go to the con if he wants... things that get posted here sometimes get taken too seriously. That's just someone's opinion (about it being awkward).

You think we should reinstate someone that breaks other rules because they can't take a 3 day suspension? I tried to make a counterpoint by using other people that were given warnings as an example. Is it fair to those guys, who weren't even suspended but just warned to let other people walk all over the rules? I know this is just a toy forum but we have simple little guidelines to keep it from becoming a free for all.

this is cool! The only thing they haven't announced is this, the M&Ms and the Angelbirds... geez.

whoah... that's a long post... call the padre! The Spirit of Hurin compels me... The Spirit of Hurin compels me... The Spirit of Hurin compels me... The Spirit of Hurin compels me... The Spirit of Hurin compels me... The Spirit of Hurin compels me... The Spirit of Hurin compels me...

I originally locked the thread and others thought it was better to remain opened since this seems to be a persistent problem for the mods. An uninterrupted feedback from the members would probably help the site more than an explanation from the evil tyrants of the boards. Just to let you know... Anything that makes this duty seem like a job pisses off the mods, so the repetition of this issue is exhaustively offensive. But to help shed some light: FYI, Ryan did send a letter that was posted by admins in the mod section asking to be reinstated. He promised that he would not again make a duplicate profile and start posting on MW. He promised that he learned his lesson and would never ever do it again. It was sent to an admin forwarded by another member. And he was sent a reply stating that his request would be reviewed in 3 months. Little did we know that he was already posting under a different profile during that time. That also didn't lend credibility to the person that forwarded the note. If you were given 5 guesses on how we know that it was Ryan, you would probably be right on all 5 points. It wasn't that hard and it was pretty obvious and very solid. If you take even more guesses, the percentage of you being right would still be pretty high. There are a lot of predicaments that could happen when a member that was banned tries to come back under a different profile. First of all, a permaban is a permaban. We've only had one occasion where it was reversed, I wouldn't hold my breath for anyone else, especially now. One of the main concerns, other than rules being rules is that when a banned person starts dealing with merchandise or money with other unsuspecting members, then there's the problem of someone getting shorted if that person's new profile was cut off again. I'm not saying that that person is out to steal money, but that person is very much aware that if he is found out then his account would be suspended again in the middle of a transaction. The mods and admins of this site are in no way responsible of any transactions that happen in the For Sale/Trade Section. But we can't help but try to protect people from losing their money or part of their collections as we are all fellow collectors. We weren't aware of the deal going on mentioned earlier on this thread but other transactions were monitored until it seemed like it was complete. Again, if there was anyone that were dealing with Ryan at the time his new profile was banned, we are in no way at fault. There is only one person to blame, but hopefully that's not an issue. Multiple profiles is a big issue when it comes to forums. Anyone can guess why, think of the trouble of one person being many different personalities on one board. I'm not even gonna get into it... you guys figure it out. Other member's have been sent warnings about spamming... every one of them didn't have a problem with it... no drama, no fuss. Most of them still post now. One smiley posts and FTW's are discouraged but once and a while isn't offending. I do it myself... MWers aren't meant to walk on eggshells. But answering every post like they were personally directed at you, especially with a spamlike reply becomes an eyesore for other people and to continue to do so after a warning is just blatant disregard for the forum rules. In no way am I trying to explain the action of the mods... I'm just trying to point out why the rules are what they are. BTW... By Jeniffer Aniston, we mean Jeniffer Aniston, Zardoz, Manfaye and whatever else there is...

ummm... I hope you didn't just get a new tattoo... the replies make it even funnier...

I've seen the Samurai Champloo before but I wouldn't get it unless they had a Fuu figure to come with it.

Pretty sure that rule's been there since the beginning of MW.

haha... they can start their own thread. 1/60 is a toy collector's scale! I'm wanting those 1/48 Hasegawas though.

That was my point... we had seen the Scott sculpt way before its release, as oppose to what Raven said about not seeing right before the release. Rand is going to be released soon and still nothing.

That's the kinda thing that bothers me about that whole RT.com comradery though... no one speaks about how bad their crap is until they get ostracized from the "insider" group. Being their friends doesn't mean SC was good but no one will say it, I'm not talking about within the circle, but out to anyone else. Once Memo loosens his gripping pucker long enough from their asses (which we know will ever happen) he'd be so bent out of shape too and finally admit that the current stuff is way below par of the what the current anime/manga animation and toys are producing, and most of those things are crap too, but the HG produced merch is is way below the par.

Actually we didnt get news of the different head sculpt until there was an actual picture of it. I remember because I took that pic at SDCC. Which was a few months before both versions of the release. It was also the same time we realized Toynami was releasing the Beagle as their MPC.

Thanks to everyone updating the thread... oh man... when is it gonna stop!!! not that I'm complaining...

Well unless a good translator tells us otherwise then this news went from interesting to annoying.

I like the MP F-15s... I didn't even know they were called Seekers. I wouldn't trade them for any of my Yamatos though, unless it was one of my v.1 1/60s.

Motherfrakkers...

its the only movie I'm waiting for this year... worth waiting for this year.

I'm all over it like white on rice on a filipina!

Cool, this is the first time I was glad to see a parachute in a GI Joe Cartoon. Those people that complain about characters dying don't realize that it's what makes a story good. Zartan had a better scene in this show than in any past cartoons. The one thing I don't like are the faces... and maybe the Destro design, but I'm not complaining... rather have that than a crappy G rated cartoon. This kinda brings back that feeling of watching the first mini-series as a kid, without being treated as a kid. Still won't buy the toys though... I wish I can afford the Medicom ones.

Haha. In shame! I like the Beagle sculpt too. I kinda agree with Darrin as far as a different head sculpt as a way of making it the limited edition that Toynami needs for their MPC line, but man... no pics.. shoulnt surprise anyone though... this is Toynami we're talking about. Now how about making some decent Alphas to go along with the Betas... all we really need are better arms and smaller damn toes, and there you go, instant milkage!

I'm sorry. I need to clarify... Is there going to be a seperate Toynami sculpt of Rand's head?
