Valkyrie Hunter D

Yeah, two of three games Warmaker mentioned was brought to the U.S. by Renovation, and I would always look for what they were putting out. I only knew them as the game company that had dem kewl annie-may cutscenes. I think the last Renovation game I played was El Viento. Good times, Warmaker

Awesome! A real life GI Joe vehicle!

Side-kick WAVE!!!

Wow, what's with the surge of new Patlabor toys in the pipe? Not that I'm complaining, I'm definitely getting all of them-heck just the fact the Griffon is getting a figure is enough to make the Patlabor fan in me squeal with glee. And finally Dangaioh gets some love.

I would stomp on a whole litter of baby penguins to get a hold of that Zillion toy. But yeah, my vote is still on BGC. CM's put out the Knight Sabers toy line, and aren't they a part of Yamato? So bring on the motoslave...all the boomers, Macky's hardsuit, the DD Battlemover, AD Police Fodder, the armed gyrocopters, and don't forget the huggable full body Linna pillow!

Mmmmm...Motoslave...

This is why I cancelled my pre-order as soon as I saw the final colors. As much I dig the toy, I'm gonna wait for the cartoony version to come out. Seeing as how Takara can do so many variations on this mold, it'll only be a matter of time.

I liked the movie for the one big thing it offered that the comics never had-a friggin ending. A sequel with John Woo sounds interesting, hopefully he doesn't put in more scenes with doves flying off; that got old with me real fast.

Yeah it does. Check this link out on how to find them. It sure helped me so I hope it will you. 402471[/snapback] I didn't even know there was an XB-70 in there-thanks for the link!

According to the battle records, I'm still missing quite a number of aces. I know different aces appear depending on the pilot class (Merc, Soldier, Knight), but does it also depend on game difficulty?

Nice! Please put me down for two sets of the VF-1 and VF-0 combo. And if the GBP armor sticker set pans out, I'll take one of those as well!

I thought I was done playing this game until I tried out the Morgan's tac-nuke special weapon. Daaayum.

The show's got some sweet fight scenes, and now I'm going to have to watch it again to piece together the story. The main char's suit reminds me of one of Yoshimitsu's costumes in Tekken.

Damn, I didn't know the pre-orders went that high for the Macross DVDs. For me it would have to be a Firefox resin kit I bought a couple years back. That'll come in second place once I get the new ED 209 toy though.

Bean's hardcore. The first time I saw the OVA, I was hoping more episodes would come, but oh well.

I think that's a screencap from Scramble Wars where a bunch of SD Artmic chars get in a goofball race.

Do you have a completed game save from AC5? That's what unlocks it if it's your first play through. And I don't think you'll get the Falken that easily. But yes, if you blow everything up on the field (that windmill doesn't stand a chance!), the mercenary class is easy to get.

"Boxer is no one's bitch!!"

If you're a big fan of the series, then this one shouldn't disappoint. It adds a lot more background to AC5. I've only gone through the game once, and I actually wouldn't mind going through it again. The quick manuvering type mentioned by DH, QAAMs. Depending on what plane you have, they might not be available. Sometimes getting close might not be enough cuz most of the aces suddenly get a manueverability bonus as soon you squeeze off a couple of missiles on what you thought was a clear shot. When an opponent is in the middle of roll is the best time for missiles to hit. If you can anticipate such a window of opportunity, fire away. And if you can, hose 'em with your guns.

I just stayed at a cruising speed (or slower) while heading south. As soon as the big red fuzzy dot shows up on radar, I bank hard left or right to avoid the dot and speed up while still going in a southerly direction. When the laser stops, I turn directly south again and slow to cruising speed and repeat the process. I only got zapped once because I was trying to get the hell out of dodge as soon as the laser came down, and I was just going way too fast to get out of the way.

Graham, IIRC, there's couple of Apaches that creep up on the rescue chopper while some fighter planes close in as well as some mobile SAMs and AAAs. Those Apaches are what kept shooting the rescue chopper in my case. Aside from looking out for the Apaches, I say just keep a tight circle around the rescue party.

Thanks, I was wondering where exactly AC3 fits in all this.

Nice, I was hoping this game would hit US shores. Yeah, I'm hoping for some subtitles too; Sega's voice actors always came with extra cheese.

At first just tail him like any other bogey, fire missiles when you're close and have a clear shot (if you have the super homing missiles, even better). Stay alert for a huge blast he occasionally sets off when you're behind him, but it's fairly easy to dodge. During the second half of the battle, slow down until he charges you. When he does, build speed, quickly fire off a couple of missiles then dodge his own volley. It's sorta like a joust. Lather, rinse, repeat...

Woo, this game's a blast. Not a lot of mission variety so far; it's like an add-on disc for AC5, but I like the branching system. Supreme Mercenary is easy to get, but that damn Sorcerer squadron caused me to make a couple of mission restarts. And I was hoping to see a reappearance of the secret plane from AC2, but no dice. BTW, is AC3 in the same timeline as the rest of the ACs? I remember being inticed by all the cutscenes, but I can't remember a lot of the story elements now.
