I was doing some research... But don't different types of criteria affect different types of plastic? What type of plastic are you refering to? ABS, PET, PVC, Styrene, etc?

F360, It sounds like a Banpresto release, only bigger and a thousand time better.

milia ( 231 000 results) miria ( 61 500 results) millia ( 58 900 results) myria ( 70 000 results) mirya ( 26 700 results) To answer an age old dispute...What is the correct spelling of the green-haired, kick ass, valkyrie fighter pilot babe, who we all know and love, but can't seem to agree on the spelling of her name?

vf-1j ( 15 600 results) vf-1s ( 19 300 results) ve-1 ( 400 000 results) vf-1a ( 14 600 results) vt-1 ( 335 000 results) vf-1d ( 4 470 results) vf-1 ( 192 000 results) sdf-1 ( 89 100 results) mk-II monster ( 121 000 results) destroid ( 19 600 results) Now we know why the VT-1 and VE-1 are soooooooo coooool.

Try using steel wire. There is plenty at your local arts and crafts stores, just ask. It usually sold in a clear tube of three pieces. They are small enough gauges that you can use on the wings and are strong and stiff enough to support the weight. Just be sure to use the steel type and not the aluminum type. ***If you live in LA, there is a place called Allied Model Trains (in Culver City), they carry a wide selection of gauges and types. Hope this helps.

Now if he could only make a transformable VF-1...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. yum.

That is one sweet R/C.

I think you mean it was...water, fire, and wood. I remember those, they came in many different forms. They are almost like Pokemon, but these would kick your teeth in if you tried to capture them.

Starcruiser 1

Here's what I found. Based on the title craft from Gerry Anderson's STARCRUISER story concept, as featured in "Look-In" magazine during the late 1970s. Airfix marketed a snap-together kit titled "Starcruiser 1" (No. 07170-9). Box artwork showed the craft in space with its engines firing. Kit was done in white styrene with clear windows and canopy. The assembled model may be separated into four independent units. The model was originally conceived as a die cast toy, but the manufacturing process presented many technical problems and though the prototype (displayed in the Blackpool exhibition for some years) was used for reference, inevitably many parts had to be changed to suit die casting requirements When the toy reverted to a model kit, these changes were transferred. Two crewmen are included, though interior detail is limited, but the instruction sheet is excellent with "Typical Mission Sequence" art and detailed background information concerning the craft. Also by Airfix is a snap-together, 1/32nd scale, kit of the STARCRUISER INTERCEPTOR (No.05174-5). Quality is high Especially noteworthy is the sheet of rub-on markings, a considerable improvement over adhesive paper ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With a few exceptions, models described in this article have long been out of production. Many of those which were made were marketed in limited areas of the world, inaccessible to many in Anderson fandom. None of the kits listed, and with which I am familiar, are 100% accurate representations.

Oops, sorry. I think your right Exo, there are no differences between the two.

Tons of difference...mainly the build quality. Gakken's are far more sturdy that the Toymani Alphas. Does anyone have any side-by-side pics?

Hey Blaine, That's what I have going right now...the one room method. We have the items we collect together in one room of the house, and my mecha items are proudly displayed in another room of the house where I do customs and models. I understand my wifes concerns, in part it is because she is a purist and likes to keep the common collection morbid, that is why the room is called "the Nightmare Room". My own collection has plenty of room to thrive at my discretion and she occassionally asks how my guys are doing, which in turn let's me know she accepts there existence. Yang, why not try this method?

Jolly Rogers, How about some pics?

Jasonc Well spoken. That really only applies to GF status. Having a wife (soul-mate) is a whole different ballgame. Kudos!

There is nothing to give up, just try to make her understand this is a big part of you and is what makes you whole. If she can't accept that then I would say you really have to think long and hard if this is the woman for you. As time progresses, it will either get worse or better, depending on what you decide and not what she decides. Make a stand, but always compromise. Remember you have to be able to sway, just DON'T BREAK!

Yang, Compromise is the number one priority to any relationship. Believe me, my wife was a bit concerned when I rekindled my spark for collecting Macross. She was a bit worried it would change our common likes (other collecting habits). At first I went crazy and bought just about everything Macross in the 1/55, 1/60, 1/48 scales, which upset her. Then I proudly displayed them up in our "Nightmare Room" and she just frowned with having to see so many robots about the room. She asked me when it was all going to stop and I explained to her my resurged interest. Being that I grew up pretty much poor in Los Angeles, and was not really able to afford all the cool Taka items during my childhood. She began to understand that I never had much as a kid and now that I am an adult (I think) I am able to purchase these wonderful critters with ease. Being that she had been pretty much catered to as a child she did not really understand what I meant until she saw how trully devoted I was to my cause of living my childhood dream. In time she accepted my collection, eventhough it mostly resides out of site in a seprate part the house called the "Dungeon". Still, we compromised in the sense that she understood what it meant to me but, on occassion she does purchase a valkyrie for me every now and then. My wife is wonderful, I trully am lucky.

...An a paintchip on my Valkyrie!

The only thing these grey and supposed Optimus Prime valkyries are good for is knee joints for the 1/55. I made a knee mod using the elbows on these and they work great. I think they are a cross between the 1/100 bootleg and the 1990 bandai super, only it was done as a 1/72 (I think). In the toy district of LA you can get tons of these for little to no money. Buyer beware, these are extremely crappy toys!!! But are perfect for the little valkaholics in training. NB4M.

Ouch!!!

Hey DT and AO, Constructive feedback is greatly appreciated! Honestly though, if your main intent is to constructively critisize to make things better, then you failed. Why ask for the site to be shut down? Make suggestions instead, offer help, or just DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING. Build, customize, take on a new endeavor that is Macross based. No one is making anyone sound like anything, you do that on your own. I'm sure when the administration has time to play catch up, they will. Ease Up, It's Going To Be OK. NB4M

Now that's cool!

Hurin, You hit the nail right on the head! NB4M ***What happened to your arm? Is that what happens when you suggest the site should be shut down?

Hey, I've seen that before! I saw it a Big Lou's Collectibles. I can't remember the price, but it's pretty cool.

AgentOne, I wouldn't say the admin does not care about this site. It is more about keeping your priorities in order. *Graham - Just had a little Graham *Shawn - Not sure, but he has his reasons. That is good enough for me. Also, If Shawn did not care about the site, he could have easily terminated this site at his own discretion at any time he wishes. People have other things to do as well, besides MW. If Graham says Shawn will return in late December, let's just wait and see what happens. Also, if Graham needs time with the new addition, so be it. All in all, it is their site. NB4M,
