  1. I recently read some where that hly floating head said that he will reveal the location of megaroad 1 and hikaru, misa, and minmey, they are ......in Eugimon's Omega Pants™ A scary dark place with no hope of escape

  3. Ahem brother, the bigger the better
  4. I have been one of the few people always against a new 1/60th line and still kind of am. I am not going to buy a lot and i love my 1/48s more than what i have seen here. But i will only buy the ones they didn't make as 1/48s, like two seaters and if they every make the vermillions squadron VF-1A colors. Other than that i am not that excited by them. Actually more disappointed i feel that it was a waste for me to shell out my life saving on valks only for them to be reissued in the original size for a cheaper prices. Oh well. I should also finally get a Q-Rau soon before people start lookking for those to go with their valks.
  5. My friend and i used to joke about Macross and say the best rule is to not really get attached to anyone because anyone can die at anytime. Roy was proof of that, as well as others. I have always felt that was one of the reason the show was so great. They put the realism of war in there. You never know who will actually come out of the battle. In GI Joe, everyone would come back so really there was no drama or suspense. The moment Roy died everything changed, then people started dropping like flies after that. And if you watch the Robotech version first like i did, the original bridge crew save Lisa all died.
  6. I work on a base that has SOCOM, Special Operations Command. I knw they are there, but i don't honestly know what goes on there. So there is my argument about that. It's like the CIA, you know about them, you sort of know what they do and what they use but that knowledge is like 5% of their overall capabilities and what is really going on behind closed doors.
  7. you know i am an educated and articulate person but sometimes no matter how i may express myself just saying it sucks or is crap is about the best way to define something. I can go into detail as to why if asked but it is how i feel. I did enjoy my toynami veritech (i refuse to call it a valk) but that was before i realized there is better quality, before i knew about aquiring stuff from japan. Since thin i have come to realize how bad it really is and worse how bad American company sees their toy markets. Much like cartoons, American companies still view toys as child play things, it is only in recent years that we have seen a real increase in toys aimed at an older market. Look at the Transformers toys, honestly the core trans audience you need to aim for isn't kids. Kids will pick and follow any trend really, but the adults that grew up with the transformers to begin with. If they had made the toys with that in mind like companies like yamato or even bandai's S.O.C. line then we wouldn't get the crap we do when they make toys based off our favorite childhood shows and what not. All toynami did was used the same basic scheme that other companies did and slightly improved them by adding an extra joint here or there. They didn't actually try to do something different. Yamato from the get go has strived for perfection in accuracy and they continue to get better. Their first run of Mac toys were good at the time when there was nothing else in the market but since they have continue to shock and really show us what can be done and how modern engineering has changed how transforming toys work. Yes they still have their faults, and their are still some issues but at least they are trying to give us what we want. Not just re hash old ideas. As far as the Bandai Mac 7 line, we it's odvious they weren't even trying their hardest. Their models were actually better than those figures. I have them and love them because it is all that is available but if the opportunity ever arises for another company to take a crack at the Mac7 line best be sure that i would leave my current stuff in their box (as i do with my veritech) and go for the real deal. I am not asking for much other than at least try and make something worthwhile and not halfa$$ it.
  8. Once again highly recommend. While the action takes a back seat some time the story as a whole never does and you will not be disappointed.
  9. It's one of my favorites. Well paced, great story and one of the best and most touching endings i have seen in a long time. Definitely worth watching and owning.
  10. Yeah because then it seems like any damage has no real effect on the show. It is like how comics kill people only to know they will come back eventually. I think that key will play into something bigger later or just lose its power hopefully. I remember seeing the preview for the show a while back isn't Suri supposed to get some kind of transforming armor or whatever?
  11. I don't know the current fate of the Mac7 license other than Bandai had it and just didn't care to make quality stuff. I do have a VF-19 red and blue and a VF-17 (Diamond Force if you are still wondering) but they just aren't all that great at all. Hopefull Bandai will get off their ass and do some justice to the license especially with the whole Macross resurgence across the board lately thanks to a new show. Get them if you want but don't expect to much out of them like you do with yamato valks.
  12. I found a cowriter lol, that's genius hahahaha
  13. You know the perfect street fighter movie has been made. It just needs to be tweaked a bit, but Street Fighter II the animated movie pretty muched summed everything up the way it is supposed to be.
  14. it is, she seems to be from middle eastern decent, which is cool that they are trying to be more multicultural. And of course it was kind of childish. They make justice league for older audiences because comics are no longer being read by kids, but by older people. Transformers is still being watched by children hence why the last three shows lasted as long as they did on american television. So might as well stay with the core audience even though many older people still enjoy transformers. The kids are the ones still being the mostly crap toys lol. All in all i liked it and can't wait to Jan 5th for the actual season. Hopefully the first three episodes aren't repeats of the special.
  15. I am only playin the 360 cause it's all my brothers have. When i get back to tampa i will play my friends PS3. I have played both and like both. I want to stay with playstation cause i still have ps2 and 1 games that i can still play. Plus it's a blu-ray player which i really want too. I am ready to experience HD anything, and so far i have been behind the times.
  16. well i have been thinking about a 80gb PS3 but i have recently heard of the story about the small microchip company trying to recall of them. While i highly doubt that's possible it makes me second guess the purchase. I really want to play MGS4, as well as FF13 and other upcoming exclusives and i am loyal to playstation, though i have had a lot of fun playin a 360 lately. So what is the best course of action? Wait and see or just jump in?
  17. went to a matinee it was exactly what i thought it would be, but at least it was bloody. Not to be an ass or anything but i hate that they dumbed down the violence in the last one. Two rated R properties and a merged PG-13 film never sat well with me. i feel that if there is a next one, i should direct, and akira the guru producitons should handle it. It will be in space in the future in closed areas. the best film would have been scientists doing research on a planet that has the xenomorps, and the preds are there for hunting. Space marines would be doing security detail so that has all the elements. Scientist being dumb or corrupt with the xenomorphs, lets them loose, the preds hunt them down and kill a few annoying humans in the process, then they team up but it is an uneasy alliance. After they kill (or so they think) all the aliens they turn on each other. All of a sudden a queen pops out and it is a free for all to get off the planet and to safety. who wins? Who survives? that's my little secret.
  18. I saw it on cartoon network yes, and for those of you who want to see it it will be shown again on saturday morning. I liked it, it reminded me a lot of the original. It wasn't as bad or as cheesy as i originally thought. Oh and Starscream was classic SS. There is no doubt about it, seems like they finally made a decent cartoon since Beast Wars.
  19. OMG!! i just had an optical orgazm. That was so amazing and with tons of references to the original show as well as DYRL. I am so hooked now. I want more eps right now.
  20. I was doing searches for macross and robotech toys long ago and happened to stumble acrossed it. Though it took me a couple of years to find my way to the forums, i just stayed around the main pages drooling over toys and models that i couldn't have or afford. Thank god for yamato for making dreams come true
  21. The sad thing is that he did that to 3 characters that mattered, made a difference, and had love triangle that was resolved; yet he lets these idiots roam free. I would love to read his mind and see why he does what he does, maybe it is to drive us all f***ing crazy. Good thing he still makes beautiful valks (although they all aren't winners such as the MAXL VF-11.)
  22. ha! i didn't catch that wardrobe malfunction at first hmm. I wonder too.
  23. I got all that actually, i just felt that there was still something missing, something not explained all the way, meh oh well.
  24. Hey i think you guys are missing something here. If yamato doesn't want to do a 1/60 scale on the VF-11 that means they feel it is too small. I think that they like the bigger scales. So this means that those of you asking for the VF-1 line to go to 1/60 are most likely out of luck. And i am glad for it, i could honestly care less about the scale, i only care to have big toys, it is more impressive that way. So odds are we are looking at a 1/48 scale VF-11 so that it will be roughly the same size as all the other valks. Good on you yamato with sticking with big toys, unless i am wrong about this whole thing then you can all yell at me later.
  25. Timothy Olyphant was good as a calculating hitman. Parts of the movie reminded me of the Star Wars Bounty Hunter Wars where he sets stuff up so far in advance you don't see it coming till the end. Also for those wondering if they play up the religious angle that the commercials are selling it is false. I don't think there was ever mention of him being a saint or blessed or anything. You see a priest at the beginning or someone dressed like one but it has nothing to do with the story. I do recommend this film for anyone looking for a good action flick, or anyone who has like real nice suits with red ties.
