Yeah I'd prefer modern remakes of the old 8 bit games

That's not true. From my experience most Palladium fans are pretty loyal to the system dispite it's numerous short comings. The old saying can't teach old dogs new tricks is true.

This is very good Macross Cosplay. Even better since it is Classic Macross

Yes & No. A former player did several stats for the game that were very close to what I was looking for. I then got my hands on the Macross Plus Mecha conversions from V-Max. Using the MTS I took part those and the player's stats. Built them back up, made some changes. Plenty use of space & weight efficiency. Even computed the total cost. Later I was trying to do another variant of one and figured out I made a mistake in Cost. Not wanting to check over each step again, I said screw it. Doesn't really matter what the exact cost is. If you can make a mecha that doesn't "break" the rules make it regardless of what the actual cost is.

There it is. Easy to fix but leaves a mark. Don't know it is worth getting a replacement part for. Still works maybe I'll try to paint over the glue line. Just be carefull with the feet

First Broke VF-11B? Through a combination of who ever assembled it and my own hands I broke one of the feet. The front part of the foot or toes as I will call them. Connect at two points. They didn't connect them it at one of the points. What I thought was an extra foot articulation wasn't. Broke the only point of that was connected. Toes came off spilt in two. A broken off peg stuck in a hole. A little dab of super glue fixed the problem. Now on the seem there is tiny white line of the dried super glue.

I only have it on VHS. The movie is missing one thing the openning fight.

Got my VF-11B today. Planned to get a VF-1D next. Currently back ordered at the usual places.

The fleet they sent to Vulcan had large numbers of cadet crewing them. Add in heavy loses and heavy heroic will lead to some bumps in Rank. Did Kirk deserve a be made Captain? He cheated on a test, stowaway on the Enterprise, told Pike they were walking into a trap & was made acting first officer. That messed up there. One no else was qualified? Later Kirk broke Spock and took charge. Rest the crew didn't object. Kirk ordered the ship to action instead of rendezvous with the rest. Kirk had good instincts and was very lucky. Worthly of a reward but to be made Captain... I'm more concerned about how Pike was made Admiral. What did he do? Allowed himself to taken hostage, assigned a known cheater and stowaway as acting first officer.

Got mine a hour ago. I think the prior VF-11B had more arm articulation. This one has more leaner look. Older one was more wider/boxy looking. Getting the landing out is tricky. Same goes for the heat shield. A old familar transformation made more complex with so many extra locking little pieces. Gonna to have to keep the instruction guide near by when I transform it. Very impressed. Currently have it in Battroid mode next to my YF-19. Might have to buy a stand for it.

I was gonna see it in IMAX but they raised the ticket up by $3 from a year ago.

At least clean up your room and button your shirt before you film it.

Mine cleared customs today. I hope it arrives tommorrow.

Saw it. Good fun film. Much better than Wolverine. I have one issue. What is with Earth chicks going for Vulcans? Women are always asking "What you feeling?" Earth Men rarely answer. What makes them think Vulcans will? Maybe they are "bigger" but Vulcan's only have sex every 7 years right?

X3 was on cable last night. Here is what is wrong with that movie. Magneto see's Mystique's buck naked super model body laying on the floor. Weeps a little tear that she's no longer a mutant and leaves her. Sure some men prefer mutants just like some men prefer blonds but if can get a naked super model who cares.

Hobby Search is fast. I placed my order on the 6th. It was shipped out on the 8th. Arrived in country today and waiting for customs.

Here I am trying to raise money to buy more Macross stuff. A friend knows I have my Earlier Edition YF-19 for sale. They ask about the paint wear on the die-cast parts. I offer to take some pictures of the wear. I take a few and notice that the leg to body joints are really lose. I loosen them years ago because I remember hearing something about too much tension on these parts. It has gotten even loser since. I decide to tighten it up just a bit. I don't wanna sale a friend a floppy Valk. Twist the screw tighter a little bit. Then I move the legs at the hips with light pressure. Wasn't light enough. This is what happened: Close up: I do have a newer 1/60 YF-19 so this wasn't my only YF-19 toy. This was my first Yamato. Don't know how to even fix it. Both opposite ends of the broken part are connected to Spring/Screws which puts tension on both ends. A super glued part is not going to hold together as good as solid part.

Well other than Macross I don't watch much anime. I compare Macross Frontier to other parts of Macross not other current shows. Nothing against a ton of Fan service, I'm just not looking for in Macross. It just cheapens the series by pandering it to the lowest common denominator. These mouse pads just encourage it. Who ever is granting licenses is just rubber stamping everything.

So are the raised parts for wrist comfort or something else? You could also talk about Lucy's topless scene in Macross + Movie. Plenty of brief moments in other Macross Series. Difference is in other Macross Series you got get a fan service scene. With Frontier it is Fan service throughout.

How long was Minmay's Shower scenes? DYRL you get a two second shot of her topless than she's dressed the rest of the time. In Frontier nude shots are just as quick but there is more side boob hour.

I'm just getting back in the game. Selling off my Version 1. Keeping my 1/48. Ordered the VF-11B Still trying to decide what I want next. Can afford maybe 2 or 3 more at that point my toy money reserves will be gone and nothing good to sale off. I will be forced to save penny by penny since I'm working less (not by choice). It will then take me 2 months to save up for each one. I will have to avoid buying new video games or action figures during that time. When I buy a New Toy I prefer that it isn't one that I already have. Even if it is a different Scale. It will not feel like a new toy. Liking VF-1J Hikaru cause it is a classic, the VF-1D because I never had one and it is unique with the double cockpit. Those were made before the shoulder fix. Max, Hayao and the upcoming Mass Production ones are post shoulder fix. Not interested in those characters too much. Like the Mass Production but already have one in 1/60 Might get a Tomahawk. Thing is I don't want to get screwed by shipping. Plan to buy two at once and hope for a combine shipping cost. Trick is finding two that I want sold by the same seller at a fair market price. I just know when I use up all my Macross money Yamato will announce a 1/60 Regult.

Among other my geeky hobbies is an interest in Role playing Games, particularly Science Fiction. Currently doing one with a partner. Trying to get more interested people. Just think of it as a chance to be Moderated by me at two different places. MACROSS GALAXY PATROL Galaxy Patrol is Mecha Game based in the Macross Universe. It uses the Mekton Zeta System. The Game is about an Aviation Museum Ship and the Student Pilots drafted to protect after an attack injured the regular pilots. We Play By Post at Macross RPG GALAXIES. Many Other Games to enjoy there too. Fan-Fiction Meets Dice! http://www.macrossroleplay.org/forums/index.php

You must like Mylene's Valk.

Just proves what I don't like about Macross F is true. They makes a series with plenty of characters and situations to appeal to every fetish can think of without being overt. Then they have merchandise that goes even further in that direction. All these things don't help Macross. Well they help make money. Studies show that guys like boobies. Show more boobies get more money. Fans of boobies aren't buying stuff about boobies since they are fans of Macross. They are buying boobies because they are fans of boobies.
