  1. It was a fairly popular thing more so at hobby shops since the old zoids were more like wind up kits. I think robotix kinda took off a bit due to a cartoon and more options as far as what the machines could actually do, but price made them more rare unfortunately.
  2. Definitely a cool toy for the imagination. I only had a few as a kid, but a friend of mine would find less than complete sets at cheap goodwill type places and would use the motors and stuff to make odd mechanical creations. I always wondered why he never got into the whole battling robot thing. He seemed to have had the concept long before that battle bots show aired
  3. I think the guy was just having fun with his toys
  4. I had a couple, but really wish I had more. It was a super cool concept almost more realistic ships and fighters with pilots that had magnetic feet to kinda give more of a zero g kinda feel. Also was just watching the intro for the show on YouTube about a month ago and that was actually pretty cool
  5. I don’t make comments for a reputation from likes, but if someone wants to tap the button and doesn’t want to be known, I don’t have a problem with that at all. I’ll just take it as a silent high five or something
  6. Still love it. One of the more fun real robot shows. Not really in for expensive toys personally, but still hoping for some model kits maybe if moderoid tries to do them
  7. I barely remember Megaforce other than being a joke on Southpark and the recent model kit. Surprised it’s actually popular in Japan, must be the flying bikes
  8. Oddly, Anaconda looks more fun. Didn’t really care for the original, but kinda like the concept for this one
  9. Nice to see that even with that bulky chest armor that he can still afford aim that gunpod
  10. Oh, are the replacements going to fix the articulation?
  11. I just wish HG wasn’t so big in blocking everything. There’s so many cool items like toys and models and even licensing deals they could make some cash from if they were more lenient on their take home pay. As far as Fasa, that was just grabbing designs and renaming things without dealing with the licensing. I still remember the classic Macross and Dougram designs that made the backbone of their games. Oddly their original designs weren’t necessarily terrible even though they were somewhat derivative and if they had just stuck to making their own thing then they probably wouldn’t have had the tarnished reputation that they gained.
  12. Mine hasn’t been quite as bad, but still not so great. Hopefully your lady pulls through and she can be back home soon to comfort you and maybe a happy new year will be coming your way
  13. I had a mad cat vinyl kit back in the day. That and an ED 209. Fun pains in the butt for sure. Battletech was definitely trying to take the designs they originally ripped off and change them up to make them somewhat similar in shape yet different enough to seem like original designs
  14. Did something go wrong with their toys?
  15. That’s an interesting change
  16. I’m honestly a bit confused by the purpose. It appears to be a recon unit in fighter mode, yet close combat in soldier mode. I guess it would be a bit cliche if it was a sniper in soldier mode, but close combat just seems like an odd choice. Not gonna ruin your fun, just a little confused by the choice in design and purpose. But if you don’t mind, then that’s really all that matters. Have fun with your toys and don’t let any of us ruin that for you
  17. Recon type??
  18. I need to get some smaller taller shelves. My old house that I was renting had more space, this new one is more cabin style and even though it has two stories, the rooms are much smaller up here
  19. Mine is still sitting in my private warehouse at hlj. Can you post the differences, kinda curious to see
  20. Be good everyone
  21. That’s a pretty wide gap for a modern kit. Maybe Academy should go back to the Academy for a refresher
  22. I thought the same for a long while, but it could be a thing to keep an identity safe in case one member makes a somewhat controversial comment and someone else likes what was said without having to be tied into the possible controversy. Something like a mildly political comment can get a warning and maybe a member agrees with what is said, but doesn’t want to get a warning or something or get tied into that as their belief as an example. There are also silent members that don’t really join the conversations or make any posts possibly just due to shyness and don’t exactly feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, so they may just use the like to keep it a simple bit of anonymous support for a post. No controversy involved, just a bit of not being as social as others
  23. I totally stopped watching that show after the third season. Felt like it was trying way too hard or something
  24. Oddly the fatty has a slightly different look to the downformprobably just has to keep the thigh down flat and a couple extra bends here and there.
  25. I had a feeling that it might be something like that.
