Huh? What exactly are you asking? If I understand you correctly, no not all Robotech toys have the UN Spacy (aka the RDF 'fighting kite'), only the Macross saga products do. In fact, the Mospeada mecha are marked with rather prominent at times Mars Base logos instead of REF insignia. I might get one of these but definately not for 80 bucks......... Not true. My old Hovertank toy has the kite on it and it's from the Southern Cross section of Robotech.

Woah, that's kind of a shock....but in a good way! I love little details like this. His face kind of reminds me of Orion Pax. Cool! B)

They will, all of the Miyazaki DVDs Disney has released so far have dubs, subs, widescreen and extras. I'm glad that Disney is also releasing Totoro since the FOX DVD that came out last year is a total abomination.

Has an uber box set been announced? I'll just buy them individually since the price of an uber set would be a rather large pill to swallow.

Great news about Nausicaa, although I wish the wait wasn't so long. As for Porco Rosso, did I totally dream this up or did Jean Reno (the Professional) do the voice of the pig? Maybe that was just the French dub.

Oh man, I never knew they made a smaller scale Fortress Maximus! I just may have to bid on that...

Jorge Lucas? If anyone's going to sue, it'll be Lucasfilms.

I had some connection problems last week and it turned out I had a virus that was redirecting my IP. I fixed it by going into: Control Panel Network Connections Right-Click Local Area Connections for properties Scroll down and highlight Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] Click Properties Look at the lower half of the window that comes up, it should read: "Obtain DNS server address automatically" "Use the following DNS server address" Make sure the "Obtain DNS..." is checked. It fixed my problem, but yours could be completely different. Good luck!

Heheh, looks like the Toy of the Year for 2004 is already decided. B)

http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...498&uid=1465265 Not the best jet design, but it's not too rediculous looking. Bot mode looks pretty good, and has some obvious nods to the G1 Starscream. The color scheme is nice and dark. And it looks like those huge ass-tacular wing cannons are removable, which was my deciding factor in getting this toy.

First valk I ever played with was a Jetfire one of my friends had. The first valk I ever owned was a Joke Machine (Matchbox of course) purchased at a Hardware Hank store.

I still have the 6" diecast (plastic arms) one from Matchbox, which actually looks pretty good next to Chogokin figures. I also have that huge fat plastic monstrosity that the action figures fit into, the original version. The best part about it was the huge chrome sword.

I chose other. 'Other' being the X-Box. Bunch of crap, really.

Sure, sure....we all know that they just want some sort of abstract connection with NEON GENEsis Evangelion.

Good eye, the shortstacks say Hasbro all over them. .

I can deal with tight joints, chipping paint (always common with die cast toys) and a complex and lengthy transformation process. Actually, I love difficult transformations. That's one of the reasons I like Yamato's valkyries so much! I'm even more excited to get this guy now! B)

So it looks like Prime is going to really tower over the Alternators. Oh well, he is the one in charge, so he might as well be large and in charge! Get it? What? Why is everyone walking away?

I should, but most of the dusty stuff is Star Wars related, and the thought of sorting through all that crap and matching figures to their accessories gives me a headache. My Hovertank still has a big Transformers sticker on his chest from when I was a kid and had him join the Autobots.

Hey, good work with the Photoshop, that looks great. B)

People actually want the Hovertanks? Maybe I should post mine in the "For Sale" section. It's just gathering dust in my collection.

Hopefully those big hinges that are visible mean the wings can be folded back. And as for the face...well, it's hard to get much detail from that picture but it almost looks like he's got sort of an Angelina Jolie thing going on...

I started to read the manga, and thouroughly enjoyed what I read, but I decided I didn't want to make the financial commitment to the whole series. For $10 a pop I can think of a lot of other things that I'd rather spend the money on.

Looks pretty shibby, especially for an Energon figure. I dig the resemblance to a certain Decepticon of yesteryear, I just hope the colors are as similar. I'd also like to see what his vehicle mode looks like... So, who wants to take a stab at Photoshopping this guy in his G1 colors? B)

Middle of next year? Man, I hope some other company steps in and does some Mzero toys before that. My jonesing will probably kill me before Yamato rolls something out.

I thought it was Major Tom...
