  1. Mods...please do not delete this thread and humor me. I'm bored this early am I voted Star Wars because that's my all time favorite way back in the late 70s long before Transformers and Macross came out.
  2. I'm not a fan of Macross Zero lines at all. Mac + , I'll buy and only if they are 1/48th scale.
  3. 1/60? Why not all the way to 1/48.
  4. Wow..didn't know that.
  5. *lol* I wish I could do just that at my hospital. Alter Wikipedia about Macross and Transformers.
  6. Ugliest gestalts:
  7. Doesn't NASA have a couple of X-planes that can beat the Concorde. MIG-31? Tupolev Tu-144?
  8. I haven't seen/transformed a Constructicon since 1985. My best friend at the time had one and I thought it was cool then. I have Bruticus and Predaking. Bruticus is pretty decent and sturdy in gestalt mode. My next gestalt will probably be Computron and then I'll go after Devastator. I can't wait to pose my Predaking with Bruticus
  9. That's the only thing it's optimized for. That, cramp space, and noise pollution. Didn't the U.S. ban it from entering our airspace?
  10. Ryan, Soon, you'll have Max and Milia joining that team
  11. *LOL* Add T-bills, stocks, Roth IRA, real estate, and my own coffee shop.
  12. We'll see.
  13. The Raptor wins this one easy. While the Concorde is 5 miles away ahead of the Raptor at the start of the race, the Raptor pilot launches an AIM-9X.
  14. If they make the YF-21 AND 22 into 1/48 scale, then maybe they'll rule. Haven't you ppl learned that Yamato will eventually release 1/48th versions.
  15. Lots of people can't afford $200 toys, so they might as well be "holy grails." My collection: 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis 1/48 VF-1S Roy Focker Predaking (thanks to Ryan ) 2 MP-1 Convoys G1 Bruticus 2 MP-05 Megatrons 2 1/55 Strike Valk Roy Fockers (I love these durable toys) Binaltechs Takara #10 Soundwave Missing Voltes V, Yamato Space Battleship, Godzilla, and Mazinger Z. Damn...forgot to mention that one day I'll complete my TF gestalt collection.
  16. But dude...the Concordes carry how much fuel? They're built for traveling long distance ferrying people.
  17. Overall package of the Raptor > YF-23, EF-2000, SU-30MKI, F-35, SU-47, SU-37, and Rafale. A little refresher on the AIR DOMINANCE FIGHTER: The EF-2000 was built to deal with Flankers and Fulcrums. This is what the Raptor was built for:
  18. Okay...it has supercruise. Woop-di-do. The Raptor can still outmanuever the EF-2000. The Raptor has the EF-2000 beat close in or beyond visual. How the heck can an EF-2000 out dogfight a fighter with thrust vectoring? The SU-30MKI beats the EF-2000 in this area too. Yeah...right. You can't believe what Wikipedia tells you all the time. You only have to look at the Raptor and the EF-2000 visually to know which one is more stealthy. In combat, the EF=2000 has to sling it's armament which exposes it to radar. The Raptor carries it's missiles internally. http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/military-...e-aircraft.html To put it simply..the EF-2000 can supercruise, but for how long? The RAPTOR CAN SUPERCRUISE ALL THE WAY TO CHINA at Mach 1.8 vs. 1.1?. Up to 12 aircraft in the world have some sort of supercruise ability, but they pale in comparison to the F-22. EF-2000/Rafale 4th Generation Fighter F-22 5th generation fighter AND NOBODY KNOWS IT's true capabilities. 'nuff said.
  19. *lol* So true. Too many chiefs is a bad thing.
  20. Who's your pick for top Gestalt toy wise or just your fav character (US and Japanese series)? Mine's would have to be as follows(G1 mostly): #1 Predaking He is just badass and the 5 robots who make up Predaking make-up the baddest Decepticons animal Predacon characters ever. Toywise, he's got that "Voltron" Chokogin look to him. #2 Computron #3 Abominus #4 Devastator #5 Menasor #6 Bruticus #7 Defensor #8 Superion #9 Liokaiser #10 Road Caesar #11 Raiden
  21. That's right. Only the SU-30MKI from India can out manuever the Raptor and it barely does that (Raptor can also do the "cobra" somewhat). Overall, the Raptor is better than the EF-2000 or SU-30MKI.
  22. Dude..I disagree. You forgot supercruise and thrust vectoring. I also think the electronics on the Raptor is better than anything out there. in a one-on-one dogfight beyond visual or close in, the Raptor wins hands down.
  23. Congrats on your awesome collection. My only complaint is your olive-green M2 Bradley IFV next to those orange figures. Not a good color combination.
