  1. Raises a glass and a toast to Studio Ghibli, some of the finest amine films ever made!
  2. That is a serious case of delusion right there!! Or extreme sarcasm...
  3. For that pathetic HG response they have earned this:
  4. Cancelling the KS just truly shows how much confidence HG really had with this project. The below quote is from their website. "What's next? Throughout San Diego Comic-Con, many of you asked us what our “plan B” would be if the Kickstarter campaign did not reach its goal. We will continue to explore our options regarding Robotech Academy, so stay tuned in the coming months."
  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKiTEwtJ_ak When ever I see Travis playing drums I think of Animal from the Muppets... enjoy!!
  6. Again my friend, superb looking VF-0S!!
  7. I purchased 3 of my Gakken Ride-Armors in the early 90's before I graduated High School, a friend of mine in Los Angeles found a store selling them for $19.95 a piece, so I couldn't resist and the transformation threw me off a few times but then I mastered it, and for sure definitely not for a child to play with. And as far as a collectors market definitely not much one back then, All of my destroids, Inbits and SDF-1 were essentially given to me by guys who wanted to dump them.... they're loss, my gain!! As for the Beagle, I have a tendency to exaggerate at times (My weird sense of humor) but the Beagle really is the first toy I ever owned that took forever to transform and twice I was for sure I was going to break it in the process, normally I never read the instructions but this one I did, though not a transformation fault the fact the Windscreen & seat never locked in place on mine bummed me out, unless it was on its stand she was impossible to play with. At east mine is loose as hell. So if we just had some really detailed 1/10 Bike & Soldier mode kits, I'd be super stoked!
  8. Agreed, the Gakken was relatively easy to transform where as the Beagle was so overly complicated it had an instruction booklet the size of the yellow pages. I honestly prefer the Ride-Armor in Bike mode anyways (Saddles bags of course), but if the Captain said sure I'll give this a swing for a Non-variable Bike and/or Soldier mode would be awesome!
  9. This was always one of my favorites they did a few years back, your friends band has a great sound, I dig it. I haven't played guitar in so long I am rusty as sin!
  10. Outstanding!!
  11. We made may need to sweet talk Captain America or someone as talented to make some Ride-Armors of Fuke & Yellow, probably not going to see any major company make these anytime soon, though one can hope. I'll settle for non-variable Bike mode only and detail figures.
  12. Probably Apples & Oranges here, but if go to YouTube and various discussion boards for Battlestar Galactica, the feuds between fans of the new series and the 1979 version can be down right nasty at times, especially those who will try to defend Galactica 1980. Some people simply can't let go of their opinion and accept somethings just aren't what they used to be or ever was. I used to run home from school when I was in 4th & 5th grade to see RT on TV, not mention record it on my VCR, This really was my first exposure to Anime so I thank HG for that, but then I got smart and went to Comic book shops (like Golden Apple) and cons to find more Anime related items as well Little Tokyo and discovered there was a big world out there and numerous titles to choose from. So after 30 years I can't see what RT fans are hoping for, enjoy what was and move on to better series! (There's lots to choose from)
  13. "Tommy's an awful lot like our favorite captain, the legendary Zap Brannigan!" Makes sense to me.
  14. At this point they've already used up plans A-M, the alphabet is getting short!
  15. Thats how I see it, everything from that Drone-Transformer design, this cruiser with DYRL cannons attached and a kid named Wally, HG is the "lump of coal" standard (Instead of Gold standard) of creativity and professionalism. I know that hindsight is 20/20 but I would had all these designs (Mecha & Characters) and story nailed down and finalized, plastered my site & the web with a big announcement that it would be at the SDCC, then announce the New show & KS and let it go from there, plus answer any questions people had to assure them, "Yes, we're serious about this". Instead they did the opposite, and pulling out the "Do it for Carl" was the final bullet for this thing.
  16. Great posts David, my Brothers band actually opened for Jimmy Eat World a few times and said they were really cool guys to play with!
