    here's the only Asuka i'm interested in... i'll finally get around to getting her one of these odd days now...

    dammit, just pick some replacement copies up off the BAY or the like, and forgive your damn brother already. i never forgave myself for years for trading off several of my SEGA GENESIS titles back in the early 90's. more recently, i scored myself complete-condition JPN MEGA DRIVE versions of every one of those games i had parted with, and i no longer even bother to look back...

    get yourself a small precision pair of wire cutters. they're a total life saver for pruning model parts off a sprue...

    my 1stEd. -1S Focker DYRL has been giving me issues, but my later new-hiplock design edition -1J Hikaru T.V. as been rugged as hell. sure hope ARCADIA tosses out a new run of Focker 1S in T.V. white or DYRL lt. gray, as i'm thinking i really need to replace my ailing 1stEd. before it gets any worse...

    that'd be wonderful... so long as as the SAP is removable...

    i'd prefer color molding on this thing myself. painting of fine details is all i'd prefer to do on this besides the actual assembly. color molding might make life a little hard on the pro modellers among us here, but they'd just be hitting the entire kit with a can of primer and spending 60+ hours of work thenceforth to achieve a museum-quality finish that would be ruined if one dared a single transformation, so i think the color molding would be the best possible compromise for both the diehard pros and us casual modellers...

    actually, it's easier to paint plastics of a neutral tone (white, light grey) than those molded in most colors, especially very bright or dark shades. GUNDAM red and yellow are some of the worst in my experience...

    indeed, it's such a realistic and roundly plausible design, much akin to the starships of the TREK universe; the sort of fictional engineering work that one sort of naturally wants to take for granted as tech that could and should in fact exist somewhere in the short or long term future...

    IMHO, the 1/60v.II is the most accurate depiction to date of what the VF-1 would look like were such a military vehicle able to actually exist. as such, i consider it the unimpeachable golden standard in VF-1 scale replica design...

    ... life is officially over...

    NO WAY!! and there it is!! (EDIT; it don't seem to be PT, though... maybe just an early prototype?)
  14. Shaorin
    oh that's nice. you just pick her up?

    i simply adore Guinea Pigs. i've been keeping them, on and off, since i was like 7/8 years old around 1988 or so. my mother was a fancier, and kept a heard around through most of my childhood. she raised me up around them, in addition to her medium-sized kennel of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. she also raised hamster and rat herds off and on, but Piggies♥ have always remained my favorite small animal of them all bar none, those largish rodents that have really managed to stand the test of time. they can be such precious little angels, and i never could seem to stand not having at least one or two around at any given time in my life... wonderful face♥ a bit "healthy" there for my personal tastes, but a fantastic facial sculpt all the same... lose the Headphones, though; no fun in bed with studio monitors on... (( i know, i know; it's Sonico-chan's personal shtick. still doesn't make it any less inane IMHO... ))

    WOW!! it's about time! one of my very first ever Mecha model kits was the old 1/80 ARII ZECTOR CIRCUS-III three-form diorama kit. i've wanted a PT toy or model of it ever since, and perhaps 20 years on i'll finally have one!!

    differences between YAMATO's 1/72 and 1/60 VF-11B are as positively night and day as those of their 1/72 YF-19 and the 1/60 VF-19k/S/F/P...

    you tell me, i just post here... i dunno, MF just seemed to come off as far too modern in too many ways for my taste. i just don't like the way Anime generally is anymore. it's often too vapid and goofy anymore. maybe i was having a bad day, or i was watching the wrong ep, i dunno. if some of you serious old-liners think so highly of it, then there must be something i'm missing. i'll see...

    i paid $45 for my Nanoha figma, and she was pre-order, at that! something like $50/55 normal price, and all she came with was her magic Javelin, a couple option parts for it, a set of optional magic wings for her feet, an alternate face, and the usual Figma-standard hand-set and articulated stand...

    Congrats!!

    i dunno...while i'm quite fond of Ranka-chan, the Mecha design just doesn't seem to rub me the right way at all. perhaps i should just give MF another shot...

    indeed, the future is uncertain, and it seems that a golden age for MACROSS is now well and truly over. still, there is some hope that YAMATO, via ARCADIA, will continue to service the hardcore MACROSS community of the world. the most major issue, i suppose, is how much has changed since 1982/1984. many MACROSS fans, particularly non-Asian fans that know and love SDF MACROSS best by it's ROBOTECH incarnation, have a burning desire to see new material directly based off SDFM/DYRL, and so far there has only been a handful of choice sequences from the series that have seen an "HD-Remaking" for a Japanese market Pachinko machine, and it REALLY whets the appetites of us SDFM fans for a modern re-animated series. unfortunately/fortunately, YMMV, times indeed change, and a series such as FRONTIER, which, for the most part, speaks to a new and completely different generation than us old-line fans, is the best any of us can really realistically expect to see in a successful current day televised MACROSS T.V series. no one can say what the future will hold, but if there are to be any future MACROSS Anime productions, they are more likely than not to be even more alienating to us old-timers than even FRONTIER...
