Mechafan Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Ha - the school district in which I teach has blocked all message boards, so I can't check MW at work. I also can't get to legit music education message boards because they have blocked those too. Thanks for the help, administration! 404940[/snapback] I am sorry to hear about that. Was this before or after Myspace? My job blocks some sites also. Mostly dating sites. I am able to get on MW though. Quote
kyatsu Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 dude BoBe-Patt, that just messed up how someone would steal stuff from you even if it's a boothleg. what kind of work or office do you work at? i remember once that someone from my previous work got the original voltron set stolen and the whole crew chipped in for the cost. even though it's only a boothleg minmei, it's still your property. man, that person is just low. kyatsu Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Posted June 3, 2006 Checking the MW forums at work is too risky ... knowing myself, I'd probably get sucked in and 30 mins would fly by ..... Quote

I work at a entertainment and design agency. So it's a pretty laxed environment. Anyway, like I said, the stuff I put at my work, I don't care much about. Well meaning if someone wanted to transform something, play with it and get their greezy little hands on it, then I don't care. But stealing is different. Oh well, it's a lot better now. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I'm not sure if it was the MW forum but somebody brought their Alternators Grimlock to work, he left it on the top of his desk in Robot Mode before he left for the day. Too make a long story short he comes back the next day to find it transformed to Vehicle Mode, it turns out his boss had some extra time on his hands. LOL. Quote

The floors will always need sweeping and the bathrooms cleaning. There is also a lot of aluminum cans on the sidewalk that need collecting. Quote

Hurin Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I've got my very first 1/48 on display right next to me at my desk. Hikaru 1A w/ FAST Packs. It's the only one I ever completely stickered up (Takatoys stickers). It's the only one I display at work because it's got the crooked tail-fins (1st edition) and some cracked hips. So, I don't mind if it walks or gets damaged.It's brought about five people out of the Macross/RT closet. Two of which have actually been aware of Macross's relationship to RT. H 404165[/snapback] Not the best shot of the valk itself. But here's where I am when I write this stuff! I need more Macross stuff on the walls. Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Hey Hurin, why is that superposeable trying to take a crap on your desk? Your 1/48 needs to kill it before things get messy! LOL! Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 Hurin - Where'd you get the valkyrie poster on the wall? Looks great! Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I have the same monitors and keyboards as Hurin! Seriously though nice poster! Quote
Fly4victory Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Looks like the poster is a page from the Valkyrie book. Is that correct? Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Posted June 8, 2006 Yeah, it's from Tenjin's Valkryies book.H 406194[/snapback] How is that book? I've seen it for sale for about $80!! Too much I thought, was I wrong? Quote

Too much I thought, was I wrong? 406256[/snapback] I think it is a great book. I wish I could fit it on my flatbed scanner without breaking the binding. Ordered it from HLJ and the lower corner was bent but it is outstanding. If you simply like Macross it is a must have. It is on par with high end aviation art books. Could actually see it in hard bound! Quote
Dante74 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) HLJ shows the book as discontinued. Amazon Japan still has it. I think...too lazy to check right now because of the heat. Maybe a cold beer will help. edit: Nope, it didn't help at all. Tasted good though. I'll try another, you never know. Edited June 8, 2006 by Dante74 Quote

Too much I thought, was I wrong? 406256[/snapback] dood, I see that book every where in LA. The kinokuniya in J-town still has them for about 50 bucks. Well if you live in SoCal, then your in luck, if not, then it might cost a little more. Quote

Sadly on the East Coast the internet is the only way to pick things up. Really miss walking into a store and seeing all the goodies from Japan. Quote

I gotta head into downtown LA one of these weekends and check it out, maybe I will buy the book!! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 ok, I got a chance to dig up my old pix of my desk at work. enjoy! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 it's different now, I'll take some pix of my new shelves at work later. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Posted June 10, 2006 BoBe-Patt - Wow, very cool office/desk!! Thanks for sharing mate! Quote
Dangaioh Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Bobe! I know Wing series and movie was ok.... but, to be placed with reprocessed meat is considered cruel and unusual punishment for the model/toy. Quote
Chet Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Funny how you seem to have Galactus holding your reminder notes! Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 BoBe-Patt - What do your co-workers have to say about your desk display? Quote

My coworker was cleaning out her office to move to our NY office, and came across two spam cans. She know's that I love spam so she gave them to me. I just display it there, not gonna eat it. Maybe for real emergencies. hehe. BoBe-Patt - What do your co-workers have to say about your desk display? 407042[/snapback] Every time my co-workers come in my office, they always have to touch my toys. Especially my Rubik's snake and my SD optimus prime. Quote

eugimon Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Hmm, these pics of people's cubes has me feeling left out; here's my office valks: Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 wow, you actually have 1/48's at your work?!?!? crazy. I guess you trust nobody will touch or steal your toys huh? That's awesome. Quote
eugimon Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 we're a pretty small company so I trust everyone here and plus, we have security cameras everywhere. heh. Quote
wolfx Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 A psp at work. Talk about affecting productivity. Quote
