SchizophrenicMC Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 So, I was just wondering if I was the only Dallasite on this forum. I mean, with the population of Dallas exceeding 10 million and the forum's population around 8100, I can't be the only one. Right? *Silence* Please? Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 Come on, I know I'm not the only one! I know you're out there! Quote
Dio Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I'm about 45min east of ya, over in the Greenville/Rockwall area Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 I'm about 45min east of ya, over in the Greenville/Rockwall area I've been there. I've got an uncle who lives in Rockwall. I'm from Arlington, to be particular. It's sad, up until a few months ago, I had no idea I was literally down the street from the new stadium... Quote
Wicked Ace Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I'm from Arlington, to be particular. I know the town well. Make sure to get your toys from Los at Lost & Found Toys; I believe he is in the D/FW metroplex -- save on shipping. Quote

Dio Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 If LAFToys gets the DX VF-25 toys, they shall have my business immediately. They're always out of FlexiDisplay stands whenever I check the site though, I must have the worst luck! Quote

They're always out of FlexiDisplay stands whenever I check the site though, I must have the worst luck! LAFToys? Never heard of them... Where are they located? Speaking of Macross toys, the closest thing to them that the local HobbyTown USA has is 3 Alphas... They don't even have FlexiDisplays, or even Bandai stands.. Grr... Quote
Dio Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I believe I saw those exact few Alphas (Aoshima, I think?) at Hobbytown USA last time I was out that way for a book signing Are they all the green version? This is in the little mini-mall right across from like, Toys R Us and the big mall, right? LAFToys = Lost [And] Found Toys, www.laftoys.com Should have all their info like address, etc on the website... sad thing is, even with gas being cheap it's probably still more economical for me to have stuff shipped from there just because of the commute! Not to mention risking my life in DFW traffic... Quote

Not to mention risking my life in DFW traffic... It's at a strip mall across Cooper Street from the Parks Mall in Arlington. Right next to I-20. There's a Toys 'R' Us across the street a ways. That it? And I know they've got 2 greens and 1 red... Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Hey, Dio, you got any plans for A-Kon 09? I'm gonna cosplay Focker. Quote
sharky Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 A few years ago I would have been your neighbor. I used to live in the DFW area, and I still have my house that I now rent in Frisco. Went to UTA for graduate school then worked there for several years. I lived in Grand Prairie, Arlington, Coppell, and Frisco until I finally moved to Atlanta 3 years ago, but I still consider myself a Texan born and raised. I miss living there. IMHO it was much easier to find anime stuff and the theater scene is much better. I would regularly find some sort of anime playing in a theater in the Dallas area. I know exactly where you are referring when you describe where LAFToys is located. Quote
Dio Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Hey, Dio, you got any plans for A-Kon 09? I'm gonna cosplay Focker. I've been toying with the idea for the last year or so... not sure if I could handle the culture shock or not! Been so long since I watched any anime other than Macross, I'm probably well out of the loop when it comes to that stuff. Who knows, it might be worth it, any chance of picking up any Macross toys there? Quote

YAKK DECULTURE!" -Dio upon arrival at A-Kon Sharky, you say you lived in Arlington. Did you ever visit the Anime Store? I'm pissed off because about 2 years ago, it was closed... That was the only place I could ever find anime goods.... Right there on Oklahoma street... GRR! Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) So... If Vic Mignogna is at A-Kon, I'm gonna kick some ass! I always hated that choice for Hikaru... He's probably not gonna be there, but just in case! OH GOD DAMN IT! http://www.a-kon.com/bm/Guests/vic-mignogn...-to-a-kon.shtml Just had to be there... Edited February 4, 2009 by SchizophrenicMC Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 dont forget to take pictures please Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 dont forget to take pictures please Never forget to take pictures... Wait... Aren't you from Chicago? So, at this point, I'd hope everyone knows the famous Vic Mignona line, "Colonel Mustang is dead sexy... IN A MINI-SKIRT!" I will get him to say a Macross Variant: "Major Focker is dead sexy... WITH A HANGOVER!" It's funny because both are Roys. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 yep, if we had a MWcon in my area that be just awesome!!! Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 yep, if we had a MWcon in my area that be just awesome!!! Good luck. It would seem there're only 3 Texans on this board. There's got to be more Illinois...oans... I dunno... Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 I'm in Corpus La la la la la La Bamba! I... grew up in Illinois, if that counts No, it doesn't. You're in Texas, thus you are Texan. Quote
Cuda Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Howdy y'all! Sorry. I'm from San Antonio. Nice to meet you guys. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Howdy y'all! Sorry. I'm from San Antonio. Nice to meet you guys. Welcome to Macross World, Cuda. San Antonio, eh? I been there. Nice place. Quote
Dio Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 No, it doesn't. You're in Texas, thus you are Texan. Was born in Houston, so yes, I have always been a naturally-born Texan Quote
