i almost got one from a friend....his mom got it for him..it was in the shape of a fighter and he had no clue it could transform

all other things were secondary

but i did grow up with the cartoon

lol!

i said - oh cool, u got a veritech fighter

he said - ya, my mom got it for me, it's been sitting around on the shelf for yrs

then while we were talking ..i was transforming the fighter into a robo warrior

while he started to ask me wtf i was doing

he was on the verge of going to college

lol

i transformed his toy plane into a robowarrior

i told him - let the nerds see u with this...they will be more friendly to u

lol

he came home around mid terms to hit me up for a burnt cdr of hot babes from my 'collection'

when his first term was over with..he came home with a new gf...to show off to his parents..she also was raised in the city so she had family in the city

i stopped by on my bd to say hi

i said to him and his parents and his new gf

'oh gee, u brought me home a blonde coed for my bd' ...it went over his head, over his parents head and his new gf was laughing

😛

he's not with his college gf anymore...she's working with his mom tho

he's married and moved to another country...france last i heard of him...i think he moved out eventually to another state in usa

u mentioned kitbashing, you a hobbyist?

used to kitbash yes

made my own custom space ships

til i couldn't stand the fumes anymore

check out a slightly customized gundam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4xyfT1fmo

🤣

what, u never worked with plastic cement

i have

it was the only such thing i ever had or used so nothing to compare

try working it in an area with no ventilation

so surprised it is considered a classic

yeah i think it was the first game of it's kind

i even tried melting plastic as an alternative to plastic cement

supply and demand, lotta nostalgia around this game

i had more issues with paint fumes

but now am using water based paints

saves a ton of stink and hassle
