Let's take a trip down memory lane. (you don't remember this!)

Keep em coming.

Does anyone remember SuperTV? This was before HBO and Prism. If you even remember prism.

Now if you remeber NIGHT FLIGHT on USA network, we are cool for life!

I goes way back.

Oh yeah, I definitely remember Prism, this was the channel where I first saw boobs, then came "The Movie Channel" and Emmanuel...LOL
 
You are the only one I have EVER talked to that remembers Prism!
Man I used to sneak downstairs at 2am to watch Emmanuel, there was like 10 of them. Then burning snow snow came out....man it didn't get any better; middlesworth potato chips, a honey bun, a swiss tea cooler and some soft porn, where is doc and his delorean when you need him.

impressive!
 
That transforming watch is hilarious I think a friend had it, but the articulations wouldn't move that well and he was afraid of transforming it cause he thought he wouldn't be able to put it back. HAhaha... what a heap of garbage! lol



This one worked on (several) TVs... not all... but, if you had the right TV at school, and you sat close enough, you could do a whole poltergeist bit and have the teachers scratching their head till they went bald. It had shi* range though, and the kid that owned this one was too scared of getting caught.

Gigantor; it was an early Japanamation series from the '60s which preceded Kimba the White Lion and, of course, Speed Racer.

My dad had a very nice train (which I nearly destroyed). I also had an excalectric track, which I destroyed... I figured out that if you plugged in the transformer and touched the connectors you'd get these super cool looking flashes of light... too many sparks later the thing fried. ;)

I am up to episode 10 on Robotech. Linn Minmei wins the beauty contest. I always loved Lisa, that Linn was a tease. xP
 
I Played with my tracks for Hours and Hours. I remember if you "Gunned" them they would fly off the track when hitting the corners. I still have a huge track and a bunch of cars at my grandmom's house. She kept everything she could from my childhood.

Watched a bunch last night. What an amazing series.

and that made me think of my favorite groups/artists from the 80's. This was before I got into hip-hop culture. I still listen to their music. Duran Duran Is still my favorite group of all time. I know, I know..I'm an 80's baby. Well late 70's anyway.

I am resurrecting an HO train set that my dad and I built in the 80's. I am having a lot of fun building terrain out of paper mache.

So on that note, did anyone see that brilliant link posted on videocopilot.net a few weeks ago????

The HBO movie intro from the 80's. This is a must watch for anyone interested in miniatures.
 
Deep, nice big project there. I never got to build one, just played with the locomotive until I yanked too many pieces off it and my Dad had to pull it to safety.

Richard, I find it commendable you are coming clean. It seems this thread is somewhat of a therapy group as well. HAHAHA... Is that Bruno on the second picture, second from the right?

Thanks. Maybe someday my son and I will blow it up with miniature explosives. And film it, of course. With Wagner blasting in the background. :kali:
 
Dude! Multi-cam, overcranked, that would be so much fun. First fil some sort of sequence leading up to the destruction. :)

Well, it is official, I am using up all of my writing break on Robotech...I may or may not be on episode #22 xP
