I started collecting Arcade PCB's several years ago, as a Macross fan I had to search and secure this collection by Banpresto originally released in 1990's. 1992 Super Spacefortress Macross / Chou-Jikuu Yousai Macross 1993 Super Spacefortress Macross II / Chou-Jikuu Yousai Macross II 1996 Macross Plus I own several Japanese Arcade Candy Cabs and Superguns to enjoy these in their full glory. Totally happy to see these released through Hamsters Arcade Archives with the first dropping this past year and Macross II soon. Looking forward for Macross Plus making its modern console debut one day.

Reading this thread is like "Andor is the best Star Wars since 1980, but here's why it's bad."

The 1/100 scale ARII VF-1D I’m already pumped on this little kit. It’s going to require way less putty than I had anticipated. Also the fit is loose enough that alignment will be easy peasy! Is there any sort of source material page on this site for reference. I want to add some missing detail/parts and have a better look at color schemes so I can plan my modifications and painting? The included instructions are well…rough. lol

It’s kinda hard to be iconic these days since mainstream music hasn’t really set a tone for the new millennium and clothing styles kinda stagnated towards the end of the 90’s. Not saying that there isn’t great music now, just nothing that really screams out 2020, 2010 or even a2000’s sound the way 80’s music really had a distinct sound for its decade that was different from the 70’s or the 90’s. The last twenty five or thirty years, there really hasn’t been a sound or fashion that seemed distinct. i do think there were some great movies as well, but nothing that really says what decade it’s from other than maybe cg quality. Tv shows did kinda change in attitude mainly due to streaming, but i don’t think it’s gonna be easy to tell a show from the 2010’s from the 2020’s in four decades away. Maybe Anime is one of the few things that seems to have a noticeable trend shift after a few years, but I’m struggling to think of other genres of entertainment that seem to say what decade they seem to be from. Maybe 2030 will set a new standard that will separate it from other decades

Here's a preview for you:

Adults might enjoy that, but I suspect Disney might find an attraction all but guaranteed to make children cry a little off-brand for their family-friendly amusement parks. Hell, I remember the Alien part of the Great Hollywood ride scared the beejezus out of me as a kid of ~6.🤣

Or...how about leaving the 80s in the past, employ some creativity, and make something new that will continue to be iconic in its own way thirty, forty years from now. I grew up in the 80s and I love that time period for all of its quirkiness and mad creativity, but I can't understand why we don't have that same level of creativity today, especially with all the tools available now that weren't back then. Moreover, where are the Stephen Spielbergs, the James Camerons, of this generation creating the iconic films for the next few generations to milk ad nauseum? At this point, it's a sad state of affairs that these 40+year-old properties continue to be rehashed, generally in a lackluster and forgettable manner, instead of new IPs and franchises being created to bring new life and interest to American media. For the most part, I don't want to see the old shows rehashed; I enjoyed the originals and they made their marks for a reason. Too, as @Big s mentioned, they were products of the era in which they were made, and that's largely key to their charm and longevity. Much of what made them cool just won't translate, at least not well or authentically. I look no further than the recent spate of Ghostbusters films, all of which missed the mark a bit compared to the original films, and that comes down to the original idea, the camaraderie and talents of the original cast and director, and a lot of quotable dialog and memorable scenes throughout both films. They just didn't capture any of that in the new films and they will never be considered as popular or as groundbreaking as the og films. That argument can be made for just about every 80s property that Hollywood continues to mine in lieu of new ideas. So glad I grew up in the 80s- between Saturday morning cartoons and all the evening shows like Knight Rider, to the Indiana Jones films and Star Wars, we were part of a creative landscape in tv and film that I doubt will ever again be equaled, alas.

Not only more -- number of dedicated fans vs "professionals" working for the Mouse makes it a given -- but superior in almost every single way except polish.

Fixed! I just used a bit of Tamiya's pink brown wash and then used Tamiya gloss pink acrylic for her tongue. Here's a link to my photoset on Tumblr.

Bandai being nonsensically wasteful seems fairly common. I've just encountered it yesterday, while fitting crotch armor on the Ozma, trying to understand why there are two armored crotches. Following that, wondered why the battroid stand adapter that caused the former to even need to exist, when the non armor battroid adapter already works with the armor. I was also rememinded a few days ago, that bandai pumps out a whole dedicated mini runner for what is akin to a single zaku's eye lense on their 30MM line. It could have just been a small area of that color, tacked onto a larger runner. For what they wasted, they could have put 20 duplicates chained into a single stick, to split the risk of damage and loss, for not having all the protection and identification that comes with a full runner, and still saved materials while handing out spares.

You can’t do Dakota in Miami, that’s way too confusing

@pengbuzz Thanks for the head's up Pengbuzz! Oh no! We finally "get back" a good stock of classic anime models and their company is not looking good. I've bought from them about three times now and no problem. I hope they're not folding 😕 @SteveTheFish Nice and clean paint! She looks good, especially with the patches as Chas said. - MT

Hey, you're right! I overlooked that detail. Thanks!

I'm cool with a Miami Vice reboot but a series would be more ideal than a movie. They should also cast Dakota Johnson as Sunny Crockett. Yes, I'm serious.
