Talked to Seiichi-he's planning to attend this year!
A little off topic-but he's currently uploading items for his web store.
His web store will be THE best and largest Macross resource on the planet for older items. If I told you the amount of Macross stock items he has you would not believe me.
Almost there!

Egan emailed me-said its the 10th anniversary of the Macross Compendium today.

Congrats Egan! And thanks for everything you've done for all us fans!
He's posted a bunch of great pictures with some very cool stories.

Shawn
Wow-and I thought I was going to pick it up for only $61.50
Egan Loo sniped me (back when we were the 2 big macross ebayers) the first time one of these came up a couple years ago-it sold for around $80.
$700?? Jeez
That is some dedication

Greg,
I am so sorry. My heart broke when I read your post.
I know its not much, but you have an entire communties support here. If there is anything we can do please let us know.
Stay strong for your daughter, and God bless.

The DVD will contain no copyrighted material-I'm not going to step on anyones toes(Big West/HG...)
Members have been offering for years to send in donations to help me out with site costs($150 a month), but I've always felt bad so I've never accepted anything.
This is going to be my way of thanking people for any donations to the site they wish to make.
It will have the DYRL TV Special (subbed-translation already paid for and done)
TV Commercials from my old Beta tapes (you will enjoy!)
Collection picture tours from various members here(you will not believe)
and some other stuff
Wanted to do a fanzine, but the costs to produce were just too insane. We are LONG overdue for a Macross fan book!!!

well for a high quality toy-I could understand a mold costing 10k
but how do the bootleg companies in hk and china do it?
The quality of their plastic is not as good as the originals, but it is still much sturdier than resin. And they sell their copies for dirt cheap-I don't see how they'd ever recoup the cost of an expensive mold?

There is the Macross Panel at Anime Expo in Anaheim, CA(tentatively July 3rd)
We are also having our own Macross World Con the following week July 11th in Los Angeles.
If you are up for the drive please bring it , but man thats a LONG drive...haha

Found my old beta tape catalog (a bunch of 8x11 college ruled sheets stapled together with my notes on them-hey I was 15 years old and broke)
On one of my tapes(one I don't have) it says "Machine Robo Promo"
This would have been around late 1985 early 86
I think I remember seeing this-the animation was incredibly fluid and detailed. It was also pretty short.
I've gone on-line and searched for this, but only find MR episodes
Any ideas?
