  1. Wow. Thank goodness for BD region codes compared to DVD. Is it that expensive because it's a limited edition and the regular edition should be significantly cheaper?
  2. It's obviously because of Robotech.
  3. Seems like a one sided relationship.
  4. Does the setup of the film sound like what happened in G.I Joe Renegades to anyone?
  5. I have to agree with Darkwater. For example, while it could be too early to tell, if a lot of fans were as insane as you say about Robotech, there should have been a whole lot of hype about Robotech Love Live Alive on the Internet since the announcement months ago. Just a title and a couple of seconds of new footage on a documentary should have been enough to start it, because OMG it's Robotech, the groundbreaking series that... (yadda yadda yadda). Unfortunately, after poking around for a long time on the Internet, aside from HG's website, sites operated by close associates, a couple of reviews of the A&E DVD release, talkshoe podcasters, and first hand accounts of people who were there at the documentary's premire, few people not heavily invested in Robotech as others care about it so far. It might pick up once more material surfaces, but for now I think either there are more level headed fans out there than we thought or far too many people have been screwed by previous Robotech material to care as much as before.
  6. Flash clapper? As in gonorrhea?
  7. It gets cheaper as time goes on and will become cheap enough for them to take advantage of. The point is that the current DVD set will eventually be irrelevant one day since going 360 degress with the the same 85 episodes in the franchise sells despite oversaturation. But you're right, their plans this year is to finally introduce Love Live Alive the Robotech way. Also, "For Carl... *teardrop*"
  8. Maybe they'll get the sound just right for the next re-release. Hell, go High Definition and then Blu-Ray enhancements in another 2-5 years while they're at it since people will buy it.
  9. Wow, Dynamite Stevens is a pimp, DJ, and mecha pilot? Jerry the Pool Boy has met his match.
  10. You will probably understand when another Macross sequel comes out that people won't be able to enjoy offically, and/or when a "new" or "offical" Robotech product comes out that doesn't live up to quality nostalgia or comparison to what people are not allowed to enjoy outside Asia. By default, most of us here are marginalized because of HG's work. And in 2012, you will probably see this first hand when more of Love Live Alive is revealed.
  11. Same exact 85 episodes with slight adjustments every 3-5 years, and people still buy them. The narrative doesn't change, just the pew pew pew pewing sounds and the like, yet THAT'S serious business. How about some new stuff for a change, not including "new" stuff. I'd believe that if he didn't spend most of the time on the Internet screwing with people about everything else.
  12. You know who didn't buy it? MEMO! For all the promotion he's done for them, he doesn't even want it. http://www.robotechx.com/forums...
  13. That's what I've been thinking too. Console players get the most out of their money once the Game of the Year or copies with the DLCs included come out. But you have to wait a long time for it. I felt more comfortable with PC Oblivion Game of the Year Edition plus the unoffical patches that fixed up a whole bunch of problems the developers didn't find. Until 6 months ago, my only alternative was the PS3 version.
  14. And all those dropped plans were supposed to have been replaced by something better by now. What is this, anime's Duke Nukem Forever? Finish your damn story/saga before we are all dead, Tommy.
  15. So how much would those be worth on ebay?
  16. In the grim nightmare of the 41st millennium, there is only war... unless you're watching the Ultramarines Movie where nothing happens for the first 30 minutes. Relic Entertainment should have done the movie.
  17. Edit: Replaced with original franchise material.
  18. Maybe much of it was contrived for promotional and advertising purposes, these days especially *wink* *wink*, to make the franchise look and sound better retrospectively. a.k.a. Showrunners screwing with audience/consumers' perspective and people actually believing it repeatedly.
  19. Does whatever legacy Robotech and HG created years ago change the feelings about what both are doing in the present? I ask because, honestly, the glory days were 25+ years ago. Here we are with the big things happening with the franchise being another re-release of the original TV series, a new project potentially using the same storytelling methods that were once acceptable back in the 80s, and a Hollywood movie and continuation of the current storyline both of which are crapshoots at this point.
  20. But will that "great story" from 25 years ago have an ending within our lifetimes that the current showrunners will take seriously for a change? I was led to believe that it isn't over yet despite secondary material saying otherwise, but now lumped together in the "just kidding" pile.
  21. I've seen 4/12 of the months. Two are Tommy Yune's work, old or new, from Shadow Chronicles and maybe Love and War, and the other two are old pics from Macross, the SDF-1 hovering in Earth's atmosphere, and Southern Cross, an old promotional picture of a Battaloid Spartas and Zor, not done by anyone in HG. I'm guessing the other eight are a combination of old Tommy Yune work and legal 25 year old source material work considered "new" depending on how much people cared about the OSM in the first place and how much secondary material people bought besides the original 85. One addition noted on Robotech World is the inclusion of birthdays for the cast and crew. You won't find that in a normal calendar. ROBOTECH 2012 Wall Calendar
  22. It's a long running franchise, how could you without the Internet? It's probably less difficult then the Silver Age stuff used in Batman The Brave and the Bold.
  23. ROBOTECH: We Will Win - Limited Edition EP Like I said, does the world really need that much We Will Win?
  24. Poor choice of words for a blog post egging on something that he/she likes. And whatever nostalgia it brought won't be getting better anytime soon. Limited sympathy. But really, 5x times for those reasons?
