A new Macross arcade game might not make it outside of Japan with the HG/BW licensing issues. Even without the legal issues it probably wouldn't be very widespread anyway. Also, personally, I have no interest in arcade games. I haven't been to an arcade in nearly a decade. Hate wasting money on the things. Much rather play a console game in the comfort of my home. At least I don't have to keeping feeding coins into a console every five minutes Graham

This worries me, as it may effect plans for a sequel to the recent Bandai / Sega-AM2, PS2 Macross game. Graahm

Yep, that's just a rerelease of series # 1. It's 10pcs per box. Normally you get 5 each of the clear hair version and 5 each of the normal hair version. This means that you will get 2pcs of each character (1 clear hair & 1 normal), unless you get the chase Minmay doll instead. Series 2 is supposed to be being released in February 2004, but the character lineup hasn't been announced yet. Graham

Yikes, they have done it. It's an anime based on tatu - those useless, tone-deaf, pretend-lesbians. See here. Graham

Nah, nobody wants to contact you. We will all run away from you if we see you Just joking. Graham

Just a reminder, this forum is for discussing Macross games only. This is a Macross forum, not a Halo forum. Graham

In the PS2 BSG game, does your Viper have missiles or only Turbo Lasers? Graham

Oh yeah, that's good enough reasons. Vostok 7 yeah, but Frank's dead. i bet if he were alive, He'd praise the mini-series. the movie was straight up David Lynch non-sense. Herbert said he liked what Lynch did with the movie. He wrote the books, I'd say his opinion mattered more than yours. obviously, but what i'm saying is Lynch's version was all he had seen at that pointi think had he lived to see the SciFi series, he would have loved them even more than lynch's version. Personally, I hated the mini-series. I thought all the actors were horribly miscast and looked nothing at all like how they are described in the books. Also, a lot of the acting in the mini-series was extremely wooden. IMO, Lynch did a much better job with his casting choices and the characters actually looked fairly close to how they are described and how I imagined them. Of course, both the movie and the mini-series took a lot of liberties with the story, the movie more so than the series. Out of the two, I far prefer the movie for it's superior acting and visuals.

Guys, spoke with Shawn and unfortunately due to work commitments, he will not be able to attend the HK Shopathon Graham

I have fond memories of The Last Starfighter. Haven't seen it since it first came out tho. Hmm....have to see if I can pick up the DVD. Awesome Lego Gunstar. Graham

I quite liked the original BSG, except for when the got to Earth that was just so bad. I remember in UK back in 1979 they showed the pilot as a theatrical release. It was great seeing it on the big screen. I recently rewatched the orginal BSG pilot on an old VHS tape I dug up from my collection and one thing struck me as really hokey is that there is one scene where I think Apollo and Zack are flying in space and Apollo tells Zack to apply reverse thrust and apply maximum air brakes...yeah right, air brakes in space! Graham

Insanely cute, lapdancing cosplayers would probably be much more effective........trust me on this. Graham

So, it's come down to ursine torture tactics.....eh? You damn dirty bears, you'll never get me to talk. Graham

At age 9 studied Judo for a Year. At age 14, did Field Archery and Sabre Fencing for 2 years. At age 24, took up IPSC shooting for 5 years. At age 32, studied Wing Chun for 1.5 years. Now I'm studying 'Arnis', a type of Philippine stick fighting (similar to kali & Escrima). Just got my yellow belt a few weeks ago. Graham

LOL.....sounds like a Philip K. Dick book..... 'Do Destroids dream of magnetic feet?' Graham

Personally, I love the character cell animation in Mac Zero. I also love the CG Valk animation. About the only animation in Mac Zero I don't like is when they cell animate the Valks, it's just so badly done IMO, looks like something from Anime Fiend. I say keep all the VFs in Zero CG only! I'm also getting to like the BGM in Mac Zero more. I still can't remember it well enough to hum it yet, but at least my OST CD is getting more of a playing now. While I like the BGM and songs of Mac Plus, I've gotta say I also prefer the music of SDF/DYRL and Mac 7 more than Plus. Graham

Heh, this is at least the third or fourth 'how old is everybody' thread we've had on these forums. Anyway, 34, but feel like 50. Graham

Haven't really been into Star Wars since I was about 13, and that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. I guess my favorite is still ANH (can't beat the original), with ESB being second. Don't really care for any of the others. Graham

Anything's possible, but I doubt it. Graham

So I guess Monster and upgrade parts are comming. Wow, its tempting to know that the upgrades are comming. Thanks G vic Whoops, sorry my mistake no 1/60 upgrade parts AFAIK. Graham

Wonder if we will ever get this here in HK? Even though it's probably really bad, I still want to see it just to see how awful it is and well, because I'm a masochist I'm still really pissed at the local TV stations for only showing up to season 4 of Babylon 5 and never showing season 5.....grrrrrrrrr. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and buy the DVD set when it's released so I can find out what happened. Graham

It's very old news. It's been know for about a year IIRC, although I forget exactly where and when it was first announced. As Harmony Gold has the uncontested worldwide licencing for Mospeada, it makes sense to market products overseas, not just limit themselves to the US market. I don't think there will be any difference between the US and Japan versions except for hopefully packing. I really hope that the Japan packing is smaller and features original art from the series rather than that awful (IMO) Tommy Yune art and those oversized book/boxes which I can't stand. Graham

OK, technically they were blocked and couldn't post, but I'd forgotten to change the group profile from 'members' to 'banned'. I'd assumed that the board software would do that automatically. Anyway, I've now changed their status to banned. Graham

Wohooo , at last ! someone that agrees with me I've also always thought that the VF-0 has far superior capabilities to the VF-1. Graham

Actually, I've done a fair bit of ebay selling in the past and I found that Gundam merchandise can be pretty difficult to resell. The Bandai Soul of Chogokin toys sell pretty well, as do Yamato 1/48 VF-1 toys and the older Yamato Macross Plus 1/72 YF-19 & YF-21. Yamato 1/60 VF-1 are a dead item and you can hardly give them away these days Graham
