    Have to say kinda dissapointing....just a collection of everything available in other books, magazines, etc.... Was sort of hoping it would be more like what they did for the Kawamori Designer's Note....oh well....guess the ultimate Mikimoto book will need to wait....

    As long as you don't walk out with two of the special tins, a special cup and a plushie you'll be good....lol

    Saw this yesterday with the kids....was a goofy and fun watch....a sequel definitely was setup but I guess that happens with any movie these days....

    Saw the extended preview trailer during the Minecraft movie last night....looks ok, but they are hyping it up too much for its own good....

    Nah...it's not just "one very specific" Star Wars title.....it's all of them....every single show has some nod to previous SW shows or movies....maybe you just have some disdain for the PT stuff and may be specifically more sensitive to Clone Wars references...it's not any more fanservice-y than nods to ST and OT stuff....heck, if you are an uber fan, you even get nostalgic nods from obscure sources that no normie would even pick up on, like in the last SW Space Pirates debacle...

    Well....get ready to bend over even further....rejoice! For your day of liberation is at hand....

    Errrr....the entire series is based off of Rogue One - A Star Wars Story, which itself is full of OT call-backs, characters, locations, and ships, etc.....these nostalgic nods are disbursed throughout the first season and will no doubt be scattered throughout the final season....nothing wrong with it....it's part of what makes it a great show...

    Same thing could have been said, and probably was, about Andor when first announced.....nostalgic teats are all Star Wars has left to feed off of these days...

    KC Update for Recon Battlepod... We are excited to announce that the Recon BattlePod will feature the following new designs, enhancing its technological appeal and interactivity: 1. Magnetic Switch Control for Lighting Effects - The lighting effects for the entire unit, will be controlled using magnetic switches. - Users can simply move a magnet to turn the lights on or off, ensuring simple, convenient, and intuitive operation. 2. Cockpit Nightlight Power Supply - We are experimenting with dual power supply options for the cockpit nightlight, offering users more flexibility: - Battery Power: Allows users to operate the nightlight in environments without external power, making it convenient for display. - USB Plug-in Power: Enables users to directly power the nightlight using a USB connection. * Limitations: - USB plug-in power is only designed as a direct power supply and does not support lithium battery charging or storage. - Due to internal space constraints, the feasibility of supporting both power supply options simultaneously is still under evaluation.

    Hello and welcome to Macross World! Glad to hear there are still Macross collectors out there that appreciate the vintage stuff!

    Don't jinx it!!!

    So thinking Masami for the hanger illustration? It actually makes sense and should have picked up on the VF-1J Battroid as the smoking gun.... Very similar to his other illustration of the VF-1J in "repair"...

    It would have went uncorrected....then finally a necro- post 15 years later from me! Poor Masami Watanabe can't get no respect....
  14. jvmacross
    Masato?

    I was never able to get into either Daredevil or The Punisher....or any of the other Netflix shows....but really enjoying the new D+ Daredevil show.... It doesn't seem like I am missing out by not having watched the previous shows, but if I wanted to try again, what would be a better watch....The Punisher or Daredevil?
  16. jvmacross
    Assume the position now....

    The DS bucket is cool

    Wait....you think BW is champing at the bit to go into a distribution-profit sharing deal with HG?

    In terms of media....Robotech is dead.... However, in terms of merch (mainly toys)....it has arguably never been better thanks to all of the Chinese companies cranking out product.... For the most part, Robotech is primarily tied to Macross....as long as Macross never dies, neither will Robotech....even if HG relinquished its license, someone out there would buy it and keep releasing Robotech "Macross" toys....it's a great license to own...zero efforts in coming up with new ideas....just collect on licensing fees on all the old ones you never even created yourself, heck, the hardest part was just coming up with "veritech", "guardian", and "battloid"....LOL

    Welcome to Macross World! Macross toys made by Japanese companies get posted in the Toys thread... "Macross"/Robotech toys made by non-Japanese companies get posted in the Anime and SciFi thread... We have not seen any officially BW licensed Macross toys by non-Japanese companies....ever... and likely never will...

    The Takatoku Destroids from the "Macross Collection Series" are not worth as much as they used to these days....with box and all contents in decent shape they average about 3500 JPY....the 2 Battroids from this set still command a higher resale value, as well as, the Destroid Monster....so if you got anywhere from about 25 to 50 usd for each to account for the proxy fees and int'l shipping fee one would need to pay to buy them straight from a Japan auction or retail shop, then you did well... Here is a full set.... https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/48218-takatoku-toys-macross-collection-series/#comment-1525158 A couple of things to watch for on these collectibles are bad yellowing on the Battroid figures and a poor leg design on the Destroid Monster that often leads to a broken leg...

    To milk the mold at least one more time with a "no shading" edition!
  23. jvmacross
    Now you have to get the black strap version...
  24. jvmacross
    Very nice....I'd just be interested in the box with inserts to hold the pieces....100 usd seems reasonable to me
  25. jvmacross
    They seem to be getting them from Kids Logic....but then I'm not sure where Kids Logic is coming up with some of their names...lol
