    Maybe...unless he has built several in the last 30+ years..... However, I'm getting a feeling that Luke did not train anyone over the last 30 years...and that maybe that was a mistake....so now he is coming out of "retirement" to save one of his own?....

    Actually, not sure if this is true or not, but I thought I saw it posted that Mikimoto no longer wanted to get involved with any TV/film productions? Yep, why fill someone else's pockets with cash! Well, just based on every TV show so far...there is always a brand new hero valk....I am sure Bandai is insisting on it....see above regarding pockets full of cash! So it is 8 years after the events of Macross 30?....I thought it was 8 years after Macross Frontier?

    1/72 is large enough........anything larger and you're risking a sprained....ummmm.....wrist?

    Would be nice to have Mikimoto as the lead character designer again for a new Macross TV series, but it seems that Satelight is now the go-to Macross animationn house....so probably the "look" will be very similar to Macross F....but we'll have to wait and see I guess... I think we can expect the VF-30 to be the main variable fighter for NUNS...with SMS being in possession of the latest VF models..... How many years is this new show based after the events of Macross30?
  5. jvmacross
    there's probably a strong correlation of that with the news of each Arcadia re-release that no one really wants ....

    Yamato 1/60 VF-11B.....28500 JPY http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l273223453

    Missed it.....anyone on my dead pool I need to scratch off? Hopefully can catch up sometime this week....
  8. jvmacross
    heheh......no. ....but, whatever happened to that Hikaru and VF-1 cockpit Arcadia was boasting about back in the early days right after Yamato's demise? LOL....Angel-philia doesn't sound much better does it?

    I wonder if this is the same team that was contracted by Yamato to produce the vinyl Britai?
  10. jvmacross
    Never heard of this company until today...but yeah...expensive PVC/vinyl toys.... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=XPL10126&mode=retail http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=XPL10142&mode=retail Some stuff is way less... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=XPL10129&mode=retail

    Vinyl?
  12. jvmacross
    And there goes Arcadia's Macross licensing for anything but creepy dolls!
  13. jvmacross
    LOL...I never thought time travel/displacements would be introduced into Macross...but here we are...basically anything is now possible....which I guess can be both good and bad...
  14. jvmacross
    Every separate Star Wars trilogy?
  15. jvmacross
    Now that time displacement is part of the Macross canon....wonder if it will play any part in this new series?.....perhaps "Delta" is the name of some new "time/space/fold" technology or coordinate in space that allows for ease of travelling through time....a convergence point like a river "delta".... Could the events in Macross30 have cause any detrimental timeline distortions?

    Not to mention that moviegoers are going to compare them to what Marvel has already done.....and most likely will be less forgiving. These upcoming DC movies have almost no room for failure. If B v S fails in a big way....what are the chances of the rest getting scrapped? Unless the foreign markets make up for any poor US box office performance? How well did MOS do overseas?

    LOL.....I think we have taken "complaining about new releases" to a whole new level/category.....whether or not a release will be a shelf-warmer!!!.... I think that is the whole point....no one has any kind of credible evidence one way or another...those who may possibly be "in the know" are smart enough to keep confidential info to themselves so they can continue to remain "in the know"......for the rest of us, it's all just "educated" guesses based on the recent history.....I have to believe that Arcadia, at minimum, is not creating one of the same mistakes that Yamato did: over-saturating the market with any one release.....I agree, as several others probably do, that Arcadia's decisions on the selection of releases is still out-of-touch.....however, assuming that reduction of supply is part of the "new" Yamato (AKA Arcadia) business strategy....and I think that is a logical conclusion, would you keep over-producing product if that was an obvious problem during your previous business existence?.....then it is safe to say that "new" molds will not become shelf-warmers under the new low-production count releases.....the VF-0D being the 2nd "new" mold..... I think your thoughts on this one betray you Lord David.... ...however, if you turn out to be correct, I have slim hopes for Arcadia's long-term survival..... (Bandai....you're our only hope?)
  19. jvmacross
    You really believe that one year after initial release...the VF-0D will be readily available at shops like AmiAm and HLJ? Not sure why you keep pointing out that the VF-0D is a "general release".....Arcadia's definition, in terms of quantity, for a general release has changed....a general release now is most likely akin to the numbers of what a "made to order" or 'limited release" was before during the Yamato days....that is why a release like the VF-0D will sell-out before becoming a discounted shelf-warmer.... Not sure I or anyone else can convince you that the VF-0D will not end up a shelf-warmer....so before this turns into a gubaba-style pissing contest and you go all gubaba on me... ....I'll agree to disagree with you...
  20. jvmacross
    Exactly..... But how many Arcadia YF-19's does he have left? None. The same will happen with the VF-0D.....even a secondary shop like HKC will sell-out..... Arcadia is not releasing product in the same amounts that Yamato previously did....as long as it is not something like the Anniversario or Golden Kai....it will not be around for long.....the VF-0D is not in the same category as the Anni and Golden Kai....those two are just plain boneheaded releases.....hopefully not enough to get Arcadia in financial trouble....
  21. jvmacross
    It's part of the Walking Dead formula now...no one is safe except the Grimes, Michonne and Daryl... We are now back in that situation...except Carol happens to be female....

    Do you have any pics of a production sample helmet, perhaps a customer's recent order, that was built to to look like those that appeared in the film? Perhaps a red Hikaru, yellow Roy, blue Max, or green Kakizaki? I think posting pics of such a helmet would help your sales. I personally have not purchased one because I have yet to see one that is made to "look" as close to a movie version (without the non-movie extras like the "911" logo , extra "un spacy kites" and thick black border lines on the side "semi-arrows").

    tell that to HKCollectibles.... http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7150-super-pack-for-vf-17-30th-anniversary.html http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7131-vf-19f-emerald-force-30th-anniversary.html http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7149-vf-17d-nightmare-diamond-force.html http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7132-vf-17d-nightmare-with-super-pack-30th-anniversary.html http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7151-vf-19p-planet-zola-patrol-color.html http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7239-vf-1j-30th-anniversary-ltd.html If anything, you should be able to see a strong correlation between achieving "shelf-warmer" status and a corresponding slashed/discounted price. Of course, their are several other factors involved that contribute to the making of a shelf-warmer.....I just pointed out the most obvious one...the one aspect that only materializes "after" release.....I think your case for arguing why the VF-0D will become a shelf-warmer is in need of "predictors".... IMO, the main predictors of a future shelf warmer are popularity, quantity produced and price..... I do not think the VF-0D is the most popular VF and clearly folks are not happy with its price......however, Arcadia is not producing in "Yamato" quantities anymore......the VF-0D will not languish on shelves for exactly the same reasons their YF-19 did not......"newness" and low production quantities......unfortunately, the 300 dollar price tag is the "new normal".....and there are still enough Macross fans out there with the disposable income to buy up the new level of supply that Arcadia is now making available....it will not have a chance to become a shelf-warmer

    Realized I never posted pics of the Macross kids hardboard book Vol 1........so here it goes.... A group shot of all 3 volumes to begin.....
  25. jvmacross
    I thought that was part of the show's schtick.....reuse the same actors every season portraying different characters?
