Nice to see the colorized Daedelus...so no translation?
-
Pretty sure most film crews start out with similar plans..... -
Mickey will make it legal...err...I mean canon!!!
-
-
No Big West sticker....maybe that company was subcontracted by Yamato to create it in the first place and since Yamato/Arcadia did/are doing nothing with it.......... I agree it looks better in silver... The Jasmine kit begs for a diorama of this.....
-
They will release two versions...you'll need to buy the version without fast packs to get the Hikaru/Misa figurines....
-
Hopefully someone will combine a 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1S and the Jasmine Model to create this.... Did anyone here ever put one of these together?

http://starwars.com/news/the-legendary-star-wars-expanded-universe-turns-a-new-page.html "While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU. He set the films he created as the canon. This includes the six Star Wars episodes, and the many hours of content he developed and produced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align." "On the screen, the first new canon to appear will be Star Wars Rebels. In print, the first new books to come from this creative collaboration include novels from Del Rey Books. First to be announced, John Jackson Miller is writing a novel that precedes the events of Star Wars Rebels and offers insight into a key character's backstory, with input directly from executive producers Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman."

Nice! Wasn't this one a Yamato venture at one point? Hmmmm........ http://www.ebay.com/itm/202001-1-72-Vakyire-Full-PE-Model-Jasmine-Model-Macross-VF-1/131177581442?_trksid=p2050601.c100085.m2372&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140211132617%26meid%3D6528486283255796895%26pid%3D100085%26prg%3D20140211132617%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D221427182184%26clkid%3D6528488583811690734&_qi=RTM1562570

So only the 6 movies, Clone Wars and this new Rebels series are canon.......which means that if Darth Maul can be brought back....a return of Darth Sidious in not entirely out of the realm of possibility? Seeing that one of his "dark side talents" was the extension/creation of life....I actually would not be surprised.....I think it would actually be pretty good.....The Emperor as depicted in ROTJ was probably the best thing about that movie....and arguably one of the best things of the entire 6 movies combined.....I think as someone who killed his master, he probably may have feared the same from Vader....if so, he may have had a "Dark Empire"-style backup plan...

Issue 70.... 10 more to go!!!!
-
If anything, this Rebels series hints at what to expect from the sequel trilogy......mainly how ineffective apparently the Jedi purge seems to have been....maybe that is why the emperor needed the "Inquisitor".... So I guess if the sequel trilogy indeed takes place 30+ years after ROTJ....we should expect plenty of Jedi to have emerged after the emperor was "killed"... Guess they'll have to re-edit Yoda's last words on a future ROTJ release....."When gone I am....among the last of the Jedi will you be"

Is the Ishtar poster genga currently on sale somewhere or is that one that sold awhile back on Mandarake?

Issue 69...

If Qui Gon "discovered" how to bring his "spirit" back so he can communicate with the living....I'm thinking Sidious (or some new Sith we have not been introduced to taught him how to do it) may have learned that technique...and further "unnaturally" twisted it...to include the ability to embody the "spirit" into a host......Sidious would have probably kept this knowledge to himself.....just like Yoda kept it to himself until he revealed it to Obi Wan..... I'm probably wrong, but I would not be surprised at all to see "Sidious" back in some form or other....... As far as Han, Leia..their kid(s).....perhaps they will take the Indiana Jones route and start off by re-introducing Han and Leia after years of being apart......and introducing a son and/or daughter that Han was not aware of (like Mutt).....being twins would certainly play into the one good/one bad type of storyline...but who knows...it could work with just one...falling to the dark side! I am actually more interested in what they will do with the Luke character......although Leia apparently is also Force sensitive...he is really the "last" Jedi at the conclusion of ROTJ.......I can only assume that he would be interested in re-establishing the "order" and that Obi-wan, Yoda, and Anakin would have been there with him to "assist" in this.....(will Hayden return???) Maybe Sidious' character is introduced as a "Jedi in hiding" who comes to Luke and becomes a 'trusted friend/advisor" and offers his "ability' to seek out force sensitive kids/beings and recruit them into some new Jedi academy (personal Sith recruiting center?)....and Han/Leia's kid (s) would be training in this "academy", already older teens and ready for the "trials".....and, of course, one of them would fall into Sidious' dark side "teachings"...... All speculation, of course, but like Macross......there is a formula that Star Wars seems to follow: Hero rises....Hero falls.....Hero is redeemed..........mix in Jedi, Sith, space and lightsaber battles...plus R2 and C3PO...and you have Star Wars!

Minmay from Flashback 2012 OVA...
-
Yep....I have similar purchase patterns for other niches within Macross collecting.....unfortunately, toys is not one of them....
-
I'm not worried....Macross has always had a story to tell in their shows.....whether fans liked it or not is a different matter......to me, each had something of interest..... As for the Macross merchandise juggernaut...it all started with the original series in '82...and boy was there was alot produced!!!.....and then it was mostly dormant until the most recent Macross F installment......as a collector during the entire Macross line of shows.....it's slim pickings, in terms of toys/collectibles, when it comes to every show between SDFM and Macross F...... In short, we really haven't been over saturated (spoiled?) with Macross merchandising during most of the Macross shows....and when we were...I do not think it took anything away from our enjoyment and/or the quality of the show itself.....so bring on the merchandising!
-
Bandai does seem to have gotten itself on a Macross DX producing groove as of late......I'm sure they wouldn't mind keeping that money train going....
-
Seeing that pic reminded me of this comic book scene for some reason.... ....like someone else posted earlier...I too would no longer consider myself a mega-fan of Star Wars...but all the collective Star Wars imagery is so hard-coded into my brain growing up with the OT that a simple pic becomes instantly recognizable.......looking forward to what they come up with on this new Sequel trilogy....and I hope the hard-core fans are not too disappointed....
-
No. The illustration they selected for the "3D" treatment is not one of my favorites....are you looking for one?
-
Relax....I am not saying "wishful thinking" did not occur during Yamato's time as it occurs now during Arcadia's....but clearly the pic drops massive hints as to what was in the minds of YAMATO....before all went sour....and based on the pics some of it was not wishful thinking...again I am just referring to Yamato and the items hinted at in the posted pic...several of which were considered "wish list" items...
-
Based on this pic posted in the Arcadia VF-19Kai re-release thread, I wouldn't say it was "wishful thinking"....more like "broken dreams" brought on by Yamato's demise (assuming the 'hints" dropped in the pic aren't just on temporary "hold")......
