    yep...that has been suggested several times..... Arcadia needs to "renew" this.....

    issue 31..... 22 new cover illustrations out of an expected 30. Wonder if they will decide to do more than 30 new covers?

    I don't think it really captures Misa's face very well....but if anyone is interested.... http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m111256740#enlargeimg

    Some of the most valuable Yamato valks gathered a fair share of dust before selling out....

    makes sense......and that's for a plain one with no armor, ordinance, booster, arm cannon, or ghost......lube will also be extra!

    thanks....so I guess as long as the events of DK trilogy take place before MOS....they could technically still have been considered 'in-universe"......which is why I was disappointed that the makers of MOS said the world as portrayed in the DK films is not the same as that of MOS.....just another lame excuse to "reboot", yet again, the Batman portrayal that most fans have come to embrace.....and why DC is losing to Marvel at the big screen.....

    ...and yet I think you answered the only real question I had about MOS......thanks!

    I have not seen MOS yet....at this point I probably will wait for BD......but I have a question about it.....in the movie does Clark Kent become "Superman" as a result of General Zod's arrival to Earth or was he already "out of the closet" doing things in the world and known as "Superman" to the world? If he was "outed" due to the arrival of Zod.....why couldn't all "current" DC "universes" as envisoned in each of the separate DC character movies...just be "forced" to "fit in" to the "universe" that has resulted from "MOS"? Surely, every city in the world...including Gotham.....would have to adjust to the revelation of the existence of "Hostile Alien Lifeforms" that has now become a real threat to the planet.....so basically the entire DK Trilogy could have happened before the battle between Superman and Zod...... I do not remember if the events in Green Lantern were local or if they were "world-wide"....but if they were just concentrated in one city.....the events could be "blocked" from the world....like the ASS-1 crashing on South Ataria.... If that were so, then I would place the events in GL as occurring just before the events in MOS.......with the Earth via some DC version of "SHIELD" in contact with Green Lantern (he is military already?) just as Zod arrives and Superman is revealed to the world......In this scenario, Batman is known to the world, but most "officials" consider him a vigilante/threat outside of Gotham City.....only his "self-less" act at the end of DKR has "elevated" his status to being a "good guy" or "SUPER HERO"...... As I have said before, my knowledge of DC comic lore is limited (is there even a DC version of SHIELD?), but from the Miller series....Batman does not like Superman all that much......and that is what makes any movie involving both Superman and Batman interesting.....however, that animosity needs to be explained not just jumped into.....unless the film is an adaptation of the Miller graphic novel set in the future....I can only hope for the best.... In short, a VS. type movie will probably not work.....a movie involving both Superman and Batman basically should be about the "origin" of the DC version of SHIELD and be driven by the intergalactic threats revealed through the events of MOS.........I mean how the heck can you ignore that???.............In this scenario....I would have preferred GL as the driving force behind wanting to put together a "team"....with Superman being the second to join...and Batman only joining after some "ALIEN" threat nearly decimates Gotham.......the end of the movie would showcase other "super heroes" coming out of the woodwork (pick your favorites)....plus other "villians" and new planetary threats (again pick your favorites)..... OK...end of rant!

    The Banpresto 1/144 line of transforming VF-1 valks did that with their VF's....each one in the line contained a -1J, 1A, and -1S head....kinda cool as no other company has ever provided that with their toys....
  14. jvmacross
    Guess it all depends on how many flavors it will be offered in....Yamato always seemed to offer a plain vanilla and one with sprinkles! Perhaps Arcadia will only sell it as a gut-buster version!!!
  15. jvmacross
    I'm afraid that at the new MSRP that Arcadia seems to be suggesting for their PT valks.....even the "everyman's" VF-1 has now become a "super-duper" collectible..... What will be the cost of the fully loaded YF-19 with armor, booster and ghost???
  16. jvmacross
    At those prices I can't rationalize adding more cels to my collection....I have never seen prices for cels as the ones that just sold going that high...it could have been just a bidding war among a couple of big spenders....I would have guessed about 400-500 usd for the Hikaru....wonder how much Mandarake paid for them or if they were consigned?....I know they pay about 50% of market value for toys people bring into their shops....
  17. jvmacross
    Really curious on what the packaging will look like for this.....as well as for the 30th VF-1J........wonder if they finally have decided on paying Tenjin/Hasegawa the rights to use his art on their boxes??? If so, may explain the higher prices..... If Arcadia decides to re-release their entire line with tenjin boxart........ugh.......
  18. jvmacross
    So how many Yamatos, Bandais, Takatokus, and/or Arcadias can you get with this kind of money...... https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auc_e/itemInfo.do?itemId=03012711330100006 https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auc_e/itemInfo.do?itemId=03003816020100001 ........

    Wait....it's not like a Yamato V2 30th VF-1S DYRL Focker.......because it has a stand and it will say Arcadia on the box? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVqVdQYC44Y
  20. jvmacross
    150-200 usd for a complete copy....book with cover and obi, poster and film strip with slip sleeve and tassle....depending on image on film strip you may decide to pay more as the seller may be inclined to ask for more....
  21. jvmacross
    So Arcadia will now post new release info on non-Arcadia sites?....heck non-Japanese sites?!.... Looks like someone took a DYRL Focker V2 and adapted a YF-21 stand to hold it...
  22. jvmacross
    As a non-hard core follower of DC and comics characters or comics storylines in general ....my only benchmark for a Superman/Batman story is the Frank Miller story from the 80's..... I'll remain hopeful until the reviews are in....
  23. jvmacross
    You can get an idea from completed auctions on eBay.... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=robotech+revell&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc

    Has this become vaporware? Looks like it was ready to go......
  25. jvmacross
    Hopefully there are enough paid subscriptions to keep it going for the full 80 issue run.....
