  1. Great job Gubaba. I think your translation brought out the mood of the novel pretty well. This is a must read for SDFM fans. I loved mikimotos artwork as well. And I retract my previous statement about Minmay's appearance in the novel. I now love it cuz it led to the wonderful Mikimoto illustration of little Minmay. Misa had a hard teenager period, this made me glad to see what happened in SDFM.
  2. I wonder if the other Arcadia release will also now feature tenjin art, or it's only for this 30th anniversary joint venture.
  3. Good news is the fantastic box art, bad news is the gigantic box!
  4. Thanks for the vid! DYRL was pretty big in HK. We ended up having the VHS with Japanese dialog chinese sub and I remember watching it over and over and over and over again.... I don't actually remember that there was a chinese version of the DYRL song. It's sung by Chan Wai Haan, correct?
  5. I'm patient but still no shipping notification from HLJ after nine days is pushing it.... Granted I had almost 40 items in my PW (mostly just Macross chronicles), but I thought a week would have been plenty.
  6. Ha, so this is where the HG discussion is at! Thanks david for pointing me here.
  7. It appears many of the TF fans only know of robotech, and are not aware that Macross has continued through the decades in Japan.
  8. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/947905-harmony-gold-suing-hasbro-over-sdcc-jetfire-set.html Courthouse News Service Harmony Gold suing Hasbro over the SDCC Jetfire set Looks like Harmony Gold managed to get the Transformers fans all raged up!! Finally, somebody else feeling our pain! Mods, not sure where was the best place to put this, move if necessary.
  9. Insane prices!!!! People really love Hikaru! I like the max/kaki much more.
  10. Technoblue and sketchley covered what I had wanted to say. Thanks!!
  11. And look at where animeigo is now..... I'd have a hard time believing that BW will let go of its ego and ask fan's help for free, so that they can satisfy a market that they don't really care about.
  12. it all comes down to money. There is a budget to the blu-ray's production, and a (likely tiny) amount of that budget goes towards the sub. If the budget doesn't allow for additional proof reading, it won't be done (unless someone on the project is both skilled and dedicated enough to do it for free). I'd rather them say, "let's get subs onto the bluray disc with the available budget, even if it ain't perfect", than say, "since we don't have the budget to get the subs perfect, let's forget about it". Scenario 1 is probably what happened to MP. Hopefully they'll either do the same for MF boxset (or even better has a bigger budget for it). If I have to choose, I'd pick slightly subpar subs over no sub any day.
  13. Any subtitles would be fine for me, even if it's just like Macross plus ones. Especially considering its either that or no subs at all.
  14. Is there any way to purchase the concert goodie package? I would like to get that poster! If there are any brothers out there who are going and are so kind to buy for me please PM! Thanks this is the poster I was referring to (interesting that Max and Miria appeared twice in there!)
  15. Apparently one can enter a vf-1 cockpit by opening a door on the side!! Talk about an accurate model! Pity that Minmay cosplayer was blocking most of the view of the cockpit interior. Thanks for the links and pics guys.
  16. There is also the belt from Jeeg, immediately below which is the combattler waist. No that's the core fighter from gundam RX-78.
  17. I've been following this thread and am loving it and your translations. Thank you for doing this. Misa is more into Riber than I had thought!! I thought it a little cheesy that they happened to have gone to Ngyan Ngyan and saw Minmay and that Minmay even said that Riber looked like Kaifun. Haven't read Ch 2 yet though. Hopefully tonight.
  18. How much does customs charge? I assume you are in the states too? Is there a upper limit above which we get charged duty?
  19. yay, after this i'm done with Frontier valks.
  20. Thanks Tochiro. I still have to figure out a way to overlay subs on blu-ray. Not savy by any means. I can sit through a 2 hr movie without subs, but not 50+ episodes on M7! Either that, or learn Japanese already.....1 sem in college years ago wasn't nearly close to enough. At least I can read most kanji thanks to my background. I'm surprised that MF tv series never had a box set, or did it? I'd pay for a nice box to get all nine disc in one place.
  21. Is the macross zero blu-ray worth picking up? I couldn't find a thread with much information. What do you guys think of the video/audio quality? I assume no subtitle either, but doesn't hurt to ask....

    VF-1 Plush toy

    10" would put them at 1/60? I think I just found a stand-in for 1J max. Now release the FPs too.
  23. nah, a naked VF-1 with basic armament only weighs 8 oz. A fully loaded VF-1 with Super and Strike pack + armament weighs just over 13 oz. I imagine if you take away the armament it'd be under 13 oz. Having said that, don't those things work based on magnetic field? If so the minimal diecast on the v2 VF-1 will be just sitting on them, no? Edit: nevermind, just saw the first video and saw the little rounded plate that a valk can sit on.
