No, I don't think there is. But anyway, there's supposed to be a gallery function that's ready to be used which comes with the forum upgrade. Dunno how it works, though.

I second both the 0D and the 51 comments. Except I couldn't care less about the pinky Nora scheme. I'll just go for the DD one.

Naw. We all know that Yamato doesn't give a rats ARSE about Macrossworld. 313805[/snapback] Well, by us, I meant Macross fans in general.

That would be so awesome, I would donate mine for that cause! (matchbox veritech, I dont have any speedo max pics.....really!!!) 313543[/snapback] Well, I'm back from Yamato HQ, boy, did I pester them good. But guess what -- IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!! Check it out: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15574 OK, now for the Monster and FP 19....

No offense but that's got to be the most retarded thing I've ever heard. I mean really, to take probably one of the most perfect examples of hand-drawn animation and attempting to outdo it PLUS crap it up with CG would just totally rape my childhood. 313726[/snapback] What if we made it live-action WITH CG? 313733[/snapback] Wasn't somebody going to try that at some point. I mean sweet zombie on a stick that sounds awful! 313763[/snapback] Yeah, it was some guy called Kawamori. God, what an idiot!!

Good stuff. I think this is one of those rare examples where nagging and whining actually paid off. We told Yamato to piss off with that 1/100 crap and re-do it in a bigger scale and they have done. Well done us. And Yamato, too. OK, so how long was it since the first CAD pics of the 1/48 GBP? The release date says 2006. What do you think, summer next year? YESSSSSSSSSSS!!

That's because that's only a page of upcoming scheduled re-issues. Not to worry, they'll bring the GBP out. Although in case they don't, I will personally pollute their offices by throwing Matchbox Veritechs through the windows, and emailing them pictures of Speedo Max until they can take no more. Hell, that might make them get into gear and materialise the 1/60 Monster, the FP 19 and a GOOD VF-0S.

Yes, it has! And here it is, right now! It says it can be fitted into the Queadluun Rau currently available from Yamato.

While you're doing that, you should clear up one last time that you're in "no" way on Kazuo's side, otherwise you'd definately be on something else entirely 312522[/snapback] Noticed that. It's taken care of. Close one there.

I know what you mean. Me, I'm too scared to. You know, they don't make bandwagons like they used to. What if you fall out? Nope, I'll stay out of the bandwagon, but I will watch the people climbing in. I'll wave and wish them well as they leave. "Good bye", I'll say.

Double post again. Dammit!!

Thought I'd better get it cleared up that in no way am I on Kazuo's side just because I thought I'd correct Keith.That dude is on something else entirely. Also, just wanted to quote this gem: Love it, JBO. Genius. .... Or do I mean "Jenius"? Oh no!

No, it wouldn't. Take the name "Peter" as an example. Its kana is "pi-i-ta-a". It is not "pi-i-ta-ru". Also remember that Roy Focker is "Ro-i Fo-kka-a". You never once hear "Fo-kka-ru". Although I would like a spin-off show, "The Hikaru and Fockaru Show".

I thought it was known for some time that he was designed to fit the Q-Rau. Well, the text here confirms it anyway.

Yeah, it's read vertically, not horizontally.

Right, OK, thanks. I do remember feeling something was odd when I read that. I will watch that again and listen out for what he actually says.

Some interesting upcoming stuff: http://www.fantofan.jp/earlybirdsp.htm Colour pics of the Asterisk line with the girl figures, plus the new "Transformer EZ" line. First I've heard of this: It seems theres gonna be yet ANOTHER version of Galaxy Convoy (and Megs and SScream), this time 9cm tall and at a bargain price point. It'll probably be all PVC.

Sorry. Double post. For some reason.

Yeah, I thought that too. But I think it's just the photos.

And Sivil speaks, like, two??

Not bothered about the Roy, but YES to more FAST packs! HBAR HBAR HBAR!!

It is, really. It's just that there are a handful of minor annoyances which rather than just being errors, were intentional. A Star Trek quote, some slang that felt out of place, etc. Overall it's great, better than what ADV would do. But the little issues stand out because the set it otherwise perfect (other than color and saturation issues with the video but that's a whole other topic) For the people who think they paid too much for Macross when it first came out, keep in mind that without those initial purchasers paying a higher cost to help offset the restoration costs, the set might never have even come out. And we got it a long time before people could buy it at cheaper prices, too. 311003[/snapback] Where was the Star Trek quote? I did have a couple of problems, though. Off the top of my head: "L-O-V-E Happy Minmay"?? It's supposed to be "L-O-V-E Lovely Minmay". It did not bear well that they couldn't translate English to English. Though that's a very minor gripe. The Misa rescue scene in ep. 27: When Misa hears Hikaru's voice she says something like "why you little..." Totally inappropriate and just plain wrong. These are very rare cases though, and on the whole it's a job well done.

They're not ABS, they are PVC. I have a couple. You gotta remember that at the time Macross merchandise was practically non-existent. I was desperate... I paid too much more than I should have for that thing.

Yokosuka, hmm..? That's Kanagawa Prefecture... quite a bit far from me. I'm in Kyoto these days, there are a couple of us around the Kansai area. I believe guys like Min are the nearest to you, if he's still there. And Blackaces pops over every so often... There's also Seiichi, of course.
