  1. The more I see this the more I want it -- I am not really bothered about the misinterpretation of such an obscure design.
  2. Sweet, best news ever! Thanks for the heads up, Boinger, I shall do the same.
  3. My mistake, I knew it was a double bill, but for some reason I thought it was a summer movie... I guess the show had literally just finished the previous week? Apparently the last episode aired September 24th 1995.
  4. Good call, I'm totally down for that. Oh, hang on, I realized that the baby pod wouldn't come with the blue 1D... Argh.
  5. Tiny note: This isn't really a sequel to the TV show, because it takes place during the series chronologically, and also I think M7 was probably still airing when it was released. Tiny note 2: This is the only Macross 7 thing that Ichiro Itano had any involvement in.
  6. I think his point is "since you already KNOW the story..."
  7. I like this part: Yes, people! IMAGINATION!! Use your god-given creativity to rip apart somebody's intellectual property to fit awkwardly into someone else's!
  8. Yeah, we wrote the definitive translation of Angel's Paints... wherever that is now. If i remember, he was banned for being too mouthy regarding HG and Row-boat-tech. Such a waste, because he was really enthusiastic about Macross and active in the fandom, but I guess he just went too far.
  9. It's actually funny that last week I had the exact opposite experience. I put in a random SDF Macross DVD for the first time in years and I got really bored (and the animation also made it really unwatchable), so I put in a random Macross 7 DVD (again, for the first time in years), and I was genuinely entertained for 25 minutes.
  10. Yeah, I'm not a scale-completist and so I'm very picky about my stuff. I have Hi-metal 1/100 versions of the 1S and 1J and I feel like they're enough. Even though I know that the v2 is a totally different toy, I still feel like I'm buying the same thing if I end up with ANOTHER Hikaru or Roy. And I have a 1/48 1J too, so that takes the 1/60 even further out of the realm of consideration. THIS, on the other hand....
  11. I dunno, count me in with the folks unimpressed with the head. There is something about it that seems really off, I don't know what. I think the visor may be too narrow, for one thing. Also the stripes are clearly not blue, but that may be due to lighting. Like I said, it's just old. Yeah, I think that might be cool. A lot of the details on this toy are lost on the dull colour/finish (through no fault of its own, of course).
  12. I'm getting really tired of seeing that picture. It was funny maybe once or twice.
  13. Excellent user name and avatar. Even though there are several points in your post that I disagree with, Lupin is just too awesome to argue with.
  14. I'm the opposite -- This might be the one I DO get! I only own two v.2's: the VE-1 and the VF-1D. I'm really liking this scheme.
  15. I was fixing my 11C last night. The white shoulder hinge has recently developed a crack... maybe the screw is too tight? Anyway I glued the crack and I'm hoping that's it for now. Still probably my favourite valk.
  16. It just says that GA collaborated on it. No mention of exclusivity (yet). Although I personally don't realistically believe they will make very many.
  17. Sounds excellent!! Shame that Guitar Hero is not available in Japan...
  18. Price 10,290 yen, out April (VF-1D) and May (VF-1S), 2012. Can't make out what the 1J says, but I think it's probably "TBA". http://www.macrossworld.com/1055/more-wf-news-yamato-160-vf-1-re-releases-with-upgrade-parts-coming/#more-1055
  19. Don't forget they also announced a 1/100 VF-1D.
  20. OK. Let's just have those words be the only thing on this website from now on. Trimmin' the fat, baby. Right.... But I thought, you know, if he's actually here, and going to WF... then...
  21. Not necessarily, Macross Mecha Manual has been wrong about those things in the past....
  22. They're reissues with the option parts included.
  23. Renato

    SCOOP thread!

    I'll just go and front-page the upgrade parts, then, since they're not there.
  24. It's PC-98 game, not TurboGrafx-16.
  25. How comes Noel doesn't post anymore?
