    Thanks for the response. Hopefully I don't sound stupid, but what is the point of a bunch of verniers around the main exhaust when it is already able to vector its thrust? Seems like it would do the same thing only weaker. The diverting of exhaust makes sense, but why not use that exhaust for the main (already articulated) thrusters? I could see diverting exhaust for other verniers though. Also, what are the ankle bracelets around the VF-25's feet if not vernier slits? thanks

    OK, vernier slits, what do they do? Why do some new VF's have them and others not? thanks

    I was gonna hold off for a blazer, but after getting a really clean copy of Macross 7 (central anime) I am newly inspired. I will hide the mouth and pretend it shoots real bullets from its gun. The missiles will help add to the illusion that it is not an annoying singers plane, but a hot shot fighter pilot who had his VF done up in an ugly custom scheme. Ah the power of imagination I am really going to need some help to justify the sound boosters though, any suggestions would be helpful. Perhaps some sort of high intensity microwave weapon...yeah that's a good start I am looking forward to this now.

    Press harder, they should click into place

    That's the one I was thinking of! I take it there is no English script available? MW could to a PODcast were they voice act out the show in English (minus the songs of course which could be retained in their original form). How cheesy.....Yet I would probably listen.

    What about the radio show production, I forget what it was called, where does that fall? Is there and English script for that anywhere BTW?

    Thanks, I managed to track it down. Just waiting for a response to my PM. I have all three VF-22S coming in soon, they will all need canopies.

    Tease!

    Thanks! I am not sure if I will ever have 10, but I am destined for one more at least to store my Macross Zero (damn that stuff is Big) and Macross Plus. Thankfully due to japanese exclusives I have no chance of collecting the full SDF Macross set so I am not really gonna start (though a VF-1D is in my future) I probably will end up with three total depending on how big Macross 7 stuff gets.

    Does anyone have a link to the thread where someone was casting their own canopy covers for the VF 22s. I remember reading it but didn't have a VF22S at the time and now I can't find it. thanks

    I will start with the warning that I have crap for a camera and am not a talented photographer like some of you, but here is my first display case completed. I call it DYRL? Plus because of a couple toys that aren't strictly from DYRL? but I think fit the theme. The second shelf is my engineering/armoury themed shelf, and the bottom shelf is Max themed.

    ugh...gross Maybe that's why he likes Alto, pretty like a girl, but also has something for his "pouch" Did I just say that?

    "even a GUNDAM-esque pilot-egress pose!!" I have never seen gundam, but I like that pose, first time I have even seen it.

    I am not one to be told to buy things Macross. All I am saying is that these will inevitably be scanlated and money will be lost because no proper English release was done sooner/in the first place. Especially if they are as good as purported to be. I feel that most Macross fans are willing to pony up for a legit release, problem being we haven't got one since Macross Plus. My example with the Blu-Ray was to show that they would not have to actually make a North American release as long as proper English subs were applied, North America would order from Japan and screw Harmony Gold. Just look at all the people who bought them without subs..Imagine if they were subbed.

    I dunno, if Big West wanted to be a part of the English market, they would release an English edition. Other then Macross II and Plus (which I am very thankful for) they have shown they don't really care about distribution to North America. It really is only a matter of time before an English translation is made available through some source, it is just a shame that Big West wasn't that source. I shake my head at how easy it would have been to include English subs on All the Macross Blu-Ray's and what that could have done to further their sales. It is the same for these comics. It does take time, but it isn't exactly like translating Don Quixote if you know what I mean...its a comic. Also, it is an incredibly safe venture because they have already relied on the Japanese market to cover the actual production costs, even if an English edition failed (which it wouldn't) they would essentially only lose the cost of the paper its printed on. Anyway, it is just sad that we always get left out. I think even though there are less fans of Macross in North America, we tend to be pretty rabid and would support any honest attempts at English Macross distribution. I am not taking a side, but I (like many others) enjoy collecting and having an item in hand to read from, not clicking a button on the computer, and I would love English editions.

    I picked up both at the same time

    You need to fix this pronto!

    Wow, I am impressed with the variety of responses. Mainly it is not just his action packed films that are favorites
  20. Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX
    Plants like death metal = songs can defeat demons from another dimension It is cool that plants like metal though.

    I liked conan but the seemingly endless cycle of capture/rescue gets a little old

    You guys are fast, I accidentally posted before I finished the poll and you guys were in before I edited. You are both 100% right about Nausicaa! For me seeing the movie also helped his manga come alive because my minds eye can fill in the motions easily after seeing how he animates. Somewhat similar to how I was introduced to macross (clash of the bionoids), I watched Warriors of the Wind all the time as a kid. I nearly crapped myself when we got the full release on DVD.

    In honor of the upcoming North America Nausicaa Blu -Ray release, I started this poll. I know there are some Miyazaki fans in the crowd, so cast your vote for favorite and tell us why! For me, all his films have a little bit of magic in them, but I am a die hard Nausicaa fan. The setting, creatures, animation quality, fight scenes, music...damn. The music where Nausicaa gets chased by the Tormekian corvette on her glider still gives me chills. Or the God warrior nuking a horde of Ohmu. Spirited away and Castle of Cagliostro hold a special place in my heart too. I like Monoke Hime, but in contrast to many, I prefer how Nausicaa tells the same tale.

    heh...heh... With that being said, macross "science"in general is pretty sketchy.
