Contemplating 2. If this is going to take place roughly every 2 months, does that mean we are looking at roughly 10 months from start to finish?

Even with inflation I'm in for one. I'll consider 2, this is going to be basically the pinnacle of Mospeada garage kits unless you do something more epic, it's not chicken scratch, but quality seldom is cheap. Is there a certain number of commitments that are necessary to make this happen? ~Edit~ Cap,n if you decide this is a go, I assume you'll give us some instructions on how to contact you to make arrangements for a deposit/contract.

Barring Catastrophy I'm in.

Is there an emoticon someplace for a wallet crying, having a nervous breakdown, and then maybe slashing it's wristflaps?

Package received, thanks for another smooth transaction! The casting job on these looks fantastic as always.

Sorry Took me an extra couple days to get my order in, had an issue with my Paypal account, hopefully i'm not too late.

Well, Senor Salzo did put his project on hold, but I think that his 1/72 may still make a re-appearance for those that missed out on the first run. Barring financial catastrophy I'll be picking up a second one. 1/100 is cool, but the 1/72 is as big as a dog

Jeez, I haven't looked in the toy forum for a while and I missed one of the coolest threads ever on Macrossworld. That is just a stunning piece of work. Congratulations on having / creating what is probably the coolect representation of the SDF-1 on earth. Thanks for sharing all the great pictures so we can live vicariously though you!

I want one. It might be two weeks before I can order, had to replace the washing machine, new rotors and brake pads in the truck and a surgical bill have tapped out my fun money this week Hopefully they''ll still be available.

It can be yor first foray into the crossover world of Macross Marital Aides, you'd make a mint in Japan I tell ya!! Seriously though, rough estimate of the length in 1/5000 would it be like a meter long? What if you just picked an odd scale that would look good on a shelf?

I gave the show a chance,and I thought it started out pretty well. I'll be tuning in to see how things develop. It had some super hero cliches, and was just a little cheesy, but that's not a big deal if it's well written and acted, They've got some fun to watch actors involved so I'm hopeful.

I gave the instructions a bump. Out of curiousity. Lets say that there is a pretty long line of Kits on a guy's workbench ahead of this one. Would it be better to bake the parts and let them sit in the box, or wait until you are ready to start building before breaking out the cookie sheet?

Kits are being received, bumping instructions so folks that didn't get a copy can print em out

I just cruised by the Post Orifice and picked up mine. Now, is there an instruction thread? I vaguely recall something about having a few parts that require baking again, is that right?

Likewise, I'll keep an eye peeled to this thread because I highly doubt anyone else will come to market with a 1/72 Monster, but take care of your priorities first, after all this is supposed to be a hobby and fun. I hope things settle down and you get some fun time in the ear future!

I also wouldn't put it past Bandai from playing a little hardball with competitors and putting this stuff out, only because Wave started making Macross kits. It's hard to know what their motivations are, but I find it a little suspicious and strangely coincidental that this is happenign right around the time Wave it just starting to come to market with some Macross kits that haven't been sold since the Arai / Imai days.

Looking at the detroids they've chosen, they are cognizant of the recent Wave releases and have chosen to supplement the recent releases, so they don't oversaturate and end up wiht a bunch of peg warmers. I'd bet they'd also rush to beat competitors to the punch with re-releases of old stuff that someone else was looking at putting out. So if some someone else was thinking about releaseing a Regult, or a Monster, they just may have lost part of their market.

I don't understand why I love and hate you so much at the same time. The skills are unquestionable, the stuff you make is always, without fail, awesome. But my wallet keeps saying "That guy is the devil, you need to ignore him and all of the foul temptations that he dangles in front of you. I think that stupid wallet is sitting next to my bed brainwashing me in my sleep. You know what, screw him. Cap'n wins, I want mooooooooooooore!!!! Lookin good. I'm really happy that you've come out as a zentran/meltran design fan and are excited about doing their ships. I love watching them come together and can't wait to get my copy(ies)!

I agree with this ^ In fact, sometimes damage makes itself even when I'm not going for it

Color me interested as well. Space Cucumbers are awesome!

You know, the more I think about this, this is reverse Robotechyization. Instead of creating a cartoon to support a product line, they've got these games, Battleship (and I read they are also making a Monopoly movie and considering one based on Chutes and Ladders for kids) and they are banking on the name recognition drwing an audience, then getting a script developed that has brushed with the subject matter and includes key references and catch phrases. I imagine for a Hollywood creative type, getting the blank slate to make a movie about Battleships and pretty much the freedom to write whatever the hell you want as long as it includes some battleships fighing and someone shouting the titular line, "You sank my Battleship!" probably as the crescendo of the final battle would be a real lark. Don't get me wrong, I think these are rediculous ideas, and probably will be terrible movies. But I found their inverted relationship to how RowBoatTech came about kinda funny.

The music on the trailer i saw was sampled from a song called The Crab Louse by Lords of Acid. There are about 30 remixes of the song, I haven't gone through them to identify the specific mix but it sounds like to original album version off Voodoo U. I happen to love a good B movie, this movie looks like pure escapism to me, I'm sold, I hope it's fun and have zero expectations that it will be a perfectly crafted, fully developed story with flawles characters and plot. Sometimes being ultra cynical takes all the fun out of life.

I went back and forth on the Robocop remake/reboot/re-envisioning, whatever, but ultimately I was pretty excited to see what Arenofsky came up with as long as his vision was compromised with studio nonsense (3D). Too bad.

I think it's a perfect place for them and they look great!

payment sent, thanks again Cap'n for supporting the Macross fans, you gotta know we luv ya
