  1. Where do you source all your waterslide decals? The only decent Macross-specific ones I have were stolen from model kits. Low-resolution fan-printed sets are unsatisfying, but they're better than the generic aircraft or mecha decals available (that tend to disintegrate as I apply them to the surface)... How is it you seem to have such an endless supply available for 1:60 scale VFs?

    Well, if Kawamori put it there, I'll do the same. Thanks for your contributions, everyone!

    That VF-25 is from Bandai's "VF100's" line. Arcadia hasn't produced any Macross Frontier toys, nor do they make model kits. Perhaps you're thinking of Bandai...? Bandai produced a wide variety of Frontier toys at 1:60 scale, and a number of 1:72 model kits. Hasegawa also has a wide range of Macross model kits at the same scale.
  4. Regardless, ¥6480 is a lot to spend on a character I already have at that scale... Think I'll stick with my $20 Hasbro Legends Nebula... ...and Gamora.
  5. I get where you're coming from... but even some TV Valkyries differ only by head.
  6. Luckily, I haven't started on my Moscato Gnerl yet... and this will provide excellent motivation to do so. Awesome idea, Brett. Count me in.

    And "MEGA ROAD-01" on the ventral strake...! Can't one of you Macross gurus clue us in?
  8. Rintaro's epic feature film version of CLAMP's X/1999 manga series, simply titled X, is desperately in need of an HD remastering for Blu-ray release.

    So, taking inspiration from the HMR, I've started giving my 1:60 VF-4 the "Premium Finish" treatment... However, I have a question concerning the markings on the HMR. What does the "SDF-018" on the vertical stabilizers refer to?

    He looks a lot like the Rick Hunter portrayed in the new Titan Comics series... Except for the eyes, of course.

    Tampographed arrows, numbers and triangles make all the difference to me. The 1:60 VF-4 just looks too plain, especially the nosecone. Time to break out the waterslide decals!
  12. Absolutely not. First of all, Rogue One is no more Jedi-related than Solo is. Secondly, Rogue One didn't try to re-cast a principal Star Wars character. The digital zombies were terrifying, but marketing wasn't relying on them (and Genevieve O'Reilly had already played Mon Mothma in Revenge of the Sith). Alden Ehrenreich, on the other hand, had to convince audiences he could be Han Solo -- based solely on the trailers -- and... didn't. Most importantly, Rogue One followed in the wake of The Force Awakens, which was a massive success and fairly well-received by fans. Solo came quickly after The Last Jedi had enraged a large portion of the fandom, and also had a lot of bad pre-release press, owing to its troubled production... Lest we forget, box-office receipts are a reflection of a film's marketing, not the quality of the film itself. Even Batman & Robin was a financial success.
  13. Why put jets on flight stands if the landing gear is deployed...?

    Several will, I'm sure. The only question is, who will be the first? Well, whaddaya know... I answered my own question.
  15. It all depends on how well Episode IX fares at the box office. Solo drowned in the wake of The Last Jedi, and if fans are still angry enough to boycott the sequel as well, it may not make enough money to justify the production of further Star Wars films... and this new trilogy could be cancelled as quickly as Rian Johnson's was.
  16. Oh, that's just cosplay. Artists have been drawing girls like that for decades. But official Bandai merchandise!?! I'm particularly intrigued by the large block of text on the front of the box: GESF OIY CEERL WOFD HGYN LPGEC EUVX JCLN PTSGHAI GLP GT-R COLGE NISHU A ZO KNJIGEE KACUTASANWP HLY TWFO PDEH TS DE LAGJIKLH CFLRT OP YAD HAWRN.

  17. So Optimus and Megatron aren't the leaders any more? I think Hasbro should seriously reconsider their size classification system.
  18. Umm... I don't think your post belongs here... This section of the forum is for off-topic posts, not directly related to Macross.
  19. Picked up this filthy bug at a convenience store on my way home: Not nearly so dirty in robot mode, though. Comes in one of those monochromatic Japanese boxes that scream "EXCLUSIVE!". Scales great with filthy voyagers.
  20. I'm waiting for Yes-Model to release an upscaled Utopia knock-off, once they're finished releasing their upscaled Guardia knock-offs.
