Is it what I think it is?

This guy? It doesn't appear to be mentioned in the information releases we've seen. I would love to see one made. Maybe an after market custom kit?

I think one of the main features and advantages of the Messiah is its versatility with Armor parts, Super parts, Tornado, etc. VF-19 doesn't have that range of upgrades. This is definitely a fair point.

Anyone care to speculate on MSRP? Im hoping no more than 200 USD or 20,000 JPY

This is the worst movie of all time. WARNING: This movie is so horrible your brain might explode or you may lose the will to live. Also. There are sequels. Dude got a million dollars to make more of this... Watch at your own peril. If possible find the rifftrax (same dudes from MST3K) to go with it...its the only way to make it bearable

Thats pretty brilliant. lol. Its Canon and Carnal. Maybe Neuman can have a gun to Isamu's head too. Then we could have a trifecta of sex, violence, and anime accuracy.

What about a Newman and Isamu combo figure with the headbutt!

I have a similar story. I started off with Robotech and I only knew about SDF Macross and DYRL for years. I had heard about 7 and was turned off by the concept. But I loved Plus. Zero kicked major ass. I recently finished Frontier including both movies and was thoroughly impressed. Now I'm watching Macross 7...It took me a few episodes to get over a pacifist Valkyrie and Basara's attitude but now its really growing on me. Now I cant help but think of Basara as a John Lennon in Macross universe (especially with those glasses). The story gets much more interesting around episode 12 and the characters become more endearing and the whole premise starts to make more sense. I say its starting to get higher on my list but it definitely starts kinda slow. I haven't watched all of it yet so I haven't rendered a verdict, but I'm hopeful. And I'm enjoying it enough to recommend it.

I would be happy with just a few reissues of the actual in show and movie VF-1 valks. Maybe then I wouldn't have to pay such outrageous prices. Other than that 1/60 scale monster mk. II (So I could use it like a teddy bear at night). and I definitely agree with getting some Spartans and Phalanx toys, but as much as I love Destroids... I'd give them up for at least one damn Regult in 1/60.

Seconded. I always loved the Monster mk. II and VB-6 was an awesome surprise when I first saw it on Frontier. I know the toy would be massive but I still hope for a 1/60 scale one day. lol

I think the VF-0D is a hint at a two seater configuration for the YF-19 like with the foldildo version.

I feel the same. Awesome quote. "Half the reason I collect toys now is the engineering and design. It's like artwork you can interact with." -Gakken85

Where is that pic from? Did you edit it yourself? I love the fact that it says YF-TURKEY.jpg. Hahahaha And to add my two sense on the wings:. I always loved the forward wings. Its a remarkable silhouette, speaking froma design perspective. And one of my favorite scenes is when Isamu is planning out his flight plan with his hand mimicking the fighter's wingspan. Simply awesome.

I just got the image of Hikaru in his Strike 1S blasting Bodolza at the end. So epic.

For shame, sir. For shame.

This game is right up my alley. I have been into Warhammer since I was a kid and discovered Robotech about the same time. It was actually these forums that helped me understand the difference between the bastardation that is Robotech and the original SDF Macross. But if it wasn't for Robotech I never would have discovered Macross. So I gotta love it for that and other nostalgic reasons. I love miniatures. Other than valkyries, they are my other drug of choice. Definitely the best of both worlds. I'm super stoked to get my package in the mail (whenever that may finally be, projected Dec 2013). The game seems to play similarly to turn based tabletop games like Warhammer and from the videos I've seen it looks well thought out. The Palladium RPG was always a blast to play. Palladium has always had a pretty good system. The kickstarter prices are actually extremely reasonable. Especially considering all the free add-ons they granted as they reached more stretch goals. It finished at a whopping 1.44 Million of its original 70k goal. People really want to see this made. In comparison to warhammer, there is a box set out there still for 5 pewter vampire knights on steeds for a ridiculous $90.00! I have a love hate relationship with the company that makes Warhammer, Games Workshop. If you're skeptical because its a Robotech product I would say don't be. Palladium will get almost all of the profits and they are not a terrible company and HG will only get some royalties. And the Gaming company, Ninja division, is just a small miniatures studio and they make some pretty kick ass stuff. Plus you can always just use the Macross names and terms and paint the minis anyway you want! Sorry for the rant, but I love this stuff. This kickstarter helped revive my obsession for Macross and Valks. I had to kind of put it aside when I was in college with no money and only time for Maya and PhotoShop.

Yeah I immediately looked them up after that last post. I'm trying to see if I can find them online somewhere either to stream or purchase. I feel like a super noob not knowing there were movies. I'm stoked to watch them. The series was really good.

Damn. lol But seriously, this is really fricken awesome. Excited to see more progress and the eventual end result.

I've seen all the episodes. I really enjoyed it. I was just making a joke. Is there a movie as well? Like a DYRL for Frontier?

I find those to be reoccurring themes in many anime (or at least in my favorites). Plus aren't they all about the same age? lol I say to each their own. Its an ancient debate: " To bang or not to bang. That is the Question." -Will.I.Am Shakeaspear

At the end Alto says something like you're both my wings and I can't fly without either of you. He never makes a decision right? I kind of got the impression he was going to bang 'em both and they seemed cool with that.
