    I don't know about that.... Hence, our rules: Yes, quite a shame. Hence our rule.

    Let's keep Robotech out of this thread, shall we? We can save that topic for that other thread.

    Bandai actually have their own license, separate from Yamato's, so there's no need to get pull anything (i.e., Bandai has their Hi-Metal series while Yamato is putting out their "collectors" 1/60 line, and both make their own versions of various identical VFs). As for Frontier, what Bandai probably has amounts to an "exclusive" agreement from Big West. Those usually can last ~10 years, depending on the contract. Until the time period ends, other companies can't touch those product lines. I'm not terribly concerned since Bandai's Frontier-license will expire at some point and then the market will open up for other companies to make stuff.

    Depends if they head back into space by the next episode. Going by the Gundam Unicorn Katoki Mechanical Archives, we'll see more Jesta and the Anksha next. If they follow the novels.

    This happens every year. Do I want it remade? No. Will it be remade, regardless? Probably. The entertainment industry likes to fall back on established works cuz they can't think of something new. 'Tis a nasty cycle.

    Seto has been out of this conversation for a while so which one of you people brought home the strays this time?
  7. azrael
    That I can answer...The reason for giant robots is..... AMBAC. No really. That's the reason.

    Yep. For the VF-11 at least. Animation -> Toy; things will get lost in the conversion. This should be a given. You can't make a toy/model 100% like the show. Also, the VF-11 and VF-19 shield actually rests off-center on the left arm. This allows for the extra magazine.

    Don't worry. The next set of conventions you'll attend should have it.

    The mobile skin was probably disabled from view. HOWEVER...the mobile skin still works and is very active....at least for iPhones.
  11. azrael
    Yeah, I would imagine a Shamblo kit would have to be a 1/144 HG kit to keep the size down if they ever wanted to market it. Of course the box would probably be the size of a big MG....

    If we're no longer on-topic, then this thread will get a lock.

    You mean we haven't already? It's like watching a train wreck, we can't turn away. But like all rubber-necking, we're holding up traffic and it's probably time we move on. Unless some fundamental change happens, nothing is happening.

    ??? Thought the mobile skin handles that for most smart phones these days... You mean for feature phones (i.e., regular cell phones)?

    There's also the scene at the very beginning of Ep. 4 where you hear the pilots confirm a reactor shutdown against the Juaggu. And then there's the famous scene from Ep 1 of MSG where Amuro's inexperience causes a Zaku to blow up, creating a large hole in the colony. So yeah, ideally, you don't want those MSs to blow up.

    Isn't this film more for the Kaiju/Daikaiju genre? Giant monsters and giant robots. Sounds like Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla.
  17. azrael
    IIRC, Zakus mount their reactors in the belly/hip area so yeah, he was probably was trying to commit suicide and take as many with him.
  18. azrael
    Perhaps the OP isn't paying attention...
  19. azrael
    That would also be incorrect. It's not even a semi-sequel. It was made when the rest of the show was made and was just an add-on to the Macross Plus movie release. Kinda like the Pixar shorts that get added on to movies. VF5SS is correct in that it was a part of a double-billed feature.
  20. azrael
    The VF-11 was cheap. Can't beat a bargain. And heck, if Hakuna can take a VF-1/VF-0 and turn it into a monster machine, why can't Chelsea?
  21. azrael
    To answer the retorical questions with silly answers...No, not when Star Trek has such a "rich" franchise to draw from already. And no. Why screw things up more than RDM's re-imaging. Not when you have great shows like Voltron Force. For Robowtech? You betcha. As I've said many times, the only way out is to re-image from head to toe. And seeing that nothing is happening on that front, you'll only see more threads like that one.

    What is this "First Macross"? There's Super Dimension Fortress Macross or SDFM or Macross The First, but no "First Macross". No.
  23. azrael
    That I can't answer. After 15...or are we on 16...I can't remember...It's not bad. It's standard Gundam-fare. I'm interested in the multi-generational aspect of the story.
  24. azrael
    Lemme guess...You watched Robotech?

    Wear A and B seem to follow the ZZ-ish look more than the Normal look.
