I'm gonna side with Graham. I like the "C"-version a lot more than the "B". Gunpod be damned, I like the streamlined look. Glad I didn't jump on the "B" version.

In the Chronicle. But it's role is minimal.

In no such text has it ever been mentioned that Millia tested the Q-Rhea.

Problem....If you're gonna use that pic, you gotta add more sex in the advertisement. For starters, call it "ROBOTEXXX".

It's being reported that the season opener attracted 6.11 million viewers. Considering NCIS started this season with 20+ million.... well, you can do the math.

Again, I think your assigning too much to IP rights, or I should say, "copyright", as "trademark" is also intellectual property. (If links do not work, you must manually search for it here: linky) HG's US trademark on Macross goods HG's US trademark on Macross toys (renewal) HG's US trademark on Macross media HG's US trademark on Macross media distribution HG's US trademark on Macross printed media and toys What Are Patents, Trademarks, Servicemarks, and Copyrights? Unfortunately, it doesn't just apply to merchandise from "Macross Saga". It applies to The Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

* Macross Quarter - About effin time. * ADR-04-MkⅩ Defender - Meh * VF-5000 Star Mirage - B-sheet or a 1-pager * Vf-27 Lucifer - Gotta be a B-sheet

I think someone needs sleep... Actually, companies don't have to show their contracts to anyone beyond the other party and/or representatives...unless you want to file a lawsuit, to which, then you might be able to see the contract...provided the court doesn't toss your claim out on the sidewalk. But otherwise, it's none of our business since we're not a party in that contract.

Talk about a figure with a thin, long neck....

IIRC, they will only accept from a Japan address, so many of us do not apply for the mail-in bonus.

So far, it's a limited release. Beyond that....dunno.

Yeah. They have the trademark so they can use it.

Well it's probably a prototype sculpt. Probably the joint placement/transformation sculpt. We may see the final sculpt in next months' magazines.

Maybe the should have tried a made-for-TV movie/backdoor pilot.

"V" Remake Hits Big Delay Maybe they should have just save this show for summer.

Taking a guess here, it would actually conflict with HG's merchandising rights. And HG would win that battle because they got the trademark first. IIRC, games are considered merchandising so that would violate HG's rights in this case.

Hobby Japan/Model Graphix, Courtesy of Ngee Khiong: [ edit: Ninja'd by CF18 ] That back support for the VF-27 prototype looks like another "use a display stand or leave it in fighter mode"-model.

In the Reconstruction period...I would have to say it would have been easier to just apply upgrades. Why? Because Earth was decimated. You have a shortage of labor and manufacturing and there's a strong demand to move people and equipment around. Cost-wise, it would easier in the long-run to build new equipment. But that capability was hampered with reconstruction. And to get new equipment would have taken a bit to get out so it would have been easier to get current equipment upgraded until a replacement system was in place. Which is where the Factory Satellite(s) come in.

Of course, we all know how Kawamori is with canon....we says pOtato, he says it's somwhere in between poTAto and pOtato.

Keep in mind that the F-203 might have been used in a different theater of war. It's not that it didn't exist, it's just that it wasn't in service in the Pacific. I agree. From the current readings, it does give that sense that old equipment was still in service and implementing OTEC in to the manufacturing was a slow process. In a sense, the VF-0/SV-51 bridged the gap between the mixing pre-OTEC and post-OTEC designs. Even though the F-14 in M0 was updated with OTEC parts, it's still, at the core, an F-14. And eventually, both of those would disappear into history with the roll out of the VF-1.

Top Gun meets Brokeback Mountain?????

IIRC, it was from the DYRL? game. It appeared for about a second...Just like the Armored VF-1J. It was there to tease people.

The things they put up to make you play in a pachinko parlor. Reminds me of the slot machines in Vegas with a video display on it.

Consider that it's just a VF-25 mold with a new head and cockpit layout...I think it's just the camera angle.

It's Mari, so I'll let that slide for now. It's oddball news about Mari, but at least it's something. But more importantly what people don't seem to understand is IT'S NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD. Hell, I should probably prune it. But it's there for news. Album releases, game releases, book releases, animation details and release dates, magazine info,... etc. I don't read the New York Times or Time Magazine for reader feedback, I read it to find out what's happening in the world. The idea is the same for the Scoop thread. If you've got a Macross or Macross-related news item, that's what that thread is for. I may drop the Model restriction since lots of magazines pull out info about special models. But definitely no Toy news. There's a Scoop thread for that already.
