Exactly. I, for one, am happy that I don't need to dig through x-number of books to find references or attempt to read some gawd-awful handwriting. I just can search the Chronicle to find the text and be merry.

The UN didn't exactly break down. Kawamori says that UN adapted itself into NUN as the universe got bigger for humans. Controlling hundreds of worlds (and fleets) from Earth isn't feasible anymore given the distance between the colonies and Earth. It wasn't a a coup, but the human world realigning itself to the galaxy at large. You can't govern a new world from afar. In essence, it became much like our modern UN. Colonies are members of the NUN, but they are free to govern their own worlds as they wish.
Well, in the current state of things, there aren't too many places to get monitors. Best Buy or Fry's is probably the only places left. 17" LCD monitors are probably the smallest you'll find these days.
The only way Robotech would impact Macross is if HG wants to license it, but then that's a whole new problem with music licensing, which involves money, and I don't see too many companies wanting to jump on that train in the current economic state of things.
Robotech is going off on it's own with the live-action. And as I've said many times, things are probably going to be redesigned since I don't see how a 80's cartoon design works for a live-action movie.
Exactly. They run their site the way they want to. People use to come here all the time to complain about RT.com's modus operandi. And you know what? It wasn't our problem. So if you want to change things, do it over there cuz we can't change they way they do business cuz it ain't our site.
I thought we ended this who mess of going to RT.com to cause trouble long ago. We don't need or want a site war going on. Let them live in their own little world over there.
For a toy of that size, it would be hard to produce the bay doors to mimic the animation's design. Which is fine since a bit of anime magic needs to occur for the gunpods to fit in there. At least you won't have to deal with gun pods falling off.
Word out of AICN is that the leaked version is as close to the final version as it gets. Whether or not you believe it, is up to you. Word from Fox is, the movie will have a few different endings, so to speak.
Reviving your old thread is how we roll here. And if there hasn't been any news in 3 months, then there hasn't been any news. It doesn't mean we don't like it. It's just that we haven't heard anything. Heck a quick Google and ToysDaily search shows it's last postings back to 2008. So no, there hasn't been any news so this thread will probably go dormant till there is some news.
Keep in mind, Bay has been saying things out of his ass so it's hard to gauge want is true out of that man's mouth. First he said, no Megatron. Then Hugo Weaving says "I'm doing the VA right now." Then Bay says it's a flashback. Then he shows up in fighting Prime on Earth in the TV spot.
Yeah, I'm bringing this thread back from the 1-year grave. Only because there's news about it now.
