Sentinel! lol. The perfect scenario would be for Bandai to sponsor a Macross The First anime and they can produce VF-1's and other fist gen mechs and figures off that show and... well that's it. That's all I care about. Then they can hand off that Frontier license to Arcadia or whomever. We all know that the VF-1 is one milkable mother-effer.

lol. that's an article for life insurance... he be pulling your leg.

Well... they HAVE been jerking us off for a while now.

Hey Graham... if your contact ever gets back to you, is there any way you can ask him if we can get copies of all the promo pics they had of all the Macross toys they made? It'd be great to archive those. The ones they had with the Zoomifiers.

Gone...

Excellent post Duymon! Unfortunately everyone will have forgotten everything you typed by the next page... and the cycle continues.

Actually Tenjin has been annointed the canonic blassings. He's not just another artist with interpretations.

zzzzzzz... I bet the people on this whole thread has the movie more fleshed out than the actual people working on it. Lawrence Kasdan's script of the Robotech movie: All work an d no play makes Jack Archer a dll boy. All work and no plya makes Jack Archer a dull boy. \All wr k and no paly makes Jack Arche r a dull boy. All work and no Play makes Jack Archer a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack Archer a dull boy. All wor k and no play makes Jack Arc her a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack Archer a dull boy. All work and n o play makes Jack Archer a dull boy. All work and no play akes Jack Arche a dull boy. All work and no play makesJack Archer a dull boy. Al l work and no play makes Jack Archer a dull boy. ....

Have you tried applying it like a decal? Try heat of a light bulb, ultra violet light (might yellow plastic) or passing a low temp blow dryer without melting the plastic. Practice with a scrap piece of styrene.

No it was made in the SF valley. I should know I worked on it.

Make sure to take really nice pics of fighter first!

You're kicking ass with that metallic paint.

That's my dream shelf as a kid.

You can say that it's weed and they won't have to die. Hollywood doesn't kill stoners. i.e. every stoner movie ever made.

second millia? I can't even get one! lol. Nice MP collection too.

Strange. I was following Yamato's Z1 build up and for the first time after Wonderfest Yamato Toys finally put up a tweet.

Wow. Noyhauser! Great weathering!

Smoothening done! Is that a word? these babies are off to the recaster! Destroid fell on the guy with the sticks. Had to replace the stick and rescult the hand.

You guys got an Objet Eden?

Forgot to mention one more thing... the production office was full of people that could have answered any calls. In fact, they were entertaining pitches from writers and producers for other scripts while the whole mission was going down just to keep up the ruse

OK from the 42 minute documentary I just watched they didn't mention Canada as part of the ops. They did mention that they had to get full cooperation from the Canada as far as getting passports and backing up the story. The CIA ops went there to brief them and get approval of what was to take place. They did mention the UK embassy specifically. They said that there were a couple of consulates that chose to head for the UK Embassy and those people were eventually turned back to the American Embassy, but the six went straight to the Canadian embassy. This was from one of the refugees' interview so it was first hand account. No mention of NZ. There were a couple of great points that weren't included in the film. Maybe they were shot and left on the cutting room floor, but it would have added to the story and suspense if they used them. A couple of changes from actual events to the movie: Tony Mendez had a partner. I suspect that he was left out because he's still in active duty because they didn't give his real name and they even hid the actor's face from the dramatization. The refugees were moved from house to house. This could be what happened to the New Zealand part of the story. I'm suspecting that they cropped that part of the story to streamline it. I mean, moving them could have replaced the scene in the Bazaar but I think it had more impact and more suspensful to actually have it to do something with the moviemaking storyline. Location scouting was never mentioned. No maid in the house. Could have happened but was never mentioned. Of course the final chase never happened. Seemed obvious. There were repeated calls by the Iranian intelligence to the Canadian Embassy asking for the six missing consulates. The Iranians welcomed the idea of having a film crew there to stimulate tourism and to show the world that they were still a stable economy. They were under little or no suspicion. Again this was just a 42 minute documentary for Discovery but I'm guessing that Canada's involvement with actual ops was portrayed well enough, I'm not saying it's accurate. But the fact that they were given full credit at first may lead people to believe that they had more to do with it. Though from the statements by the people involved it was Tony that bought that tickets (he bought two sets) and nothing was mentioned about staking out the airports. They did represent the fact that knowing the ins and outs of almost all international airports' routines was part of their jobs. I do still think that Canada's involvement wasn't reduced, to me it came across pretty well that the Canadians stuck they're neck out for six Americans. Affleck still deserves that Oscar. Like I said, the ops went a lot smoother than represented, but I think it did well to show the anxiety these people were going thru and the danger they were in if discovered.

oh, they did get screwed then... lol. But the movie didn't make the US Government shine either. I think the Canadians still came out ahead. Anyway... gonna watch the doc to learn and compare.

What? Did you miss the part that the Canadian Ambassador, his wife and their staff risked their life to keep those people alive, as accounted by the CIA agent involved? And then Canada took the heat so not to involve the US which would result in a retaliation that would most likely involve the hostages still in Iran? Not to be political here... I'm just trying to make sure we saw the same movie. And please, no political talk unless it directly involves the plot. As in comparisons to what really happened. No justifications or anything that would turn this into a political debate thread. Anyway... this seemed like it would be a difficult movie to make. I mean not to make light of the situation, I'm sure it was gut wrenching for everyone involved in the real life event, but for the most part it seemed like in the true story, almost everything went as planned. The premise is really what makes it sound fantastic. There's 2 events that made the movie really pump up the stress level and that's the walk thru the strip and the escape all the way thru the airport. I'm unsure about the first thing but I'm almost 100% certain that the last part was elaborated way out of the ball park. I'm not complaining at all, I was into it. And this is why I think Affleck truly deserves the win. He really made the audience feel the panic and anxiety without adding in obligatory fake shoot outs or even avoiding the refugees try to kill each other in the house. I don't know if I would watch it again though. I'm about to watch a documentary about it. Also, Alan Arkin gets better everytime he's on screen. Likable in the Rocketeer, great in Little Miss Sunshine and really good in this movie.
