heh... this is a good read... it started off as as round number uhm... 20? of the old what came first the 0 or 1 debate and now it's all about what sources... ahh....

that poster is sweet... he taking orders on those?

I liked FF7... but I vowed never to play another FF game until that whole random battle thing was addressed... anyways, movie looks very nice... one thing bugs... anime hair on realistic looking people... kinda funny. and the uber beyond all belief super swords... it was cool when cute little deformed anime kids were swinging them around but now... hmmm... hmmm... I just keep thinking that they're arms would hurt so much in the morning.

dude... that's hideous man. actually, I think that the manga house at irvine spectrum has a boot leg vf-1j that looks kinda like that...

The question is... does it NEED explaining? Does anyone ever point at a pirate movie and go "How come Long John Silver only has one eye?" Same concept. well, when the whole idea of the space aliens is that they're some clone army without individuality and without placing importance on their lives.. to see unique individuals like breetai running around does kinda make me wonder why.... I mean, obvious he's damaged why wouldn't they just decant a new clone?

amazing, those are so sweet... wish I had skills.

And tracks isn't looking too bad either.. the paint job makes a huge difference... don't know if I'll get him though... something about him strikes me as a bit off still.

sweet, meister is looking very nice! I'm not terribly keen on his arms and feet... my main complaint with smokescreen... but meister does look easier to transform.

hmmm, sounds too risky for me... I only have one yf-19 and i love it dearly as it was my first macross toy. I'll just enjoy your handy work so more. oooooh.... ahhhh.

looks like flashback scenes from macross plus, probably from the movie version...

no, macross zero takes place after the crash of ASS-1, which figures prominently in the opening to episode 1 of mac zero... macross zero takes place before the beginning of the orignal macross tv series. so the valks were still made to fight giant humanoids... but the anti un also got the tech somehow so they end up fighting each other anyways... but the original intent was to fight giant humanoids.

pretty cool! how did you get the legs to cant out like that?

start going through some of the pinned newbie threads, that should help you out with the various series and chronology... yeah, the 1/48s are pricey and yeah, they're all big and yeah, they rule. you need at least one... just check out kevin's store: www.valkyrie-exchange.com he has the best versions of the various boot leg DVDs out there, his service is great and he ships fast.

hey, welcome welcome.... check out www.valkyrie-exchange.com... kevin has some DYRL DVDs there that are pretty good... also there are some after market stickers you can buy that pretty much everyone agrees is superior to the stock set. and now go guy a 1/48...

heh... stupid, impractical, but fun.

How so? It's not like there are proper DVDs here in the states that I could get instead and I fail to see how downloading fansubed DiVX rips are any better. I don't know about anybody else, but I plan on getting the DVDs proper when they get released in the states.. but as it is the HK boot legs are the only way for me to get them. Sorry if I don't feel like getting a new DVD player just so I can buy forty dollar import DVDs and for not learning japanese... I just really don't have the time right now or the money...

someone is bound to say it, so it might as well be me, "off topic! off topic!"

so they're making a sequel... 28 weeks later. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news04/040621a.php hope it turns out well, 28 days later is one of my favorite horror flicks...

good, gives me time to save money

it's a joke based on the amount of times he's used it in the last few days... I'm just messing with Chris... ah....

isn't this how mac plus went? all confusing and what not till the very end? even if it didn't... this seems to be the trend with anime now-a-days... like blue submarine #6... last exile... any of the limited run series/OAV's... they just sum everything up in the last exile or two and elave a whole bunch of stuff all vague and confusing. oh well.

pretty cool.. even all beat up it's still looking pretty good.

no, moot makes sense the way he uses it... moot can mean a hypothetical argument, an exercise but it can also mean irrelevant... so chrisB is saying that it is pointless to argue about the level of detail as we don't know the level of detail.. it is moot.

usually what happens around here... some people drag out examples from 4 or 5 years ago and say yamato has QC issues and other people say get over it and it all turns into a flame war. anyways, I think I agree with christopherB after some thought... I think the line art is where you want to remain faithful... but when the creators haven't bothered to fully flesh something out, I don't mind the details being added by someone who is remaining faithful to macross design aesthetics. For me, one of the appeals of macross has always been their treatment of tech in a more realistis fashion... and really having something the size of one of these mechs with little surface detailing... hatches, panels, etc... is pretty unrealistic.. it just looks wrong... even modern jets with single piece composite skins have access hatches in them.

hmmm... that's a pretty amateur teaser poster...
