  1. Resin kit . Not really sure of a reliable source except those of us that have picked them up over the years..
  2. It’s ironic how many of us started out with RT and were inspired by it. But shortly afterwards discovered the SOURCE work Macross. And most of us never really looked back. Discovering Macross after RT was like enjoying my 8th grade history class and then discovering Howard Zinn’s A People’s History. I threw away my old history books and .. Nevertheless , I applaud your efforts to open such a discussion. Unfortunately, where would such a topic reside?? I don’t have any personal issue with the thread , but many will. Just try to understand why! I will say that even though RT, And Macross for that matter , were (and arguably still are) about selling toys and making money. But it was also about taking science fiction and certain themes into a new and creative direction. And of course there are stereotypes , archetypes and social issues , etc.present. It was written and created by humans! I understand that many westerners had(have?) easy access to RT , but these days Macross is not hard to get your hands on. And , I dare say, if you had approached this thread with the title Macross substituting RT in every instance, you would probably have gotten a lot more positive and participatory responses. If you had an understanding of the Macross universe to date , THIS would be an interesting discussion! But approaching it from an RT angle is maybe doomed here. I hope your discussion can stay alive somehow!
  3. We’ve touched on this a little before . wasnt the VF-25 supposed to be the “next’ main stay fighter of NUNS by the the time the Delta story occurred ?
  4. Sounds really awesome! Until I think about it.. Although, I thought Full Metal Alchemist wasn’t bad.. Curious to see how it goes..
  5. Omg, THAT’s why! lol At this point , Macross could never touch the marketing mayhem Gundam has spread over the western world! And if they tried, macross would have to be Pokémon with singing, dancing , transforming....oh god no.. maybe we should be thanking HG... (blasphemy, I know, I know..)
  6. My statement was also in reference to 2019& 2020..or one of these years.. You stinker;) lol I figure they put the brakes for a few reasons. One may be that it would have seriously backlogged Bandai &co to produce more variations and hero schemes, I even doubt we would have gotten a compliment deaign this soon.
  7. Episode 19. About 13:30 in. Perhaps it’s the translation I’m getting..“Furthermore, his majesty is the descendant of the legendary star singer” Roid speaking of Heinz.
  8. Ok just a sec. Just rewatching some Delta , and just caught the part where Roid says Ketchup boy is the descendant of the legendary star singer..? Is this star singer the “true king” Rudanjal Rom Mayan? I must’ve missed this before when I first watched the series and was not feeling it. Is there any other references to this “legendary star singer?” This isn’t an M2 connection , is it? its also interesting to note that the 171 is still a main stay fighter

    Hi-Metal R

    Tempted by the VF-2.. I really like the scale of the HMR’s for display and stuffing into storage. Lol. The HMR VF-4 is a for sure. Always loved that design! It WAS the holy grail for a while back when Yamato produced it in 1/60. It’s still amongst my prized vaks. My evolution VF-2 on the other hand..not so loved. My Yammy VF-11c is nicer I think.
  10. All kinds of bad.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Ouch man. You need some serious inspiration! Someone please send in a pic of their Turkey carved into a YF-19 please! ( with head laser intact!)
  12. Now this tread is properly titled. im sure it will happen one of these years!
  13. My son and I loved the first one. Eagerly awaiting the second part!
  14. While I’m sure this release will be everything the old Yammies weren’t, I have zero interest in getting one.
  15. Quite sneaky and , ultimately, annoying. back to our regular broadcast noob program.. About Frontier. So the Vajra bail (presumably to find another world to inhabit) out to parts unknown (?) and Alto goes with them, pulling an Ender-ish maneuver. Is it hinted or stated if they all went trans Galactic?
  16. Enabling Windermere to attempt to rule the galaxy might be worthy of punishment..of course he could always play stupid ignorance to the whole affair. Though he wasn’t. And, considering the source, how reliable is this Lady M dangle anyhow?
  17. So they’re all lounging with Shin and Alto now..? Heh! About the SV-262 Draken- are there examples of it being used by the NUNS or any other governments aside from Windermere ?
  18. Now THAT would be cool. so, any info on the new movie then? When will we get a trailer or teaser for that?
  19. That looks very cool! It really brings out the best lines on the VF-1
  20. Same here! Though I do agree, being a fan doesn’t mean you can write or present a good story that everyone (besides the hardcore base) is going to enjoy or even be able to follow..
  21. Great analogy! Whoa..! A dedicated fleet (several!) combing the galaxy for any and all lost Megaroads please . (But what if it’s not even in our galaxy any more..?) I totally forgot about that, my next re watch..it’s going to be a long wait for anything resembling a new series., I think. And M7 will probably get me thru it.. Very informative. Thanks amigo!
  22. Just rewatching Flashback 2012. Its intersting to note Megaroad -01 was “classified “as missing 2016. It’s last reported located was near the center of the Milky Way. (as we all know) But my noob question is , it only took 4 years to get that far? And haven’t any other migrant or colonization fleets made it that far? Also, I would have thought the disappearance of the most important and first (long distance colonization fleets) vessel of all time would have been thoroughly investigated. Now, I do realize that the floating head does not want to EVER go there (!) And this , of course, is a subject (Megaroad-01) that forever circles a black hole.. BUT, hasn’t there been any mention of these points before? Officially or canon, I mean .
