Thanks man your a life saver, i will be going home from deployment in two weeks and that was my only problem with my 19 before i left.

Okay so the old threads are really long and i know it has been addressed already but maybe some one will help anyway. So one of my wings became loose because of just regular transformation and i just want to know what what's the best and easiest way to fix it?

Well said Zinjo, and for the record i loved starship troopers too. Rico's Roughnecks!

Excellent page, great info, a must see for all fans. Keep up the good work

Meh that's all opinion really. I have read the comics and i am an avid fan of many of those heroes. Sure the movies changed a lot of things but there were still good and entertaining in their own right. Most things are rarely ever has good as their original material, but that doesn't mean that they don't work in other mediums. And last i checked there have been many times that the original source material has been outright terrible anyway, or do i need to bring up the spiderman clone saga?

And for the record the DYRL story is perfect. For the coverage of all the things that happened before they were in space you could show brief clips followed by paragraphs explaining it. Look at Star Wars, tons of things happened in between the films and they summed it all up in the text before each one. I would then use pretty much the exact same frame work as DYRL but inject more action is some areas. Like when Misa and Hikaru are on Earth you could easily cut to some footage of the Macross engaging in fights and what not on thier journey home. The biggest area i think you could add action is the damn scene where hikaru is running up a flight of stairs. Okay i get it he has a long way to go, it doesn't mean we need to waste 10 mins watching him go up the stairs, cut to some footage of the valks kicking ass or something. I have some many great ideas that would make this movie not only work live action, but be just as good as DYRL.

And that is where you are wrong, you only cited movies that were terrible, what about movies like: A History Of Violence Road To Perdition Xmen Franchise (although the last wasn't great) Spiderman Batman Men In Black The First two Ninja Turtle Movies..... I could go on. Most of hollywood is an adaptation of something else so to assume that a Macross live adaptation would be terrible is wrong. It all depends on who handles it, produces it, directs, writes, etc. etc. They are many great people who can handle this right. Hell I could do it, but unfortunately Hollywood isn't known for giving unknown or up and comers huge budget films right off the bat.

Already addressed that but then that is my own opinion mind you. I don't mind sequels i just hate how everything merits a squel now a days.

I dont think the story would be hard to adapt really. Stretching it out over 2 or 3 movies though would be painful. I hate how now a days everything requires a sequel. It really doesn't. I am sure an excellent writer can cut it down to 2 hours. Make the movie 3 acts, and make each act about 45 to 50 minutes. Between acts show a passage of time to say somthing like a few months have passed blah blah blah blah.... It can be done, hell if i had the funding i would do it myself since i am a filmmaker. But then you come too the problem of releasing stateside at which point HG will get into the mix and screw the whole project one way or another. Long ago i mentioned making a Robotech movie just to have a Macross movie in the states. Basically i stated that if someone took all the great things that is Macross and placed them under the Robotech banner just to make it state side would you macrossworlders watch it. I believe i was chastized for the idea. I understand the hate towards robotech, but honestly a macross saga movie under the robotech banner is the only way a live action movie will be made stateside. Take it or leave it.

Well first i want to see a gundam movie (seeing as how it is a much bigger franchise). not because i am a bigger fan (because i am not, MACROSS IS ALWAYS NUMBER 1) but because if it bombs then i won't be upset because i didn't care to begin with. but if it works and is successful then they can move forward to macross. that's my two cents.

You know i am not too sure about live action translations of anime, especially mecha anime. I remember when they did that with Gundam a few years back and it didn't turn out so well. Plue S.K. from what has been said isn't as passionate about Macross and probably would pass on the idea. I could be wrong, but looking at past anime adaptations i wouldn't want to see one. It would kill me and the franchise.

Wow i thought this thread was long dead. Here's an update though. I went and bought the renewal version and it has been sitting waiting patiently for me to come back from my deployment to mess with it. I still have one month left until i go home and see and pose all my new toys. God this month will suck

I found a used jetfire without the armor in an old school toys novelty store back in the early 2000s and had a joygasm. Then i read toyfare and saw that the MPC was coming out soon and i bought 2 VF-JS. Then i learned of the infamous 1/48 coming soon and well the rest is history. Although actually i was buying models and non transforming toys back during the 15th anniversary none of those really got me into the mass collecting and buying i do today. Ironically enough it was because of that issue of toyfare that i started collecting that magazine as well. Ahh the memories.

Okay. Dammit that means i would have to wait until they rerelease the 0A and 0S to get them then.

I was wondering if anyone has ordered a VF-0S/0A recently. I ask because i want to buy one but I don't know if i buy one now if it will have the new shoulder fixes. If i order it from HLJ will it have the new fixes, does anyone know?? ANYONE?? HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!! Okay enough insanity.

Dammit!!! I just dropped 350 last month for a Max because i didn't think they were going to release it anytime soon. Oh well maybe now i will get a Miriya. I never wanted it before but might as well get one now just in case they stop selling them again.

Okay I know this has been brought up before, i think, but where is a good place online to buy some of the cases, i want one for my stuff.

Yeah I saw that on CNN.com and was a little shocked but oh well. I think it is all a ploy to let Steve Rogers quit being a superhero now that he lost in Civil War, and like someone said he will be back later when some writer decides that Cap needs to come back. Or they will just let someone else be Captain America for awhile then Steve Rogers comes to kick his ass Bruce Wayne style like in Knightfall

Meh I don't have many loved ones per say outside of family and friends. As i do miss them I haven't seen most of them in months as is so it is easier to tolerate, while i am not used to be away from my valks for more than like 2 weeks. yes i know it is sad but hey i wouldn't be on these forums if i were any other way.

You know this is bad. I am currently deployed and lurking in the toy section so isn't the greatest thing for me to do. I love toys, I miss my toys, and I just bought a slew of new toys to include a 1:48 TV Super Max (finally!!), a gunbuster, a starscream, and voltron, and a perfect change getter robo, and I haven't touched or will even touch any of them until May. It's like watching porn without the payoff lol

I can't stop crying and laughing at the same time

the "ATM" lines was what i was referring too, hahah pillow pants lol

Well honestly I would go after Misa, I like mature women, but I would have slept with Minmei first, lol. You know what they say about younger girls, if not go watch clerks 2. hahahahhaha

Actually the series I was referring to is written by Daniel Way. The Garth Ennis one was just a mini series, the one I am talking about is an ongoing series.

I am a huge fan of SOTD, and i look forward to anything those guys put out. I have never seen spaced, and only just recently heard of it but i am going to see if i can get a copy on dvd somewhere. more tv shows to add into my collection
