    A simpler way to think of it would be to consider the number 3. 3 is 50% bigger than 2 because 50% of 2 is 1.

    I wonder if Toynami ever made their Beta if someone would fab up an Aoshima connector mechanism for this Legioss... LOL, you think that's thinking way too far ahead? I wonder if Toynami's vaporware will be able to connect to this toy that may not even be in the prototype stage

    oreillyrel's theory sucks, there's not a single conspiracy involved with it. Can you please edit all that so we at least have some sort of bad guy. Saying the Japanese are just doing what we did during our dotcom boom is so... boring.

    Well, not until Tatsunoko, CMs, and HG strike a deal to sell the repackage bundle in Robotech form If you want to get real convoluted you can also say that you're putting money into Tatsunoko's hands who will then put money in HG's hands to produce more Mospeada-esque videos for potential Japanese releasing under the Mospeada name. Yes, I'm still in conspiracy mode

    Yeah Retracting, I had heard the same thing, but was corrected a while back. The confusion lies from Tatsunoko having a happy relationship with HG and being willing to collaborate on potential business deals unlike the Macross property where BigWest is very unhappy and makes it quite clear that HG's reach only goes so far no matter how well they get along with Tatsunoko.

    Jeebus, I got mine today too. Yep, no response from Yamato first just a GIANT box full of styrofoam. I seriously had to go searching through the styrofoam before I finally felt the tiny bumps at the bottom which were the new shoulders. I'm stoked!

    I agree, afterall, if this were 25th anniversary fever wouldn't all this merchandise be slated to come out in 2008 to really celebrate it? I think Tatsunoko is probably trying to ramp up some renewed interest in Mospeada and [conspiracy] then release Shadow Chronicles in some heavily revamped form as Mospeada II. Then again, perhaps "Mospeada II" will be the big 25th anniversary celebration event... [/conspiracy].

    That's like saying the new TMNT movie must be meant for adults because it's named TMNT. I don't believe that's true.
  9. jenius
    did you get a reply before the box? I sent an email a while back with my address and everything and haven't heard anything back.

    I didn't want to spoil the show by reading and viewing the extras first. My bad.

    I'm loving Votoms. Did they ever make any Votoms video games or was the series too old before the advent of video game systems? (Christ we're getting old) Anyway, I can't help but think how perfectly VOTOMs lends itself to a video game. You can go with pretty much any genre and it works. I, for one, would love a huge RPG.

    The Wii is ridiculously popular. I moved in with a girl who doesn't play video games ever and we were deciding who would buy what furniture. I told her I would take care of everything in the entertainment center and she was like "ooh can we get a Wii??" Then, my brother calls me a bit later, "My wifey doesn't want me to get any more video game systems but she told me she'd be okay with a Wii." So apparently, chicks dig Wii. PS3 on the other hand? "Hell no, who would spend that much money on a toy??" LOL, Macross collectors should never answer that last question.

    No, that's CM's Mospeada offering... although they appear to also be in approximately 1/48 or 1/55 scale also.
  14. jenius
    A 1/48 Aoshima will be exactly the same size as a Toynami MPC if Aoshima borrows from the Imai tradition. Does the Toynami MPC look great next to your 1/48 Yamatos? If it were 1/35 scale it'd be just a tiny bit shorter than your 1/48... as it isi it will be MUCH smaller.
  15. jenius
    If it's a preassembled metal version of the Imai kit then it might prove to just be a more (or less?) rugged version of the Toynami MPC. Seems really silly to me but I'll be one of the suckers paying $100 to import a toy that is pretty much universally scorned on these boards as not being worth $50 in its Toynami incarnation. Hopefully they have an MPC and have figured out where Toynami went wrong.

    This is gonna be like the best year ever for an ol' Mospeada fan like myself. I'm more than a little perplexed as to why all these manufacturers are making the toy so SMALL though. I was just playin' with my Gakken 1/35s last night, it's such a better scale... unless you're making a Tread also... I'm also a little concerned that this toy will just be a new take on the Toynami MPC since the MPC was based on the Imai kit and I gotta assume Aoshima would also borrow from that kit since they're currently producing it.

    while these toys are a lot of fun, and certainly okay for a child under 14, I definitely wouldn't recommend them for a five year old. A 1/72 version of the 1/100 toy (with hands that slid out and landing gears that didn't need removing) would be schweet.

    I broke down and bought one... it will eventually get a full review on my site... probably right around the time it will be sold out everywhere.

    She does almost get raped by a woman in the movie though... that was interesting. Other than that there's just a bit of sexual harassment, not really assault (splitting hairs a bit) in the series. There is an episode dedicated to perverts selling pictures of her panties though.

    I like it! Here we go: Macross TV White Pieces: King: SDF-1 Queen: Minmay with Mic Bishops: Super Valks Knights: MacII Rooks: ARMDs Pawns: CannonFodders Macross TV Black Pieces: King: Boldoza's Palace Queen: Q-Rau Bishops: Glaug Knights: Male Power Armor Rooks: Vritai's Class of Ship Pawns: Regults

    Okay, I still don't have a functional computing environment at my new place but I was able to complete the Series 2 review just the same. Check it! I give you... a simulated barrel roll (um, part of one at least )

    It's definitely more episodic than most but the character thing is purely subjective. I'm sure we could find many board members who thought the characters were just wonky in each of the other shows (Chirico wasn't winning any personality contests) and that the other shows had more than their fair share of misplaced humor. I thought the humor worked pretty well in Mospeada... not so much in RT's New Gen though.

    I think that's the definition of "anime" right there... or certainly the vast majority of it.

    All the image quoting here would give A7 an aneurism.

    You can definitely get replacements from Toynami but God only knows how long it will take. The good news is you won't have to mail everything in to get them. Just send in a request and wait.
