No comment.

No he used the Hikaru 1J super armor

Only to you Dr V. 338971[/snapback] What is that? A super pickle? Looks like it was done by a retarded dog. 339075[/snapback] Actually, I don't think it's that bad for a 6 year old. 339106[/snapback] How old are you now?

I think though that a lot of it is just plain ignorance. They were not necesarily heavily into robotech, but are stuck with the idea that robotech = the original, and macross = a japanese version. Due to not knowing any better. Of course if they were fans of robotech as oposed to casual watchers of the show they would eventually be led to find out more and realise the truth, which some have done. But I got to figure that: Robotech was popular due to exposure (international audience), while macross wasn't due to inaccessibility. Inaccessibility meaning people who are lazy and don't read subs so they settled for robotech thinking it was the same thing. A friend of mine won't even bother watching the proper space battleship yamato because as a casual watcher, he would rather hear english - kind of shallow, but I figure there are lots of people like this who do not like keeping thier eyes at the bottom of the screen. They look at it as entertainment not as art, so the whole "purity of seeing the original" does not entice them enough to abandon what they saw first. And on top of that, now you have a generation gap that won't touch an old series anyway. (ie the kids that only want new anime who wouldn't touch macross zero just because they might not be familiar with macross events, its timeline and future history, having not seen the original tv series) So now you have only small fanbase of support for the macross series and related movies and ovas to market to. (as well as HG discouraging sellers from buying macross toys to pimp thier own robotech grrr This is what I mean by competition - robotech competes with macross for $) Whether fans of macross realise it, the series could wither away unless people slowly convert to macross in non-bastardised form by watching it in thier native language and then slowly turn towards hearing the pure form of it. This is how I see most people converted. Like what one poster mentioned, at first you want to hear the english because you don't like to miss out on whats happening onscreen, (I remember seeing akira and really caring more about catching all the action onscreen than acting) but then after a time you switch to sub because you start to notice inferiour acting. This is what happens only after you've seen both and had a chance to compare. So taste refines over time. But reeling in new people involves a bit of compromise. (ie giving them that option to be lazy and in a relaxed state - but when they do finally switch over they notice the difference and see the more kiddy version and laugh at what they once thought was good. ) But Robotech will continue to exist because there are already comics, novels, the dvd, the games, fans that don't want to give up support, people buying toys from companies making them for robotech etc (lots of people here on macrossworld who caved in and bought MPC alphas - face it, in the end we are all selfish and there is no integrity Knowing that you're supporting robotech by buying toynami alphas doesn't seem to affect peoples ability to sleep at night knowing they are supporting the enemy..) In the end what matters is money. If people are still buying stuff with robotech written on it, they can't really say they are helping to destroy the monster now can they? In some ways when you look at it, there is probably less chance of robotech dying out than macross sadly. (due to international recognition of robotech) And for every purchase of a robotech toy, game, DVD, whatever, you are probably helping the beast to stay alive and continue, and yes, legitimise its existance. The enemy's weakness is that fans of robotech will eventually defect when they "awaken". Until then I consider the two worlds are still alive: people are importing and buying macross toys but people are also buying robotech stuff as well due to ignorance (robotech got more exposure to the masses in the 80s) and/or because it makes no difference to them. 339782[/snapback] Jaeeeez this guy rants way too much. My eyes are hurting.

and here is a group pics of my TV Valks and max

Ask and you shall recieve.

dont tease us with small pics...cmon, you can do better than that aaajin 338905[/snapback] Sorry it's the best I can do with the easy share program during the saving process I had to select best for web feature under what format I should save menu.... since I wasn't able to save it and posting it in it's normal size. That's why I couldn't post pics earlier.

I'm looking for a spare right leg/airintake plus the connecting pieces that connect the leg to the ball joint for my 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru it some how cracked possibly from when it almost fell backwards when I attached the fast packs on it I caught it but the damage was done. If there is any one with this spare part from customizing their Valkyries PM me or e-mail me I be waiting.

I have a question where do you get the pen to detail the lines that Yamato forgot to do on my 1A's head? It is missing some detail plus I like to customize my missles as well, red tip and black lines.

Don't get me started on Yamato's art work on the boxes. I know it's a silly gripe but when I see the work that they did on their Votoms (it's the same company, no?), I feel like Valk fans are getting gypped. There's TONS of great Macross artwork that they could have easily used on the packaging but instead they go for some second-rate photochopping. Ugh. 337937[/snapback] I could have done a better job with it. I did a box art design project for my VF-1S and VF-1A with the fast packs on them. I imagine I would have done better .... if I was contracted to do so.... heh heheh heh think of all money I get for every box sold with my design on it.

you should check my post I already put a personal touch on my CF still working on though. lets just say it a work in progress.personlized Cannon Fodder

Because nobody would buy it. 338008[/snapback] Sure they would. Lots've people've bought the bootlegs already. 338009[/snapback] Belive me I have that set of bootlegs Also known as fansubs. should have gone with the DVD set though but considering I didn't have a DVD player and strapped for cash I whent for the VHS fansubs.

I wonder if CN will pick up on this?

338813[/snapback] OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING. The Japanese goddess of song is reprising her role in english verison of Macross. What a minute didn't I wish that she would do this?!? Atleast with her singing, the song will be sung in english the right way, my guess is that she probaly heard that Reba West was auditioning to reprise her roleas Minmay and rushed in to save everyone from more torture from impaling themselves. Maybe that would explain how RW came out of an audition battered and bruised heh heh.

Here are some more before I sign off.

And here are the other pic of my cannon fodder with the decals on I have done a lot of trimming with the decalsto place on the 1A; however, the way I saved the photos to allow them to be posted here. You might not see what I have done to make it look like I had used waterslide decals but speaking of decals I wonder if anasazi would make me a set of custom decals I'm not done with it yet and I still have to get the fast packs from toy-wave.

And the Before and afte pics of my VF-1A Production type Valkyrie (AKA the Cannon fodder I Know I said I was gonna do a custom with this Valk but changed my mine atleast for awhile I gonna do some photoshop editing with the pics to see what must be done first before I plan my next step so I have to get another one.

And here is my VF-1S team

Annnnnd for my next set.

I agree they should have used a solid color plastic heat sheild instead of the clear plastic heatshield for the TV Version Valkyries. I thought they were doing that with the Hikaru 1J until I took a closer look at tot see they are still using the clear plastic with a line drawn on it. Anyway I think I figured out why I wasn't able to post any pics from using the Kodak Easy Share program here is my first test subject using a digital camera for the first time.

Well I finally got mine much sooner than I suspected on a friday instead of on Tuesday I was to anxious to get home to open it but as see from any photo I see of everyones CF I'm not the only one that has a CF with a silver head laser. I thought they were black from the prototype pictures. But atleast it came with a heat shield. as others complained some of theirs didn't come with it. I lucked out this time.

or a decent scrubbing.

I did, and I am still having trouble with it. I might have to save them on a zip disk and move to another computer because it might be my sisters computer that is blocking me from posting these pics.

You think you feel bad, I passed it up on the Max 1A, saying that one 1A was good enough for me until I got the Hikaru 1S and got the VF-1J M&M and go back into toy-wave to see the Max 1A is still there to my surprise it's sold out all I have to say is SH$%#%T I have a job it was cheap I could have gotten it along with the fast packs. 336391[/snapback] Yeah I got 13 of them at the time. It was a great price. 336531[/snapback] Would you consider selling me one.

actually I think this thread is rather funny and sad at the same time.
