UN Spacy

The new stands still can't support 1/48's gunpod in Fighter Mode.

Any predictions how this'll end up? I was SO looking foward to Logan putting a bullet into his noggin. PLUS yet another CTU mole that'll definitely end up biting them in the ass. I'm starting to wonder if Chloe or Audrey will make it to the end of this season. FINALLY that little scumbag Miles is trying my patience.

I'm suprised more VF-0 topics aren't showing up. Hehehehe. [/knockonwood]

Horray. My boxset just came in.

Sorry to bump but now that we all know Kawamori is working on Masterpiece Starscream I felt this thread needed it.

24: The Movie shot in London?

I'm planning to see it this weekend.

Awesome mount. Excellent weathering.

Episode #37 is out! http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrent...dfb4417.torrent

I'm amazed that Yamato decided to tampo print so much on the VF-0S. Any idea why they couldn't go the extra mile and tampo print the U.N. Spacy kite near the cockpit? These were the same folks that couldn't even print eyes on the Konig Monster so I'm pretty excited.

Thanks Graham. Good thing I cracked open another beer......

Screw that. I'm NOT giving Lucas anymore money.

This is a tough decision because we all know TakaraTomy will milk this mold until the cows come home. It's gonna be hard NOT picking up the obvious repaints because they're so iconic.

I guess it's safe to say that Macross is Yamato's "cash cow"?

While we're on the subject of the Q-Rau HLJ.com has a pretty sweet deal on the CM Miria figures. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00034

You guys are NUTS. Everyone knows a suave sophisticated man like Roy Focker would enjoy only the finest of nectars. COLT 45! Go ahead. Ask Billy Dee Williams.

Man it's looooooooooooooks GOOD. Let's hope Spacey knock this one out of the ballpark.

Two or three years ago Yamato made a poll (targeted to the Japanese market) where they asked which toy was the most wanted by the fans. The Q-Rau was one of the options. So, yes, they listen to consumers. Japanese consumers. Think of the current releases, Macross, Votoms, Megazone 23. All niche markets (80's shows) targeted to niche consumers: they sell few units of an expensive toy with a high profit margin to high income consumers. Again: Japanese fans that were 8-10 years old back in the mid 80's. When you start a business, and you think about a possible product to sell, there's two marketing cases you take into consideration. You produce what people are currently demanding or you explore a niche market. Case one, you produce what people like and ask for. Case two (Yamato), you produce toys from shows that were broadcast 20 years ago cause you think there's gonna be demand for that product. When the founder/ers of Yamato started their business, did they sit back and think: gee, does the world remember shows like Macross, Votoms or Megazone 23? When Yamato's CEO explored the possibility of a 1/60 MKII Monster, did he/she think: no, lets scrap that insane idea cause the overseas market is not going to pay the high shipping cost and we are going to eat dead stock. Yamato knows there's an overseas market, BUT they only pay attention to the Japanese consumer. Back in the old days they were kind enough to speak to and share info with a BRITISH guy living in HONG KONG (god save the king, insert Graham here) Graham does not represent the US market nor the rest of the world. Disclaimer: this post wasn't intended to reply to your post Twoducks, I just used your question to make some stupid brainstorming 396159[/snapback] Wait a sec. Does anyone know the stipulations before Yamato started the poll? I can't believe that the Japanese fans choose a Q-Rau over an SDF-1, VF-4, or another YF-19.

Meh. Hurry up and get started on a Rumble Roses already.

Well. Just two more days till the Wrestlemania Revenge Tour hits San Jose. Hopefully it'll be a LOT more entertaining than last nights RAW. I have some pretty decent seats I hope Cena puts on a good show.

You just gotta love it when a starship shows up. Name some of your favorite starship designs that just're memorable to you. If anyone can identify these that'd be awesome. BTW. I can only recognize the Andromeda II (in the first pic) but I don't remember seeing it in any Yamato movie or series. It's gorgeous.

I have the game and it's WAY too easy. Man. The scenes with the drunk guy was pretty damn funny, you could tell he was gonna get PWNED when he started waving at Chloe. You could lock Jack in one of the bathrooms and he'd STILL be able to take control of the plane. BTW. Can any aviation experts confirm what Jack did to take over the controls of the plane? Is this even possible from the storage compartments? Only FOUR episodes to go! Let's hope CTU has a F-18 of their own.

Usually Animepunch. But if I'm really bored and wanna start poo I head over to Robotech and start talking about Yamato toys.
