    So basically, Macross is Just Miscommunication and Gundam is Bleep You, Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Right?

    Or as debris. If anything could use a redesign from the ground up, it's Southern Cross, mech and all.

    If they want "dark and gritty", they can always imagine being a survivor of the orbital bombardment that devastated the earth in SFDM.

    Just gotta make sure it's either for your region or you have a player that can play whatever region it is. Try here: https://picclick.com/?q=yamato+2202+dvd

    Seto...you know better than to bring politics into this discussion!

    No...give the kits to me.
  8. pengbuzz
    Right? Maybe they should have saved all that for an animated movie/ series about the Engineer's society or something...

    One of the biggest problems of the old kits will be age; if you get an older kit, try to opt for one of the more recent pressings of it, as polystyrene and decals become brittle with time and exposure to UV rays. Also, be aware that with transforming kits, you should scrape paint away from areas where the parts will frequently make contact or scrape together. I have found that transforming kits can be made to work well with some precautions, such as replacing fragile plastic parts with metal or sturdier plastics like ABS where and when possible (such as the square retaining bar for the "backpack" on IMAI's 1/72 VF-1 transforming valks). But that said: the advantage of them is that with some work, you can make a kit that can rival their later counterparts.

    Well, they could always try introducing the Aliens to fast food; look what it did for the Predator:

    Now it just needs this logo on it: Seriously though, your Typhoon looks fantastic!

    The space equivalent of hitting a pothole and busting an axle, then waiting for AAA.

    I'd rather listen to Planet Dance than watch the absolute train wreck that "Witch from Mercury" turned out to be from go. Not to mention Fire Bomber would trash Walkure any day of the week. Plus for the story and characters, MII for the mecha and 7 for the music! Why is it now I can imagine him sitting at home trying to tune his pacemaker?

    Right; for that matter, what would be the current lifespan of your average person given such advances? I'm sure overtechnology and the Zentraedi cloning machines have given some insight on human anatomy and physiology. Guess we'll have to see, but maybe "70" isn't so old anymore?

    Guess Metamucil only goes so far...

    Good point Yeah, I think I was crossing my wires with Gundam or something else, admittedly. I didn't know they had issues with the 3000 (don't really read much Japanese, so the Macross Chronicles and whatnot are not primarily in mind for me). As for the VF-4, not a big fan of that design to be honest. I like that concept! It would also allow the characters to show development in their combat flying skills, and really push people to their limits in having to improvise tactics and strategy to overcome the limits of the tech they're using and the advantage of the enemy.
  17. pengbuzz
    Yeah, actually I meant the VF-3000. :redface: Got beercans for fingers here and I hit the "4" instead of the "3".
  18. pengbuzz
    Yup. Pretty much. I sometimes wonder if an infographic should be drawn up showing why Macross and Gundam are not the same thing, but I doubt they'd pay any attention to it. I'd settle for a story on another colony during the Macross Plus era, or a sequel to MII (yeah, it's a different production, I know). Instead of the hot new superfighter prototype of the week, maybe they could focus on some serious character development as well as flesh out the world during or just after either of those eras. The VF-4000 or the VF-5000 would be good candidates as the main VF for colonies in the first idea. The VF-2SS meantime would work for the second.

    Hard pass. Playmates found new ways to fail where they once succeeded.

    Earl Grey, hot?

    Actually, there were more than just three. Not to mention: they actually build quite nicely once you get some paint and glue onto them-

    From FoxNews: Paul Reubens, the comedian who played the popular children's character Pee-wee Herman, has died at 70 following a battle with cancer. "Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness," his long-time rep said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit," she added.

    In the next couple of months, our finances should loosen up considerably after the move; I've been thinking of resurrecting my cat's eye kit. I'll let you know how that goes, and hopefully be paying you for a set of these!

    Okay... time for an autopsy on this one: 1) The linework has no "flow" to it and is too uniform, making everything look flat. 2) The proportions on the "woman in red" are really off; her head is HUGE compared to Claudia's. 3) Did someone rip the front of the girl in red's blouse off or something? 4) Why do they have their arms behind their backs? It neutralizes any way to convey emotion with their hands/ arms and makes them look like they're having a staring contest. 5) Why is Roy sitting in the background? With the look on his face, he seems to have about as much interest in this confrontation as Rick does asking Lynn Kyle for his opinion on the military! Even if Roy were friends with the woman in red, he would not be sitting there passively; we would be trying to get between the two ladies or something and putting an end to this confrontation ( professional or personal). On the background: is Roy perching by the edge of a cliff? 7) For that matter: who sits like that?! Roy's left ankle's gotta be killing him by now! 8 ) Speaking of death: would somebody get poor Roy a value meal or something? The poor guy look like he hasn't eaten since the SDF-1 took off!!! 9) Perspective: non-existent (unless either: A) Roy is 9 and a half feet tall, or B) Claudia and her nemesis here are 3 and 1/2 feet tall!) ) 10) Colors: did someone spill their watercolor set?
