How did you clean those up? Nice job!!!

Yes Tigh is a drunk, but there's a reason that Admiral Adama keeps him around. When the pressure is on, Tigh is a damn good XO! However, that's all he'll ever be. His downfall other than being a drunk is that he is not in touch with the average man. Much like a bad politician, he cannot relate to the average person. But in the military all you do is take and give commands, and Tigh does that well. As questioned in the film "A Bronx Tale" would you rather be feared or loved? Adama has the respect and love of his entire crew because not only can he give commands, but he knows how to listen to his crew. Adama definitely did the right thing for the good of the fleet by promoting his only son as Commander of the Pegasus. After all that's happened lately on board the "Beast" and it's dead prior Commanders, he provided them with an individual that knows what the hell he's doing, and most importantly someone that he and President Laura Roslyn can trust. Especially with the popularity of Gaius Baltar on the rise amidst an election year.

yup... the quality definitely varies!

My small collection. More to come...

Putting Tigh as commander would have given the show a bit more room to expand on, Except that Tigh is useless as anything except Adama's XO and everybody knows it, including Tigh. -And remember, Tigh stated when Adama was down that HE never wanted a command.

A Commanders rank and he's tapping Dualla? NIIIICE!!!!

I got it, Dualla as Minmay. She looked pretty good last episode. Hikaru of course is Apollo. Hey, if Starbuck keeps up the boozin', she could be Roy!

"Since when is "rewritten and spliced-together" a genre? Macross and Robotech are the same genre. One's just a poor hackjob while the other is the original product." DAMN RIGHT!!! I don't like being sold an inferior product!

Dude, where are the real toys? Those "midget" ones are lame.

I'd like to see some better shots of that Akira bike. Especially some from the sides.

So, is it just a disc that you bought from modchip.com? I too have a flip top and would love to try this out!!!

Hornet.... killer avatar!!!

Being a visually oriented person, I would say that I fell in love with the TV series when I first saw it as RT (age 12). Now that I am older (age 34) I am more critical of it. I do feel the story is more complete and detailed than DYRL, but I have such a hard time watching the series now due to the quality of animation. I recently re-watched it about 3 yrs. ago. I admit I love that fact that Kawamori always refers back to DYRL as the "official" visuals (mecha/character designs) of the Macross origins. I absolutely loved Mac Plus and Zero, although I think Zero lacked a bit in story development. As far as Mac 7 and Mac II, I never really bothered because of the negativity in opinion that surrounds them. I do admit when I buy anime I stay away from series and lean more towards OVA and anime movies because I know their overall quality will be better and more consistent. I am also not that enthusuastic about watching Mac II due to Kawamori having nothing to do with it, and Mac 7's whole idea of watching some guy cruise around in his VF-19 while playing guitar is not that appealing to me. Although I am very curious to see what happens to Max and Millia. Unfortunately, the anime DVD rental store near me does not carry Mac 7 and has no plans to. Oh well...

Damn right Roy!!!

I definitely see way more maturity from Hikaru in DYRL than I ever did in RT. Perhaps because in RT he had kind of a dorky-innocent voice? Notice how much deeper it is in the original Macross series as well as DYRL.

General Manager. I run a successful local business... sub-contractor, contractor, etc. I love it and it allows me to fulfill my Macross appetite... among other things!

1. Every Batman film except Batman Begins, hell... every Tim Burton film blows! 2. Robocop/Paul Verhoeven films 3. T3 4. Sin City (I actually love Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, but after dragging my woman to this film, I leaned over and apologized after seeing the first 10 minutes.) 5. Any Bond film with Timothy Dalton

Does Shawn even come in here? And what in the hell does Graham do for a living anyway? Doesn't he live in Hong Kong?

Uhh.... where is this located? I did not see the location mentioned. I know I'll definitely be at San Diego Comic Con this year.

How can I get this? I have a flip-top/Swap Magic PS2. Will that work?

Which VF does he pilot?

I've noticed that when I watch the 20th Anniversary DVD footage for VFX 1, it seems like Aegis is piloting a VF-11, then in VFX 2 I think he's piloting a VF-19A according to the Hidetaka Tenjin Art Works of Macross Valkyrie book. Can someone confirm this? I have never played either VFX games and I am curious. Also, is there much more animation in the games than what is shown on the 20th Anniv. DVD?

Dude, It has just about every Valkyrie imaginable. It includes the Series, DYRL, VFX 1 & 2, model covers, MZero, and a few other paintings. As far as technical info... it's pretty much an art book. Unless you know how to read the small print in Japanese. Thare are a few new pieces such as the cover (which is incredible) and a illustration of a WWII Bristish Spitfire, a gnarly unfolding pullout of Hikaru and his Valk in the hangar, and a new one of Roy in his flight suit.

I just got this bad boy today and it was worth every penny I paid for it! Talk about some killer paintings! Anybody else pleased/displeased with this book? Opinions? The newer paintings dated 2005, such as the cover art and the one of Roy are breathtaking!

R.I.P. Pat... and thank you for the wonderful movie memories that you left for all to enjoy... God Bless!
